Does anyone have any experience with some of the "work from home" sights? Are any of them legitimate?

Question

Okay thanks! I am planning to go back to school in the Fall full-time (scary) and I am looking for ways to make money while doing so. I thought working from home sounded like a great idea. Thanks for your answer, Diana H.

Answer 1

You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years

Answer 4

This is probably not quite what you are looking for however, i do some work as a "Mystery Shopper".  The assignments differ but the idea is you go somewhere, check how they are doing and report on it and you get paid.  I will tell you that the pay is not great and there are several times I have felt it wasn't worth my time.  But sometimes it is fun and you get reimbursed for food costs, etc.  

Do not ever pay a website to be a secret shopper.  The mystery shop companies operate their own website that you register on and get assignments.  Companies differ depending on where you live.  If you are interested in looking into it.  I recommend you check out the MSPA website (Mystery Shopping Providers Association)  http://mysteryshop.org/index-na.php  Good luck!

Answer 8

Well you could try survey sites. They've worked for me. I review some survey sites to make money that have worked for me at http://cashtutor.blogspot.com What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public's opinion. By doing this, you are able to earn money very easily for simply giving your opinion or trying out sample products. This is a great service that allows one to work from home, on their spare time, at their leisure, and still bring in a nice sum of money every month. People have made up to $1000 easily on this site by just working on it in their spare time. It is not going to replace a real job's salary, but it is a very nice bonus. There are also many features on these web site, such as contests and special surveys, from which you can redeem extra prizes that would be sent to you with your monthly cheque, such as iPods, Xbox 360s, PSPs, digital cameras, gift certificates, and much more.

Cheques are sent monthly, and usually arrive about a week or a week and a half into the next month. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER. Unlike other sites that try to scam people out of their money, these sites never requires you to pay them.

"If the site doesn't get paid from me, then why would they have this service going?" - The sites don't get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let's say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time.

Fraud is also a big deal on the Internet these days, and this site recognizes that. That is why they ask for ONLY three bits of information: Your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month. Your email address is only required to confirm that you have done the offers and surveys. Fortunately, no spam mail or junk mail is ever sent out by this site and your information is never shared with any other company.

Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. So far, I've listed only positives about this site, because I can't think of a single negative thing about it. Earn money in your spare time, at no cost to you...Easy as that! I give you my word that they pay.

email me at [e-mail] if you have any questions

p.s half the answers you were givens are scams awsurveys, snapdollars, etc. don't worry i deleted most of them

Answer 9

I, too, have been looking to get involved in one of these types of companies and have wondered how they work and how legitimate they are.

You could alwas go to your local Better Business Bureau's website with the name and phone number of the company and it will give you any information, good or bad, about the company.

My cousin's sister-in-law got my cousin's wife involved in a company that does medical billing for local doctors' offices and she had to buy an external hard drive for her computer ($100) to use solely for business use.  She devoted a full-time work-week schedule last month while the kids were still in school and she earns 6% of what she bills out (and she also calls and takes care of medical insurance issues) and for the WHOLE MONTH of May, you know how much she earned?  All of $300 (and that is not even including Medicare and Federal Withholding taxes being taken out!!!)
