Yes but dont go out and look for one on the net...most of them are trash....instead try looking for local companies that need forms filled and such...like insurance companies, law offices, etc.

There really is no such thing. If you want to work from home, QuickBooks does something like that.....check out their website. I would think they are legit.

I've seen a bunch of these before too & have considered looking into them. The rule of thumb that I developed was that if they wanted any money up front, it was a scam & unless I could find good reviews about the ocmpany through the Better Business Bureau, I wouldn't bother. I never went too far into it, however because life intervened & I finally decided that I'd just look elsewhere.\n\nIf you type well, you might find something out there for at-home data entry. There are jobs out there but they can be somewhat hard to come by...

as far as I am aware NO ONE makes thousands doing anything at home.  Watch out for the scams.  Check it out though - this could be the golden egg!! :o)

They do work, but there's a steep learning curve and you must be prepared to spend money to make money. There are certain tools that you just can't live without.\n\nNow it's not likely that you're going to have the next ebay or Amazon.com. The way to make money is via affiliate marketing and creating massive amounts of quality content. That's the hard part. \n\nI make money on the Internet, but I don't have one web page. I have over 300 domains at this point and I'm getting ready to roll out several hundred or thousand more over the summer.\n\nIt's not easy and it does take work. Be prepared to spend $1,000.00 or more on the tools you need and understand that when the checks start coming in, they will be small. It will take a year or more before you can build a good, reliable, steady income.\n\nGood luck.

I dont think so. They usually turn out to be fake. If you want to work at home why not try your school if your young or your local newspaper. If they cant help you maybe they can tell you who can. Good Luck.

RED FLAGS - pretty good signs a business opportunity is really a work-at-home scam:\n> It sounds too good to be true ("Earn $2,000 Weekly Stuffing Envelopes at Home!").\n> You're promised huge earnings ("If you're not earning $1,000 per hour, you're selling yourself short!") for an unbelievably small amount of easy work ("We want 100 lazy people who dream of making lots of money without working!").\n> You feel pressure to decide or make payment immediately.\n> You find unresolved complaints at www.bbb.org, the Better Business Bureau's service to help you check out specific companies.\n> You're required to pay for a "job." If payment is required for a work-at-home job, it's either a scam or an illegitimate business opportunity.\n> Your state requires business opportunity vendors to provide lists of previous buyers of the business opportunity, and the company you're interested in doesn't include one.

There are some jobs that you can work from home, but I would  be very skeptical of any "business opportunity" that makes you pay to find out what it is. These people who advertise through TV and spam e-mails do not have any "magical secrets" that you can't find out through other means, without paying a lot of money.\n\nYou would be better off going to your local bookstore, thumbing through books on the subject, and buying the one that has some ideas that you can actually do.

You can essentially consider Online Work a scam if you require a job that pays relatively well and is interesting. In the case of Data Entry, it doesn't get much more BORING, and the pay is typically low.\n\nIn fact, people who accept Data Entry jobs burn out in no time at all!\n\nRather than search for Online Work, buy yourself a book on starting your own home-based business. There are many businesses you can start with little experience or money.\n\nAll that's really required is hard work.

There are alot of work at home scams on the internet. Many do require you to either send money or pay by credit card. There are also legitimate business that do require a fee to get started with tools, materials, marketing supplies and more. \n\nThe question is: What are you good at? What do you like doing? Can you match a work at home job with your skills? Does this job exist? If not, you may need to go furthur in to the entrepreneural road and invest into your own home business.

i would love to work from home.  too many scams out there so i have not tried any of those 'work from home' sites.

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!

it is real.. no scam\n\nIf you live in the USA (or Canada), this is a good site to make money on.\n\nI have only found one legitimate work at home site so far, and it made me $392+ in just October. But it did take a bit of work initially--I added referrals--and the money got better. And I believe my earnings will continue to grow. I just recently had a best answer vote from a 15 y/o guy who made $50+ in just a couple of days. \n\nI started by answering surveys on CashCrate and filling out some free offers and received a real check from them. For example, I signed up for E-bay and made a bid and got paid $8.00. And there are no fees to join. It is totally free. So I made a little my first month with them. \n\nhttp://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=126558    \n\nBut once I found out this site was legit, I started adding referrals. For every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn. And for every person that one of your referrals refer to CashCrate, you get 10%. It may take some time to build up the number of referrals necessary to make a lot of money, but in time--this could be a great source of income--making money while other people are in a sense, working for you. \n\nAnd by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you. \n\nNote: There are not many offers on this site for users outside of the USA (there quite a few offers for Canadian users though). But if you are in another country, you could still refer users from the USA to CashCrate and make money on those referrals.

I don't know much about online businesses, but I work for a company that hires contractors to work at home taking phone calls. The company is West Corporation. You can work as an At Home Agent. These agents make .10 cents per minute they are on a call. Some people make good money at it. This is entirely a legit company.  We used to take calls at our call center, but we found it more beneficial to hire and train At home agents to take our inbound calls. \n\nThe agent logs onto the computer and schedules their own work time.  Then they log into their phone and punch in on the computer. This will start the time clock.  They have a 1-800 number for customer service if you have any problems with anything. It could be computer related, phone related, or actual help with the calls. They're there 24/7 to help you out. I know a number of people who have families, and stay at home moms make extra cash taking calls on the phone.

You will not find a legitimate company.  Think about it for a moment, why would they hire you to work from home when they can outsource the work to a horde of people from China and India who are willing to work for pennies/hour?\n\nWhat you will find plenty of is companies who make their living ripping off people like you who want to work from home.  They will make great promises, charge you an arm and a leg for your materials and then reject most everything you produce as not being up to their standards.\n\nIn other words, they scam you into thinking you can make money working from home.
