I have the opportunity to go to school, for 2 years preferably oR LESS.(web based mostly). My goal is to work from home, 20-40 hours a week, making 30,000 -45K a year at some point. What industry can I go into that has a large group of people that are working from home, relatively easy to find work, and doesnt require travel or talking to people on the phone alot. (i have kids in the background) I am kinda looking for something more than medical transcription or coding/billing. any other ideas? NO SALES.

Ebay, allot of unemployment officers are working from home look into your state

But the second you say anything negative about their advertisers it gets pulled.

Why doesn't Yahoo ban the IP address of work at home scams?

Posters and answerers are in cahoots. I've been keeping track and it started with 'Ways 14 year old girl can make money?'

Many phrases in different postings of questions/answers are the same, along with the way the amount of money is typed (1100$) The names are similar, usually having an initial and they all started Y!/A around June of this year. Oh, and the catergories are really way off.

I've reported a bunch and sometimes they're gone in an instant; other times they stay or only the answerer is gone.

Wait till you read my questions if they try to mess with me now!

ALWAYS ETHICAL- never a chump

I'm planning to work at home(sideline)through internet businesses like writing papers online and make a money. However, I'm handling a Dependent visa through my mom who has an H1 visa (working visa) in the US. They said that you can't work with your dependent visa only but it's based online. So is it possible?

Any money you earn is reported to the Government through 1099's from whoever you do work for. So YES you need a ssn and you need to file taxes yearly along with paying what you owe.

I'm really good at data entry, data processing, and freelance writing. So something in those categories would probably work best. Please Help. I'm a stay at home mom with a five month old and a seven year old autistic child and cannot leave home to work. Thanks so much!

I know you are looking for a work at home program, I don't know of a legitimate one although they may be out there. I looked for 4 years, sold product, was scammed, lost money/time/efforts BUT learned some great lessons. It also led me to find the company that offered me an opportunity to have my own busniess from home. I work for the nations largest health/dental care benefits company, from home, with my 2 boys and I MAKE money while helping others do the same and save money on their benefits. I do not cold call, no products, no selling, no bugging friends and family, no door to door….anyway…it's just a thought….check it out, it may or may not be for you–

~Maybe I'll talk to you one day!

I'm interested at starting to work at home and am looking for any jobs that require you to work from home. I don't know exactly where to look. I've had some leads that seem pretty legit but I need some more because I'm not sure if its going to work out with these particular work at home jobs. I want to know if possibly there's a web-site or something I could look at on the internet that I could apply for a legit work at home job.

Hi there, Rather than try to sell you my opportunity I am going to give you some sites where you can find great work at home leads. As someone said above me, You should never have to pay for a JOB,A business opportunity maybe but not a job. I noticed 2 Mela reps posting answers to this, No offense to Mela , I have been with them for over a year but it is a business opportunity not a JOB and it does require a small start-up fee.
Anyway,, It sounds like you are looking for a work at home JOB so here is some links that may be helpful for you, I use them everyday even though I have many work at home jobs because you never know when that perfect one for you will appear/
Here is the sites and most are updated daily!

Here are some of the best legitimate ones in my opinion:

http://www.worldwideworkathome.com/work-at-home.html

http://www.wahm.com/jobs.html

http://www.workathomecareers.com/workathomejobs/

http://www.moneymakingmommy.com

I personally love the 3rd one! I have found some awesome jobs listed there! Good Luck in your search!

I have run across several ads, some sound too good to be true, some sound as if they could be legit. I hesitate to send fees because how can it be a JOB if they require a fee. I really need to work at home, I live in a very small town and employment is practically non existent. I have a disabled husband at home so I don't want to travel to another town to work. Does anyone out there have and suggestions for a legit work at home job?

The envelope stuff gig is a scam. Stay away.

I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. 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. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.

Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $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. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website, accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, processing and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.

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.

I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, 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 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 $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $6000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $102,000 a year with this company.

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. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!

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” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.

Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : – )

When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?

Check them out! Just type in www.workathomeplus.net in your web browser.
