No Scams!

This website is dedicated to offering practical help to women who want to stay at home with their families.

We promise no information will be posted on this site unless we feel it is of genuine value to our viewers. We have offered as much information free as we feel we can. We have made every effort to make the free information useful, but feel the need to support our own family, and the time required by this website is significant. We have charged the least amount we feel is appropriate, and strive to make sure that your membership fee will offer a real value. We feel that the information contained in these pages will help people save or earn many times the membership fee.

We do advertise a few of our own business opportunities here. We promise that we will be truthful about the potential and requirements of such offerings. We will only offer links to programs that we have investigated and tested, and can offer a reasonable assurance that if you work the program as suggested that it will return income worth earning. We will not accept advertisements from companies offering business opportunities unless we have tried them ourselves.

The one exception to our ad policy is Google Adwords or other third party ads. We do not control the content of the ads placed here by these services.

We screen all advertisers to make sure as best we can that they offer a genuine product that is useful. We do not allow obscene or harmful ads to be placed on our site. If we have inadvertently let something be advertised here that is contrary to this policy, we invite our viewers to email us with details so we can review the complaint.

Please remember, you still need to be vigilant and make sure that any information you use from this site makes sense. See our complete Ad Policy on the Advertise With Us page for more complete information on this topic.

Any business that cannot meet good business principles is suspect. We do not class all of them as scams, but we feel they are unsound, and not a risk worth taking. Some of the things which tip you off that something has unacceptable risk are:

1. Unsolicited email invitation to join. If you did not request it, and it comes in with a title such as "The Information You Requested", it is not legit. If it has misspelled words in the subject line, or words that use odd characters instead of letters, it is also not legit. Legitimate businesses do not have to resort to tricks.

2. Any email or website that hints at asking you to participate in anything illegal, or even close to being illegal. If they are asking you do do something dishonest, why would they be honest with you? Some long standing scams use this tactic to suck you in, and eventually they threaten you, and can actually put your life in danger.

3. Never reply to an email that asks for any personal info, financial info, credit card info, or other confidential information, which is not from someone from whom you have asked to purchase from. Do not click a link from an email to confirm any financial account, EVER...you will be redirected to a website which exists solely to collect your account info for theft. If you receive such an email, use your regular web address (not the one on the email) to go into the account and check it out. Forward the letter intact to the fraud department of the company it purports to be from. They will usually email you back if it is a scam.

4. Business Opportunity programs that require that you make minimum purchases to qualify for compensation are highly suspect. A few are legit, but they have a long standing reputation to back them up.

5. Business Opportunities offered by someone who is not willing to tell you their name, up front. If they are not willing to tell you who they are and what they sell, they are not planning to be there to back up what they sell.

6. Anything where you are expected to pay before being given a good sample of what you are buying. Be sure information is up front and available. Ask questions. If they don't answer them, don't buy.

7. Any program that is sold on a page full of programs, where the person listing it gets compensated for your participation. If it worked so well, why would the seller need the other ones?

8. Any program that requires that you sell something technical in nature, which insists that you do not need technical expertise to sell it. Web space, web hosting, web design, internet access, and other similar products are difficult to sell if you do not have technical expertise. Also, if you lack that knowlege, you may not realize that the product you have just paid a large anount to be able to sell is not worth the price you will have to pay wholesale for it when you sell it to others, and is nowhere near worth what they suggest you resell it for.

9. Any program that does not have a sound product to back up the sales figures. If the product is not worth the money, is overpriced, undersupported, or underdeveloped, then the business cannot sustain itself. The ability to resell the product is not a product in itself. Any business that gives you nothing more than the ability to resell the business is not built on a sound product.

10. There are two types of businesses to avoid. Outright scams, where they want your money, and will deliver nothing of value, and possibly put you in personal danger or finiancial risk long term, and then the less dangerous, but still risky "business opportunities" that gain some popularity, do sell some, but burn out, or have an extremely high failure rate. We try to avoid both, and to help you know ahead of time what the realistic chances are with the risky but possible options.

11. Any program that promises that you will make money without either work, or any kind of investment. Eventually you have to invest something (even if just for supplies, though not necessarily to them), and nobody makes ANYTHING without working for it. Common sense tells you that if they can make money just by putting up another website, they don't need to put your name on it and share the profits with you. And if they are making so much money from their own store, why do they need to sell it to you to make more?

Don't take just our word for it. Check it out in other sources (we do provide links to other websites with info on scams), and make sure what we are saying makes sense.
