What are some legit work at home jobs?

I am a stay at home mom of a 17 month old and having another baby next month. I cannot work due to health problems and money is getting tight. I would like to find an online job so that I can make money yet still be at home. It seems that everytime I find something that looks to be interessting, it cots money. I do not want to have to pay to make money. Any suggestions?!

Hi Heather,
Well if your not wanting to invest into having your own business, and be able to make what you want and have the opportunity to make an incredible amount of income, your going to be stuck making minimum wage. A low income making job. You won't get far in life, and after taxes are taken out of this low pay job, you will end up making less then minimum wage. That's the difference between "home jobs" and "home based business" as far as income range is concerned. If this is a sufficient amount of income for you, here is a place where you can apply for one of those ridiculous wages.

If you change your mind, and want a chance at having a real opportunity then I suggest you take a look at this blog that a friend made regarding home based business opportunities. Over half a dozen different industries listed that give the average person a real business opportunity to have from home. A lot of information on scams, BBB, what to look for when looking into the business aspect of things etc. A lot of really good information to look at. Educate yourself for the future maybe. It's an eye opener. Here's the blog:

If you have any further questions regarding working from home, having a real opportunity to make a sufficient amount of income to provide for your entire family, I suggest you contact Tiffany at kaiden4@aol.com She can help you out.
Good Luck

With one baby and one on the way, I think your best bet would be to train for a work at home career and not just a quick online job. Medical transcriptionists work at home and make great money. It does require getting quality training but it's worth it. There are some interesting articles about it and a free ebook at www.mtworkathome.com. Good luck to you!

I tried over 18 home businesses in the course of 3 years so please forgive the length of this post but you will find it very informative. Learn from my mistakes! Also make sure to read all the way to the bottom because I have included a list of the 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 18 things I work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits 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 $3500 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.

TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS:

10. Craft Assembly

This scam encourages you to assemble toys, dolls, or other craft projects at home with the promise of high per-piece rates. All you have to do is pay a fee up-front for the starter kit... which includes instructions and parts. Sounds good? Well, once you finish assembling your first batch of crafts, you'll be told by the company that they "don't meet our specifications." No matter what you won’t get paid.

9. Medical Billing

In this scam, you pay $300-$900 for everything (supposedly) you need to start your own medical billing service at home. You're promised state-of-the-art medical billing software, as well as a list of potential clients in your area.

What you're not told is that most medical clinics process their own bills, or outsource the processing to firms, not individuals. Your software may not meet their specifications, and often the lists of "potential clients" are outdated or just plain wrong.

8. Email/Rebate Processing

This is a twist on the classic "envelope stuffing scam" (see #1 below). For a low price ($50?) you can become a "highly-paid" email processor working "from the comfort of your own home."

Now... what do you suppose an email processor does? If you have visions of forwarding or editing emails, forget it. What you get for your money are instructions on spamming the same ad you responded to in newsgroups and Web forums!

7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!"

In this one, you pay a small fee for a list of companies looking for home workers just like you. The only problem is that the list is usually a generic list of companies, companies that don't take home workers, or companies that may have accepted home workers long, long ago.

6. "Just Call This 1-900 Number For More Information..."

Not much to say here. Don’t Call!

5. Typing At Home / Data Entry

Here's how it works: After sending the fee to the scammer for "more information," you receive a disk and printed information that tells you to place home typist ads and sell copies of the disk to the suckers who reply to you. Like #8, this scam tries to turn you into a scammer!

4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"

Well, this one's at least half-true. To be completely true, it should read: "Turn your computer into a money-making machine... for scammers!"

This is much the same scam as #5, above. Once you pay your money, you'll be sent instructions on how to place ads and pull in suckers to "turn their computers into money-making machines."

3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)

If you've heard of network marketing (like Amway, Mary Kay or Pampered Chef), then you know that there are legitimate MLM businesses based on agents selling products or services.

The problem arises when there is no legitimate product or service at all and it is all about finding new recruits and not only can you lose all your money, but you can be charged with fraud, too!

2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast")

They promise that all you have to do is send the email along plus some money by mail to the top names on the list, then add your name to the bottom... and one day you'll be a millionaire.

Actually, the only thing you might be one day is prosecuted for fraud. This is a classic pyramid scheme.

1. Envelope Stuffing

This is THE classic work-at-home scam. It's been around since the U.S. Depression of the 1920s and 1930s, and it's moved onto the Internet like a cockroach you just can't eliminate.

There are several variations, but here's a sample: Much like #5 and #4 above, you are promised to be paid $1-2 for every envelope you stuff. All you have to do is send money and you're guaranteed "up to 1,000 envelopes a week that you can stuff... with postage and address already affixed!"

When you send your money, you get a short manual with flyer templates you're supposed to put up around town, advertising yet another harebrained work-from-home scheme.

SO that’s the top 10.

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.

Also, don't be hung up on the BBB either. Did you know, common misconception here, that the BBB is NOT a government regulated agency? That in fact, they are local independently owned franchises where anyone, who pays the right price, can be a member in “good standing”. This is true!

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. As we talked about above there is a difference between a job and a business. You should NEVER have to pay for a job….but again…chances of finding a home job are about 3%. At any rate, 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.

visit my blog, there’s a best solution for you :
http://www.freedollarsforyou.blogspot.com

First, never ever pay to get a job. Not for registration or materials. Scams are easy to find. The real jobs aren't. You need to go to http://workathomedesk.com which is a free site that has a directory of legitimate companies that offer jobs to home workers either as direct employees or independent contractors. Depending on your skills and experience, you should be able to find several leads there. Good luck with your search!

The ones that aren't scams actually require work on your part - and if you're in need of money soon then you're likely to be sorely disappointed in any of those as well. Most of the legit opportunities out there take time to build - so if someone makes an outrageous claim of income it probably isn't true ( and those that are true sure didn't make that kind of money when they first began ).

http://my-data-entry.blogspot.com/

Time & effort required - but do your own research on what is best for you, don't take the advice of myself and others as gospel from this type of public forum.

http://freelance-data-entry.blogspot.com/

I have other ideas that may help - one of them is an online opportunity but another is one that will require a little effort to market yourself - try some data entry for local businesses, many of them don't have the time to do it in-house and will gladly pay someone else to do it. Professionals are a good place to start, lawyers, doctors, chiropractors, etc - they need their "in-house" folks doing other things rather than busy work.

Yes, there are many. Visit the website www. myfullneeds.com
Explore it , you will find many genuine opportunities. You can download its eBook titled "How to earn through Internet" also which is excellent for beginners. You will find many other useful ebooks also. All are free.

Wow, do you have your hands full. I am a single mom of a 21 month old son and I work ft with one of my businesses and at night I work my other business at home. I make my own hours because I am my boss. If you are looking for a job I can't help you but if you would like to start a home business of your own, I can. Never pay money for a job online. As for a home business you have to put something down. I started my business with $80.00. I made that back in 3 weeks. I work with a company that has been in business for 23 years are a INC500 company and is awarded for their business ethics from the BBB. NO RISK, No selling, No party's, and No inventory.

Here's one that doesn't cost money & is free (and easy, too!) It's like mySpace & all you do is interact with friends and invite your other friends to join. They pay you for that. I have a friend who's expecting her first check this month! Here's a link to see what you think:
http://www.yuwie.com/r/12987/

I see you have a lot of answers so what I have to say has probably been covered so I will keep it short:) I am a stay at home mom also! Its great! Anyway it depends on the money you need to make. If you don't need a lot and you want to spend a ton of time on your computer then try to find a internet "job" If you need a real income you need to look into businesses. I know this can be frustrating ( i went through it) but it is worth it when you find what is right for you. There usually is a start up fee but that is to be expected starting any business. Not everything is a scam. Do your research and you will find what is right for you! Email if you would like some info. I would love to help

I have been trying a few places myself their easy and simple but not get rich quick. Some of the surveys do pay but they take forever and a lot of time to get enough money to get paid. I like the pay to click and they are all free to sign up for. I am trying several different ones. I have researched a lot of sites and only signed up for a few. If you want to check out my site I will keep updating frequently and you can see which ones work but I have only signed up for ones I have found lots of good responses on. I am going to keep adding sites and updating if they are working.

Hi Heather,

You can try to apply a job as customer service at http://www.alpineaccess.com and go to carrers section.

This one you can work at home answering calls.

If you are interested helping people by answering their questions on the net and get paid, just contact me, I'll give you some list of websites, which are free to join. Don't worry I won't charge you anything. You won't get rich though, you can probably earn about $5 to $10/hour.

Good Luck

After searching the web for months looking for a way to earn cash from home without having SCAM written all over it, I finally found a number of programs that are actually paying me and COST ME ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! These are not "get rich quick schemes" but legitimate ways to earn extra cash from home without spending hours doing it. For more info, check out my blog at:

Happy Earnings!

I really like site sell. It is by no means a get rich quick and you won't make a $1000.00 a month right away, but over time and with some work it is very lucrative. But it does take work. I started my site this past January and have seen my traffic grow. I keep adding valuable informational content for people to use.

Site Sell walks me through everything step by step. From picking a niche for my website to creating the web pages.The people in the forums are so helpful and generous too. I can't say enough about how much help I have gotten from them. No one is stingy or shy about sharing information.
"The moto is pay it forward."

I was looking for a way to build a site that would help me make some extra money to help out with extra fun stuff for my kids and my husband. It has turned out to be a whole lot more!
Feel free to take a look at me site and what I did it on.
http://www.the-best-homemade-gift-ideas.com
You can build your site on whatever you know and love!
Good luck. I hope you find what you are looking for!

Have you tried blogging? I pay over a thousand a month to bloggers to blog about my company. Most make $5-$10 starting out per post. Once you are credible and get a higher PR website some bloggers make $20+ per post. I use PayperPost. Also listing a legit business opportunity I am involved with below.

I am a titanium powerseller on Ebay to give you a little background so you know I am legit and know what I am talking about. There is a new business opportunity that just started a few months ago but has been in the works for over 3 years. It works with Ebay so you know it is legit. Doesn't cost much like a lot of home businesses only $29 per month. You earn up to $35 per new customer and up to 75% in commissions from Ebay just by giving out Free software. When they use the software your Ebay affiliate ID is embedded in the software and you get the commission - 100% of it. Plus 5 more ways to make money. http://www.mymarketinggenie.com/ultimatepaintball

I see this as being one of the next big home businesses since it is one of the first that uses Ebay. Most home businesses only last a couple of years but with the backing of Ebay I don't see how anyone wouldn't join this opportunity. I am already doing well making more money than the $29 so already in profit. I am a titanium powerseller so I let everyone know about the new free software and then I get paid anytime they buy something from Ebay even if it isn't from me. Here is the free software so you can check it out: http://www.myshoppinggenie.com/ultimatepaintball
