Don't bother, they are all scams.  You won't make any money doing this let alone an income.  You are better off looking at work from home jobs such as typing, research, ebay, etc.\n\nIts all a scam, and you will spend more money that you will make, and your PC will get infected with spyware as you hit those sites.

I already work my own home business and make money.  \n\nI can tell you about what I did to make money from home. I have two children and really didn't want to work outside of the home, but having some extra money was something that I wanted. I decided to do some reading.\n\nGracious, are there ever some get rich quick schemes out there. I read about all of them over the course of two months. Nothing I saw really intrigued me until I read about Site Build It.\n\nWhat is that all about?\n\nCreating your own web site. My site is about resume writing. I know a lot about it and I have worked in the field before (for years), so writing about it is almost second nature.\n\nI'll list my web site below and if you want more information, click on the "My Passion" button on my site or click on the "Contact Us" button and ask me any questions you want.\n\nSome people who have their own sites make a whole lot more than I do. I happen to have created a web site in a very competitive field. My next site will be more focused on a tighter niche as those tend to make a lot more money.\n\nAnyway, it has worked for thousands of people and it's now working for me.\n\nI'll include one other link so that you can read about other people's stories. One young lady started building her site when she was a teenager and has completely financed her way through college with just one web site.\n\nMy site won't do that anytime soon, but I like what I have built so far. :)\n\nGood luck with whatever you choose to do.

Let me tell you from experience that 98% of "Work from Home" jobs are bogus. Either you have to buy something to put together at home (arts and crafts stuff) where you'll never make any money, or you have to go through some extensive training (e.g. Medical Transcription) and in those cases, a lot of times they'll make you come to work somewhere before you can do it from home. My wife went through a number of these "opportunities" before realizing that there's just not a lot of good options.\n\nThat's not to say you can't find something legitimate out there, but they're hard to find. Good luck.

Of course there is.  Almost any small business that is normally done from an office can be done from home.  Accounting, bookkeeping, consulting, graphic design, law, medical billing, and software development are just a few examples.  A few years ago, The Wall Street Journal profiled a man who runs a mutual fund out of his house (when SEC auditors show up for annual inspections, they work at his kitchen table).\n\nThe real question is, what skills do you have?

I am a medical transcriptionist...I work at home, as much or as little as I need to.  I make realistic money...not millions but way more than working in an office or other normal middle class job.  There really isn't a ceiling to what I can make...only my desire (or lack of) and ability to do the work.  It isn't a get rich quick thing in any way...but if you are looking to honestly work from home and make your own hours it is a good one.  I did an at-home course and am an Independant Contractor not an employee.  This is an area that I doubt will disappear anytime soon...sick people, old people, and doctors who eat while they dictate their notes are job security.

Yes there are many businesses that you can do from home that are not MLMs or get-rich quick schemes. Here are examples:\n\nTop 5 Homebased Businesses for 2005 http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/0,4621,319154,00.html\nThe Top 10 Ways to Earn Money at Home  http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol3/10ways.htm\n8 Perpetually Hot Businesses http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/0,4621,324539,00.html\nTop 10 Home Businesses with Rapid Break-Even Time http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol33/breakeven.htm\n\nA "Home business" goes beyond MLMs and bizopps. Many people are working from home doing their own businesses such as online publishing, virtual assistant, search engine marketing consultant, web designer, interior decorator, and the list goes on. You just need to figure out what you want to do.

I got sucked into a scam like this over 10 years ago when houses didnt have multiple computers, the only internet was slow dial-up and windows was 95!  I paid about $29 for information on how to work from home doing typing for envelope addresses and the ad claimed there was no envelope stuffing involved - just address labels.  Since I can type faster than most people talk, I signed up.\n\nWhat I got was a list of companies that have huge mailing lists and a form letter to send them to offer my services from home.  Turns out I had to stuff envelopes after all!\n\nI spent some money on postage, bought the letterhead and tweaked the form letter a bit but didnt get a single response from any one remotely interested in having data entry done for them.\n\nWhen I tried to contact the company I sent money to again, they had changed addresses so I called the Better Business Bureau who told me this was a mail scam to collect money on hopes of having a better life.\n\nThey said that most of these companies send you a few typed pages of how to get other people to send you money for similar typed pages.  It only takes a PO Box and a few dollars to place those ads in shopper papers - they collect and disappear - laughing all the way to the bank.\n\nDONT DO IT!

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) - see some of the other answers - 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?

Wouldn't you rather create something for yourself rather than just do data entry for someone else?\n\nUSE the Internet.\n\nThe Internet is a second home. It's the easiest, most flexible, and most convenient tool for finding information now. \n\nThink about your favorites or bookmarks. You probably have a huge list of sites (sorted, if you're lucky, into folders!) about gardening, news, holidays, recipes, shopping, Christmas, family health, games, tips, TV, finance or whatever else catches your fancy. \n\nAnd the reason you bookmarked those sites? They gave you useful information. \n\nNow think about all those other people out there on the Web. Who are they? \n\nMoms, dads... single parents, grannies... sporty types, couch potatoes... teachers, homeschoolers, music freaks, would-be chefs. They all seek the same thing. And that is, of course, quality, relevant information for their kids, gardens, home projects, hobbies, and the list goes on and on. \n\nSurfers love Web sites that reflect the owner's passion about a specific topic (i.e., painting, dogs, travel, scrapbooking, etc.) They are excited to find articles, advice, and ideas that respond to their needs or fuel their dreams. And when they discover a site that appeals to them, they will return frequently. \n\nYou too can do this too. \n\nWhat is your passion? What information, based on your experiences (life, education, employment), could you share? How could you help someone else? \n\nEverybody knows something about something. Identify it and then write about it! There are thousands and thousands of people who want to read about it - and spend money on it - now. \n\nMy site was created just like this. I love to help others and I know a lot about resumes, so I created a site about that. A link to it is below. I make money on my site and so far, I don't sell a thing. That will come as my site continues to grow.\n\nBelieve me, if a 40 year old mother of two children can do it, you can, too. \n\nIt's an honest business because I created it myself. I will not do anything to "rip off" anyone else. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I did that. \n\nThe first link is to my site. The second link is to the site that I created my web site with. \n\nNot that it matters, but I live in the Dallas area. When we moved here from OKC a few months ago, this was the perfect business because it goes where I go.

It sure as hell looks fishy.  It may not be a scam, in where they are trying to steal your money, but the idea that you can make $1,000/day doing data entry is ludicrous.  That would correspond to a pay of about $125/hour, and commercial data entry operators make somewhere around $10-25/hour.\n\nOh wait.. I read further.. they ARE trying to take your money.  Scam definitely.  You might make a few dollars if it's somewhat legit, but they get your $97.00 up front.

You have to be careful of companies who promise you can make a lot of money working from home.  My cousin works at home transcribing notes from Dr's into the patient files.
