subject: How To Search For A Real Google Home Income Opportunity [print this page] When I was in high school or college and I needed extra money, I would baby-sit. Or tutor one of my friends if they would pay my way into the movies on Saturday night. Or I would tell my parents that I would clean out the attic, wash the cars, mow the lawn - extra cash always seemed within my reach if I were just willing to work a little.
But I've realized that once you are an "adult," those options seem to melt away. I can no longer offer to "help" my friends and family in exchange for money. Now I'm expected to help my mother re-tile her bathroom, or to give up my Saturday to help my friend move to a new apartment. And I smile when I'm offered pizza and drinks, when the truth is I could probably use that twenty bucks in my pocket more than my stomach.
So as an adult, you're forced to explore other options. These days "other options" is starting to mean "work from home." This is an especially appealing idea if you have children. The problem is - how do you find these jobs?
Many people go about looking for these jobs the same way you would try to find an affordable Italian restaurant on Friday night - they turn to Google. "Home Income" you type, and wow - a million options right at your fingertips. The problem is these "opportunities" are mostly scams.
Most of these products or programs that pop up will cost money, and a few of them will be worth it. But many, many others will not. You may as well have typed into Google "Home Income Scams," because that is what you will get. There's no need to get discouraged, however. There are real, legitimate work at home jobs available, and you can use Google to find them. You just need to know what terms to search.
One of the most widely searched terms is "work from home data entry." This is because data entry is indeed a job you can easily do at home. The problem is that many of the aforementioned scam artists know that you will search that term and they are already using it to find you - or rather, to let you find them.
One of easiest ways to separate the good work from home data entry job sites from the bad ones is simply to see if you have to pay for job listings. If you do, leave. A legitimate company would never force you to pay for a job listing or to fill out an application, especially since there is no guarantee that you will then receive that job.
The truth is that since so many people have been scammed by fake "home income" opportunities, a lot of people have recently come out and worked hard to get attention for the real companies that are hiring. ABC News recently did a report that is still up on their website covering honest work at home opportunities, as did Yahoo. Other news sources will not be far behind.
So now that we're "adults" the old ways of making extra money no longer apply. But that doesn't mean we're out of luck. It just means we need to be smarter and a little more careful, since the money is no longer coming from our parents.
