I have a job, but the hours are horrible and I make horrible money. I live in CA where it is really expensive and I’m barley scraping by (financially). I see a lot of “work at home” ads that promise you make a lot of money, but I’m worried they are all scams. Has anyone ever tried any of these or know anyone who has tried any of them? Any good ones out there or are they all crappy scams?

They are all scams!! Making money is never easy, especially if somebody else thought of the idea before you. If you want to earning a living on the internet, become a powerseller on ebay.com. It is hardwork but possible.
nope……………….
yes there are work at home jobs that are legit. here are some websites.
There are many others, just do your research!!! There are alot of work at home scams. But never pay anything to work. Liveops requires a $30 background check fee, but they are legit.
YES! You can find real work at home jobs that pay. “Good money” is subjective, what’s good for some is not nearly enough for others. Depending on your qualifications and skills, you can make even more, but you can do basic call center type work anywhere from $9-$15 hour. A lot of people would consider that “good money.”
RatRaceRebellion.com has a great spreadsheet list that compares the call center companies, their requirements, pay etc. I suggest you check that out, and also participate in online forums like WAHM.com and WorkPlaceLikeHome.com. They have telecommuting forums where people discuss jobs, share leads and information on how to avoid scams.
Good luck in your search!
I have been looking into this for the past 2-3 years and so far have found nothing that would bring in a substantial salary to rely on. Most are scams or jobs that don’t pay much. Living in CA I know how it expensive it is as I have a friend who lives in Truckee (North CA) and she works as a secretary. She tells me all the time how expensive the cost of living is.
Wish I had better news but consider yourself lucky to be employed an have any job right now because unemployment rates are going up and the economy is fixing to go into a recession so anyone who has any job right now is considered lucky.
I hate my job too - it’s hard work for little pay but I’m keeping a roof over my head and food on the table - I’m trying to look at it that way and I’m taking one day at a time!
Actually, your best bet is to look at what you can do well, and then set up your own business, especially if what you can do can tap into an unmet need. Draw up a business plan. There are tax incentives for female owned businesses.
It’s a lot harder to start up your own business, but this way, the money made for the business is your own. You’re more likely to make money by working on a business you love, rather than expecting to find a legitimate stay at home job.
Companies like Google have people who work from home. You can try freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription 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 . Many of these companies have been in business for several years
If it promises that you are going to make $2000 a week, RUN AWAY!! I also stay away from anything that says “Life changing” as a rule. There alot of sales type home businesses that promise this also that aren’t scams but I think you really have to be a good sales person to make the money they promise. Stay away from the ads also. Legitimate companies do not put out ads online for their work at home position as far as I have seen.
I work from home myself and found it is best to find some good resources such as and. These are free sites that offer a wealth of information regarding working from home and can help you find legitimate companies that hire telecommuters. Good luck!
I know a lot about this topic, I have a lot of good info for you. 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 “jobsâ€. 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 $100 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $300, $500 even some asking for $1000. 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 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 a 1 year old and a 3 year old. 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 $2000 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work I have seen people make anywhere from $300 to over $2000. 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 $5000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $95,000 a year with her home business.
The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit and a benefits package. 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, The Consumer Health Alliance and the National Association of Dental Plans which is very impressive. Also they were featured in “The New York Timesâ€, “Wall Street Journal†“Time Magazine†and the “American Medical Reviewâ€. 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?
