It has been a while since I have looked at any interesting books that home – based professionals or aspiring home – based professionals might find helpful. Today, I went looking for just that kind of book and I found it. The book, “I Got Scammed So You Don’t Have To : How to Find Legitimate Work at Home and Random Jobs in a Scamming Economy ”, has a very long title. Fortunately, the title of this book by author Bethany Mooradian accurately describes what you will find inside.
Ms. Mooradian has a lot of experience working at all kinds of jobs, from home based work to work outside of the home, in many different fields. She understands that whether you are looking for full time work or just a little extra income on the side, it can be hard to pick the legitimate opportunities out from the scams that have been expertly crafted to trick you into handing over your hard earned money and getting nothing in return. Her book offers plenty of ideas for legitimate income generating opportunities and gives you information that you can use to assess any “opportunity” that you might come across to see whether it is for real or a scam.
Even though the topic of home based business scams is serious, I appreciate that this book is written by someone with a good sense of humor. Information is good, but information delivered in an easy to read, funny package is even better. After reading this book, I feel like I know how to thoroughly research a company before pursuing a business relationship with them. If you are looking for home based work or looking to start a business, you may want to consider reading this book because it has a lot of great information that you can use to protect yourself from scams. As an added bonus, you may even be inspired by some of the business suggestions in the book. Either way, this book is a good tool for aspiring and current home based professionals.
