Q: Are there any legitimate work from home jobs out there?
I'm a stay at home mom that is unable to work and care for my children. However, we need the extra money. Are there any work at home jobs that are LEGITIMATE? I've searched the Internet and keep finding scam after scam. They all want you to purchase something or another. Does anyone know of anything that is for REAL and DOES NOT COST, that they can share with me?

Q: Does anyone know of good customer service rep jobs, or work at home jobs?
I am looking for quality customer service or any work-at-home jobs. I do not want to pay to get the information. Why should you pay for a job? I do not want any gimmicks or frauds. I know I am asking a lot. Yet, there must be good companies looking for employees to do customer service reps who can work at home. Again, I am not looking for something that I have to purchase to buy a list or anything. Thanks.

A: You can directly apply to the companies like Alpine Access and Work At Home Agent. Please refer the sources to get the list of companies hiring home workers. Current vacancies are also listed there.

Q: Are there any good work from home jobs?
I am a stay at home mother and am looking for extra income to help with bills. I have four kids so getting a job and putting them in day care would not be helpful. Are there any good work from home jobs that are not scams? Please only reply if you have experience or know someone that has experience from working from home. I am sick of looking at websites that promise money but are just a scam.

A: I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of top 10 work at home scams! I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home. Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average. After trying 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare Company. This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year and a half now and I make over $4500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $2500. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well. The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” “American Medical Review” and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazine”. Even “60 Minutes” did a big special on this home based business. Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable. You can research the company at www.workathomeplus.net TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS: 10. Craft Assembly 9. Medical Billing 8. Email/Rebate Processing 7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!" 6. "Just pay for and take this class first” Then we’ll give or find you a job! 5. Typing At Home / Data Entry 4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!" 3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM) 2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast") 1. Envelope Stuffing Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce. As for those of you who say…..”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it is a true honest home business you need to expect to pay. Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart. If you want to learn about REAL home businesses visit: workathomeplus.net www.workathomeplus.net. Good luck to you in your search. A

Q: What are the best typing- work from home jobs?
In January I'll be having a baby and my husband is in the military. I'll want to provide some sort of income while I'm at home taking care of my baby. Any advice on the work from home jobs? Possibly typing/data entry for companies?

A: Having been in your situation a little while back I looked into a LOT of programs, some of which were scams (a good many), some of which paid but not enough to make it worth your time, and a very few that actually worked. Be wary of programs that want you to pay a large start-up fee. Read thoroughly their terms of service and make sure they are going to be offering you a service worth that fee. In resources I will list a few of the companies that I've found to actually pay worth the time I put into them, they are paying for reading e-mails (or clicking through at least). Keep in mind that not every program will work for you and be selective. Track the results you get from each program. Good luck finding the one(s) that works best for you!

Q: Is there any legitimate work from home jobs and where are they?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find a legitimate work from home jobs. i've done some research and it look very slim.

A: I do make a living at home but it was a gradual process over about 5 years, not a quick thing for me. I started by taking something I liked, like going to garage sales. Then I turned around and sold the stuff on ebay. I concentrated on kids things (toys, clothing etc). Then I started sewing and selling my custom made children's clothing on ebay. I was always looking for new fabric that others did have to make my clothing stand out. From that, I started an on-line retail fabric website. I just sold it after only 2 years to start a wholesale fabric business run entirely from home. Next year I plan on producing my very own fabric designs. What a journey! My advice, find your passion and see what kind of things you can do to make money with it. I know a few women that have boutique clothing lines, photography businesses, websites etc that all started on ebay. I think it is a good resource as it doesn't require a ton of start-up and you can do it anytime of day (like when kids are a school or when they are asleep). A great way to start on ebay is to go to their community boards and see what interests you. Read some of the past discussions. The ebay members give lots of great advice on what to sell, when to sell etc. Good luck!
