Question by TobasscoSplash: What are some work at home opportunities that are not network marketing?
I like some network marketing products such as Monavie but honestly, I feel icky and nasty when I think of the network marketing lifestyle.

Some opportunities that are real.
Starting your own accounting for small businesses. I used to work for a radio station that would send the bookkeeping records to the home of a CPA.
Typing and proofing.
IF you live in a populated area, and there are enough writers, you can transcribe voice to print or correct writing. This is a difficult job to find customers. I tried it. Had very few clients.
Newsletters.
Some companies still outsource newsletters. Other people start their own newsletter. I looked into it and found a lot of newsletters started this way. Even Kiplinger’s Newsletter.

Here are a few scams to watch out for.
Assemble things at home.
You have to buy the materials (from them) and assemble them at home. You send in product and they buy the ones that meet the standards. The scam is, that only a few will every meet the standard. Just enough to keep you buying the parts and make them rich.
Envelope Stuffing.
The scam is that you send money to learn the way to make money stuffing envelopes is to run an ad for stuffing envelopes and ask people to send you money. The other scam is they send you a list of companies they send out mailers. All require higher volumes than a human can do or no longer hire outsiders.
Surveys.
If you send money, it is a scam. You just get a list. If you find them online, you maybe get a quarter for each survey.
