Homebased Jobs - The Risks!

There is no guarantee that you will have a stable income of $100 a month or $1,000 a month. There is always a risk that goes with homebased jobs that not all of those newbies and even the veterans know that risks do exist.

For 3 years, I have been into working for homebased jobs... I have learned a lot and have discovered the following risks:

1. Risk of not being paid - Yes, the most daunting and frustrating of all things is when you are not paid. You have worked a lot for the project or job and after delivery you will not be paid for it. This risk is something that you should have your eyes open for and have a safety net in case you will not be paid.

2. Risk of losing the job - Like any traditional job, there is always that risk that you will lose a job and therefore, a big chunk of money will be taken out of your pocket monthly.

3. Risk of being scammed - Scammers are everywhere, the Nigerian scammers or local scammers...wherever these scammers came from, one thing is for sure, they are there to get money out of you or use you for their advantage and never pay you at all.

Like in business or in any investment, the bigger money you put in the higher the risk is... but if all goes well... the bigger money you put in the bigger return of investment is. It is like gambling, just play the game and if you are a risk taker...then definitely, you will win a big pot of gold.

Are you a risk taker? Do you want to take chances? $500 is a petty amount, but if you know to play the game... you are just a step away of earning your first $1,000 and even $10,000 by just having a homebased job.
