Are there any work-at-home jobs on the Internet?

Answer

Yes, there are real work at home job on the internet. I just read that the ratio of scams to legitimate work at home jobs is 42 to 1. That means that you have to go through 42 advertisements and only 1 will be legitimate.

Work at home jobs - there are no easy jobs. The top work a home scams are: stuffing envelopes, data entry, reading email, assembly or craft work, medical billing. Offers of high dollars salaries. If it sound to good to be true, then it is. Never pay a fee for an offer of a job. A legitimate job pays you. A legitimate job offer might need a background check - which you would be required to pay.

Most require some experience or the knowledge of acceptable practices.

There are all sorts of websites that can help you along. www.wahm.com (message board, telecommuting folder), (on the right there are tons of categories with companies that hire workers from home ongoing and daily job leads, (must register but once you do go on the message board in telecommuting folder and there are all sorts of jobs and help),

Depends on your definition of "job".....There are many work at home business "opportunities". There are some types of home jobs that you see advertised like, stuffing envelopes, typing, taking surveys, etc...but from what I have heard, these are mostly not very profitable...

Some land based companies are now offering positions to employees to work at home.....Just have to look in classifieds for those...
