I work from home as an Independent Business Owner (IBO) with a company called Ameriplan (AP). AP been around for 20 years and will be around for another 20+ years. They arent going anywhere and probably only 1 of the few legitimate companies out there. I've been with them since December 2011 and it's been awesome. I've talked to and met a lot of great people who are with AP as well and people who are interested in working from home and even people who are interested in our benefit plans and just want to become a member.
The pay is monthly residual income and it is commission based, but if you work hard, it's so worth it! Plus we get benefits, cash bonuses, paid company vacations, get a free car once you bring in a certain amount into the company, and so much more. I looked for 7 years trying to find the right work from home opportunity, and I finally found it and loved every minute. Best part of it all, I work the hrs I want to work, no boss, I do it all online.
Many of those work from home jobs require you need quiet backgrounds, you need a PC with a wired connection, headset, etc. But with AP, you dont and that's what I like so much about it. Plus the AWESOME tax write-offs to boot! So yes, there are some legit work from home opportunities, you just have to find them. It may take awhile to find the right opportunity, and if you are looking to get rich overnight, it's not going to happen. It does take awhile to get to that financial freedom you may want, but it does happen. Many of the team members in AP have been with AP for 2 yrs and are making $25,000/yr. 1 of my upline been with AP for 9 yrs and her and her husband both are with AP, and they each make 6 figures a yr. She told me they make about $300,000 a yr combined. But they been in it for 9 yrs so they didn't get there over night.
You will hear many times don't pay to work because it's a scam. A J.O.B., yes dont pay. But when it comes to running your own business like I do with AP, there are start up cost's. And with that we get a back office, websites, etc. Every business requires start up costs of some kind weither it be online or offline. So if a company requires you to pay, check to see what you get with it and find out if it's a business or a job. I wrote this up on my about me page for my business. Maybe this will help you.
Know the difference between Work From Home Jobs and Business
Work From Home Job
•Get paid by the hour, minute, or per call.
•Most companies require you to work a set schedule, including when to take breaks, specific days off and vacation time, just like a regular outside job.
•Most of them require quiet area to work in as most companies require you to either be making or receiving calls from people.
•Must have the proper office equipment such as PC with wired Internet (no laptops and no Macs as most company software does not operate on Mac's and no wireless internet and usually need a Virus Protection Software installed), Landline phone line (no cell phones), Printer/Fax/Scan/Copier and Headset and they usually can not be done 100% online.
•Many times they require a background check that you will need to pay for and they all require an interview.
Work From Home Business
•Build a Residual Income. It will pay you for a lifetime and completely change your life. It will also bring in a decent amount of income in the process of building the lifetime residual income you want. (If you work it consistently and put in the time necessary). With in just a couple months to a few years you can be set for life and can create financial freedom. On average earn 6 figure income in 2 to 4 years.
•You work when and where you want.
•Usually do not need a quiet area to work in.
•All you ever generally really need is a computer (pc or mac) with internet access (wired or wireless) and sometimes a phone (landline or cell). Some may require additional office equipment, but not often.
Hope that helps!
I already get that sinking feeling anytime I'm on a site that gives out vague info and asks for cash which is why I came on here to see if anyone has found something legit. I know it's a tough market for the legit at home jobs and not really looking to live off the money I make (already have a full time job) just looking to supplement my vacation fund so I can go back to WDW lol Thanks again for all the info and wish me luck!
