Avoid companies that charge an excessive initial fee.
The point of working at home is to have someone pay you, not for you to pay someone else. If someone is offering a legitimate work at home job, they're not likely to ask you to pay for the opportunity. Avoid offers asking for you to pay for 'secrets' on how to work at home and make tons of money and focus on companies that don't charge any fees. Note: Some companies may charge a nominal fee for a background check, office equipment ( foot pedal or headphones), etc. but this is rare and you should only be charged AFTER you pass the initial screening and they are interested in your qualifications. In addition, the cost should be relatively inexpensive.

Beware of MLM and Get Rich Quick Schemes.
Offers that are MLM-related (multi level marketing) may be great for some people, but if you're looking to get paid a flat amount for definite work, these offers are probably not for you. MLM opportunities often only pay if you're willing to work hours and hours each day with no guarantee of pay - and if you're lucky enough to land sales.
Beware if you see promises that you'll make thousands and thousands of dollars every week as soon as you start. Most scam free work at home jobs don't pay that much - and even if they pay really well, you're not likely to become filthy rich overnight. Use your common sense when searching for scam free work at home jobs. If you do that, you can easily avoid work at home scams.
