Hi, I am considering doing surveys for money with a company called Home Survey Workers. There is a start-up fee of $39.95 and wanted to know before I invest that if any of you have heard of them and if it is legit.

Thanks for your time.

What can I do next?

Hi A.!
I homeschool our 4 children and have been working my own busines as well as tutoring local students while attempting to drive our kids to their events etc..

Hi A.,

I am not familiar with that company and have heard there are a lot of scams out there. The only survey company I now deal with is e-rewards because the money I earn from the surveys gets dumped into my upromise account. If you are not familiar with upromise go to www.upromise.com. It doesn't cost anything and you can earn money for your kiddos college. I have been doing it for over a year and 1/2 and wish I started when my son was born. It is a way to get $ without really doing much and then the $ is put in the 529 account I have linked to my upromise account.

Good luck!

I agree with the last post, you should not pay to get work. My father-in-law did the internet surveys and when he did get paid, it wasn't much and he was at it all day. I do know of a survey company in Scottsdale that will pay for your input. The surveys are done either online, phone or at their Scottsdale location. My neighbor did one in person and was paid about $200 cash for her time and travel. I think she was there only a couple hours. I know they are wanting people from the Tucson area currently but you can alway enter your information for future surveys. Their web address is: http://www.FocusMarketResearch.com

Hi A.,
I am not familiar with the company you mention.
I also investigated the marketing focus website that
was referred in this thread and have absolutely no
clue about employment there.

There are some credible opportunities to work from home and
create an additional income. What the challenge is
for most work at home moms is their children and husband.

With out support from the whole family it is next to
impossible to work at home on the phone and internet.

Creating a daily plan of action and sticking to it is key.
Even if it is one hour in the a.m. one hour in the afternoon and one hour in the evening. Three hours a day.
It is sticking to the plan.

I have a meeting on the 3rd Saturday at the Borders bookstore
in Chandler, open to all.. It is a coaching meeting called
Employee to Entreprenuer.

Whether you want to start a day care, or cleaning business or open a store or start a internet business. I am a facilitator.

Hi there!
I am a mom to a 2.5 yr old little boy and a 2 month old baby girl!
If you are looking for a work at home business, I would love to talk to you about mine. I never really thought about starting a home business. I just did not think it was for me. I have worked for someone else my whole life. It makes me sad to think about all the firsts I missed with my son. He is growing up too fast! .So now with the one on the way - I have been blessed to be able to stay home and work. It is so worth every minute I put into this business. I am able to work when and where I choose. I have the freedom to see my son grow up , and I'm not a stranger. I can work anywhere and everywhere without losing time with my family. If you have children and family, and wish you could be with them instead of your 9 to 5 job, please contact me. I can help.

Hi A.. I have not heard of that company. But, that is not a major start up fee, so if you've researched the company through the BBB and DSA, and feel it's a good fit for you, I would go for it. I have been doing surveys for fun for a while, but it's really just for fun, not $. They'll sometimes send me free things to try, and then I'll give my opinion on them. Then, about every 2-3 months I might earn a whopping check of $10! Not too exciting.
But, I also work for Arbonne International and do earn a GREAT income. I love the products and the company, and they seriously have the best training program and compensation plan anywhere! If you're at all interested in more natural, healthy personal care products, please feel free to check out my website to learn more about Arbonne at: www.mandyolsen.myarbonne.com.

Hi A.,

All I have to say about most of the responses so far is, "Wow." I didn't know there were so many women working from home or with my same question. I have read question and responses pertaining to legitimate on-line cash producing business for an hour now, and I can say the only thing I've learned is check out the BBB...lol I'm thinking about a "processing of rebate" type of work from home business. I can tell you I signed up for a free survey taking thing that only enters me into a contest for free products. Be sure they are offering cash for surveys. Good Luck!!

Hi A. B,

Not sure if you ever found a home-based surbey job but I wanted to share with you what I do.

My husband and I were introduced to an on-line service by one of our referral sources (Dr. Sarraf). I love the service so much and use it all the time. I really belive in it and it's so simple. I originally was just a customer but then I can the opportunity to join as an employee. Why not make money at the same time I am a customer!?!?!?!

I speak passionately about it because you can actually use it instead of some of these other home-based businesses (makeup, jewelry, etc). I am turned off by those things.

Check out my ad on mamasource.com (sendoutcards.com/cmg) or go to my website to see what I am selling.

Please contact me if you are interested.

Dont waste your money. What they do is make you pay for a list of survey spots. Then you have to sign up at the different spots. If you do a search for surveys you can find them on your own for free.

I do surveys from home and get paid for them. However, I never had to pay a fee to get started.

You should look into Network Marketing, which has created more millionaires than any other industry in the world. Avon, MaryKay, Amway/Quixtar are Network Marketing companies.

You should be able to find information on the internet to find a company that fits your needs.

We're with a company called TraVerus Travel Network, which allows us to travel and discounted prices on select travel specials and we also earn 75% of the commission whenever our family and friends book travel on our site. Take a look at our travel site, www.TravelBargainsDirect.com.

Beware! I have heard bad things about these internet work from home companies that require a start up fee. I would google and do some extensive research before I sent them any money. Many of these are scams and once they get your start up money they don't send you any work.
