The internet is like all other spheres of human endeavor where there are plenteous opportunities to earn decent living. Typically, it is not devoid of charlatans who always emerge to tarnish a particular business or industry. So, there are plenty of scams out there, as well as or even more legitimate home based online businesses. So the main challenge is how to separate the wheat from the chaff.
A good rule of the thumb for any work from home scam is: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam.
Multi-Level Marketing
Most Multi-level-Marketing organizations are scams and illegal. Only get involved if you strongly believe in the offering and the efficacy of the products offered and you are passionate about it. There are some that are actually legitimate multi-level marketing companies but they are few.
Online Businesses
This is probably the most tricky because while there are thousands, if not millions, of legitimate online businesses, there is possibly an equal amount of deceitful ones.
If you want to identify legitimate online businesses, a great place to start is the Small Business Association (SBA) registry. This is a USA based association.
To avoid scams, keep yourself updated. Scams evolve like malicious compute viruses and can be difficult to detect especially if they are run by professionals.
Find out their latest tricks by checking online resources. A good site to visit is Scam.com
