Work from Home – Internet based work – what do they do?

Harmon asked:


I have asked this question twice now and gotten nothing but advertisements, and people speaking about how great their experience is with this or that company – ya, they all sound like the bait in a con job to me.

So my question still stands – if I start working for one of these companies (one that is not a con/scam) and discover that I am doing- what?

Some say marketing, some say mass marketing, but none say of what. Which tells me right off that they are a scam looking for mooks to get sucked in.

Also- interestingly, none of the companies sited give contact information until after they have SS# (I make one up just to get in to look around), name, and other stuff.

These sites also tack serious spyware into their sites, so I know they are scams and cons for ID theft.

Problem is that there are real sites out there, that really hire people to do things on line, and I would like to know more, but none are forth coming with that information.

What do work from home people do?
To those of you that gave an answer- thank you.

To those of you that tried to sell some site- “I made just $200 in the first two days- here’s how!” Thank you, but you did not answer the question.

Good luck, and take care of yourselves.
