subject: Vindale Research And Smc - Finding Legit Opportunities And Staying Away From Phonies [print this page] Just this morning, President Obama gave a press conference where he admitted that the recovery of the economy is painfully slow. I think most people - many of them going on over a year without steady employment or income - would argue that as being an understatement.
But, as in all things, the world attempts to find a balance. If brick and mortar stores, small businesses, and large corporations are no longer providing the jobs that we have long looked to for economic stability, then I guess we have to move on to other resources.
The internet is the most likely culprit for many of these people to turn to. Long ago many companies started reducing their in office staff and expanding telecommuting staff simply to cut costs. And if these types of jobs are not available, there is a whole other market of internet jobs available.
Many common and well regarded at home job opportunities are those with specialty merchandising companies and paid market research surveys. Lots of people who are currently unemployed or underemployed are interested in these potential employments but have a hard time knowing how to tell what opportunities are scams and which are real ways to make money.
A job with a specialty merchandising company, or SMC, consists of getting a membership with a SMC warehouse and making an online store where you sell products taken from this warehouse for profit. Market research surveys earn you money when you finish a survey sent to you to compile information on your specific market. These job opportunities are not outright scams. They are both honest ways to make a living online.
The key to making sure that you are not being taken advantage of - in any online job market - is to understand that you should never have to pay someone for a job. Many people out there will tell you that you should pay them for access to the best surveys, but once your check clears you will quickly find out all you receive are links to free survey companies, like Vindale Research or National Consumer Survey.
With SMC, you will see forums declaring these jobs are scams because it can be tough to really make money with them. But that does not mean it is a scam. If the company is upfront about what it takes to actually make profits, the SMC is not really trying to pull one over on you.
So take your time. Review SMC companies and see which one makes you feel most comfortable, and when it comes to surveys, bypass Jennifer Smiths personal page and head directly over to market research companies like Vindale Research or National Consumer Survey - in the end you will be happy you went straight to the source.
