Thanks for the really helpful article! I've had friends who work at home too due to various reasons. And it really is difficult to find decent and legit paying jobs. Most people are newbies to the idea of being able to generate income online and are easily blinded by promises of quick money that they immediately jump in the bandwagon and sign up for the program without realizing the risks. That is why before you venture into any kind of online money-making opportunity, you should research about it more. See if it's a scam or ponzi program (almost 95% are).
