Not just anyone can do it… after all it’s not the work at home equivalent of falling off a log. Nor is it a business that you can start right away even if you’re “cash poor”. Sure, it costs less to start up than, say, a nuclear reactor to generate electricity, but like any business, [...]

The Wilson NC WilsonDaily.com online paper documents the struggle of a small, home based computer business to avoid thousands of dollars in fees to comply with local ordinances - even though they don’t seem to apply in this case. Even worse, big “store front” businesses enjoy an exemption to the same rule.

By the time you read this, Craigslist will probably have deleted this post offering what sounds like a great work at home opportunity. These people seem to keep coming back again and again, so you may see it on other boards.

Here’s some of the information they put out, this one’s on long term strategies for Search Engine Optimization. [...]
