Updated 10/7/2018
Working from home doesn’t have to be a dream. It’s a dream you can turn into a reality.
I know it can be really hard to separate the real work from home opportunities from the scams, so I’ve done the work for you.
Whether you want to work for one company, become a freelancer, or start your own business, I’ve got you covered! Here are more than 50 legitimate work from home job opportunities.
Employee Positions
For the sake of this article “employee positions” is simply referring to working for one employer rather working for several, as an independent contractor might. While some of the jobs listed below will offer employee benefits and W-2 type pay, most of them will not.
When you work from home the common theme is that you are responsible for paying your own taxes (an employer won’t withhold them for you) and providing your own health insurance and retirement plans.
Customer Service Rep (Call Centers)
Many US based companies such as American Express and Walgreens use virtual agents to answer their inbound customer service calls. These jobs typically pay anywhere from $8 – $15 per hour, depending upon experience.
You will need good customer service skills, a landline phone, and a computer with high speed internet. You’ll also need a quiet house. (Read: not ideal for the stay at home mom with young kids.)
Here are a few places you can look for work from home customer service representative jobs:
- American Express
- Alorica (Review)
- Sitel (Review)
- Convergys (Review)
- Asurion
- HSN (Florida, Tennessee, Ohio)
- Hilton (Review)
Tech Support Provider
Tech support providers cover a wide array of tech related customer service questions for customers. And because there are different skill sets needed for different types of tech support jobs, the pay can vary greatly.
If you think you’re a good candidate for a tech support job here are some companies you might want to check out:
Search Engine Evaluator
When you search for something in Google the search engine tries to bring you the most accurate results. But sometimes they get it wrong. That’s where search engine evaluators come in.
Search engine evaluators will rate the results that come up in search engines. These jobs usually pay anywhere from $10 – $15 dollars per hour.
Here’s where you can apply to be a search engine evaluator:
Data Entry Worker
A data entry worker simply inputs information for companies into certain computer programs or types out audio files. If you can type relatively fast, have a computer, and high internet speed you can get a data entry job. Depending on the type of data entry you do, more specific skills may be needed.
The pay structure can be per hour, per project, or per words typed. It’s also important to note that most online data entry jobs offer very low starting pay.
If you’re interested in finding data entry work here are some places you can check out:
Virtual Assistant
Virtual assistants help business owners perform a wide variety of tasks online. These can include (but are not limited to) things like scheduling social media, writing, making phone calls, drug selection, booking travel, managing email and more.
I’ve been a virtual assistant for several years, finding my own clients and making a very strong wage. (I highly recommend finding your own clients, which you can read more about in the next section.)
If you’re not ready to find your own clients, but want to try out virtual assistant work,here are some companies that hire. The pay usually ranges from $10-$18/hr. with these companies, although it can be more or less.
General Transcriber/Transcriptionist
A transcriber or transcriptionist listens to audio recordings which could be anything from interviews, college lectures, or court hearings and types them into a document.
The pay for this service varies greatly so it’s hard to come up with a salary range. However in 2012 the median pay for medical transcriptionists was $16.36/hour.
**It’s really important to note that there have been several scams regarding transcription jobs (especially medical transcription jobs) so be sure to thoroughly research any company you’re considering working with.
Here’s where you can find transcriber/transcriptionist jobs:
Document Translator
If you are bilingual you have a skill that is in demand.
Document translators translate documents from one language to another. You’ll need a good understanding of the language you’re translating so that you can convey the meaning of the first document in the translated document.
Here are some places you can find translation jobs.
Online Tutor
Tutors have been helping students learn for decades. Now online tutoring has started to take off.
Online tutoring enables parents to easily get help for their children in a more flexible way than traditional tutoring has allowed.
There are hundreds of subjects in which you can find a tutoring job. If you have specific knowledge of a subject or second language then tutoring might be a good fit for you.
You will need a computer and high speed internet, at a minimum, to get started. Here are some places you can find online tutoring jobs.
Freelance Jobs
In the online money making world you’ll see the term “freelancer” a lot. As a freelancer you simply offer a service or set of services to clients. Instead of working for only one employer you may work for several.
As a freelancer there will be no taxes withheld out of your pay and you’ll receive no benefits. BUT you have the potential to earn a lot of money. Unlike working for a company you can raise your rates or look for new clients whenever you like.
Here are some possible freelance jobs you might be interested in.
Magazine Writer
If you have good writing skills you can make some serious money writing for magazines.
Pay can range anywhere from $50 – $1,000 per magazine article depending on the particular magazine and the article you’re assigned to write.
This guide provides information such as pay rates, editors names, who to submit your queries to, plus more. You’ll be able to easily narrow down magazines for possible publication with this guide.
Freelance Blogger
Freelance blogging is another in-demand area of writing.
The pay usually ranges anywhere from $20 – $300 per blog post depending on who you’re writing for and how long/detailed the post is. Freelance blogging is how I earn my income and is a topic I’ve extensively covered.
I have a very detailed post that contains everything you need to know on getting paid to write for blogs: How to Become a Paid Freelance Blogger If You’re Starting From Scratch
Copywriter
Unlike freelance bloggers and magazine writers who mainly write to entertain or inform readers, copywriters focus on driving sales.
As a copywriter you’ll write sales pages, sales letters, newsletters, and other marketing materials.
You can look at the job boards listed here to find copy writing jobs.
Virtual Assistant
A virtual assistant is an online personal assistant. As a virtual assistant there is a wide array of duties that your client may ask you to complete, depending on what business your client is in.
Some of the most common duties virtual assistants perform are social media management, email management, email outreach, scheduling of blog posts, finding pictures, and editing.
Experience with running a blog and operating WordPress will be a definitive advantage if you want to become a virtual assistant.
To find a virtual assistant job I would recommend you send direct emails to potential clients. You can also look on job boards but advertised jobs tend to pay much less than ones you find by tapping into your existing network.
If you want to become a virtual assistant here are more than 30 services you can offer and here’s how to find the high paying jobs.
Here are some job boards you can look at as well:
Web Designer
If you’re a creative type becoming a web designer may be up your alley. Some people learn web design by trial and error, while others learn web design in college or by taking courses.
Just as you would with other freelance jobs I suggest that you tap into your own personal network to find jobs. Creating a website that highlights your portfolio is another great way to draw people in.
Here are some other places you might be able to find web design jobs.
Web Developer
A web developer builds websites from the ground up. This job requires a great knowledge of html and CSS and the ability to write code from scratch. Web developers generally build and maintain high traffic websites or develop software.
If you have creativity plus the love for technicality this can be a good career for you. Depending on the type of jobs performed web developers can make anywhere between $55,000 – $175,000 per year.
You can find web developer jobs at many of the same places mentioned for web designer jobs. It’s also smart to look on job search sites like Indeed, CareerBuilder.com, and Monster.com
Commission Based Online Reseller
If you love selling things online but have ran out of things of your own to sell, becoming a commission based online reseller could be a perfect fit!
Here’s how it works: you offer to sell items that other people want to get rid of for a commission. (I tried this and charged 15% commission) You then sell the items for your clients and take your cut when they’re sold. I would recommend that you draw up a contract for each client you take on.
You can sell used items online at Facebook Yard Sales, eBay, and Craigslist.
Here’s how you can find clients.
- Start with your friends and family
- Share your services on social media and ask your friends and family to do the same
- Put an ad out in the local newspaper
Since many people don’t like the hassle of selling stuff themselves you could make a good income by being a commission based reseller.
Small Business
For the sake of this article “small business” means working more for yourself rather than a company like an employee would or for several clients/companies like a freelancer would.
Here are work from home ideas that with a little elbow grease, can turn into a small business.
Bookkeeper
My very first “real” job was a bookkeeper. I loved it and kept the job for seven years. I just recently discovered that it’s possible to start a from-home bookkeeping business.
In fact, work from home bookkeepers earn an average of $40,000/year!
If you’re good with numbers and have organizational skills this could be an amazing opportunity. If you’re not sure how to get started I highly recommend taking Ben Robinson’s free email course on getting started as a work from home bookkeeper.
Author
If you love to write there’s never been a better time to make money off of your skills. There are tons of platforms where you can upload and sell your own ebooks and print on demand books.
A little word of warning though: there’s much more to successfully selling a book than writing it and uploading it. You will have to market your book and also learn what criteria will boost you to the top of the lists in your genre.
If you’re interested in publishing a book of your own, you can sell eBooks on:
- The Kindle Publishing Platform
- Lulu
- Good Reads
Blogger
It can be hard to believe but with blogging anything truly is possible but success only comes after a lot of hard work and a lot of time. (It took me around 3 years to consistently earn more than $4,000 per month blogging.)
If you need money fast blogging isn’t the career for you. You shouldn’t expect to make any money blogging until you’re about a year in. However, blogging is something you can easily incorporate in your life with just a few hours per week and could make a nice side job for you.
Here’s how to start a blog + 5 proven monetization methods.
Online Reseller
If you have a good eye for a bargain you can make money by reselling items. Keep in mind these don’t have to be just your items. Instead you can look for deals at yard sales, sales at retail outlets, or even consider getting your own private label products made.
(Pat Flynn has a very helpful podcast: Buying Stuff and Selling it On Amazon for 6 Figures a Year)
From my research Amazon seems to be the most popular place to sell items with eBay coming in second place.
Direct Sales
If you’re a good sales person, like hosting parties, and can find a product you love then direct sales could be a good fit for you. Some direct sales companies will allow you to market their products online and through catalogs. Other companies prefer you have one on one sessions with potential customers and also throw house parties.
There are tons of options when it comes to direct sales. It’s important that you take the time to weed through opportunities and find the one that’s most likely to be successful.
Some of the more popular direct sales companies are:
- Scentsy
- Herbalife
- Avon
- Tupperware
(To be successful with direct sales you’re going to need to interact with a lot of people. Keep that in mind as you’re looking for work from home job opportunities.)
Additional Work From Home Income Sources
The rest of these additional work from home sources will not provide you a full time income. They are merely meant to be ways you can supplement your income from the comfort of your home. These things are relatively easy to do and therefore don’t pay much.
I personally use a couple of these sources to help fund my Christmas shopping.
Swagbucks
Swagbucks is a program that allows you to earn points (points are called “swagbucks”) by using their search engine, taking surveys, participating in daily polls, redeeming coupons, and completing special offers.
You can redeem your Swagbucks for gift cards or prizes. Some of the most popular gift cards are the $25 Amazon gift card (which only requires 2200 swagbucks) and the Paypal gift card.
By only using the search engine as you normally would you can rack up quite a few gift card throughout the year. If you want to ramp up your earnings you can participate in the other offers as often as you’d like. You can also earn even more points by referring friends and family.
InboxDollars
What I like most about Inbox Dollars is the email reading feature. It only takes a couple seconds “to read an email” (which is simply just viewing an advertisement) and click the confirm button.
Just like Swagbucks you can also search the web, take surveys, and participate in special offers to increase your earnings. You also get a $5 bonus just for opening an account.
Keep in mind though that you have to make it to $30 before requesting a check. In my experience checks arrive in the mail about two weeks after you make the request.
(This screenshot shows my InboxDollars earnings over about the course of a year. I always cash out in late October and use them for my Christmas shopping!)
Share Your Purchases with NCP
If you like taking surveys you might like National Consumer Panel. With NCP you’re sent an at home scanner or a link to download a mobile app. You can then scan your groceries and take surveys about your shopping habits to earn rewards.
You can get started with NCP here.
Take Surveys
In my early days I spent a lot of time taking surveys online. Taking surveys is definitely not a way to earn a full time income but is an easy way to earn some supplementary income.
A lot of the the survey sites will only send you a few surveys per month. You can maximize your earnings by signing up with several different sites.
Mystery Shop
Mystery shopping is basically quality control for customer service. Simply visit a business or buy a product and then rate the businesses service. There are tons of businesses who use mystery shoppers to make sure that employees and branches are operating as they should be.
I’ve signed up for mystery shopping before but since I live in a small town all the jobs were so far away that the gas money I’d spend cancelled out the pay. However, if you live in a larger city mystery shopping could be a fun form of side income.
Here are some mystery shopping companies you can sign up with:
Also, if you’re interested Forbes has an article about a mystery shopper who made $14k a year doing this.
Test Websites
Companies pay everyday internet users to give their opinion on functionality of websites. While you won’t get a ton of these job the pay is pretty good from the time commitment (usually around $10 for a 15 minute test.)
Here are some places you can sign up with:
Get to Work
I’m hoping there’s something on this list that suits your personality, skill set, and ultimately – your life.
Also please note, I’ve tried my very hardest to confirm the accuracy of all the sources mentioned in the list. To my knowledge every single one of the jobs I’ve listed is legitimate. However, I’m only human and sometimes I make mistakes. If you feel that one of these companies should be removed, let me know. Likewise, if you’ve had an awesome experience with a company that hasn’t made it on the list let me know in the comments and I’ll add it. If you are trying to start your own online business while working from home, you might look into car title loans to get funding you need to cover expenses while your home business gets off the ground.
Happy Job Hunting!!

Wow this is an awesome list that you have here! There are too many people out there who think that home jobs are all scams. This list obviously proves them wrong 🙂
I am a blogger, virtual assistant, website manager and more. And, I get to do it all from my home.
The nice thing about working from home is that you can pursue more than one type of job! I like the diversity.
There is a new company out there doing Translation and Typing services. It is called Global Typing Assignments LLC. The sites are still under construction so Calling the number or using the contact form is the best way to get a hold of them.
Kindly post contact numbers of Global Typing Assignments. I’m quite interested. I can type as fast as 45 words a minute. Hope to view it the soonest time.Thank you very much
I’ve done transcribing and I type 65 words a minute. I’m not as fast as a lot of people. I’d suggest you do some practicing and get that words per minute up a bit if you want to make it worth your time.
Online job is one of the easy way to earn good money, I am working past 2 years and earning good income, I started my online job with one of the website and earning good income, if you looking for online job
I suggest this website http://tinyurl.com/1fincome
You can start earning once you register the website.
Most of the website don’t pay the amount at right time; don’t waste your valuable time in other unknown websites. . All the best
I’m interested in this for my stay at home wife, please give me more information on how she can do this. She is Filipino but very fluent in english
Do they have a website?
Also there are jobs call ceters. The Phillipines answer calls ours.
Great article
Do any of these jobs pay well enough alone to support myself and my son, I’m a single mom.
Yes, it just depends what you’re looking to get into. For the past year and a half I’ve worked about 20 hours a week writing for blogs and have pulled in anywhere from $2,000 – $3,000 per month. Now I’m doing more virtual assistant work and in the next few months should bring in quite a bit more money. (I’ll also be working 40 hours per week though)
I think the best thing you can do to pull in a good full time income is to create a job around your skills. Feel free to email me anytime if you need help coming up with ideas or getting started – [email protected]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. btw… anyone here knows about Click Intensity? It’s highly recommended for all divine stay at home moms who want more time & financial freedom. Kindly follow my site for more info 🙂 Infinite Blessings & Abundance,
Have you hear of Melaleuca The Wellness Company? It also offers many different options.
It does require you to have a network though. If are able to have atleast have as little 10 people to join this company, you are basically able to earn a paycheck mailed to you.
The products of this company are awesome and provides lot os support like send out magazines and tools like setting up an appointment for free.It is a plus if you can have your own website.
The company believes in saving the environment and the products are amazing. Anyone would want to join as members receive almost 35% discount, plus loyalty shopping dollars of 15% of your purchase and the list is endless. I love it. Plenty of quality time to spend with family and children! If you would like to join, leave your email here and I’ll reply to your email.
i like what you share with us but i live i tanzania so its litle dificult for me to get all of this jobs
For people interested in it, I have a job that earns quite well and I can do it from home. It’s easy to work “around” the kids and I could also do it well during pregnancy.
It’s not for everyone, since it’s basically in the adult industry. But I work alone, from home, run my own business and I only do what I like. No one can tell me what to do.
I earn more when I work more and my basic income is surprisingly solid over the past 4 years. I don’t do webcam work as I don’t have time to sit around for hours at a time.
I know that blogs and “daylight” sites always exclude adult related jobs from their lists, but whenever I read lists like these where you can earn in a year what I can earn in an hour, then I think we should stick together and at least tell others about it.
I run a personal help website and I am not affiliated with any of the websites. In fact, I want all women who need money to be able to work independently from wherever they like.
If you are interested, stop by. And if you, Alexa, would like to know more or would at least add a note to your list that single moms can earn a real, full time income in the adult industry – on their own, no need to get naked or do gross stuff. It’s hard work though and I also basically work full time – with the exception that I work whenever I want, so I always have time for the kids.
Hi Sinna ,
What is it that you do ? I’m interested .
Thanks
What type of job is this? Can you provide me with more information?
Really this online job thing wrk?? i want to knw how to get started then
There are a bunch of options listed above. You have to determine which best match up to your skillset and then give one a try. Work from home jobs are just as much work as any other type of job.
Hello! can you help me find a perfect fit for me, currently a stay at home mom of a 7 month old little girl, I am bilingual in Spanish and English and I can type 60 WPM,

Thanks
Thanks for that info George!
Did I find this article useful? Yes, yes and a resounding yes!!! I happen to have a friend from Florida who has been bugging me about an online income opportunity because she knows I am a freelancer who earns through online jobs. But since we live worlds apart, I just didn’t know how to help her. I am definitely sharing this to her and I am checking some of the things listed here too for myself. Thanks Alexa!
Thanks so much Jen! I run into the same problem as you – everyone asks me how I work at home but then when I tell them it took me a year to find enough clients to do so they kind of lose interest. But luckily there are many other jobs that don’t quite take a year to break in to!
There are some good jobs on this list, but I just want to warn others that some of the gigs on this list are very low paying. Some Fiverr sellers do very well, but the majority of gigs don’t earn more than $50 a month. Also, keep in mind that if you are writing 1,000 word articles for $25 each for bidding site clients, you will burn out because you’d have to write a ton of those to equal the wages you’d make at a minimum wage job.
You might want to visit Glassdoor’s website to read employee reviews on what’s it like to work at Smarthinking as a tutor. It truly sucks! They required advanced degrees for tutoring jobs and pay as low as $10 an hour, without benefits.
I agree 100% with you Shelley. Not all of these jobs are high paying. And if you have a service that you want to sell like writing, design, virtual assisting, etc. I find that it’s far better to market yourself and find your own clients. I’ve tried to point out which jobs aren’t going to be very high pay but I might have missed a couple.
I’ve personally not tried fiverr myself. I listed it because I have a friend who does very well with his design work. But he doesn’t just charge $5. He charges $5 for the very basic stuff and he makes the bulk of his money by his clients choosing the add-on services.
I’ll check out the review for smartthinking, too. I really appreciate your feedback!
I agree it would be hard to live off $50 jobs but for me I have a full time job and am just starting to get my feet wet in freelancing. An extra $200 month would be great. That would cover singing lessons for my daughter and half my monthly gas money. It’s all about what your needs are and starting out.
I would absolutely love to be a freelancer or a virtual assistant how do I get started
Thanks for the comment! To learn more about how to become a virtual assistant, you can check out this post.
HI ALEXIA
Wow this is quite the guide to work-from-home opportunities! I definitely think this post is useful and is easily the best one I’ve seen about legitimate work-from-home job opportunities.
Thanks, DC!
Very useful post! Very helpful too. Thank you!
Thanks, Brit!

Awesome list! This just proves that there are really legitimate ways one can make money online.
Thanks, Mark!
hello alexia kindly recommend for me a link for legitimate job at home am from kenya.
Great list! I’ve got a ton of freelance blogging gigs but I’d really love to get into the freelance writing for magazines.
Great resources here! Lionbridge is another company that hires search engine evaluators. Also, Demand Studios is another content mill that pays more than $20 for most articles.
Oops didn’t realize that Smart Crowd *is* Lionbridge!
Thanks Jen, I’m going to add Demand Studios to the list!

Now I,m searching for Work from home, Accounting / Data Entry / Copy writing/ Excel, Word. and mostly I like even 7 hours a day regular work from home for any particular company or comapnies
Please suggest me for good jobs
Thanks
Wow! This is an amazing list of ways to work from home 😉 I’m going to bookmark this so I can check out some of the websites that I’ve never heard of.
Great list! Will have to bookmark this article. I definitely need to try some of these to make some side income.
Wow! What a long and comprehensive list! I’m glad to see that there are so many options out there!
Hello i want
list of ways to work from home
I need some help finding a job that I can do at my home. I am 84 years old being a widow for 2 years, I think I could I could work 2-4 hours per day if necessary, I need more income than my social security.
This is so far the biggest list of work from home opportunities that I saw. Thanks so much! Since I am into freelancing for almost a year now, what caught my interest are the additional work from home income sources that you provided. Haven’t heard about them, but will try to check and see how things go.
Hey Alexa, thanks for linking to my podcast. I’m in the process of picking a supplier for my first product and hopefully soon should have some awesome income results as well as I start to scale 🙂
Sounds exciting! I started brainstorming products after listening to your podcast. I actually picked one but then after some feedback it didn’t seem like such a good idea. So now I’ve got to rethink it! I can’t wait to hear about your process though.
I really help find a part time I have a son he’s 8 two dogs and a fulltime job.
I love working from home for my side gigs, and I would also love to work from home for my 9-5 but that’s just not a possibility. It would be nice to cut down both on the commute time and costs.
Would like to hear what you think about taxes and freelancing. It seems like it would be a lot more especially if you have no kids! But i don’t know taxes to well and how that works for freelancing.
Taxes suck! The good news is that when you’re freelancing there is a lot of stuff that you can write off. I just did my taxes recently and was surprised by the amount of things I got to write off. Since I worked for an employer three quarters of the year and have a child to claim I actually got a sizeable amount back. That’s the good side.
The bad side is however, you’re responsible for all your taxes. Not just federal and state income tax but also self employment tax. When you’re an employee you get social security taken out of your check PLUS your employers sends in even more. When you’re self employed you’re responsible for all of that.
In short you need to save 20 to 30 percent of what you make depending on what type of credits and write offs you can take. Right now I’m saving 20 percent based on the advice of the accountant I used to work with but as my income increases I’m going to have to save more.
Thank you for replying!
This is a great list and I am already do some of these. I coach people in making multiple streams of residual income. I think Direct Sales is definitely one of the most overlooked ways to start a cheap, home based business. You do need to interact with a lot of people, but with blogs and social media, that is easy!
Hiya, I came across your blog using The search engines even though buying comparable subject matter, your web site developed, it seems wonderful. We have saved for you to favourites|added onto social bookmarks.
What an exhaustive list! Thanks for this resource. I just came across your blog after your guest post on http://www.moneysavingmom.com. Can’t wait to read more on your blog.
This is a great list of extra jobs you can do. My mom is looking for something portable so she can travel the country and still make a little extra money. I’m going to send her this info,
HSN-home shopping network is a great and legitimate company for anyone wanting to do stay at home customer service. They offer benefits and I believe starting pay is around $11 an hour.
I would love the hsn web sight and how to get started email me with the info
Is there any envelope stuffing that is real? I’d rather have one that stuff and send back or that they have address and all supplies.
Thank you so much for this list. I’ve been working at home for 8 months and it has it’s up and downs but I do enjoy the freedom I just wish I could make more. I’m definitely going to look into some of these while I continue my current job because I love it and the products. Thanks autumn.momsprovide.com
I’m glad you found the list useful! Good luck finding some more work 🙂
Hii darling my name is aman I need some work at home can u help me please my email not going throw please help me .
wow. this was a great article. I was looking for some legible online work and this article helped me alot. Thank you very much.
This is the perfect webpage for anyone who wants to understand this topic.
You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually
would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject that has been discussed for ages.
Great stuff, just wonderful!
It’s so hard for me to trust any of these sites. What advice do you have for me to maybe bring me some peace? I just lost my job and need any easy fix for now.
Thank you.
Hi Emma, Sorry to hear about your job loss and we hope things are going better for you. The jobs and resources in this post have been researched and they are legitimate. My advice to you would be to determine what marketable skills you have that could help you earn an income from an online job. Can you type well? Are you a skilled writer or editor? Do you have amazing organizational skills? Are you good at problem solving? If you are still in need of a job you should look into customer service rep positions or maybe even look into direct sales if you are a people person. Good luck!
Hello
That`s really fantastic list of top legitimate work from home jobs opportunities
Legitimate online jobs can be tough to find on the web these days. I do not say that there is no scam on the internet but I know many of websites where you can obtain legitimate jobs as well as other technical work.
But you really have mentioned the best and legit online work from home
Thanks for sharing
My warm regards
Thank you for saving me the time to do all the research myself, ha! I’ve been itching to test my writing skills via online job opportunities. Your post was very informative, thank you for sharing!
Hi Alexa, I just want to thank you sincerely for this article – it was such a breath of relief for me (in a BIG way)! I own a small business and am due soon and was hoping for a way to seek out an at-home supplemental income but was only landing on continual scams (and that’s from someone who considers themself a thorough researcher). Again, I cannot thank you enough for all the legitimate links and sources (finally!). I’ll certainly be sharing this article.
Thank you! I am glad it helped ou!
Transcriber seems like it would be an interesting one. I work in TV and we send our tapes out to be transcribed (no idea where they go). I imagine it would be interesting to watch!
Hi jonathon I worked for a lawyer a few years ago and did a lot of transcription. I would love an opportunity
To transcribe your companies tapes. Tv sounds interesting and exciting! If you could email me the
Information to apply to them I would appreciate it.
This post gives me clear idea about how to legitimate work from home job opportunities, thanks and appreciated for this post. I am earning some money through legitimate work here is my link http://goo.gl/n0USKO
Thank you for this article. I am a writer who suffers from severe social anxiety so getting a job outside the house scares the bejeezus out of me (I actually wouldn’t mind having that kind of job. The process of getting it is what’s scary) so this is a big help in allowing me to have a decent income.
This post was awesome!!! I recently moved to Finland and I cannot work here until my residency is established so I have been looking for writing opportunities and other online work opportunities. Thank you SO much for doing the research and posting this, saves me so much time and give LOTS of hope. 🙂 Awesome job!
This article is FANTABULOUS!!! Thank you sooo much! It is very overwhelming trying to sort through what may or may not be a scam on-line. This is the first time I have found information that seems promising. I am looking to be able to earn enough to support myself (I do not have kids) since health issues make it extremely difficult to work outside of my home. Keep up your great work!
Thanks again!
Shelly
I enjoy, result in I found exactly what I was looking for. You have ended my
four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day.
Bye
HI Alexa,
Its a wonderful contribution to Work@Home industry job seekers. We just came to know lot of new information throughout. Thanks a lot. Keep rocking.. Great work.
It seems some people took the opportunity to turn this wonderful article into a market campaign for themselves. I’m sorry to see that – but am wise enough to know it happens. Some of the replies are legitimate, trying to help other people who are interested in making money at home. Other replies are marketing their own at home business – pyramid style businesses. Thank you to Alexa for writing this and to many others that offered additional help in their reply. I work full time right now outside the home, but I need some extra income to help with some unexpected expenses that have come up. Thank you again – I hope all of you looking find/or have found something to help.
You have published very useful info about home job opportunities. It seems that you’ve done lots of research on this subject.
Even a complete newbie can find out the various forms online business. Thank you for the great content.
This is awesome. I am going to try a few of these suggestions!

Thanks again!
Greetings Alexa, AWESOME post.. you really have hit on everything. I went the blogging route.. and love it. Yet I didn’t start there.. as I looked through your list I had to chuckle.. as I remember doing the customer service from home.. See I’m a single mom.. my oldest is now 14 and I started searching for work from home opportunities when she was 1 years old.. I built everything up… and have been full time when my oldest turned 13!! Started by exchanging time for money.. with the customer service and that kept me in the place of having to exchange time for money.. so I decided to build my own business.. and this is what set me FREE.. Love your post as it really leads one through the journey of a VERY possible life.. Thanks so much for putting this information together. Keep Smiling!
Your style is really unique compared to other people I’ve read stuff from.
Thank you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I’ll just book mark
this page.
Great article! I recently signed up with Kitsy Lane and so far so good. I jumped on it Cuz it didn’t cost nevto start up and I neeeeed that lol. Hoping to bring in at least grocery/gas money.

First off i wanted to say thank you …even more thank you to the single mom who brought great oppurtunity in my pathway. A little about my self i am 28 years old single parent. I was with my ex for ten years married for 5 of those years and have a beautiful son who is turning 5 very soon. I work and work and when things get super tight i get online and look for even more ways i can make money…and we all know why as mothers and as single dads we do this …for OUR LILONES…we will try anything because trying is better then the ultimate failure of not doing anything and our children suffering. I am so passionate and so pleased at my self and the people i work with because i can finally go on a site like this and not need to have to fight to read every link to find a way to get me out a situation ….Im not a saleperson..im a MOM who has finnaly made it work and i wanted to thank sites like this and others for helping so much ..god bless….. if anyone does want to know what i am talking you are most welcomed to email me …..its my personal email and i have no problem sharing it …[email protected]…..i hope your struggles become no more and i know that if you had the oppurtunity to find something that could be so benifical to you and your lilones..you would at least invest in your self …have a great and wonderful day
This is a great and comprehensive article, but the website/search engine evaluating jobs and the transcriber jobs I checked out that I think I’d be a good fit for require 3-5 years of experience each, and as a college student, I don’t have that. Are there any decent paying (50-200 dollars a month) jobs that don’t require experience in the job field yet?
Hi Caitlin, thanks for the comment. If you don’t have a ton of experience, a virtual assistant, customer service rep or direct sales work from home position is a great option to bring in some side income.
So refreshing to see other people thinking the way I do ! check out my blog !
Thanks for stopping by Amy!
Hello Alexa. My name is Dan and I am a founder of Self Employment Ideas website. This is a very inspiring and informative article. It’s a great value and a perfect example for people looking for self employment ideas and myself. The best way to succeed in business is to be in business.
Very nice write-up. I certainly love this site.
Thanks!
I use free sites and super simple methods to make money online. Virtually anybody can make money online, it’s too easy.
Hi, what kind of job ur doing to make money. Am also a home maker can u please suggest me some simple way to make some money.
CPA offers are a huge thing today and will be for years to come. This is because you don’t have to sell anything yet simply get your traffics to take a specific action, such as fillout their zip codes, email addresses, or filling out forms. Advertises will pay you anywhere fomr $1-15 or more when your traffic takes a specific action.
Forget traditional affiliate marketing! Why would you spend your time and energy creating campaigns that are based exclusively on your ability to sell, when you can create the SAME campaigns that will pay you just for a visitors ‘activity’.
With CPA, you can get paid for every action your visitors ever take, from clicking on links, exploring websites, filling out mini-surveys, even just for entering in their email address. The possibilities are endless and the profit potential so incredible that new and seasoned affiliate marketers alike, are jumping ship from the old, outdated methods of making money online to join the elite group of high rolling CPA marketers!It Really Doesn’t Take A Rocket Scientist!..
Some of this I have tried before, but not all of it. Thanks! http://dadworksonline.com
Hi it’s me, I am also visiting this site regularly,
this website is actually nice and the visitors are actually sharing good
thoughts.
Thank You for this list! Today has been an emotional one because Im working at an annoying charter school and could not take off to go see my two year old son’s very first promotion ceremony. If I had been working from home I would be able to attend all of these events. I am absolutely going to look into these. Thanks again!
I cannot thank you enough for the info you provided! I went back to work before my son turned 4. Now he’s 12 & I feel like I’ve missed out on so many summers & just time together because I’m working 5 days a week. I plan to take a serious look at the opportunities you listed and hopefully I can find a way to stay home and still earn an income. Plus, I drive 60 miles a day, saving almost $300 a month in gas alone would go a long way! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I use wahtips.com for legitimate work at home websites and helpful articles. I highly recommend it, there’s an awesome work at home forum and links to work at home jobs.
awesome and well written content right here! Thank you
I have since contacted Global Typing Assignments one of the companies mentioned here by one Rebecca. Please, Alexa have you researched on this company which asks prospective assignment partakers to pay a registration fee? For instance, one of their registration amounts is US$100 to work? Please refer to this so that you may establish their general terms of service.
This is a great list! I’m hoping it will be very helpful to me… I haven’t been able to work all my life due to health problems. I have loved the idea of working and earning my own money, just never had the chance. So working from home could change my life! Do you have any advice on a really easy, simple way to get started and earning soon? I’m not looking to earn a lot or any thing, and it doesn’t need to be fun or interesting, I just want something easy to start with. I don’t particularly have many skills, but I can type and I have the free time. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks 🙂
Working from home can indeed be very life changing. This page include a roundup of extra income ideas that don’t really require any extra training or skills to get started: https://singlemomsincome.com/extra-income/ Good luck!
Are there any 10 key data entry jobs
There is certainly a lot to learn about this topic. I like
all of the points you have made.
Hello! Thank you so much for the article I am always looking for new ways to be able to work from home. I homeschool my children and I also get bored easily ;-} So I appreciate it! I have been working at Tried and True Ways to Work From Home for about a year now and they allow you pick and choose your jobs and hours (non-sales and they NEVER ask for money like some of these other WFH places) I want to learn more about affiliate marketing and start my own site/blog. Do you have any more tips on that?
Never heard of that one but it sounds like a decent resource to help find work from home jobs. This post shares some helpful details about earning money from your blog through affiliate sales and other techniques: https://singlemomsincome.com/make-money-blogging/ Good luck!
I AM A QUALIFIED PRIMARY TEACHER AND NEEDED SOMETHING TO TAKE MY HOURS OF WORK DOWN AS I FIND TERM TIME HOURS AND DEMANDS QUITE CHALLENGING. I LOOKED AT SEVERAL DIRECT SELLING OPPORTUNITIES AND FOUND ONE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I EARN AS MUCH AS I CHOOSE TO PUT IN THE WORK FOR, AND THERE IS A FANTASTIC SUPPORT NETWORK. IT WAS SOMETHING I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER DO AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

This is quite a suggestive list. I am 32, turning 33 in Oct, and have 15 years in the Child Care field at a preschool, but would someday like to start working from home. As far as skills outside of Child Care as far as client relations & such, my other skills are crafting/bead making, professional organizing, and can type about maybe 50-60 wpm. Also was thinking of being an elderly companion, running errands, etc. Therefore I am wondering what I can really do from home with all this. I was thinking of creating some cards on vistaprint and just freelance as a Mother’s or Family Helper for those who have a rough time getting things done around the home, & who just don’t have the time of day whether it’s kids, relationships, family, etc. Would that make enough money providing I get a decent amount of clients? I am from south Florida just near Fort Lauderdale, so I’m just not sure. I know I don’t want to do child care forever, just cause it can be stressful at times. What do ya think? 🙂
I was also looking for work from home jobs and from all the ones that I have tried I like appen buttler hill (search engine job) and the coderversity affiliate job the most. with coderversity I learn from $200-$500 per enrolled student. I have also tried leapforce and I have to say it is pretty hard to get in and there is not always work.
I am looking for something that will be a steady income of $13-16/HR. I am not sure what I am looking for.. I have done, auditing, background checks, applications processing ETC. Please help me! I do not want to go into work every day. I have a lot to do at home.
Hi Adelaide, I would suggest you look into freelance writing or virtual assistant work. Here are some links to articles to help you get started: https://singlemomsincome.com/freelance-writing-jobs-for-beginners/ https://singlemomsincome.com/find-high-paying-virtual-assistant-jobs/
I lost my job a long back. Since then I’m totally unemployed and looking for a genuine Work from Home job. I have experience in Data Entry, Internet Research but don’t which are the genuine sites wherein I cam get a chance to Work from Home. Please help this poor guy.
Great post
There are plenty of moms who need to stay at home with the kids and want to work! I am an ebay seller. I sell on ebay without inventory. It is an easy copy and paste method that anyone can learn. I know plenty of moms doing the same thing I do!
Briana, how do you sell on Ebay without any inventory? Are you able to give me some details?
I would love to earn some extra money. I am able retired and ready to put my mind to work. If you would send me a listing of jobs available to work at home I would truly appreciate your help——-Thank you
I am a 36 year old single mom of a 5 year old son I have custody of and 2 daughters who are 13 and 11 that I get most weekends. I live with and care for my disabled mother in a wheelchair, and have since 2011, since I care for her and my son it’s very hard to get a job outside the home. My income is very limited and I have got scammed a lot of times on the WAH jobs that charge you a fee and don’t really work. If anyone can give me info on REAL and legitimate home jobs that do not charge a fee please email me info and help me out. [email protected]
Hi Thanks for your posting, very useful information . I am from India will this sites work for me
Most online jobs can be done from anywhere. If you are freelancing and choosing your clients, you shouldn’t have to worry about location. Good luck!
Thanks for every other informative web site. The place else may just I am getting that type of info written in such an ideal method?
I have a project that I am just now working on,
and I have been on the glance out for such information.
ALEXA- girl, it is so obvious you worked really hard on this list! Thank you so much. I see posts like this from awesome work from home bloggers like you and it makes me genuinely SO hopeful and optimistic that career world is changing toward a more flexible way of operating – both for moms and people who want to travel !
wow.. what a great article 😉 Thank you a lot for this amazing list.
A great post about the many possibilities of making money from home. Great tips, I really appreciate the information.
I’m looking for people to join my team with Advocare! It’s a great opportunity to get healthy (especially as the New Year approaches!) and make some additional money! I make a couple hundred dollars extra each month and save on my own orders! I feel so strongly about the program I’m willing to pay people’s start up costs! Email me with “advocare” in the subject line if you’re interested!
Thank you for this blog post. I found it helpful and encouraging.
This is great, thank you! We are having our first little one in May and I’ll be staying home with the baby after that because it’s really important to both of us, and I’ve been looking for some legit opportunities to still be able to contribute to our income. This list is really helpful and definitely gives me hope that I can find something in a few months when we have a schedule again!
i have resourceful article where i have come to learn lots of information bt i will request you about one thing, that is can u mention about some companies who are hiring and giving giving people solely to work from home. Not like freelancing or related job bt companies like crossover……. 🙂
Hey Amit, The first half of the post goes over companies that often hire for work from home positions. You can also check out realywaystoearnmoneyonline.com The blogger there has a lot of good info on companies that routinely hire home workers.
Great article! I’m doing direct selling at the moment and absolutely loving it! Never thought it would be something I would get into but when you have a strong desire to stay at home with your child everyday but still need to earn money you will give anything a go right 🙂 and I’m so glad I did. The work involved itself could not be easier, I run my business all from my phone. And I also love the personal development you gain from an industry like this, you learn so much about yourself more than you could from any job working for someone else in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong it is hard work, you have to put a lot in to be successful, but when you are putting all that time and effort into yourself and creating success for YOU rather than an employer / boss the results are so rewarding!! If anyone is looking into getting on board something similar I am happy to pass on some info 🙂 Bec.
please let me know what it is that you’re talking about!
If some one desires expert view on the topic of blogging then i suggest him/her
to go to see this weblog, Keep up the pleasant work.
Hello. I am a filipina looking for homebased work. I can type at least 55 wpm. Can anyone help me? I have a stable internet connection by the way and a laptop. I can work asap.
Hi Esther, you can find some work at home typing jobs on this post: https://singlemomsincome.com/work-at-home-typing-jobs/
I would like to enroll in the work at home mom’s program, please send me information on how to get started for typing work at home.
Hi there! I have a direct sales for you to look at, if it hasn’t already been mentioned.. Jamberry!! I’m a WAHM who does Jamberry and I absolutely love it. I am looking to invite anyone who would like to try it to come to my website happysassytinker86.jamberry.com, as I do have everything posted up there and if you do have any questions you can contact me anytime!
I am a rep at PawTree. I have did well by selling products to dog owners. It’s easy, I just visit dog parks with samples and hand out order forms.
I suppose to start my freelance work right in a moment as I was really motivated by your advice, tank God I already have a job but still in school and don’t know how to combine it….Very informative article right there! I still think there are questions one needs to ask himself prior to beginning a freelance business. Freelance can be rewarding particularly if you take one step at a time from defining your go.
LOVE this post!!! Definitely going to share it. Whatever can get people inspired to make more money to change their lives, I’m a fan of.
This is such an awesome list!! I’ve read through plenty of “5 Opportunities to Work from Home” and been sorely disappointed. These are so valid. Thank you for posting.
Incredible list, thank you so much!
Wow thank you so much for this article, I am a single father with 3 under 4 and I’ve been trying to find something for months along the lines of what you have posted here I truly understand the hardship single mothers in general face because I myself am going through that hardship right now. I think you may have just helped better mine and my children’s lives with this and I am eternally greatful.
Hi Alexa,
Initial feedback….Great post!
You’ve covered almost the entire list of best online jobs available at the moment. The best thing about the post is that it covers the detail along with platforms where a job seeker can approach as per his/her skill and need.
Moving forward, I have seen a section “General Transcriber/Transcriptionist” on your list, and just want to let you know that we also hire people who are looking for a transcription or a translators jobs. For more, see https://www.gmrtranscription.com/careers.aspx
Would you mind including our company URL for that particular section? Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks!!!

Thank you !
What you guys think about wealthy affiliate? I found a Review from them (a great one) but I want to know what you think about it
Hi Alexa,
I just wanted to let you know elance . com and odesk . com both link back to upwork . com
Have a great day!
Wow! Definitely a huge list to select from! Some of these ideas were totally new to me (while others were a little bit more obvious). Nice work. I will keep this link for sure! 🙂
Good post. It is always good to work with legitimate online jobs to make your earnings online easier. I will try online tutor. I have been doing paid surveys while earning very little which I believe is a waste of time. Thanks for this great post.
Your article is spot on. My problem is that I’ve been out of the workforce so long that my skills are dull. Any tips on sharpening those on up?Thanks!
It really depends on what you want to do. My friend Anna has a roundup of courses that can help. Many of these on the list are free. I’d start with those. http://realwaystoearnmoneyonline.com/2014/09/learn-something-new-get-higher-paying-jobs.html
Its hit or miss. There are plenty of scams as its pretty easy to set up a site and ask for money. Workers Nest (www.workersnest.com) is one of the legitimate work from home jobs out there. There work with fortune 150 companies and hire remote agents to service their customers service needs.
Thank you for your unselfish ideas and suggestions. It’s really a big help for people who wished but hesitant to jump in this kind of career, like me. I am a single mom, as in literal single/alone in all responsibilities. I wished to work from home so that I will no longer leave my daughter to our neighbors house when I need to go to work, but I am afraid to leave my current job and risk to a home base job for I think of the stability. I am afraid to put my financial responsibilities at risk, specially I have a child to support.
Your advice will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
i really like this post, but most of this web that i have visited those not include africa,so i dont know if any of the web you have listed are accepting people from africa
i am in desperate need of a job
One good way to work from home is to be a freelancer. There are quite a few sites out there that offer these opportunities.

If you don’t mind investing a little money upfront and doing the work, you can make good money buying and selling books with BookScouter.com
We now have an app for both Android and iPhones that lets you scan the barcode of books to learn what merchants will pay for them. You pick the company you want to sell to, click their website and then follow their directions. It’s easy and can pay very well. I wish I had known about this when my children were little!
This youtube video explains just how easy the process can be.

What easy methods of gaining will you suggest me in order I could spend less efforts and time, staying more with my son?
Please, reply to my e-mail.

Very good and helpful post. It will helps to make money at home.thanks for such a informative post.
Koocam is the perfect site for those who wants to work from home by selling their knowledge.Any knowledge is required.
Thanks for the tip!
I’ve read your report, thanks for the information, I’ll be checking back because I found this very informative.
How much you earn is entirely up to you. If you can only spend limited time (maybe at start) you can earn $100 a day spending as little as an hour a day which is a nice supplement to your current income. Once you dedicate more time you can start earning a very nice income that can replace your current income. Dedicated members of our work-at-home jobs program can earn as much as $500 or more per day!
What is your website or contact info. I am interested in what work at home job programs you offer.
After reading this blog I decided to try one of the places – Clickworker – thought it was right up my alley. I assume these are legit online businesses, but unfortunately, as soon as I signed up with all my information – my Facebook account was hacked! I’m concerned as to what else might happen, but hoping that was it and my account at Clickworker was closed fast enough. Just be careful….
I really liked paid surveys for work at home opportunity. Yes, it is not a real job, but I’ve maid about $900 in a year. Beware of scams – some websites ask for payment to join.
How did you get started?
Congratulations Alexa, I loved your list of ideas for working from home. Today there are many mothers who need to work and have no one to leave their children with. And your list brings a great variety of home-based business opportunities.
Thanks for the tips.
I created my own niche after my divorce last year by learning Google Adwords and now handle my own accounts and do contract work for a local digital marketing agency. I set up accounts and rehab / optimize existing ones. Adwords is a platform built for the small solo operator AND big corporations, so there is a lot within the dashboard to sort & sift through. I basically assist small local service businesses get set up right so they don’t continue to lose money. Plus I offer interactive lessons (not something many people do out there at all). Google Adwords is huge and growing (partly how Google makes its BILLIONS). If you love data analysis, marketing in general, writing on point & creative ad copy, and simply LEARNING, the opportunities are there for TRUE self-starters. You also have to have super attention to detail with spelling, etc. I don’t have a college degree, mind you, but was hungry to learn it all. I am at heart a teacher and helper (and have always been geared towards marketing). I have owned my own little businesses as a house cleaner and professional organizer and then segued into Adwords (after building my own cleaning & organizing campaigns). Did so after I had my 2nd boy in 10/2015 and one in K at the time. I had to find a way to work from home because the chaos of meeting the school bus and dropping off and picking up at the sitter was getting a little crazy. 🙂 I recommend looking into Adwords. You can even get certified. That is my next goal.
nice and very interesting. even though the post is very long, it was worth the time to read. so many tips on how to make money online i have never heard before. i will have to experiment with a couple of them.
thanks
With many scams out there, there are a select few great “Survey Sites” that bring in a decent amount of extra money. The best one I’ve experienced so far, is CashCrate. Their referral program is by far the easiest and fastest way to earn hundreds to thousands of extra cash.

Great Post! I like the tip on creating a direct sales business. I stated my online fitness business in April 2016 and have averaged $500 a month. The pace has been increasing and mine and my husbands goal is to quit our jobs in Aug. of 2017 to take this business full time. It is possible to make money online you just have to believe in yourself! You can do it!
I am unsure as to whether this question is completely relevant or not, but: I am, or at least, would like to be a writer. I don’t want to sound overly supercilious, just truthful, but I have a great deal of talent and there is virtually nothing I can’t write. However, I digress. I recently wrote a short story, which, despite its length (9 pages) is really more like a sketch, but its very eclectic and general. What I want to know is where can I sell this story? It’s jocoserious and seriocomic and pseudoautobiographical, and while not overly sexual, does content overtly erotic elements, yet I’d never categorize it as erotica, which, though I can write, and good at it, I dislike to, viewing it as a diminishment and degradation of my talents; also, it’s trashy and overly simple: beneath me and all decent, talented writers in every way! lol.
Still, where can I submit this story of mine?
I forgot to place the words “contains” and “am” in this comment. I should have used “contains” where “contents” is; and “am” should have been used in between “and” and “good” , which I have no interest nor use for-neither as reader nor writer. At any rate, I just wanted to correct those two glaring errors in the contents of my comment. Thank you.
Hi I want to do typing work kindly help me.I am very thankful to you
Hello. You can apply to companies on this list https://singlemomsincome.com/work-at-home-typing-jobs/
Such a detailed post! I like surveys and mystery shopping but they just send a few surveys a month. But, it’s still a good extra money idea. Virtual assistance is an in-demand skill right now that anyone can get started with and make money online. There is a free course by Gina Horkey that any beginner can sign up for free to get started.
Interesting article. Just for fun I thought I’d check out Market Force for a secret shopper job.
Very mobile UNFRIENDLY site. After 20 minutes of filling out a fairly standard job applicarion I finally arrived at step 4 of 7, where it asked my Race, household income, marital status, and whether I own or rent. Then a detailed physical description of myself. Also…if I had any disabilities.
I’m not sure how things work in the US but in Canada those are irrelevant and illegal questions to ask. I didn’t continue further nor do I recommend anyone else bothers with that company.
Though I’m not a single mother 😛 but this article was really very helpful. Thanks
Hi Alexa,
This is a truly awesome blog and I have had three of my own in the past. I have learned so very much from you and I just wanted to thank you! Your content is so relaxed and honest, absolutely wonderful!
With Kind Regards,
Linda
Thanks Linda!

Freelancing is a great way for an individual to begin earning from home. There are plenty of micropreneurs looking for help with all kinds of small tasks.
This is really interesting! I just signed up at wahspace .com and got a Certification for working at home (WAH Certification) and applied to some WAH jobs there, I hope I’ll get one soon! Can’t wait to start working from home 😀
That sounds great! I see this comment was last year but would you mind telling me more about how things went with wahspace?
Some in the list doesn’t work and not applicable in some country. Anyway, I’ll say it’s a very very good article
Thanks!
So useful information for many people who want to find a home job. i will share it to my friends!
I am currently a mom of two and work a minimum wage full time job. It is a struggle especially with my husband in the military, I am constantly going to be on the move.
My cousin actually just introduced me online company called “Phone Tech” . It was featured in "SUCCESS from Home" magazine multiple times and it is very legit.
I was skeptical myself until he went to get his mail and his wife had received a paycheck and it was a four figure paycheck.
Now that I am with the business I am very excited to see what will come my way. If you would like to just check it out or look at the different offers the business offers to their customers, please contact me Whatsapp +79052839920 .
This company (Phone Tech) hires virtual assistants (who are fluent in English, for residents of USA only).
They pay from $ 25 to $ 60 an hour. Number of people is limited. Stable payments paypal, visa/master card

For the company name CASH FLOW, LEGIT FLEX JOBS and probably more that is showing the same introductions but different speaker and company’s name. Is a scam site I can speak because I have join in March 9 ,2018 and still no paycheck that was for being an independent contractor for these company as a data entry for unclaimed funds for every worksheet comes with a $5.00 fee. In the video presentation said that 3 to 6 days we will receive a payment on our worksheet . Never did even when they notified me that they got it and are working on it. Now it is March 30.2018 nothing in the mail from LEGIT FLEX JOBS , CASH FLOW. The 50 so called LEGIT JOBS by working from home is WRONG,FALSE,LIED and a SCAM.
Hello, are you looking to earn extra cash?

I just changed the design so I appreciate your input. Thanks!

Requesting more information with working from home opportunities
Great article, thanks. I’m a Mom of 4, now a hands-on Nanna. Pretty hard to get things done when your kids are small. When my oldest was being bullied at school I was a single Mom and desperately needed money to pay for an alternative private school. So I became an ethical dog breeder. Twenty seven years on I’m still doing it and reckon it beats most other options out there hands down.
Hey Debra,
I do a lot of what Chonce talks about in this article, using swagbucks and blogging daily. On top of that I work from home as a social media evaluator. It’s really simple, take me no longer that 30 minutes a day and pays around £300 a month! I would highly recommend looking into.
