My oh my it has been a long time since I posted to this blog. So much has changed since January.
But one thing has not, and that is my never ending quest for new and exciting at home work.
My goal is to post information to this blog at least one time per day. If you have any questions, please contact me.
One great company to contract with is ACD Direct. This company takes in-bound calls for various organizations. The work is very easy, although the pay can be rather low. The pay rate is per minute, and there are about 4 busy times per year. This is a great side job for anyone interested in simple phone work. I must admit that the training is long, and it is unpaid- and not always conducted in the most organized manner. But the company seems to be improving, and the people who run the place are among the nicest I have ever worked with.
Check out www.acddirect.com for more information and to apply.

Post Scams Here
This is a new section I am working on dedicated to catching scammers. I am currently working on picking out telecommute job leads that are actually scams.
Check back for a list of things to look out for.
It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway...You should never have to pay anyone money in exchange for a job. Of course, there are legitimate companies that ask for money for background checks or training materials. These companies are well known in the work at home world, and it should not be a problem verifying if the company is legit or not. If you have questions, post them here and I will research for you, and help you find the answer you are looking for.
In the past hour I was on Craigslist looking at a job lead for a mystery shopping opportunity.
There was no website to verify the company information, just a gmail addy to communicate with the person who posted the ad. I e-mailed the poster, and will let you know if the company is the real deal or not. If it is... that is great ...more work for me. AND I will be sure to post the information about the company for anyone interested.
I generally do not look for job leads on Craigslist, especially telecommute jobs because I have found most ads are misleading and often ask for too much personal info. In short, I don't trust the leads I find. But this is research....and I am a nosey person, so I hope to dig up some good information and let people know what is a go and what to stear clear of.
Feel free to post your own experiences with scams or misleading ads. You may just help another telecommuter.
