Can someone give me advice on working from home?

I have been caring for an ill family member, and it's pretty important that I be home most of the time. I was considering trying to work from home, but it isn't an option at my current place of work. I have tried looking around for various work-from-home opportunities, but haven't had much luck. I know that most of them are scams, but I also know that there are some legitimate jobs out there. Anyway, I was hoping someone could give me some tips or point me towards a specific website. Any help at all is appreciated.Can someone give me advice on working from home?
I've tried lots of different things to earn money from home. None of them were scams, but the majority of them didn't earn the kind of money I would have liked to be earning. Eventually, I found a home based business that didn't cost money to get started with. It's been the best thing for my family and I love what I'm doing now.Can someone give me advice on working from home?
There are a few legitimate data entry companies but are not hiring and have large waiting lists (1-2yrs). The majority of data entry jobs you seen online are scams. A real company will want you to have skills (fast typing, 10 key), may want you to know excel, and will usually ask that you have high speed internet. Once in a long while you may found one online on a job website but it is rare.





One option is to freelance and bid for data entry jobs. However, you are bidding along with many people and often other countries-so you may have to bid really low just to get a job and/or project.





Another option is to offer data entry services to businesses in your area. It can be done, I know people who have done this but it is not easy to do.
All I can tell is beware that no investment is required from you. Make sure that you receive fringe benefits.


Good luck.
All the work at home deals are scams. You only get to telecommute on a job after you have been there for a while.
Don't worry at all just take a tour.You will like it.I am already working with them.



I've been doing some work with www.elance.com the past week, all the work is home based, data entry, transcription etc. The only thing is you're competing against people from countries where the hourly rate of pay is a lot lower, so not sure if it would be worth it for you.





Also have a look at the jobs listed here, most are applicable to us,canada,europe, its quite good, thats where I found the above link.

Its been updated today to include some Craft type jobs which can be done from home, mainly re-distribution, but it possible to make good money from it if you work hard.





So many online jobs are out there. In fact, to do any online job, you need not want to invest anything. Make sure, you dont pay anything to get jobs online. It is just that need to pick the one that suits you the best. I hope this helps you and I believe you will find the online job that you love the most. Thanks
