Good Day Fellow Freelancer,

You will find 100’s of work at home opportunities but along the road of freelance you will find plenty of scams along the way.  The best way to avoid scams be sure to look for all the signs of a scam like:

• Exaggerated claims of income!
• Make money for little or no work!
• No experience necessary!
• Have inside information!
• Needs payment before can provide you with information!

If the freelance opportunity passes the 5 scam signs I would highly recommend that you investigate any company you plan to work for as a freelancer by checking with the Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org and doing a Google search to view any issues out on the net.  Search company name, company address, company telephone and even company email address!  And last but not least ask for references!

Never and I mean never pay anything before you get your freelance job and most importantly “If It’s Too Good To Be True!  It Is!”.

If you are still in doubt do not do it!

You will find many work at home companies offering real freelance jobs like:

1. Alpine Access – Hires customer service representatives using your own computer and telephones.
2. Convergys – Hires customer service representatives, sales agents and help desk persons working from home.
3. Extended Presence – Hires outbound sales agents and marketing support staff who work from home.
4. Internet Girl Friday – Hires information technology support as well as administrative agents who work from home.
5. LiveOps – Hires customer service representatives using your own computer and telephones.
6. Spheris – Hires medical transcription and clinical documentation agents.
7. Staffcentrix – Hires virtual assistants.
8. VIPDesk – Offers a home-based concierge service!
9. Voicelog – Hires representatives to perform verifications for transactions done online or by telephone.
10. West At Home – Hires home-based customer service agents.

You can view more information about the above companies or others at www.extramoneysolutions.com.

You should have some experience before applying with any of the above companies! You should have a great phone personality! You should have a resume! You should have a quiet and private home office!  Be self disciplined and organized!  You will need to have some equipment before you apply for such positions like a computer, internet connection, telephone with head set, ability to fax, email address and even a small web site will help.  You will have a lot of competition and you will need to set yourself aside from the completion and a resume type web site will do this for you along with a photo of your office.

To your success, Ozark Mike
