Work from home stuffing envelopes and make thousands monthly? Yeah, right! I’m sure you’ve heard this hundreds if not thousands of times if you’ve spent anytime online searching for a work at home job.
But what if I told you that I know someone who was able to work from home stuffing envelopes and made pretty decent money doing it? Yeah, I know…you still believe me. To which I would say I don’t blame you. I’ve always been skeptical of these schemes and so should you. But this one is different and I’ll explain why in a minute.
But first, never ever fall for the typical work from home stuffing envelopes scams out there. Here’s how they work in a nutshell. You send them money for the supplies, you stuff envelopes with a letter that markets the same thing you are doing to other innocent victims, apply the provided address labels and mail them out. And get paid to market the same thing. It’s a pyramid scheme in disguise. Don’t fall for it. Never give your hard earned money for these types of so-called “real work from home opportunities”. There are better things you can be spending your time, and money, on.
Now here’s the story I was leading into which involves a distant relative I know. She always would come up with all these neat jobs that she would do from home that would help make ends meet. Appointment setting, and among other things, she started to work from home stuffing envelopes.
I never will forget the day I found out about this. How in the world was she making money decent money stuffing envelopes? So I asked. She said she found a job listing on CraigsList.org (a great site to find real telecommuting jobs by the way) where she found a local lawyer wanting someone to work from home stuffing envelopes!
Every weekend she would get a list of addresses and information to put into envelopes and send out on behalf of this attorney for a few hundred dollars a weekend. Do what? while it’s not $6,000 per month like some of these schemes tout it was still over a grand per month. I had to learn more.
She said the lawyer required all the addresses on the stuffed envelopes to be handwritten and mailed out. Then it made all the sense in the world to me. Who wouldn’t open a letter with a handwritten address from an attorney?! This lawyer was just a savvy marketer and I’m sure regardless of what she was offering those pieces of mail got opened rather than tossed in the old circular filing bin.
All I have to say is kudos to that lawyer for such an ingenious marketing idea and congrats to my relative for landing a legitimate job where she could work from home stuffing envelopes!
