If you have been searching for a reliable Internet based job for any time at all, you will be aware that some outlandish claims are being made regarding the amount of money you can expect to make.
Home based business opportunities come in many forms, including direct sales, affiliate sales and advertising programs such as Google Adwords. All these programs require a one time or recurring fee, and a substantial amount of funds to handle advertising advertising efforts. On the other hand, a more typical brick-and-mortar work at home position is much more difficult to find. One major difference between the two types of work is that you should never have to pay the company offering the job any money to begin work. This is not to say, however, that some legitimate companies will not charge a nominal fee to obtain direct contact information for these companies, saving you the time and trouble in research.
