Do people really work from home assembling products like baby clothes or electronics equipment and get paid $700 per week? According to one website, people are paid $25 for assembling one bejeweled Christmas ornament, so if you could make 4 each day, you could reach that $700 mark. The same website says you can make $150 per unit assembling a “Tooth Fairy Bag”, and you only need basic sewing and glue gun skills. Or you could earn more than $1,400 per month assembling eyeglass cases.
Unfortunately, these kinds of jobs, offering work from home jobs assembling ornaments and key chains, sound too good to be true, because they’re not true. As you read more about these jobs, you will find that that you have to buy the list of names of companies who supposedly pay such good wages for assembly work. Often, this list is for sale at a “reasonable” price of $20 or $30 dollars. The logic is that you will quickly recover the $20 dollars after you secure the job. The problem is that there really are no companies out there who pay people the high wages advertised for assembling those products.
Once you buy the book of lists, you’ll find companies that either make you pay up front for their materials and supplies in order to make the products, or that require you to pay an application fee in order for you to be enrolled into their program. Sometimes these up-front fees and expenses add up to hundreds of dollars that you have to pay before you can have the “opportunity” to earn them back.
But there’s often another catch with work from home assembling jobs. The products you assemble must pass the company’s quality control standards before you can get paid for your work. And it’s not surprising that the products you submit never pass the quality control test. So you never get paid. Sadly, there are hundreds of personal stories online in the work-at-home forums that tell the same tale: people paid hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars for the product kit they expected to be able to earn from. Instead, they’re stuck with boxes of useless materials and a credit card bill larger than they started with.
So when you see an ad online that offers work from home assembling products, click away from the site fast. It’s a good bet that it’s a scam. The only way you’ll make money from home assembling things is if you make and sell you own crafts. But that’s a home-based business, which takes a lot of planning and work, and there’s no guarantee that you will make a profit. It’s not a work from home assembly job.
