Many people would like to work from home. College students to retirees often need to supplement their income and can’t or don’t want to seek an outside job. While there are numerous purported work from home opportunities, how do you know which are legitimate and which are scams? Well, first off – if the opportunity promises you a quick road to riches, it’s a scam. The only people who are making big money while they sleep are those who are successfully scamming others into sending it to them. So, if it sounds too good to be true or if you have to pay to play, run the other way!
Which brings me to the point of this post. Through a comment on this blog, I recently “met” a nice gal named Victoria who has put together a Work at Home Site Directory. The directory is an extensive and varied list of legitimate work from home opportunities. So if you’re looking for a way to make some money from home, check it out. And thanks, Victoria, for creating and sharing this valuable resource!
Update from Victoria on August 6 2010:
I just wanted to post that I took the site down. I found a huge list here: http://workathomemoms.about.com/od/workathomecareers/ss/wahjobdirectory.htm
I think any site I had listed is likely in this list too. I haven't found any others that includes as many as About, but if I find a good one, I'll let you know.
No problem. It's my pleasure. Thanks for sharing it. It took me over a year to figure out how to make money online by just doing what I was doing at a regular office job. And I always wished for something like my list, so I just want to share it with others to make their lives easier.
ReplyDeleteThis list of sites are real jobs from customer service to transcription to just small random tasks and much more, including the ever-popular writing. Some jobs require a formal application process and some just require a quick sign-up and going to work immediately.
I've indicated the few sites I use to earn my living. I make a full-time income working from home part-time, so it is reality when people say that, but I'm doing "real work" and not just sitting around waiting for money to come to me.
I've added to the list quite a bit since the beginning and I'll be adding more, so always check back.
And the best to you in your work at home endeavors!
Great site, thanks for the info. I bookmarked it. I also use momportunity.com and wahm.com. YOu might want to check them out too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions, Amy Michelle!
