Don't fall for ads mentioning they will give you a list
of companies looking for typists, word processors, or
secretaries to work from home.
The
advertisement implies that the company will provide
you with typing jobs. These listings are usually scams.
When you get the package, you'll find out that the company
does NOT provide typing jobs. All you'll get is a listing
of companies with addresses and phone numbers in your
state. Most of the companies don't even know they are
listed on those lists.
The problem
-
The advertising implies that the company will provide you with typing
jobs but they don't.
-
The company claims that the companies on the list have typing jobs
available but they don't. The advertising is misleading
because the company does not provide you with typing
work as the advertisement implies.
-
You have to contact those companies and solicit typing work.
-
The company providing the list has no connection to
the companies listed on the list.
-
If you'll contact the companies on the list, you'll find that they
don't know anything about this list and they are not
hiring typists. There are no guarantees that
the contacted company needs typing services from outside
contractors like you.
-
The list covers the whole state. Most of the typing work will come
from companies within a 5 mile radius. You don't want
to target your whole state.
Here are
better ways to finding typing work
-
You can find better prospects for typing work in your local Yellow
Pages. If you compile your own listing, you can target
it to those kinds of businesses you want to work with.
-
Most libraries will provide you with a current, computerized database
you can target by industry, income, number of employees,
and other criteria.
-
The package doesn't provide a name, address, or phone number making
it difficult to get a refund.
Instead of spending your money on a scam like this,
get information about starting a typing business that
will really help you.
Here's
the good news. You CAN make $500 a week typing at home.
I you have typing skills, the best way to get typing
jobs from home is by starting a secretarial business.
A secretarial service is a legitimate business. I've
ran my own secretarial business for 12 years and have
many friends who operate their secretarial business
from home. Some have been providing their secretarial
services for over 20 years.
We
do NOT provide typing work. We do NOT provide lists
of companies who have typing work.
