Work at Home Opportunities
October 11, 2008
The economy has affected a lot of consumers, businesses and employees. We’ve experienced a pay cut at my work. I have many co-workers who were barely making it paycheck to paycheck and now they even have to squeeze their budgets a little tighter.
I have a co-worker who showed me an ad for a WAH (Work-at-Home) Opportunity by assembling crafts. It was a company looking for people to make Angel Pins. She said she’s going to try it and maybe I should to. I told her I’d look into it.
That’s exactly what I did. I searched for this website, www.angelpin.net. One of the red flag warnings of a scam is the presentation of the website. This one seems a little believable. The pictures seem like a crafter’s website. It’s not techy or fancy. It did bother me that some of the pages are undone. And there were some misspellings as well. I’m not too sold about the site. Ultimately, they charge $19.97 for the starter kit and $29.95 for the registration.
While searching for this website, I stumbled upon New England Crafters. Their website is Magical Gift Company. This website is also not professional by any means. But it looks believable as well. They offer more than one kind of craft. They sell their starter packs for $44.95 and offer a full refund after completing your first 250 pieces.
Since I was in the mood for researching some Work at Home opportunities, I decided to search an old company I saw a few years ago, the Disciples’ Cross. Their website is
Disciple’s Cross The starter kit is $69.95 and has enough materials to make 25 crosses. They do a buy back option or you can sell the crosses yourself. People have mixed comments bout this WAH opportunity. Some people are happy about it, while others are not.
To anyone considering any of the above (or other) opportunities trying to make some extra income… Be careful before your send your money to anyone. If it sounds too good to be true (even if it might be), just follow your instinct anyway. And don’t forget, it’s still WORK so don’t think it’ll be THAT easy!
