Here we offer some tips on finding the legitimate part time jobs for Moms and weeding out the scams.
1. When you do a Google search on ‘part time jobs for moms’, you’ll get almost eight million results! It just stands to reason that if most of them were legitimate opportunities, anyone could easily find work online. Now conduct the same search with the word ’scams’ preceding the original search string. You’ll get about a quarter million results. Interestingly, you’ll find companies proclaiming scam-free online job opportunities, which are little more than thinly disguised scams themselves!
Some may be in the form of a blog, with only one entry, describing how that individual lost hundreds or thousands of dollars in membership fees or kit purchases and how they are dedicated to helping you avoid the same result. The entry is often followed by several legitimate ‘gems’ they found and want to share with you. Beware of such sites, particularly when there’s little or no other content.
2. When searching out those part time jobs for Moms, you’ll find additional protection at mywot.com. This is free add-on software you can use on your browser. WOT is an acronym for ‘web of trust’. It uses a green, orange and red safety rating system to alert you to a variety of sites which may spell trouble for you, addressing issues such as scams, viruses and sites deemed ‘dangerous’ or unreliable. Great tool! Why take a chance?
3. If you find a site that looks legitimate, be sure to Google ’scams company-name’ before proceeding. Often people will post reports of their experience with a company on message boards and forums. If your chosen site comes up with some of these reports, read a few of them and then make your decision.
4. There are so many legitimate part time jobs for Moms online that are free, so if a site requires that you fork over a membership fee in order to actually see the details of any job opportunity, forget it and surf away to the next free site with listings!
5. You’ll soon discover that you can (apparently) be paid to fill out surveys. Some sites actually have the audacity to say that you can make up to $200 per survey. These usually have a mile-long list of what you’re required to do in order to ‘participate’, prior to getting paid, of course. These typically require purchases and involve a ton of spam in your email. Read the fine print! Carefully! Other scammers advertising part time jobs for Moms promise obviously ridiculous sums of money. Avoid the ‘Make $800 a day in a couple of hours’ style of offer.
