Is there any such thing as legitmate at home work? I have been looking for these type of jobs now for over two years and have found nothing but pay to click and scams. I would like to know if anyone has found any at home work that does pay and not only a couple of cents.

ok, try www.odesk.com , it's an outsource jobsite where you can apply for jobs that suits you. And you get paid hourly or some, are fixed price.

I sure haven't found any legit work-at-home jobs. I've been on the internet for several years and nothing is out there at no cost. Most programs want cash upfront and I am not willing to work this way. I look at it from this standpoint: McDonald's doesn't charge a person to work for them. They pay for services offered. When I was hired, where I work part time now away from the house, they didn't charge me to work for them. If you do happen to find a decent paying job from home that doesn't require any investment, please let all of us know. Good discussion.

Yeah, tell me about it. I think that the way to make money online is by scamming poor innocent people out of their hard earned money. I have noticed that a lot of these scammers prey on the elderly and single mothers.

If you are interested in answering phones, there are many companies that have customer service people work from their home. I think liveops is one. I can't work from home on the phone because I have childern. So what I did was open a daycare. This allows me to work from home, be here for my children and actually have a weekly paycheck.

Thanks for your post. I have tried to apply with live ops and a couple of other ones like that. The thing about those companies is that you need high speed internet and my area does not have anything but wireless and dial-up. They state that you cannot have either one of these. They also state that they are not jobs but buisness opportunities.

I have been working at home for a year now. If you have a special skill, such as data entry or transcriptionist work, you might want to check out your local doctor's offices for any work that is available. That is how I found some.

Depends on what you want to do I guess. Real work at home jobs take time and hard work. You can't just sit there and wait for the money to come in. I just got involved in a business where I sell vacations. I am looking for some affiliates to work for me. No start up costs.
