I do three different things to make money.  One is on mylot.com  you can do what you are doing here and get paid for it.  Just post questions and answer questions.  It's a nickel and dime thing but it does pay and I do it just to fill in some extra time.  The second is I am an ebay seller.  I sell old stuff that I had around the house, I make lap quilts and sold those or I will even by something really cheap on sale in a store and list it on ebay and make a profit on it.  The third business I have is with Stayin Home and Lovin It!  they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and a member of the Better Business Buerau.  I do the advertising for the company to sign up people to shop directly with the company.  I enroll them to just shop or to even start their own home business by doing the same.  The response I have gotton has been amazing.  It is no risk and you don't have to do deliveries or taking orders, just bring them to the company and if they want to also work at home with the company you will help them get started.  I have had such great support and training and with really nice people.  There is no risk in trying to see if it is for you.  If you are interested go to http://healthybetterme.com/  and request more information from there.  \n\nA great sourse to look up all companies is at http://search.bbb.org/    there you can search by name, address, or url.  It really saved me form being scamed and if they don't show up on there I wouldn't trust it.  A lot of work at home promises are scams so becareful.

You have to go to a medical institution that needs this kind of help and ask them how to set yourself up to do this for them. They will have a way to do this and will setup the program for you. Don't go online searching for this as you will only get the scammers that want to charge you for lists of places that "might" need your services.

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf 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. 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?

I think anything that blends medicine and IT together will be a money making machine. If you're independent IT, solicit to hospitals. IF you're not and you're looking for full tiem work, that might be a little harder to find because they might not know that they need you !

I am a medical transcriptionist...I work at home, as much or as little as I need to.  I make realistic money...not millions but way more than working in an office or other normal middle class job.  There really isn't a ceiling to what I can make...only my desire (or lack of) and ability to do the work.  It isn't a get rich quick thing in any way...but if you are looking to honestly work from home and make your own hours it is a good one.  I did an at-home course and am an Independant Contractor not an employee.  This is an area that I doubt will disappear anytime soon...sick people, old people, and doctors who eat while they dictate their notes are job security.

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...

There are many "work from home" programs available today. Personally I work with an Inc 500 Company that has been in business for over 20 years.  They are in the Health and Wellness Industry and pay me well through their Revenue Sharing Program.  Many people like yourself have put themselves through College only to find that they are not happy with what they do.  I show people how to create an income from home working around their current job.  We have had many people, in your same situation, that have found our program to be very rewarding.  Some replace their career all together, while others only supplement their income (if you don't HAVE to do what you are trained to do... you may find that you like what you are doing more)\n\nIf you would like more information on how so many of us are turning away from the "JOB" scene... contact me through my 360 page.  I absolutely LOVE sharing this information with others.

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.

For now this job is staying in house or locally. The computerized(EHR or PHR) health records are not developed enough for them to electronically bill on their own. And the paper record needs to stay in house (HIPAA) so they need people on staff that can perform billing. Billing is SO  important to organizations... duh its how they make their money. They want people that can maximize teh number of items billed. So they want people that know what they are doing. There is a lot to memorize but there are numerous computer and text resources to assist you in your job, after you have been doing it for a while it will become second nature.\nAlso, in another five to ten years experienced billers will find more opportunities in the electronic health record field so if you stick to it and do well you may be looking at some good money!

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 completely sympathize. I actually am at home now, out on Medical leave since September, and my prescriptions are quite costly also. I've done a lot of research on the internet for work at home jobs, and honestly all I have found have been scams. I did however pick up a book at my local bookstore, called "The work at home source-book", and they have hundreds of work at home opportunities, some of them as simple as light assembly, or stuffing envelopes. I'm also going to get some information about selling on e-bay, since I have heard that most people can make a very lucrative income without much energy output. I hope that helps. I will have u in my prayers and thoughts. Good Luck.

No degree, there are classes available also experience is great. You can make good money doing this from home.  Ever think of doing medical transcription from home. Very inexpensive to get into and there is a big demand.  I do it on the side and make around $20 an hr. If you have any medical background you might like this.

There are plenty of legitimate work at home opportunities. Home surveys and data entry offered by the best companies are a simple and effective way to make some extra cash. If you check out some of the work at home directory sites like the one listed below, you will find a lot of opportunities that have been researched by them, and are paying their members. Check out some of the work at home forums also, where you can learn about other peoples' experiences with various companies. If you type "work at home forum" into Google, Yahoo or other search engines you will find plenty of information. There is no alternative to doing your homework and finding out from others what companies are legitimate and paying.
