I am a stay at home mom, and recently I decided to try to find a way to make some money from home in order to try to alleviate some of the financial stress in my household. Now a days, living off of one income, raising a family, paying the bills and the mortgage is no easy task.

I have researched hundreds of work at home offers and I have learned something very quickly. Out of the thousands of offers out there, about 95% of them are scams, plain and simple. The offer lots of benefits but never come through on them.

These people expect you to pay anything from ten dollars and up to sign up with their program and an additional ten to twenty dollars to upgrade your membership and more fees on top of that for any supplies, materials etc, that they say you will need to get started.

Virtually non of these companies have contact phone numbers and almost none of them are BBB certified. I have been scammed twice in the last two years that I have been searching around for work from home options.

Neither time was my money refunded and the companies that scammed me virtually disappeared overnight, with my money. More often than not these work at home gigs cost you more money than they will ever make you.

The survey companies that I have joined rarely have surveys that pay more than a few cents per survey if anything, most times they just enter you in for a prize drawing that is harder to win than the lottery.

Half of the companies say that they have 100s of surveys daily, what they don't tell you is that you won't qualify for even one third of them if any. So unfortunately I have to say that no you cannot make enough money to pay your bills from these work at home gigs, not unless you have the money to invest without caring if you loose your money or not. Personally I don't.
