Hi!
I work from home for few years now. The company is legit and has been on the market since 1999. They pay me every time - no issues! You can start for free and work whenever you have time.
But, if you decide to work from home (online), you need somebody to show you what do you have to do, otherwise u will do too many unnecessary things.
I started on my own, and I was not making any progress for quite a while.
Anyway than I joined this program and I got really good sponsor. He showed me everything I needed to know. And now, I'm passing it forward...
Please take a look at this video first, so you will get the idea what is it all about. I want you to watch it because you can see payment proof in it, so you will know that I am not lying or anything. Here is the link:

Link to the Web Site is on the right of the video.
If you decide to join, I will be your sponsor and I will help you get started and along the way.

Working from home, having a REAL job, and getting paid is a tough combination to achieve. It is usually only done by freelance designers and programmers but there are other opportunities too. I recently came across a work at home medical billing and transcription program. There are also a number of online marketing programs that pay based on performance. There are thousands of e-books out there on how to do this. It changes daily so I can't give a link. I will say though that the only easy thing about working at home on your computer is that getting dressed is an option. Successful work at home people put in long hours and work very hard.

If some web site wants you to "work from home" - then maybe they should supply you with the computer - rather than expect you to use your own.
That would be the first sign of a good company.
Secondly, they should cover the costs of an internet account (ie router, etc). If they don't, well, I'd question them on that.
Traditionally, if you get a job at an office, the company supplies the office, your desk, your chair, your phone, your computer - right?
So, if you are supply the office, desk, chair, phone - shouldn't they supply the computer/router/hookup? It's the least they can do. Don't you think?
Also, do a web search on the company that you are looking into - if people have had bad experiences, they'll probably id them somewhere.
Good luck,
ps - if it sounds too good of a deal - it probably is!

I just went on a search recently for a legitimate work at home job. I didn't really find any that you didn't have to pay for. The only thing i found was this survey thing. I am trying it for a few days. So far I am up to $15. All you have to do is sign up which is free and then complete surveys. Each survey is worht a certain amount of money. Once a month they will send you a check for the surveys you completed. http://cashcrate.com/1316194 try it it is free....

I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of top 10 work at home scams!
I am a single mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.
Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it.
If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.
After trying 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare Company. This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost two years now and I make over $3500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $1000. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well. This is where you do the work once, but every month when your customer pays their monthly bill, you get your commission again. Again and again, month after month, year after year. That’s called residual income.
The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. I’ve made some great friends working with this company.
I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” “American Medical Review” and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazine”. Even “60 Minutes” did a big special on this home based business.
Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable.

TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS: ( I learned the hard way, you don’t have to!)
10. Craft Assembly
9. Medical Billing
8. Email/Rebate Processing
7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!"
6. "Just pay for and take this class first” Then we’ll give or find you a job!
5. Envelope Stuffing
4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"
3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)
2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast")
1. Typing At Home / Data Entry (HUGE SCAM)
Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce.
As for those of you who say…..”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If i

Hi,
I was doing the same as you - looking for a good home business or a way to make some good money. I've tried a few different things, and a lot of it isn't very good (I found that out the expensive way).
But, there are some home business opps that you really can make money with and are realistic. The best I've found is a money making club owned by an experienced online home businessman.
He basically trains you with video and audio tutorials, and shows you exactly what works and what doesn't. It's really good quality and i've learned so much, and so many great techniques and ideas.
There are some free videos that you can watch to get an idea of what is included. There are about 5-6 to watch, and i recommend watching them all (they are worth it). Hope this helps you as much as it's helped me. Good luck.
