I wanted so bad to work from home that I signed up for list of "legit" work at home jobs for $30. When I opened the list, none of the links worked, or they were from years ago. I decided then that if I wanted a legit job, I needed to start my own company and do my own thing.

Are there any legitimate work at home jobs out there? Where can you look? I am unable to return to work after back surgery but still have plenty of good skills I can do from home.

Thanks!

There are legit work from home jobs, but you have to go about finding them the same way you would find a regular 9-5 job. There are alot of companies that need data entry positions filled. Ask to speack to the head of their finance dept. for positions like those. It may only be one project a week, but if you line up enough it works out.

I have inquired into several work at home jobs and have only (1) that I can confirm is legitimate.
It is a sad situation for people who would like the income and are willing to work for it but have to wade through a morass of bogus advertisements.
This cannot reflect the "American Way" or does it?

Alpine Access hires at home workers for customer service work. Typical pay is $8 per hour while training and $10 per hour after training. Some of the companies they represent offer additional pay for longevity and other bonuses.

If you are a people person and love Network Marketing the #1 infomercial fitness guru Tony Little (Gazelle)guy just launched his NEW health and wellness product line. It takes time to build this business, but it is something that you could easily do from home on the internet and telephone. The cost to get involved is minor and you won't have to break the bank to get started.

Look at eBay for Xango--Wilhoughby's 3 Step Plan love juice made from mango. He wants you to sell it for $36 a bottle and chip in to pay for all of the advertising. EBay's full of auctions by his 3 Steppers trying to get rid of the stuff.
Speaking of radio scams-- how about the furniture buying club called DIRECT BUY? You sign up for a meeting, get there for a high pressure 90" videotape and sales pitch, and then try to escape without getting suckered into a $5000 (that's five THOUSAND dollars) membership fee.
Then, when you order through them, you get hit with delivery charges to their showroom, delivery charges to your home, taxes and a 6% to 8% "service charge."
Google "direct buy scam" for more info.
Again, if it sounds too good to be true....

Work at home job offers are on the rise in recent years. The truth of the matter is they are 99.9% scams and the best advice I can offer is to auto delete these messages without so much as a second look. As previously stated... If it looks too good to be true... you can bet it is.

The truth of the matter is there are viable job opportunites that allow select individuals to work from home. The unspoken truth is that in most cases it takes money, experience, and skill to pursue entrepreneurship. In most cases the only legitimate work from home jobs out there are the ones you create for yourself when you embark into the world of entrepreneurship... no small task.

To avoid been ripoff by these work at home scam artists, check everything they claim they have or are, like association memberships, endorsements, etc. It is also useful to talk with current members to get an independent opinion. If they provide testimonials, try to contact as many people as you can. The BBB is a good place to start researching for any business, but do not assume that because a company or business is not registered with the BBB, it is a scam. Also make sure you check out http://ripoffreport.com which is a comprehensive resource that enables you to research the business you're interested in before jumping into the bandwagon. Do not assume that because they're asking for your SSN, they are legitimate and vice versa; that it's a scam because they are asking for your SSN. Research is the key. http://www.takeoffzone.com

It is amazing how many people ignorantly speak of Xango and Andy Willoughby's 3 Step Plan without having any facts. Xango in four years became the 4th largest network marketing company and its CEO was on the cover of the Utah Business magazine March 2008 as CEO of the Year. Recently it gave $75,000 to the Children's Organ Transplant Association. I have known Andy Willoughby for over 20 years. My web site at fifteensmarthours.com has more information.

http://www.ratracerebellion.com/ is a good site. I have been working from home for a year now, and there are definitely legit places. I work at home for Alpine Access and my sister-in-law works for 1800Flowers. Keep in mind that they require you to have absolutely no background noise (no barking dogs or crying children).

In 2006 I had decided to start my own business and started looking into grants. I cam across a company called My Grant Resources(MGR). When I talked to them they told me that for a fee they would write the grant for me and if they could not get an amount that I was pleased with, my money would be returned. I fought with them for more than a year. They finaly sent me some websites that I could have found for free. After I sent the more than $400.

Funny thing is, a lot of said scams are being peddled below this very article, as 'honest' businesses put forth by the very dupes who want to sucker others, in or by the people who own them, who probably sit there all day googling articles like this in hopes of snaring a few more suckers. Buyer beware, especially if you're looking for the easy way out.

Yes, there are a lot of scams out there and yes you do have to be careful because of that. However, there are some real legitimate and good MLM type business as well. XanGo is one of those and the Willoughby 3 Step Plan is one program for building your own XanGo business. Note that's a home based business, not a home based JOB. There are no guarantees in a business and there is no money in a job.

Here is the latest scam and it is being perpetrated by big ag and the USDA using our tax dollars (100 million so far). Here is how it works. Corporate Ag, (factory farming) wants to sell beef and other meat on the global market. Fine, no problem with that. Foreign buyers, like Japan, want to be assured the meat is fresh, safe, free of disease, etc. Fine, no problem with that, either. But here is where the scam comes in. Big Ag has come up with a plan that makes it seem like they are checking the meat for diseases, such as mad cow and avian flu and other contaminants. But they don’t. In fact, the USDA has said beef processors, even if they want to, cannot test carcasses for mad cow disease because it will cost too much (!!!?!?!?)

This program is called NAIS (national animal identification system) will force everyone who owns even one livestock animal on a private level, say as pets or for their own consumption must register their premises with the government, microchip and file reports to the govt on every birth, death and off property move those animals make. If animal disease is suspected an entire 6 mile radius of animals can be depopulated (killed).

NAIS is a business plan for corporate agriculture, even though the USDA is pushing it as an animal disease tracking plan. But even Granny's hens, my horses and pet pot belly pigs in suburbia are included by having to tag and track and report all their births, deaths and off property movements. Why? So corporate ag can tell the world what a safe meat supply they have and Japan will buy that beef. But they only have one lot number per groups of animals, no chipping and few reporting events. Yup! Makes sure sense to me. Just like me having a disease but I force YOU to take and pay for the meds, then I travel the world declaring I am disease free. I am not against big ag making money, but the rest of us are forced to be part of that scheme and get none of the profits, just the onerous responsibilites of making is seem like big ag has safe beef.

These 3 step plans may be scams but the consumer decided if they want to be taken. With NAIS, it was decided for us, without our knowledge or consent. See nonais.org for more info.
