I have been working on computers for quite a long time and had even tried a couple of home based businesses. None of them seemed to work for me, and I probably wouldn't be writing this blog if they did. Not so much for lack of effort but rather experience, knowledge and circumstance.
I really enjoy helping people, teaching them new things and also working on computers. So, I decided to go back to school and get a degree in Computer Network Systems. I landed a good part-time job while I was still in school, was hired on full-time after graduating but after years of dedication to this company, I (like so many others) was also part of the first wave of layoffs.
After a few months of job searching and considering a relocation, I decided to stay here and get a computer certification. It did open a few doors but then my father's cancer came back (after nearly 6 years in remission) and I cared for him until he passed away recently.
I had looked into telecommuting or starting a home based business so I could care for my father and still make an income. I am so sceptical of some of these 'business opportunities' as being scams that I just hadn't found anything that seemed to be legitimate. I'm sure some of you are reading this wondering the same thing.
After a lot of research and viewing other great blogs and forums, I decided to order the eCurrency Arbitrage training program yesterday. With today being a holiday I really don't expect it until the middle of next week. One thing I was hoping for was instant online access to get started immediately. I guess I'll have to wait a bit to start my new business. Notice that I do say business. I have no disillusions that this is going to be any sort of 'get-rich-quick' scheme but rather an investment that will require a lot of time studying, hard work and 'sweat equity'. If it didn't require those things then I would wonder if it was a scam.
My intent here is to be as honest and forthcoming as I can be about my experiences with this product (and the business as a whole), without crossing any lines and exposing any 'secrets'. And also to try to answer any questions and hear about your experiences, both good and bad.
I want to wish all of you the very best of luck in your endeavors and I hope this little blog will help you in some way. If nothing else, I hope it helps you make an educated decision on your potential investment.
PS. I do not tolerate cursing, flaming or bashing of any sort. So, if you decide to act juvenile I'll simply remove your post(s).

Hey Tim: GREAT BLOG! How long did it take you to get your information on this home business stuff? I would like to start my own business too to bring in some extra cash so I can help out with the rent. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteHiya Sarah,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, thank you so much for checking out my blog!
Over the last 10 years I've looked at (and tried) numerous business ventures, both on and offline. As it pertains to this blog, I came across this business venture a couple weeks back and, admittedly, maybe I jumped on this a little too fast, but we'll see. Before I did 'get on board', I looked at it with an open mind and a closed wallet. I wanted to view other blogs and/or forums, to see where others ran into issues. The most common problem was the return policy. It is clearly stated that you have 30 days to submit a ticket and return it. So, if it isn't for me then I will be sure to send it back well before the 30 day period. But, I fully intend to give it my best shot!
Thanks again for your question!
~Tim~
