I could make a fortune working from home if there really was an answer to that question!\n\nMost companies that hire telecommuters still require that you go in one or more days a week. They hire them the same way they hire any other employee.\n\nAnother option would be starting your own business - not something you find off the internet, but something you create for yourself.\n\nAssuming that you will be looking at some of the "opportunities" on the net - Legitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n    * What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n    * Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n    * Who will pay me?\n    * When will I get my first paycheck?\n    * What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n    * What will I get for my money?

There is no one site I could point you to for this...there are thousands of them, and more popping up daily. If you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling.

The only legitimate home-based envelope stuffing business is one that you start yourself. You can start your own home-based direct mail service where you handle the mailing needs of businesses. While some hire accountants, your direct mail service helps businesses prepare their mailings and sends them to recipients. Your clients can include think tanks who send thousands of mailings to potential donors and supporters, or a small business who is planning to start a direct mail campaign but do not have the manpower to prepare thousands of mailings. You can check out the article below "How to Legitimately Make Money Stuffing Envelopes"

It sounds like one of the company's that used to be around in the 70's and 80's that wanted you to stuff envelopes for them, they would send you the stuff, and you would stuff envelopes for them, and they would pay you so much for each envelope you stuffed for them... well, they would never pay off, or they would not pay the amount they said they would.. it would end up like being one cent for every envelope .. you would have to work 24/7 to ever make any money off of it.. So really the only person that was ever making any money was the guy that you were stuffing the envelopes for.. it was ads for his business. I tried it in the 70's and worked really hard at it for about a month and think I made $25.. gave it up really fast.. Good luck to you if you try it, but hope you don't give them to much of your hard earned money !!

Send me $5 for the answer....\n\n\nSeriously, its a scam.  You send money, they send you directions for doing exactly what they are doing.  It used to be the "Stuff the Envelope" scam, but snail mail is out.

If you want to do something like this, your best bet is a MLM (multi-level marketing) company that has been in business for many years and is known for paying it's people, etc. You of course have to work hard at it, but if you do, the payoffs can be great. I am doing Arbonne myself because several of my friends are doing very well with it. But Mary Kay, Avon, Creative Memories, Stampin' Up, Tupperware, etc. are all also respectable companies that work in the same way. If you are serious about the work from home stuff, look at these opportunities. If you have any questions feel free to email me at my screenname. Good luck!

No not stuffing envelopes, but there is a business that allowed me to work from home and has to do with lawyers and helping people. Get in contact with wynstonwilson@prepaidlegal.com. You will get something good out of this. Tell him Yanni sent you, good luck!!!

Way to go!  Awesome plan.  I have a three year old and I work from home and am planning on home-schooling.  I do two things for money\n\n1) I am the office manager for a small construction company that I helped set up, with an in-home office.\n\n2) http://www.treasuretrooper.com/173384.  It's free, easy, and fun.  I do it when I check my email in the morning.  It takes almost no time and I definately look forward to the check each month.

I got sucked into a scam like this over 10 years ago when houses didnt have multiple computers, the only internet was slow dial-up and windows was 95!  I paid about $29 for information on how to work from home doing typing for envelope addresses and the ad claimed there was no envelope stuffing involved - just address labels.  Since I can type faster than most people talk, I signed up.\n\nWhat I got was a list of companies that have huge mailing lists and a form letter to send them to offer my services from home.  Turns out I had to stuff envelopes after all!\n\nI spent some money on postage, bought the letterhead and tweaked the form letter a bit but didnt get a single response from any one remotely interested in having data entry done for them.\n\nWhen I tried to contact the company I sent money to again, they had changed addresses so I called the Better Business Bureau who told me this was a mail scam to collect money on hopes of having a better life.\n\nThey said that most of these companies send you a few typed pages of how to get other people to send you money for similar typed pages.  It only takes a PO Box and a few dollars to place those ads in shopper papers - they collect and disappear - laughing all the way to the bank.\n\nDONT DO IT!

For the time and effort you would spend in something like stuffing envelopes, you might as well go around picking up aluminum cans and recycling them for the cash. Seriously, the work is not rewarding at all. \n\nI knew some folks in Oklahoma who did hand-assembly of electrical parts at home. Hardly paid anything. Greeter at Walmart makes more. \n\nThere may be other home-based businesses that do make money, to check them out try the Better Business Bureau or Google seach on their name.\n\nDo not try things like Amway or other multi-level marketing companies. They too are scams.
