Assembly Work at Home

In my opinion, the majority of assembly work at home opportunities are outright rip-offs and scams. From my own business experience in the software industry, I know quite a bit about reducing labor costs. It's a FACT that having people assemble products at home in the UNITED STATES is usually not cost-effective. Unless you cheat and don't pay them for all their work.

Why do you think all the big companies in the world (like Nike) have their products manufactured in countries like China, The Philippines, India, Equador, Mexico etc.?? Because they can pay dirt poor people $5-10 PER DAY to do assembly work. Why aren't the "assemble products at home" companies doing the same thing?? Why would they pay you $75 or $100 per day when they realistically could pay $5...Kinda makes you go "hmmmmmmm." Here's how it usually works...

When I first started investigating business opportunities, I purchased a product assembly catalog, which was basically a list sold in opportunity magazines which contains hundreds of companies that supposedly pay people to work at home. Their trick is that they "reject" the majority of the little "do-dads" or whatever you are assembling for them. They might only pay for the assembly of THE 25% that had PASSED THEIR STRINGENT QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTIONS, even though they salvage and use the products that supposedly failed the inspection.

It should be duly noted however that there are some "legitimate" work at home" opportunities out there, but you typically won't find them in business opportunity magazines and you certainly won't become wealthy or financially independent. You'll usually find them in your local newspaper's "employment section" or from an employment service or agency.

One example that comes to mind is "press clipping". There are a hundred or so "press clipping agencies" around the world that will pay stay at home moms and others wishing to work at home, to read newspapers and clip out specific articles. The clipping agencies then sell the newspaper article clippings to corporations so that they can track and analyze what's "said about them" by the media (press).

In conclusion, you will want to be very careful and avoid most so-called "work at home" or "assembling products" opportunities. It's not worth the frustration and the trouble and you probably won't make much money either.

There are much SMARTER ways to make a great income by working from home...
