I ran across an ad in the job finder looking for ppl to mail brochures, customer service and home assembly. Anyone ever try this crap out?? They promise $5 per envelope once its processed. Im thinking about coughing up the $35 dollar charge for “equipment” or whatever. I have been looking for some extra cash but Im iffy because it sounds too good to be true. I figure if it is a scam, Im only out $35. ---

I can’t believe you would even ask. you can find people to work for $5 an hour, so do you think they’re going to pay you $5 for 30 seconds worth of work? ---

I had hope lol. My buddy mentioned this idea last night and its now stuck in my head. I know its too good to be cheap and/or there are some crazy fees or something that would bring down that $5 to like 5 cents. I had to ask haha ---

There are things like this out there. I used to create ebay listings for a company… I made $1 per listing and would do 300-500 per week. This amounted to about 5 hours of work give or take. I just made a template that I could sump the info into and voila, PAY. This job only lasted for about 6 months as he figured out that I automated the process and brought it back in house and paid some guy low hourly wages to do it.
