legitimate work from home opportunities?

I am interested in working from home. I would like to start small and part time, but work on making something big so it could be a full time job to support me and my family. Does anyone have any legitimate ideas?? That are not scams, pyramid schemes, or just a waste of time/money?? Let me know!

    Home based jobs usually don't pay off. Be especially wary of ads that

    promise huge annual salaries; they often require expensive upfront fees

    with no guarantee. You risk losing your money and wasting a lot of time

    and energy.

    You said "me and my family," so I will include things you and your wife may be able to do...

    Companies outsource work these days. Offer secretarial services and keep accounting and payroll records for them on your home computer. Write promotional materials for them. Learn how to design websites for your local businesses on your computer.

    Offer your services as an interior decorator. Lot’s of people don’t have a clue when it comes to decorating, furnishing, and organizing their own home. Keep before and after pictures of those big transformations; that’s for your next sales pitch.

    Make things people want, or cook up a delicacy that your neighbors might be wild about. Double your dinner recipe and make a deal with neighbors. They pick up a home cooked meal from you once a week.

    Do home upkeep or gardening for your neighbors. Grow fresh herbs and organic produce for your neighbors. Grow and sell exotic plants.

    Today’s digital cameras make photography quite easy and inexpensive, so become your neighborhood photographer. Set up a little area with a drop cloth for background and you’re in business for portraits. The secret to great photography? Click, click, click… take dozens of pictures and delete most of them, to keep ONLY the real winners. Your customers will be impressed and tell their friends, and that’s free advertising!

    Do sewing alterations for the neighbors. Let people know you can make their clothes fit like a custom tailored outfit.

    Good at picking up treasures at yard sales? Maybe the antique business.
