There is nothing worse than sitting down with your checkbook at the end of the month and realizing that you don’t have enough to meet your basic needs.
It’s happening a lot right now: unemployment is running rampant, people are getting laid off in massive numbers, savings and investments are drying up quickly, and many people are relying on their credit cards or loans from family to cover basic necessities.
Having an extra job, or other random sources of income, could mean the difference between
constant worry and financial stability. But what do you do when you can’t distinguish between legitimate work and a clever ploy?
Bethany Mooradian, (www.WorkatHomeFAQ.com) offers over 700 ideas, resources, and legitimate companies that can help you bridge the income gap. Using her experience and knowledge in Internet marketing, she reveals the most common tricks of scammers. She empowers you with the resources to research companies and job offers so you’re completely prepared to enter the “work at home” world and will never have to ask, “Is this job for real?"
The Work at Home Training Program covers everything you need to know to get started:
Techniques of Scammers and Common Scams: A behind-the-scenes look at Internet marketing essential for identifying the methods and tricks of scammers.
Making Money: Divided into sections based on skills and interests, learn how to earn extra income whether you’re an artist, educator, techie, multi-lingual, or even if you just want some flexible income in your spare time.
Get a Flexible Job: For those looking for a more traditional job, but with flexible hours or working from home. You’ll learn how to get started and the companies that hire.
Creating a Business: We can no longer trust our employers to take care of us! Now non-entrepreneurs can develop a new mindset and open their hearts to the joy of small business ownership.

A good resource for people who would like to earn some extra money while being at home. Good tips to spot the scammers from the legitimate offers. While all the information can be easily found online, it is convenient to have all that information compiled into one book. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

In this book I was hoping for some good ideas on work I could get on the side. I work from home full time but I don't think I will have time to do the other idea suggested in this book. I was hoping for more from this book. She did have some good ideas on how to spot a scam and avoid them. I was still disappointed because I was hoping for some part time ideas I could do on my off hours to just work something that was different. I will look into her idea from this book and give an update if I find out something different. *This book was given to me for free at my request from NetGalley and I provided this voluntary review.*

This title really caught my eye as my husband and I have been looking for something he could do for some extra money online. One of my fears is that we get caught up in some online scam, so this book seemed like such a resource for us to help us navigate through the online jobs market and stay away from any potential online trap.
The book is set up in an easy to follow format that we can reference down the road as well. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in pursuing a job online. This book is loaded with information!
Thank you to Books Go Social and NetGalley for this e-copy in exchange for my honest review, my opinions are my own.

As someone that's looking into becoming a work at home woman, I found this book very useful.
Navigating the internet looking for job offers that are not scams and ways to keep everything right is complicated so having the chance to read this book was fantastic. I admit some of the information was already known to me because I have been researching about this topic (working from/at home) for a little while but still I stand that is pretty good information to have.
I don't know if someone that has worked from home before would get that much value out of this book, besides the part about how to spot a scam but for an absolute beginner like myself, it was a great well of information. I'm sure I'll keep this book at hand on my e-reader just to check from time to time and refresh what the author said about the topic.
Some of the links she (the author) provides in the book are not completely updated but she mentions this at the beginning of the book too. At least it's a start and if you're interested you look for more yourself.

“The Work at Home Training Program” by Bethany Mooradian is an excellent guide for those new to the workforce or those who are just tired of “working for the man” and wants to branch out on their own. Who is that “man” anyway? Gained from her years of experience working for herself (though in her introduction she actually calls it “the random job lifestyle”), the wealth of information provided in this book is priceless to someone just beginning their own entrepreneurial journey.
We’ve all seen the ads, “Work from Home – Make a Bazillion Dollars” (or something along those lines), and quite honestly the lure is strong enough to make one forget the all-important adage, “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is…” Mooradian covers this type of hype in Part I: Techniques of Scammers and Common Scams. This section alone is worth buying the book. I learned so much and can’t wait to go and check some of these items out for myself, such as learning how to break down a domain name to test its validity. Especially interesting to me was the chapter on common job-related scams, such as envelope stuffing. In the examples Mooradian discusses, she urges the reader to put themselves in the employer’s place and use logic to determine whether or not something is a scam. In the case of envelope stuffing, she notes, “Why would anyone pay anyone $1 to $4 per envelope just to stuff it?” (p. 57). It doesn’t make sense. But it does makes sense to research anything that doesn’t quite sound legitimate.
In Part II: Making Money, Mooradian discusses quick ways to make some fast cash along with some specific ideas on how to utilize your creative skills to score some freelance work. There are so many options out there – use your gifts! Part III: Flexible Jobs at Home or On-site, and Part IV: The Business of Business, offers invaluable information on finding a company to work for, how to become a successful “home-based” employee, the ins and outs of being a contract employee, income taxes, health insurance, you name it, it’s covered in these sections.
While it’s hard to say one section is better than another, the grand prize is in Part V: Resources. Now, let me make sure you understand up front: there are loads of resources listed throughout the book – I’ve never seen such detailed information in a reference of this type. Wrapping things up in a tidy reference section, the number of specific websites she notes in the resource section is mind-boggling. So. Much. Information!
I highly recommend “The Work at Home Training Program” by Bethany Mooradian. She has a clear, concise writing style that is easy to comprehend and follow, and is written in plain English, not some jargon you need a PhD to understand. This is likely a book you will refer to often. One that will be dog-eared and well-used over the years.

I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Excellent resource for anyone wanting to work from home and/or exploring additional revenue streams for themselves. There is information on how to find and avoid scams, vet sources, and how to determine the proper opportunities for your situation. Some of the information might seem like common sense, but it certainly is there for a reason and do not ignore the advice. Virtually any work from home technique you might want to try, you can find advice and guidance to assist you on your journey.

This is an outstanding book for the value of its suggestions...not just a book full of links to various shady job opportunities. Well explained and full of information for anyone wanting to join the work force at home. Recommended.

I have been working from home with a company for almost a year and I love it. But I have always wanted to know how I could use my Medical Billing and Coding certificate to work from home as well. This book has given me lots of insights on how to get started with it. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to work from home. Has a lot of great information for all those who inquire about it.

I got this book because my partner is a Realtor/Broker and things have been slow of late. Hehas been looking into affiliate programs. I like the way she explains all of the online technical jargon. I did not realize just how many "Scamming" opportunities there are out there!
I particularly appreciated the extensive list of resources the author provided throughout. All aspects of running a successful business are well laid out in this easy to comprehend "how-to" book.
This would be a great go to book for anyone striking out on there own for the first time.
Thank you to Netgalley & BooksGoSocial for there ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
