When I became a mom, I started a quest for a "Work at Home" program that would allow me to stay at home. I decided to start this blog to share my experience so hopefully you can avoid the same mistakes and frustrations that I encountered. If you have a program that you would like me to buy before you do, or if you own a program that you would me to review, please e-mail me at: bytemi at gmail.com

Survey Savvy
How Does SurveySavvy Membership Work?
Out of all registered members of SurveySavvy, they target various demographic groups according to criteria established by our clients. As soon as your profile matches the criteria for a specific survey, they will invite you via email to participate.

You can then request payment by logging-in to the member's area and clicking on "View Earnings and Get Paid!" you will be paid by check which will be sent to your registered address.
There is no guarantee as to how many surveys you may receive and/or participate in. That is based on your personal profile, what our clients are looking for, and if you fit into any open quota group. There is no real average as to how many most people are invited to. The amount varies, but you may receive more based on your profile.

Moola
Moola's patented tournament model allows millions of people to attempt to win anywhere up to $10,000,000 playing exciting, nearly addictive games against one another, for free. How? Players start by receiving 1¢ from sponsors. In order to receive this penny, one may be required to read or watch an ad and then answer some kind of trivia (or "AdverTrivia") question to prove that attention has been paid.
With penny in hand, users may begin ascending the Moola Tower: The progressive level system at the heart of the tournament model. On level 1, a player will be matched in a 2-player game against another player who also has 1 penny. Players may choose from a variety of existing games, and Moola will regularly offer new titles to choose from. The winner of this game will emerge with the other's penny, for a total of 2¢, and have the opportunity to continue climbing to the next double or nothing level.
On level 2, a player will be matched in a game of choice against an opponent who also has 2¢. The winner will emerge with 4¢ and continue to climb the Moola Tower. At each new level, a player will select a game of choice and be matched against another opponent with equal financial interest, whereby the winner will emerge with twice the account balance he/she had previously. Players may choose to cash out at any time, in which case Moola will pay out real money to that player via mailed check in local currency, or save account balances and return later for continued play.
By playing double or nothing, player account balances multiply extremely quickly, producing exponential gains as high as $1000 by level 17, $10,000 by level 20, or $10,000,000 by level 30. However, players may also choose to compete on any lower levels which they can afford, thereby reducing their risk and reward. And, new players or anyone losing their entire balance at any time may start over for free, and get their first penny from Moola and/or its sponsors once again.
A note on Moola's advertising: Throughout the game play experience, players will be required to watch periodic ads and occasionally answer trivia (or "AdverTrivia") questions about the ads being watched. These ads appear before each game, and when a user receives his/her "Starting Penny." The purpose of these ads, or "AdverChallenges" are designed to assure advertisers that their messages are being watched by target audiences. This, in turn, gives advertisers greater confidence and willingness to continually sponsor the Moola tournament model, allowing users to continually vie for serious cash prizes. The result is an advertiser/audience harmony, in which advertisers enjoy certainty that their messages are not being "skipped over," and audiences, for the first time, enjoy thrilling monetary and entertainment benefits from their willingness to watch intermittent ads.

CashDirectly.com
I have seen on rebate processors many times, but this is the first time that I have seen it as e-mail processor. www.cashdirectly.com claims that can make $15 per email you process? They also state that you will receive 10 to 25 e-mails a day from them. I did my usual searching and found absolutely nothing on this company, so I figured I would make the $15.00 investment and worse case scenario I would be the first person to do the review. Guess what! This is what they do not tell you.The emails you're sending out are actually ads, people have to buy what you're offering in these ads in order for you to get paid. So instead of you making $15 for EVERY email you send out, you only make that money if someone responds to your email ad, and pays you. This means you'd probably have to send out anywhere from 50 to 100 ads or more, to get just one person who's interested and actually pays.You really have to work for that one $15 payment. If you've tried to make money online with anything, I'm sure you know how time consuming and expensive it can get placing ads. There are some free advertising methods that work OK, but for the most part in order to make money online, or anywhere, you have to spend money first.I would not invest in the program, in the long wrong you are going to work really hard and only get $15 for your effort.
My original review was a little bit off, what I receive for the $15 was a list of 300 Work at Home Firms that were willing to hire me and instructions on how to post classified ads, sell the same list of 300 firms. I post my ads where they told me too and used the words that they told me to use and nothing, I have not sold a single list, not even a curious question from a prospect.
Honestly, I stand by my original review and I will say again don't join this program, save your money. Let me put it this way, if you read an ad that said, 300 Work at Home Firms want to hire you, send $15 via paypal to wahjs @ comcast.net, would you send the money and hope that you get the list?

NetWinner.com
The first site I would like to review is NetWinner. NetWinner has two game on it the Money Wheel and Banko. You will receive 100 chances to win on the Money Wheel everyday and you will receive 10 Banko cards a day. When playing the games you could win cash or you could win points that you can later trade in for gift certificates or cash.
The site earns it money by playing commericals on the right hand side of the screen while you are playing their games. You will never be charged to play. Last Month they gave away $83,567 to their members! One of the best parts of this site, is if you refer someone to the site, you earn 10% of whatever they win (this includes points and cash). The Jackpot for both the Money Wheel and Banko is over 1 millions right now. Can you image winning 10% of that because you referred someone.
If you like playing games, give NetWinner a try by click here: Join NetWinner

CashDirectly
I do not feel that I reviewed the program unfairly, but with all the feedback that I am receiving, I feel I have to give it another try and make sure that my original thoughts and feels are/were accurate.
If I was wrong, I will give everyone an apology.
I am also in the process of reviewing a new program that I found call "they pay money". Which so far seems to be OK, but I will give you more details when my review is complete.
Stay tuned, there is more to come.

WAH Watchdog
If you are thinking, why is she advertising for a site just like hers. The answer is because I honestly believe that there is real work at home opportunities out there and whether you read about them on my site or somebody elses, I don't care, I just don't want anybody else to scammed like I have been. I want to tell the truth and give the legitimate companies an opportunity to get their programs out there.

League Bowlers can Earn at virtualtournaments.com
$300,000 estimated payout for 2006 – 2007 season
o Singles Handicap and Scratch
o Doubles Handicap and Scratch
o Use your weekly League Scores
o Brackets, Sidepots and Eliminators
What is VirtualTournaments.com?
VirtualTournaments.com is one of the most unique bowling tournaments available anywhere.
Started in September of 2001, we developed the technology to enable bowlers in the US,
Canada and US Military to compete against each other without leaving their home bowling
center.
The concept of a virtual tournament is not unique. Even the governing body of
bowling, the USBC, recognizes this type of a Tournament as a "Mail-O-Graphic" Tournament
(see Rule 302b of the USBC Tournament Rules). Years ago, "Mail-O-Graphic" type Leagues
and Tournaments would mail in their scores. The receiving party would then combine all the
information and produce the results. With the onset of the Internet, we have taken that same
concept, however, we use the Internet instead of snail mail.
Each week, bowlers from all over the US and Canada (and some overseas Military Leagues)
enter our Tournaments. They then send in their scores, and we manually verify all cash
winning entries by either calling the League Secretary or Bowling Center. In some cases, we
call both to ensure accuracy.
Visit http://www.virtualtournaments.com today to sign up.
If asked who referred you, please enter Bytemi, and send me a message maybe we can do a long distant doubles tournament together.

Paid Game Finder Online Guide!
1. Get paid money to play games that are being developed.
2. Earn $ to play games and answer simple survey questions.
3. Casinos will pay you $100 just to try out their online games.
4. Make $10 to watch ads between playing games.
OK, let me translate this for you now.
1. Sign up at a list of about 150 sites and wait to get an invitation to play a game. Make sure you act quickly when you receive the message or the spot will be filled. (Honestly, not too bad I guess, if I were to ever get an invitation, which has not happened yet!)
2. OK, this one is tricky, because the advise in the e-book states to sign up for sites the WorldGamer, where you deposit money and then compete against others for money. The advise of the author, is to sign up get a free bonus, play one game and then get out. Not exactly what I had in mind, when it says play a game and fill out a survey.
3. This is the best of all of, Casino's do not pay you to try their games, I wish they did, I would love to try new gambling games, honestly. However, what the author of this e-book is referring too, is sign up at 25 Casinos that he has listed. Then, make a deposit of $100 into your account and the casino will match that money and give you $100. Then all you have to do is play one game and then cash out. You doubled your money in seconds! It never works this way, you can't just cash out a matching deposit, trust me I have tried.
4. Ditto for number 2!
All and all, I would say that Paid Game Finder, misrepresents what they are offering and it is not worth the initial investment of $46.00.

The Online Business Systems
So what is another $9.95 for shipping to learn about a new program that is going to make me$15,000 in one month! Can you imagine live your dreams! OK, hopefully you heard the sarcasm in my voice while I wrote that. Please try and remember that if it is to good to be true, most likely it is. Here is the skinny on the program:
The Online Business Systems is a back office system used by some Herbalife distributors. Yes, we have found another Herbalife program (see my previous post about 5crazyfox, also a herbalife program).
After you pay your $9.95 for shipping and handling, you will be asked to buy a "decision kit" for $38 (yes, I was willing to make that investment too, God only knows why). Then you will be asked to spend $299, for an "international business package" (IBP) and apparently, if I had been willing to go that far, I would have been asked to spend $2,000 to accumulate "Value Points" to become a "supervisor".
Doesn't that all sound fun? OK, all joking aside, if you really want to be in Herbalife, do it, but save yourself the money and stay away from Online Business Systems. Go to www.herbalife.com and click on business opportunities at the top of the page. You can learn all about becoming a distributor and the way you can earn income.

How Do I Make Money Taking Surveys on the Internet
1. Join as many sites as you can, the more invitations you receive the more the you will be able to earn.
2. Make sure that you fill out all profile information that is requested. Survey companies use these profiles to match you to surveys.
3. Be honest, don't try to fake your way through a survey, these companies are giving you a voice to help shape new products and services, take it seriously.
I use a program call RoboForm to help me register at survey sites. Basically it fills out standard information, like name, address telephone number, how many kids, stuff like that. These are all really important pieces of information and if you want to have an unlimited supply of invitations.
Myself personally I receive over 50 invitations a day. I scan through, find the ones that interest me or have the best payout and those are the ones I complete. Don't feel that just because you got an invitation that you need to complete the survey.
Also, don't shy away from sites that offer a sweepstakes entry instead of a payout. With the way the sweepstakes rules are written, you have a very good chance of winning.
