In my opinion, the best and most legal work from home schemes come from yourself. If you can build up a business and manufacture a product that you sell directly to your audience, then you know that you are probably working safely and enjoying it.
But the problem is that no everyone has a product to hand that they can readily sell. Some people want to get going working almost immediately and start earning tomorrow, with a fat pay cheque arriving into the bank next week.
That is the problem, this dream almost certainly does not exist. Open any of these offers of employment that you see that involve cash transfers and you are opening yourself to being exposed to very illegal money laundering schemes. Here, it should be easy to spot it is an illegal scam – the person offering you the job has no idea who you are, where you are from or your history, yet they are willing to offer you a tidy sum and to trust you with their money. The only reason they can do that is that they are desperate and illegal.
There are also a lot of not necessarily illegal, but at least immoral schemes on offer. These offer to sell you an idea which you then use to make money. Maybe home typing. But again, although not illegal, they are very immoral as they are not really selling you a product.
So how can you identify a suitable opportunity? Well, for a start, if they make fantastic offers and trust you without knowing you, or if they are wanting cash up front to get you started, they are probably a scheme that you should instead steer clear of.
And to work legally from home does not just entail finding a suitable opportunity. You also have to stick to rules and regulations. For this, you must keep suitable records and file tax returns with the relevant authorities. Whilst we are talking about legal home working, this should not be missed.
But it does also give us a good clue for finding legal opportunities. If the so called job is legal, you will be happy to tell the authorities what it is you are doing to earn that money.
The best way to find a legal opportunity is to ignore offers that come to you and to go out seeking the work yourself. Accept that almost no genuine offer will provide a quick and easy return, unless you have some fantastic unique skill that you can use. Even something as simple as blogging can take a few months to set up correctly before you can get yourself into the position of earning an income.
So, ignore the fast, easy cash routes and track down something that takes honest work and you should be safe.
