Site accepting applications through October 2008

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas, Sept. xx, 2008 – The popular WomensNet.net Amber Grant (http://www.womensnet.net/Amber-Grants/apply.php) is back—and for women starting small businesses, this year’s $500 grant could make all the difference.

With an application deadline of October 31st, 2008, the WomensNet.net Amber Grant helps cover start-up expenses like buying or upgrading equipment, hiring a Web site designer or advertising.

“Our primary focus is assisting women who are trying to start small home-based or online businesses,” explained Josh Prewitt, president of WomensNet.net. “No repayment is required or expected, although WomensNet.net hopes the winner will pass on the kindness by mentoring and helping others along the way.”

There are indeed some legitimate work at home opportunities that do require an investment: for example, if you choose to work with a multi-level marketing company or you want to become a party plan company representative, you will most likely need to purchase products or a demonstration kit, as well as order forms and other needed supplies.

The cost can vary greatly depending on the product line from under $100 to several hundred.

BUT any legitimate company should tell you - in writing - what’s involved in the program they are selling,including the upfront costs and compensation plan, in clear language, and give you time to make an educated, informed clear decision!
