Don't pay to work!

Hello all. I think this is one of the most important things to remember when looking for a work at home job. DO NOT PAY TO WORK!!! There are a ton of scams out there that are going to want you to give them money and that will be the last you hear from them.

Now there are a few exceptions to this rule such as Liveops where you will have to pay for a background fee or equipment up front but this is very unusual and will not happen most of the time. If you run across a job that looks legit and has a fee go to the Work Place Like Home forum and ask around about it.

Speaking of the forum, it is great and is the place to go when looking for great work at home advice. Read through all the posts and search for any company you are interested in. There is a wealth of knowledge there if you take the time to look.

Don't forget to check out Rat Race Rebellion's leads. They post them around 8AM or 9AM eastern time every day.

Congrats on your first blog and of course for some great tips to newbies out there. Never ceases to amaze me how many times I still hear about people paying for opportunities.

Thanks for the positive feedback! It really is sad to know that many people are unaware of the scams out there right now. In the near future I'm going to be posting helpful hints on spotting scams.
