I have worked from home for 10 years now. I have also had up to 4 staff working there with me. I make very sure that I check credentials - talk to people who have used the company or the potential staff member. Check references, ask questions and look for what is not being said, as much as what is!! I have built up long working relationships with my suppliers, and I treat them well. I acknowledge good service, I give them loyalty and praise, and I pay them on time!

JP, I don't think there's an easy answer. You have to do your own due diligence.

Many people start up their own businesses completely unrelated to larger organisations such as multi-level or direct marketing methods using home-based people. That way may be slower for rewards, but the learnings are huge - a cheap busines degree, if you like!

I've heard working at home can be great, but have also heard there are a lot of disreputable companies out there. How can I be reasonably sure to avoid the ripoffs? Thanx, JP
