Does anyone know of a work at home job that for sure is Ligit?

Question

Do you have a work at home job? Do you know anyone that has one and are for sure that they work and pay good money and isn't hard to do? If so please give me the site. I would really appreciate it. THANKS!!!

Answer 1

A home based "job" is not going to bring you a sufficient amount of income. You will only be paid minimum wage. Which to me is not "good money". Most companies don't feel they need to pay anyone more then that because their gas cost is eliminated. What people don't realize, what about your spouse? Do they still have to drive to work every day? Grocery shopping, outings, and things like that are still going to cost gas. If your married and you have a minimum waged job, pretty much your entire pay check will be going to your spouse's gas tank with the gas prices these days. Then you still have the normal bills you need to pay each month as well, food, utilities, mortgage (rent for most people). Think about how much money you spend in that alone? If you need more income, I don't see how a minimum wage home "job" is going to cut it then. If a minimum wage job is sufficient then email me and I can give you a referal to apply for a home job. I won't guarantee that you will get the job, I have no control over that. The compeititon is really high for home based jobs. Another reason why they pay such a low amount to work at home.

If you really want to work from home, and want to make a sufficient amount of income, then I suggest you start your own home based business. There are many different kinds of home based businesses to get involved in. Child Daycare Centers, Catering, Scrap Booking, Telecommunications, Candle Making, Travel agents, Tax Preparations, Health etc. Most home based business cost under $500 to start. Depending on what you want to get involved in doing. Home based businesses have the same income opportunity as a tradition store front business like a shoe store, Subway etc. With a Home Based Business, you don't have all the over head expenses as you do with traditional businesses. Just about everything in your home, becomes a tax write off.

When you first start a business, their is no money made at first. You have to build it up. No matter what business you get involved in. The more effort you put into it and how hard your willing to work it, the faster you start making a sufficient amount of income. If you calculate the amount of hours you put into a regular job or a home "job" and the little you get paid, you would be better off starting a simple home based business, but make a lot more money and have more advantages.

In home based businesses, depending on which one you get involved in, it usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks to start making an average income. (about the same time frame as your first payroll period) Then as you keep working your business, 4 to 6 weeks to increase that income, and 3 to 6 months to be self sufficient. That is only if you put the time and effort into it. If you just say "I started a business" and don't put any time or the effort needed in your business, then you won't make an income.

Most people have full time jobs and run their business on the side. When their business reaches the income level they desire, they put their normal jobs down and continue with their business growing. Other's dive into it head first and tackle it and get it going faster. Either way, you have the same opportunity to make a sufficient amount of income.

I don't know what you enjoy doing, hobbies, interests etc, so I'm not sure which home based business to refer you over to. I can let you know what my husband and I have been involved in for over six years. For some more ideas you are more then welcome to take a look at my 360 page blog on home based business opportunities. There are over a half a dozen different ones to look at.

The business we chose to get involved in was more practical to us and something people used on a daily bases and wouldn't know what they would do without. We didn't have to worry about when money runs tight for them that they'd run to the nearest store and buy the items on sale, or have to cut back expenses and drop what I was providing some sort of service to make ends meet for them. We also wanted to make sure that they were registered with the BBB, who was involved with the company. They have also have been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 also rated us the 22nd fastest growing company in our first five years. We are world wide with headquarters in in Farmington Hills Michigan, Carolina, Canada, Europe, Australia. So it's a pretty good sized organization to be involved in.

We partnered up with a 15 year old world wide company that offers services that people use every day and pay for anyway. Services like Local and Long distance telephone services, Internet, digital, video, VOIP, Satellite TV, and all the major cellular phone providers like Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint, AT&T, Nextell, Alltel etc. as well.

How many people do you know, or know of around the world that uses one or more of these services? That's another reason why we chose this business because everyone uses one or more. It's a service that people are not going to give up on because money is tight. People are going to pay their utility bills before they purchase the top brand of soap when they can easily run to the dollar store and buy a package of 4 for a dollar instead of a bar for $2 sort of thing. You know what I mean? We save people money on services that they are already using and paying for, and offer them services that they don't have, but would like to. As an example, say they have a local and long distance telephone service, they want Internet, I offer them the Internet as well as save them money on their local and long distance telephone service, they accept and then every single month these people pay these bills that they are going to anyway, every month we make a percentage. This is a very profitable business to get involved in. A lot of money involved in this industry!



I also created a blog on my 360 page on home based business opportunities. Your more then welcome to take a look at them for more ideas. A lot of information on my blog directed to scamming, reports etc.

If you'd like more information, your more then welcome to email me at anytime. [e-mail]

Answer 2

I've been doing some work with www.elance.com the past week, all the work is home based, data entry, transcription etc. The only thing is you're competing against people from countries where the hourly rate of pay is a lot lower, so not sure if it would be worth it for you.



Also have a look at the jobs listed here, most are applicable to us,canada,europe, its quite good, thats where I found the above link.



http://my-data-entry.blogspot.com/



Its been updated today to include some Craft type jobs which can be done from home, mainly re-distribution, but it possible to make good money from it if you work hard.



So many online jobs are out there. In fact, to do any online job, you need not want to invest anything. Make sure, you dont pay anything to get jobs online. It is just that need to pick the one that suits you the best. I hope this helps you and I believe you will find the online job that you love the most. Thanks

Answer 3

Someone recently asked: “What happens to people charged with forgery thats been scammed over the internet? I was working over the internet and thought I had a great at home job but was scammed and got blamed for it”.



This may not be the best answer, but it would keep you out of trouble! I advise the workers and victims to help law enforcement agencies to trace the criminals. This quite serious criminal matter. You may have to repay what you earned from the scam, and face up to ten years in prison. Is that worth it? Let this be a lesson to all other data entry or home workers and their recruiters on the Internet. More than 98% of the work from home plans failed to generate less than US $100 income. That will not make you rich. Internet fraud remains a growth industry for criminals. There were nearly 12 million phishing emails sent every day, trying to fool computer users into handing over sensitive personal information. Try to stay away from online scams and frauds. Email tyneham to help expose the criminals and fraudsters.

Answer 4

One of the fastest growing work at home jobs is owning an online business. This is how it can be done & where the money comes from.



First you must decide what your website will be about. It is not necessary to sell a tangible product to have an online business. You can have an informational website as many others have done, on a subject you have a lot of passion for.

Or if you want to sell products, you can. It's your choice.



As an example say you really love dogs, Beagles in particular. You would build a website centered around that theme. Oh so you have not technical experience, SEO knowledge, etc? That too is no longer necessary to build a successful online business. But back to Beagles. And remember this is just an example. It can be about anything you want.



The theme of your website should include beagle somewhere in the domain name (which you choose since you will own & control every aspect of your new business). This will help the search engines & most importantly people who are using those SE's to find your website to get more info on beagles.



This is known as targeted traffic. Those who are already interested in what your site is about before they even arrive. Of course to reach these people requires that you have a top 10 position on the major search engines. Or even better, in the top 3 position for your keywords. Then once you have that steady supply of warm, interested traffic, is when you will be able make money with your new website.



At that point it is part of your job to PREsell them with quality content & overdeliver what they came to your site for. Information! They will begin to like and trust you as a fellow beagle lover & will be more wiiling to take your advice or reccommendations.



Finally you will Monetize your site. This can be done with any or all of the ways mentioned next. Lot's of website owners use google adsense ads on their website. They will be specifically relevant to the content of your site. If you have high traffic this can add up to decent money. You earn money each time someone clicks one of those ads.



Another way to monetize is by joining affiliate programs. Where you will be paid a commision for every person who clicks on your link then buys a product. Say you know of the most effective flea collar for your pet. You reccommend it on your website, along with a affiliate link for people to purchase through. Every sale THEY make will earn you a commision through that link. This can also add up to decent money with enough traffic.



In addition to that, you can earn referral fees by referring them to other businesses that cater to beagles. A veternarian perhaps. There is so much potential to earn money with your website once you have quality content & warm willing to buy traffic.



On a final note, although owning a website & making money with it is a legitimate business, you will not get rich over nite. It does take time, determination, & perseverance to become successful.



If you are like I was & have no experience with the technical side of building a website, like HTML, FTP, CSS, etc. These days you can do it without that knowledge. Just like you can drive a car without being a mechanic.



All you need is a complete set of integrated tools to execute the natural, powerful process that takes advantage of the fundamental way that people use the Web. And a clear simple to follow guide that explains exactly how to do this.



For more info on how you can accomplish this, I have included the link below. Best of Luck & Much Success to You!

Answer 5

Girl, I do Passion Parties and I love it. I wake up and log in to my account and there are orders over $100 and I haven't even left home yet. but if you do parties they is much more profit. I usually come home from a party with around $200-300 in my pocket and I only did around 2 hours of work. Great opportunity for a stay at home mother like me. Sex always sells!!

Answer 6

You're going to want to stay away from any website that claims you can make money online, because, well, you can't. If you start buying into the hype you'll be scammed out of your hard-earned cash in no time.

How to get best home based jobs. >> http://bestjobs4u.tk

Answer 11

I tried over 18 home businesses in the course of 3 years so please forgive the length of this post but you will find it very informative. Learn from my mistakes! Also make sure to read all the way to the bottom because I have included a list of the 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 18 things I work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits 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 $3500 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



This scam encourages you to assemble toys, dolls, or other craft projects at home with the promise of high per-piece rates. All you have to do is pay a fee up-front for the starter kit... which includes instructions and parts. Sounds good? Well, once you finish assembling your first batch of crafts, you'll be told by the company that they "don't meet our specifications." No matter what you won’t get paid.



9. Medical Billing



In this scam, you pay $300-$900 for everything (supposedly) you need to start your own medical billing service at home. You're promised state-of-the-art medical billing software, as well as a list of potential clients in your area.



What you're not told is that most medical clinics process their own bills, or outsource the processing to firms, not individuals. Your software may not meet their specifications, and often the lists of "potential clients" are outdated or just plain wrong.



8. Email/Rebate Processing



This is a twist on the classic "envelope stuffing scam" (see #1 below). For a low price ($50?) you can become a "highly-paid" email processor working "from the comfort of your own home."



Now... what do you suppose an email processor does? If you have visions of forwarding or editing emails, forget it. What you get for your money are instructions on spamming the same ad you responded to in newsgroups and Web forums!



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



In this one, you pay a small fee for a list of companies looking for home workers just like you. The only problem is that the list is usually a generic list of companies, companies that don't take home workers, or companies that may have accepted home workers long, long ago.



6. "Just Call This 1-900 Number For More Information..."



Not much to say here. Don’t Call!



5. Typing At Home / Data Entry



Here's how it works: After sending the fee to the scammer for "more information," you receive a disk and printed information that tells you to place home typist ads and sell copies of the disk to the suckers who reply to you. Like #8, this scam tries to turn you into a scammer!



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



Well, this one's at least half-true. To be completely true, it should read: "Turn your computer into a money-making machine... for scammers!"



This is much the same scam as #5, above. Once you pay your money, you'll be sent instructions on how to place ads and pull in suckers to "turn their computers into money-making machines."



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



If you've heard of network marketing (like Amway, Mary Kay or Pampered Chef), then you know that there are legitimate MLM businesses based on agents selling products or services.



The problem arises when there is no legitimate product or service at all and it is all about finding new recruits and not only can you lose all your money, but you can be charged with fraud, too!



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



They promise that all you have to do is send the email along plus some money by mail to the top names on the list, then add your name to the bottom... and one day you'll be a millionaire.



Actually, the only thing you might be one day is prosecuted for fraud. This is a classic pyramid scheme.



1. Envelope Stuffing



This is THE classic work-at-home scam. It's been around since the U.S. Depression of the 1920s and 1930s, and it's moved onto the Internet like a cockroach you just can't eliminate.



There are several variations, but here's a sample: Much like #5 and #4 above, you are promised to be paid $1-2 for every envelope you stuff. All you have to do is send money and you're guaranteed "up to 1,000 envelopes a week that you can stuff... with postage and address already affixed!"



When you send your money, you get a short manual with flyer templates you're supposed to put up around town, advertising yet another harebrained work-from-home scheme.



SO that’s the top 10.



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.



Also, don't be hung up on the BBB either. Did you know, common misconception here, that the BBB is NOT a government regulated agency? That in fact, they are local independently owned franchises where anyone, who pays the right price, can be a member in “good standing”. This is true!



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. As we talked about above there is a difference between a job and a business. You should NEVER have to pay for a job….but again…chances of finding a home job are about 3%. At any rate, 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.
