Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

I worked for many years at the BBB. We took several complaints against companies that fell in the work at home category. With all the years dealing with this subject I have never heard of one company that really provides you with work. They make their money by getting you to send in a "deposit" for the materials. These scams are illegal and it is very tough to find the "company" to get your money back once you have paid. They use maildrops and change their phone number often. My best advice is find something else. Good luck!

No. I have looked. Every at hoime internet job wants you to pay a registration fee or something, or at least give them credit card details. Anyone that asks for all that isn't genuine. I honestly don't believe that there is a genuine one.

I don't disagree with the above answer, but they are not worth the money you will dump into them. Try 167 dollars just to start things off! Stick with people you know or smaller local businesses. The people doing the work will be paid more and will probably be much more reasonable with their prices. Just because you have a cool logo, doesn't mean you know how to fix computers.

Be careful. There are many online scams regarding stay-at-home job offers. It is rather hard to distinguish legitimate work-at-home programs from people who are just out to get your money. You should really do your homework on these questions, as well as ask the employers:\n\nWhat tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program sponsor to list every step of the job.)\nWill I be paid a salary, or will my pay be based on commission?\nWho will pay me?\nWhen will I get my first paycheck?\n\nIf the employer fails to answer these questions, and you still feel dubious, believe in yourself and move on to others.

TJweb92 has some topics which are very technical and which might be good to get involved in.\n\nMOST home computer work is a scam and will frustrate you and impoverish you!  Be careful about paying to sign up  to do data entry or anything like that.  \n\nThe honest home employment I've seen has been childcare and babysitting!

You can start your own business servicing computers at home.\n\nOnce you get started word of mouth will keep you going.\n\nI install AVG anti virus, two spy ware programs and Windows defender for $50. I run the scans and everyone is amazed and happy with the speed of their computer. \n\nI have people bring their box only & I hook up a moniter etc on my workbench.\n\nThe programs I install are free & legal.

You can essentially consider Online Work a scam if you require a job that pays relatively well and is interesting. In the case of Data Entry, it doesn't get much more BORING, and the pay is typically low.\n\nIn fact, people who accept Data Entry jobs burn out in no time at all!\n\nRather than search for Online Work, buy yourself a book on starting your own home-based business. There are many businesses you can start with little experience or money.\n\nAll that's really required is hard work.

not always they work on a profit system that relies on your wallet.  clone computers are good and cheaper but what happens when the consulting company folds and you need your computers, will you be able to get help, with a name brand help is always a phone call or email away.

First of all, I'm not sure why someone answered most are scams. A lot of at-home job leads are scams, but I know of only one company that does transcription that has turned out to be a scam. I have been a transcriptionist for a lot of years now, and doing it from my home for the past seven. Before that I was an in-office paralegal and much prefer working from home. Also the person who talked about your qualifications, they are right to an extent if you are looking for medical transcription, although HIPAA is the correct spelling. If you are willing to take the courses offered by online reputable schools such as Career Step then you would have very little problem finding medical transcription work. To find legal or general transcription work is not quite as easy but it can be done by joining transcription boards, checking job sites for "general transcription" offers. I host a group at Google called Legal, Medical, and General Transcripton and we have people on there looking for workers all the time. Equipment needed is a digital pedal (anywhere from $50 to $200) depending on where you find it. The digital transcription program most people have migrated to is the free one called Express Scribe. (Google it--they also have pedals they sell at a reasonable price). If you are not set up to do files digitally, most people won't wait for you to do so. One Web site I would encourage anyone to check out, especially moms who want to stay at home with their kids and find legit at-home work, is www.mommyessentials.com. Good luck you homeworkers, I've been at home for almost seven years and loving every second of it!

Way to go!  Awesome plan.  I have a three year old and I work from home and am planning on home-schooling.  I do two things for money\n\n1) I am the office manager for a small construction company that I helped set up, with an in-home office.\n\n2) http://www.treasuretrooper.com/173384.  It's free, easy, and fun.  I do it when I check my email in the morning.  It takes almost no time and I definately look forward to the check each month.

I suggest checking the local stores first.\n\nQuite often, you may be surprised what is available in your community owned retail stores.  I work at one that sells both new and used computers.  And I always laugh when somebody gets a "deal" online, and then brings it in to us for service.  More often then not, we offered something similar (if not identical) at an even lower cost.\n\nPlus if something goes wrong, your local store can help you.  Try that with something you buy on-line.
