on 2/26/2009 Great ideas! Just beware of trolls posting links to websites, you really have to research most sites. Legit ones don't require you to heavily promote signing up under others, they pay to advertise on real sites.

on 2/14/2009 Excellent Advice! I've been working at home for almost 7 years and haven't had to pay to work at home. Yes I did get caught in a few scams but it was only in the beginning. I have since found my way and know to never pay to work, they need to pay you for your services!SandraThey're Accepting Applicationshttp://www.document-do-it-yourself-service.com/jobs.html
