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

Google Master Money
This appears to be a new article June 8th news article from the Miami Gazette News. I can't tell you whether it was really published or not, but I can tell you the claims in the article are not completely true.
The comments at the bottom, which I believe are all false were my first clue that something was fishy. If you look at Omar's comment and picture, obviously the Google Master Money program has something to do with Google AdSense on your web site. The problem is through out the article and comments everyone is saying I got my first check within two weeks.
As an AdSense subscriber, I know that it take 30 days to process any payment, so if you reach the $100 minimum payout in May, you are not going to receive a check until June 30. They don't just sent out checks everyday.
Google Master Money is like all the other only pay $1.00 for shipping and handling and everything else is free. What they don't tell you is that they are going start charging your credit card $73.83 per month for the information that they send you and to make it worse, the videos are not very good.
Remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. My quest for finding real opportunities to earn a living at home continues. My husband told me last night after 2 years of trying he is surprised that I have not given up. But I will continuing report what I know and hopefully save my reads money and headaches.

Work at Home Review Sites
I was on this site, it looked very professional and the writer was telling you his story about being laid off and taking care of his wife and child. Then he found a great program that anyone can do from home with only a $2.00 investment. Now is happily working at home and making more money than he did from his full time job.
It was an intriguing story to me so when I reached the bottom and it said enter your e-mail address below so I can keep you informed of my progress and tell you more about the program, I thought, what the heck, I will give it a try.
After entering my name and e-mail address, I immediately got an e-mail tell me about Google Cash, now I reviewed Google Cash last month or the month before and we all know that it is a scam it costs $70 per month not $2 is all you need.
So what lesson did I learn?
Work at Home Review sites can scam you just easily as the people running the site. Do you research and don't trust just one site. There are a lot of honest sites like this one, but there are also people out there just going for a big bucks.
