Finding Legitimate Work At Home Opportunities
When you search for work at home opportunities on the internet, oftentimes you will find sites pitching programs that could make you thousands of dollars a week. Usually these programs are scams designed to take your money. So how do you go about finding legitimate work at home jobs that pay you for your time?
1. Craigslist – The Craigslist job board is where I have found all of my jobs after college, and it is a great resource. When you search for jobs you can check the “telecommute” option for jobs that allow you to work at home.
2. Freelance sites – eLance and iFreelance are two sites that allow you to find freelance jobs and bid on how much you wish to be paid.
3. Virtual agent companies – If you do not mind working as a customer representative or an virtual assistant, companies such as LiveOps and Working Solutions might be right for you. Both of these companies have on demand call centers, which means you take calls at home.
4. Work at home online communities - A great site that I read from time to time is WAHM.com. They post job opportunities for free on their site and they have plenty of tips on avoiding scams and starting your own business.
5. Your current job - Would your current employer let you work at home? Some of my coworkers actually live in other states and work from home exclusively. If you can show that you can be extremely productive at home, it may be worthwhile to ask your current employer for the opportunity to work at home.

ok i have always heard of virtual assistants but never saw a legitimate opportunity for being one…i might look into doing this along with my other online ventures .WAHM is ok but I like http://www.homejobstop.com/ (and no this isnt my site) it costs to be a member but it is a decent site and weeds out all the BS scam offers
