Greetings,
I know of a few GENUINE work from home positions/opportunities. These are NOT to be confused with business opportunities, rather, they are REAL work from home opportunities where in most cases you are EMPLOYED by the company but work from the comfort of your home.
Then again, there are companies which you would be known as what's called an Independent Contractor. One such company that has thousands of agents who work from the comfort of their homes is called ACD Direct.
With ACD Direct you would be a call center order taking agent working from home and your job would be to take phone orders (for catalogs, etc).
You are paid for each minute of talk time with some incentives. The more you work, the more you earn. And... you decide when to work in the comfort of your own home. Once you've proven yourself with them, you may also choose to pursue advancement within the company to further increase your earning.
You will find them at http://www.acddirect.com/becomeanagent.html
Before you get started with their application process, however, here's what you NEED to know:
1.) Call center experience (preferably work at home) is a MUST.
2.) They require a high quality computer with high speed internet service.
3.) You must have a dedicated phone line without Privacy Plus, etc.
4.) Your work space must be a dedicated office with a door.
5.) They have ZERO tolerance for background noises DURING calls.
6.) Your status will be an independent contractor.
7.) You invoice us, we pay you and you are responsible for your tax obligation.
8.) You will be required to complete all initial training BEFORE taking calls.
9.) You are expected to complete ongoing/recurrent training.
10.) You must remain up to date on all resources that relate to your call types
Hey, that's just ONE legitimate available work from option, as I stated, I know of a FEW others as well.
Heck, you can apply to become a certified online tutor (if teaching students is your thing) at http://www.tutor.com/apply
Or maybe you would like to partake in GENUINE surveys (yeah, believe me I know about the MANY scams there are out there, however, I am referring you to LEGITIMATE work from home offers).
:-D
Participating in these surveys will provide you the opportunity to make some extra money from home - it's EASY, 100% FREE TO JOIN, great FUN and a good way to make some cash online for your opinion!
"Get paid cash" online survey companies have been around on the Internet for a long time, but very few have paid people for their valuable time properly. The paid survey offers I am referring you to are reputable companies and some of the best around - you can begin to earn cash today!
They even have paid surveys to take that are available to people worldwide! All the companies are FREE to join. Any company that tries to charge you money to take surveys or online opinion polls on the promise that you will get paid cash or other rewards should be approached with caution as 99.99% of the time they are SCAMS.
You can find a whole slew of legitimate surveys by going to http://www.tamingthebeast.net/misc/online-surveys....
Perhaps you would like to think about becoming a "Virtual Assistant". Hmmm, there's a thought, anywho, there is a company called VOT (Virtual Office Temps) where they have positions for anyone with the following skills and or experience:
1.) Word Processing and Data Entry/Clerical
2.) Bookkeeping, Payroll and Accounting
3.) Medical Billing & Coding, Transcription and Typing
4.) Legal & Medical Assisting
5.) General Office Work, Office Administration
6.) Customer Support, Sales and Account Management
7.) Internet Research, Web Administration and Management
8.) Website Management, Design and Desktop Publishing
Many other areas of expertise are needed!
VOT is a staffing and recruiting firm. Projects come to them from EMPLOYERS in need, VOT then sends virtual assistants (what YOU would be) to them to complete those projects. They have been in operation since 2001 and are one of the first virtual assistant staffing organizations online! They've built a fine reputation and their virtual assistants have completed thousands of projects.
They do NOT charge fees. They do NOT have an application fee, they do NOT require a membership deposit. You do NOT need to pay an activation fee, handling fee or training fee. ANYONE may apply and be HIRED if you have the equipment, skills, education and experience to work as a professional virtual assistant. And just in case you missed it, there are no fees (lol), zero, zilch, nada. So, please do not confuse VOT with a fee based job service as this is REAL WORK for REAL PAY.
Their virtual assistants work from home regardless of their location. To qualify, you MUST have certain programs and equipment. Most you probably already have, or can get for FREE. ALL of their Virtual Assistants

Watch out. There are two basic types of “Work At Home” job scams on the internet. The first is the survey site. You join up and have to give them all sorts of personal information. Immediately, your mailbox is filled with spam. As hard as you try, you never get to a level where they will send you a check. You quit the site, but the spam continues.
The second scam is joining a club or whatever that promises you endless money for a small entry fee. They are classical pyramid schemes. The only way you make any money is to dupe others into joining and you get a miniscule percentage of their entry fee. No new members, no money. That’s why you see so many of these offers here because they can’t find any more suckers.
