how many people have tried to get a work from home job

November 20, 2008 3:31pm CST
Hi ive been trying to get a work from home job now for about 4 months because i live about 15 miles away from any towns. has any one actually ever found one or are they all scams? im not sure lol. Ive heard that even if there was any out there it will be a very hard job and the pay is quite low. how much could you earn on here. if you could earn on here, and on other sites then anybody could work from home. this is a vital issue because if we were all to do this then were all just working for pittance. what are all your thoughts, i would love a detailed description because its all important really isnt it?

I work from home. No they are not all scams. But you do need to be very careful. I found my job at this free site: www.genuinejobs.com The jobs are free too. You will need an online resume. I am not making as much as I did when I worked outside the home. That is certain. But I save on gas and childcare. So it is a trade off.

ok cool, but how much do you earn, and whats involved i mean i hear its easy but earning money never is, how long have you worked from home. ive also heard that you have to get more than one stream of income.

I work at home as an article rewriter and i have found work on several sites such as Elance.com, getafreelancer.com and guru.com. Not only are they great job search engines but they all have an escrow feature to protect both buyers and providers.

i haven't really looked. most of the site that i see for that kind of thing requires me to pay some money to get a started pack of information about starting my own job. personally i don't trust those things. i could see if they were sending me a catalog of things to sell, maybe then i would. selling things is a good way of making money. its something that you could have your own site or even use ebay to do it. there's really not that many ways that you can make money from home that doesn't involve selling something to someone. I'm sure that its something that doesn't happen overnight. its one of those things where you have to establish yourself some how. i wish that i could help you out, but when it comes to those things i really don't trust them.

I work from home 8 hrs a day on a multiple load of sites and earn about 800 a month. Its useful due to the fact no one wants to hire a 18 year old. but hey its all well
