I know I started this discussion before and never really received a legit response.
I'm looking into working from home and would like a legit job. I've found a couple but they want you to pay before you start working. Once was a transcription job and they wanted you to pat $500 for software. Then another was selling insurance and they want you to pay $50 down and $50 a month for fees. Which I am a little skeptical about.
I'd like to know if there is anyone out there who works from home and where and how did they do it? Right now I'm working fast food and I hate it, I've been in it for 7 yrs and trust me that's enough. There's nothing else really around me that's hiring for anything. The closest place is a 1/2 hr away and I can't get there.
Sooo the next best thing is working from home. So let me know what it is you do and what site it is.
Thanks

You have to check out Odesk.. I just found them a couple weeks ago.
there is a banner on my page.. They are legit and have jobs posted everyday.
All types. You can get paid hourly or fixed rate jobs. There are tests you can take to prove you are knowledgeable. Seems like a great site.. I have seen proofs of pay - they pay via PayPal.
I have heard of another called Guru I believe- but I haven't checked on that one yet.
good luck.

If you are in a good area and are a decent sales person, I'm told Avon is an amazing way to make money. It costs $10 to sign up and after that it's just a matter of selling, having parties, etc. I think it depends on your sales abilities and your customer base whether or not it will work as a sole income or just supplemental but it's legitimate, reputable and the start up cost is really cheap, compared to most of those things.

I've actually tried Avon, I talked to a rep from there and they told me I had to pay for all my own stuff until I can make money on my own.
Working fast food does not pay very good to buy all that lol
Thanks for the reply!

I am a work-at-home mom. I earn by way of writing articles to various online writing websites. Why don't you have a look at my profile for the websites that I write for? All websites mentioned in my profile are legit sites.

Now there are many jobs allowing us to work at home.
For example:
1.A call center in your home
2.Start a Web business
3.Online auctions
4.Mystery shopping,survey taking and'piece work'
Keys for the home-based worker
As you're considering potential work-at-home opportunities,keep these points in mind:
Your best opportunities may be close to home.If you're still working,rummage around your current workplace to see if any job--not just the one you're doing now--is portable.YOu might hit pay dirt if you're well--regarded and your enployer has work that's not getting done or not being done well.A written plan explaining your proposal may help you away your enployer.
Otherwise,expcet a lot of competition.
Don'texpect to make a fortune.
