Home Based Business Search Terms

Smart Google Search Phrases
While "work at home" is a common "hook" for scammers, "this is a work at home position" is more "natural" to the phrasing used in legitimate work ads. Bottom line, there are far fewer legitimate home-based jobs than there are scams, and using the right search terms is a great way to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Bear in mind that these good terms will help to weed out the scams, but some will still slip through. Likewise, not all hits on a bad search term are scams. Use your common sense when assessing any job listing.
