Many people think about product assembly or crafting when they start looking for work at home jobs. It sounds great, getting paid for your artistic skills.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is one of the most heavily scam-ridden areas<\/a> of the entire concept of working at home. The number of legitimate employers in this area is exceptionally low. But people keep on looking because they’re comfortable with their creative skills and may even have real talent.<\/p>\n

In general, if you want to use your crafting skills, think about starting a business selling your own products on Etsy<\/a>. Your odds of making money are probably quite a bit better.<\/p>\n

Qualifications\/Training Needed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will depend somewhat on what you are doing. In general you will need good manual dexterity and an eye for detail.<\/p>\n

Job Duties<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assemble products to the standards required by your employer. This may include sewing, gluing or other crafting skills.<\/p>\n

This is where the big catch comes in for the classic scams . Working up to the standards is essentially impossible. Since you often pay for your supplies and will only get paid when your work is accepted, it’s easy to lose money and incredibly hard to earn anything worth the time you spent.<\/p>\n

Equipment Needed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depends on what you are assembling. A sewing machine if you do sewing, for example.<\/p>\n

Where to Search for Jobs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good luck! Legitimate jobs are very, very few and far between on this one. But if you must search, don’t call it crafting. Be more specific, or search for “artisan”, “seamstress” and the like. There may still be scams, but you’ve improved your odds.<\/p>\n

Try job boards such as Craigslist<\/a> and Indeed<\/a>, but be aware of the standard signs of a scam. Finding this kind of work takes a great deal of caution and skepticism so that you do not merely fall for one scam or another.<\/p>\n

Related Scams<\/strong><\/p>\n

The majority of positions in this field have the potential to be a scam<\/a>. Don’t pay to show you’re serious. Research any company you are considering contacting, especially before you send any money. A Google search on the company name plus scam should give you a good starting point; if not, start asking around and see what others can come up with for you.
