I am looking for a legitimate work from home job. Any suggestions?

Question

Our town has no businesses, therefore, no jobs. Rather than travel 25+ miles each way to find a job, I would rather work from home. I have ZERO money to invest, and most of the things I have run across online require an investment of cash. Any ideas or suggestions that might help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

if you are looking for something legitimate, genuine and interesting as well, i must tell you, long term steady income require some patience and dedication.. fast and easy money are mostly scams..

I suggest you setup an online store, or start a blog and monetize it. Both these options are free to start. Its interesting and fun as well.

I wont spam with any links here, Check my profile for useful links if you are genuinely interested.

Answer 2

Typist? I don't know. Check your local classifieds.

Don't go looking online for something.. it's probably going to be a scam. I found a site that looked legit and now I get junk emails every day.

Answer 3

Step 1: What is your skill set?

Step 2: What do you really want to do?

Step 3: How much do you really want to make?

There are multiple ways to making money online but most if not all require an investment to setup as they are home businesses. If you don't want to go that route you can write for a living but then again you need to really ask yourself if that is what you can really do?

Can you write 5000 words a day only to expect maybe $5-10/month from that effort? Do enough and you should be pulling in a couple hundred but that really isn't a full time job now is it.

Whatever you do make sure you get with an online mentor. If you do decide to go into sales make sure you also get a marketing system. No use in selling something that no one knows you have or wants to buy. Target your products so people who want it come to YOU and only you.

I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of 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 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare 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 $4500 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

9. Medical Billing

8. Email/Rebate Processing

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

6. "Just pay for and take this class first”  Then we’ll give or find you a job!

5. Typing At Home / Data Entry

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

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

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

1. Envelope Stuffing

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.

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. 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.

Answer 10

Well, if you have some time and are serious about a work-from-home business venture, please check out the information at the new yahoo group I started.

No investment needed, you are given all the tools, websites and training for free and, at the same time, you are helping children in need throughout the world. You will need to gradually grow your business, but you will feel good about doing so. I tried several others and they cost me tons of money. Anything that tells you you can get rich quick or make tons of money is a scam. Visit the site; be my guest; won't hurt to read it and then look at the site. All I know is I absolutely love this business and will be with it for the long-haul

Best of luck to you
