Anyone got any experience with work from home opprotunities?
Hey all,
This is a general shout out to see if anyone has any experience with working from home opportunities. I know the major ones to avoid are the ones where you have to deposit money into your account and then pay back out, building things that really seem to have no purpose that requires you to purchase a "starter kit", or any opportunity that promises an exorbitant salary with minimal amount of work. But some of the ones out there seem actually legit.
My wife received a flyer for a opportunity with her care gift from the hospital. Its for medical transcription I believe. Judging by the flyer it looked fairly ledgit so my wife checked into it. Basically using a home computer and internet connection bills are entered for different medical practices such as doctor’s offices and dentists. Commissioned based obviously and if you know how to type and work 40 hrs a week a 40k salary is achievable. Sounds great right? Then we find out that there is a $1,200.00 fee for the necessary training to do this and a big warning siren went off in my head. Now I am all for getting certifications and what not, but I don't want to get roped into spending that kind of money on something that will produce no fruit.
So does anyone out there know of a work from home program that is working out well for them?
Anyone know of a good resource that we can research these opportunities?
Or is there a good resource to inform us of which ones to avoid?

All good suggestions you have received. Except, don't rule out network marketing. True, it's not for everybody. But if you ask the right questions and do some homework, you'll find that some are truly legit. For example, Amway is probably one of the most difficult ones to have any success with, but people love it. You have to really work it though. A better example is Tahitian Noni. 4th fastest growing company behind Google, Federal Express, and Intel. You just have to do some research. But for minimal startup costs of actually owning your own business, you can't beat it. Keep in mind, if a true "home business" is going to be free, you'll likely get what you put into it. Nothing. If there is a slight investment that might put a little hit on your pocket, you will likely work at it a little more to make it work. If you want an example of what a little effort can get you, check out my link above. If not, check into some others. But nothing is free if you are in business for yourself. Good luck!

Yes. I currently work from home and enjoy it thoroughly. I recently looked into other WFH opportunities and found that any ops that involve a fee are bogus. Larger legit companies are offering more work from home ops though. It allows them to reduce energy costs. I would look into "inside sales" positions and ask if work from home is an option.

There's a lot of scams out there. Even Craigslist has posted warnings about "work from home" opportunities. They try to steal your identity/address.
The legit ones are good, but they're never as easy as it first sounds. They kinda rope you in with their dramatic statements, but then as you dig more into it, you see the fine print: these start-up fees. or maybe it's commission-based only. Either way, you have to put in a lot of time and/or money to get things going. If it were that easy, everyone would do it.
