Home-Biz-Help BizOpp Review: Home Assembly of Craft Items

This one sounds so good! A wholesale distributor sends you "kits." You put them together, send the finished product back, and get paid for your time, effort and skill. All in the comfort of your own home.

You envision quality craft items similar to what you've seen at local craft fairs. Unfortunately what you get more closely resembles the mass-produced-in-China stuff you get as a consolation prize in the fun zone at the County Fair.

Worse than that, somehow your work never quite measures up to standards, so you don't get paid for what you did. You are out the money you paid for the "kits" and your chances of selling any remaining items to recover your costs are not good at all.

Let me give you a first-hand example of why that cheap mass-produced stuff will never be profitable to you.

I recently bought a pair of rubber flip-flops at Wal-Mart. They were not on sale - I paid the regular price. We have to assume that everyone who handled these items did so at a profit - no matter how small. The raw material was either produced in or sent to China - at a profit to someone. The raw material was processed and then formed into the finished product - at a profit to someone. The finished product was transported to a port city - at a profit to someone. The finished product was shipped across the Pacific Ocean, unloaded probably at Long Beach, transported to some central Wal-Mart distribution point, transported to my local Wal-Mart, unpacked, shelved, and sold. All at a profit to someone.

I paid $1.00. One whole dollar.

It does not matter what the product is - the process is the same. And this article is not the place to discuss the moral or political issues of so much work for so little compensation.

The point here is you cannot compete with this process. You will never win.

If you want to make money from home doing crafts, you need to have God-given artistic talent and create your own items. If God gave you other abilities, you need to find some other way to make money.

If you need to work out of your home, you need to associate yourself with someone reliable. I recommend Ignotius. Ignotius has hundreds of clients, growing by the day, that need data entry, telephone answering services, general writing, virtual assistants and clerical work done. This is the same type of work done in any business office. When they outsource their work to you, their clients get great service, and you get to make money while working where you are most comfortable - from your home.

Home-Biz-Help BizOpp Review: Cash This Check and Keep The Change

There is a scam going around the internet - and spilling over into snail mail as well. It has been going on for years, but only recently has it been getting much attention, probably because it seems to be becoming more common.



It comes in almost infinite varieties, but when you strip away all of the details, you are left with the basics, which never change.



Someone offers to send you a check, usually for way more than fair compensation for what ever goods or services you have contracted to provide. They have some cock-and-bull story as to why but always always always you are to deposit the check and send them the difference.



The check is never good, and you are on the hook for the entire bogus amount. Because this does not get discovered until you have already sent off the check to these perpetrators, you are responsible for reimbursing your bank for the entire amount. You may also be subject to criminal charges for money laundering.



Yup. You are the victim and you are charged as a criminal.



These "offers" turn up on Craigslist, as mystery shopping jobs, as used vehicle purchasers, as almost anything.



Please do not fall for this scam. If you have received such an offer, show it to your bank manager. Perhaps they can work with the FBI and set up a sting operation to catch the perpetrator. I have heard of it happening.

Other that that,

Under no circumstances, for any reason, cash one of these
checks.

If you do, as I said above, you are responsible and liable to pay back to money to the bank.

Home-Biz-Help BizOpp Review: Project Payday

For some time now I have been concerned about the ethics of "Project Payday."

From information posted in various forums, it seems that what participants in Project Payday do is sign up for offers from credit card companies and others who pay the signer a certain dollar amount just for signing up. The company that is paying is doing so in hopes of gaining a new customer.

The Project Payday member has no intention of becoming a new customer: They just take the money and run - by immediately opting out as soon as they get the money.

In other words, instead of being scammed, Project Payday members are doing the scamming!

While some have posted that this sort of thing is just a cost of doing business, from a "Golden Rule" perspective, it certainly isn't ethical and I can't even believe it is legal!

It appears the lack of ethics flows both ways. Here is a link to a post by someone who thought she was doing everything according to the instructions she received, and instead would up with hundreds of dollars on her credit card without being paid anything.

Project Payday sounds like very bad news. My recommendation is to avoid Project Payday as if it were the bubonic plague!
