Comments on: What are some legitimate work from home jobs?

I would suggest looking into home based businesses instead of home based jobs. There’s quite a significant income factor in this. In a home “job”, your looking at making about minimum wage. Is this sufficient amount of income for you? If so, I can give you a web site where you can apply for a home job. If your married, your paycheck is going to go into their gas tank, as well as in yours for basic things that you still will need to drive around for like grocery shopping and a variety of different things. But if this is all you need to make, I can give you a web site.
If you really want to work from home, and want to make a sufficient amount of income, then I suggest you get involved in a “home based business”. A simple business that you own and run out of your house. There are many different kinds of home based businesses to get involved in like Child Daycare Centers, Catering, Telecommunications, Candle Making, Travel, 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, but 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. Like your phone, computer (if you have one) car expenses, some food, utilities etc. Things that you use on a daily bases all become tax write off’s.
When you first start in a business, understand that you don’t make money off the bat.. 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 getting involved in a simple home based business, rather than getting involved in a low paying job. Because you can make a lot more money and have more advantages then just a home job!
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 if you put the time and effort into it, and do what’s needed to get it off the ground.
Most people have full time jobs and run their business on the side. When their business reaches the income level they want, they put their normal jobs down and continue with their business growing. Some people don’t have another job for different reasons, they just dive into and build their business. I suggest you keep your day job, if you have one, until your business reaches the income level you want.
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. One example of a home based business is what my wife and I have been involved in for over six years now. 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 got involved in the Telecommunications industry.
The company we partnered up with is now a 15 year old world wide company. They are the largest direct selling Telecommunications service provider in the world. They 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. The headquarters are in Farmington Hills Michigan, Carolina, Canada, Europe, Australia. So it’s a pretty good sized organization to be involved in.
We offer 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 product and service that’s in high demand and always will be for both men and women.
So that’s one example, there are plenty of other options as well.

Yes they are very real and their are some really good companies out their I am a mom of 4 and have been working from home for a while. Its possible to find companies without fees or upfront charges.

I looked for a very long time before I found the company I’m with today I will tell you that it is a lot of work and it takes committment.

This website contains a list of some companies that may be hiring, also also some general information on working at home and data entry etc.

Take the time to find something you enjoy doing from home and something you believe in because you do not want your home to become a prison that you just do not want to work in.

and this is another I’ve seen with some good info:

I have actually found one site that works at is a great way to make extra money. The site will ask you to complete surveys and offers and those companies will then pay you. Unlike most work at home jobs this is one is really legit and actually sends real checks to you at the end of the month. I have already made over $2500+ from this website and keep it mind that everything is free.I will love to answer any questions that you might have regarding this just contact me:

I own my own online home-based business. I love it because I can work at it part time and still make money, earn tax write-offs, make my own schedule and be my own boss.

This isn’t a scam – check out whatever company you look into carefully. They should be a member of the BBB and have a good long reputation. They should also offer free training and lots of support.

Check out my website as listed in my profile. Hope I hear from you and good luck!!

A majority of work from home sites are a scam, but I have made a website with a list of opportunities that I have personally been successful with.

I can be reached through my website and all these offers are free to try.

Also if you have some IT or admin experience have a look at

or do a yahoo search for ‘freelance jobs’, you will probably find something

I work part time from home. I have my own spa escape business. I schedule spa escapes for clients and their friends to do in their own homes. Teach them how to relax and destress. They can recreate it anytime that they want. I use my products and they can purchase them if they would like. Very FUN and earning potential is unlimited. I work full time as a teacher with a master’s degree. I make more doing the spa escapes part time than I do with my full time job. Looking to retire early. Like I said earning potential is unlimited. You can earn trips, jewelry, cash bonuses and even red mustang that is yours to keep. I am looking for new spa girls to start in different areas. Free training.
Contact me for more details.

Unless you have some major experience already, then Work from Home jobs are not really an option.

Some people with established careers might be able to telecommute. And some with a lot of experience can open their own businesses.

If you are just looking for an entry level job, from home, then you will NOT find it.

It doesn’t exist. I know, I looked for 4 months.
