Work at Home Businesses: Envelope Stuffing

Most people willing to start a work at home business do at least one of two major mistakes. First, they sign a contract with scammers who promise them excellent work opportunity only to cheat them out of their money and/or making them work free of charge. This is much more common than you may think! However, even if one avoids scammers, there is also another pitfall - a business which does not bring regular profits home. Unless you are able to start a business which brings regular, stable profit, working at home may become dangerous to your family finances. Why do we discuss those problems in the article about envelope stuffing? Read on and you'll soon find it out.

What you will be paid for - Do not believe in miracles. If you find an ad claiming that you can get $2 per each envelope you stuff (and you can easily stuff 20-30 envelopes per hour), be sure that there is a catch. I mean, what would be the point of going to college or working for years to become a senior manager in a corporation if one could get an easy and relaxing job for $40-$60 per hour? Most usually, such offers include two catches. First, they require a high upfront payment for the stuffing equipment. Then, you learn only too late that you are going to get paid $2 per envelope only if the person who received the letter actually converts. If he simply throws away the ad you prepared, you get nothing. To make long story short, you can get around $4 per hour maximum - and only if you are lucky and send interesting ad letters. You can easily work for days without receiving a single dollar. This is always written in small print in the agreement so you won't notice it only when it is too late.

Openness - Any legitimate business which wants to outsource envelope stuffing will tell you exactly who they are and what they do. While they may keep some details secret, they tell you exactly how much you may earn (exactly), and what it takes to actually do it right. If they fail to do so, and that's the case with 99% of envelope stuffing opportunities, it means that their offer is trash. Especially if you are asked to buy their starting kit in order to learn more, turn back and walk away. You are only a few steps from losing a few hundred dollars for nothing.

Support - If a company hires you to do some job, they are interested in making sure that you do it right. You can always contact businesses you work for in case you need any clarification or additional information. In case of envelope stuffing, it is practically impossible to contact anyone. The numbers they give you are either disconnected or there is only an answering machine. Of course, it is done to discourage as many of you as possible from contacting a company. They rarely have any real envelopes to stuff anyway.

To put it bluntly: you'd have to be an idiot or very, very nave to believe in envelope stuffing ads. First, you will be asked to pay them for starting it. Then you will have to work for them for free. Does not sound great, doesn't it?
