Is a Rebate Affiliate Marketer a legit work at home job? And how about medical transcription?

[Elizabeth Y]

Is a Rebate Affiliate Marketer legit? Also if this is not legit can anyone give me some legit work at home jobs that won't take me months of training to learn? And if not I would like to go through medical transcriptioning and would like to know a good legit website to go through to get my degree? And one last thing, does anyone know of any jobs on-line that do not charge you to start them up that isn't a loopy survey site that takes you in circles? Please Help?

There are no shortcuts. Most of the answers I just read are vultures waiting for new blood. These sites do not provide a solid regular income. Most people do NOT make a regular paycheck.

As to medical transcription, ask yourself how good a typist you are? How good are your language skills, how are you at spelling? And most important, how interested are you in taking a number of medical course to become familiar with the lexicon of medicine?

If the above are all positive, then find an accredited school that you can afford.

The Association for Healthcare Document Integrity is the association that oversees trascriptionists. Here is their link and recommended schools

And no rebate affiliate marketer is not a legitimate job. Bet they are asking for money upfront for you to get into that arent they?

That definately wreaks of a scam :) Just about all work at home jobs ask for money upfront or want personal info which can put one at risk for identity theft: http://www.ftc.gov and can click on that term.

I'm not sure that there are too many jobs for the transcriptionist especially work at home jobs. If still interested in training, please consider the more affordable county vo-tech school or community college as long as it's accredited within the industry.

General career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'medical transcriptionists' or such.

Hey Elizabeth,

I've never heard of a "rebate" affiliate marketer. I do affiliate marketing full time online, though. I drive traffic to my sites via PPC (Pay Per Click) like google adwords, yahoo search marketing, msn adcenter, etc. Last month I made about $20,000. Actually, July was my first month that I got serious about it. If you don't have money to spend via PPC - you can get free traffic doing things like article marketing, search engine optimization, video traffic - etc.

If you're not interested in owning your own business like that, and would rather work at home for someone else - you can find a lot of at-home call center jobs. Basically you apply just like you would a normal job, and then if hired, you buy a headset, and take phone calls for companies that have customers calling in asking for their gift card balance, or something small like that. Probably around $9 - $15 per hour depending on which company you go with.

Feel free to contact me with any other questions you might have. Regardless - good luck and hope you find something you enjoy and make money from!

Hi! You should never pay anyone to have a JOB from home. If someone is offering employment and asking for money then it is a scam. However, a HOME BUSINESS is different. If you and I decided to open up our own coffee shop then there would be start up costs right? It's the same for home businesses. You work for yourself and the income potential is unlimited. Not to mention the great people you will meet and the fun you will have along the way. You have to be sure you choose something you are passionate about. You can market makeup, candles, health products, etc. I chose to help people save money on their health care. There are many many people that need medical, vision, or dental benefits. 56 million Americans do not have coverage. Even more need a dental plan.

If you would like to own your own business helping people save money on health care, please listen to a 15 minute recorded overview by calling 712-432-9598. If you love what you hear..then request an interview by visiting http://www.FreedomAtHomeTeam.com/TCothren ,or call me at 1-866-400-8716.

The trouble with rebate affiliate marketing is that it is high-risk.

First of all, many of the programs I've seen tell you to do it for merchants with Clickbank. The thing they don't mention is that rebates are explicitly against Clickbank's policies. When they catch you at it you lose all your pending earnings.

Other companies may or may not allow it, but you generally have to get special permission.

The other risk is that you may pay out a rebate and then have the customer get a refund, and your affiliate commission goes away. You have to do some very careful tracking and only give rebates after the refund period. Pretty tough when people are likely to want immediate gratification.

Medical transcription can be a very good job, but you do have to pay for your own training. I did it for three years. The Andrews School, M-Tec and Career Step are generally considered to be the top 3 online schools.

As for online jobs, yes, they do exist but there's a lot of competition. As with any other job you need to consider your skills. You can do customer service if you have a very, very quiet place to work. Most such companies allow no background noise at all. Data entry is a popular option, but there are only a few legit companies, so the jobs are hard to get.

You may also want to consider general transcription. If you have some basic transcription skills already, Tigerfish has an online test you can take, then you just wait for a job to open up if you do well enough on it.

I don't have any idea about Rebate Affiliate. I do know a lot about medical transcription. I know that the MT Advantage Career Center program can be completed in 4 or 5 months IF you work on it like a full-time job. Most people take about a year to graduate or even more. You don't want "fast" training when it comes to MT and here is why- MT is a SKILL based career not just a procedure based (learning a set of guidelines and procedures). It takes time and practice to build a skill. You can get quality training and move through it quickly if you are very motivated, but most people take a year to a year and a half. Also, quality training is essential to be successful in the field.
