You should be able to select from a variety of possible lucrative and legal work from home positions. Some of these positions require that you work full-time and they do offer benefits. Also, I will be updating links to various work-at-home sites that I feel might be legitimate. Do your own research!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • A home computer
  • High-speed internet connection
  • A land line phone
  • unlimited local and long-distance calling
  • Headset with earphones (Some jobs require this)
  • Good speaking voice (Some jobs require this)

Step1
Get pen and paper ready in order to write down any information associated with a desired position. Example: email address, contact phone numbers, computer requirements, account sign-in name and password, etc.
Step2
Go to these web sites and browse the offerings. Be prepared to spend some time evaluating and carefully reading the requirements. Simply cut and paste the web sites into your browser.

Step3
Contact the companies which interest you and allow 4-6 weeks reply time for some of the replies. Be sure to write down any pertinent information for future reference. Happy job hunting!

Tips & Warnings

  • Be sure that you match your skills to job skills required.
  • Make sure that it is something that you both enjoy doing and something for which you have adequate time to commit.
  • Don't be put-off by slow replies. Most companies are answering on a first come first answered basis and some are answering thousands of requests for information.
  • Do make sure that you are applying to a reputable company.
  • Most won't ask for a start-up fee
  • It should not cost anything to join
  • You should not be asked for sensitive information
  • Be careful regarding the sharing of your social security number.
