    I used to work online for a company called LionBridge.

    http://www.lionbridge.com/

    Google them. There are plenty of forum discussions if you are not convinced they are legit.

    Anyway, I worked for them briefly in 2008 but left because the hours were not enough and I got a full time job doing something else.

    I was paid approx £9 per hour and it was probably the most boring thing I have ever done. The time went very slowly but I COULD do the job. It was analysing webspam and filling out reports about websites.

    We had to match queries to a "Relevance" scoring system. It was for a well known search engine and their associated products. I worked on things that I have still not seen rolled out even though I am going back 5 years. I guess they were just experimenting with those products.

    They are always looking for raters in different countries. If you speak a second language, that will help. There is a two part test to sit, with some revision material.

    I was always paid on time by wire transfer, but in Euros. The currency exchange rate needs to be factored in.

    Good luck.

    Source(s): There is no guarantee you'll get a job with them. You will need to register self employed but you will not have to pay National Insurance if you income is below a certain threshold. Look into your country's tax stipulations. LionBridge Technologies careers - http://www.lionbridge.com/careers/ Work from home as an internet assesor - http://bit.ly/11QU5wf

    No such thing as a work-at-home job. Those are all scams - and the media has warned about these repeatedly for at least a couple of decades.

    You either telecommute for your current employer (rarely possible) or start your own business. Starting a biz requires multiple investments: time, knowledge, skills, multiple abilities, expertise, references & recommendations, space, equipment, MONEY, and a great deal more. Are you a CPA, graphic designer, or anything where you have the expertise & contacts to start up on your own?

    There are some genuine sites that pay you for taking surveys for their research.

    They don't pay the thousands of pounds that all the fake emails you see tell you, but some do exist. Just remember, any site like this that asks for money first, is a con.

    No such thing, I'm afraid - this question is asked a dozen times a day on this site!

    create your own web sites; or

    do not work from home!

    never work from home via web sites cause the con men are smarter than you are and

    will get your $$$
