In this world of Inernet, how many of us have really found a real / true work from home. I am not talking about the scams that can be easily found in the internet, which says; you can earn $1000 per day, etc...
Remember any work from home if they promise you can earn $10,000 etc in a month etc and also they request you to pay a membership fee of XX amount is not genuine...Why should some one pay to join a work ? simple...If those organizations are worried on the spamming, they can invent their own ways of filtering it ?
I want people who have found the real work from home jobs and have benefitted earnings from the genuine work from home to comment with the works and sites that they are working on ? Remember we dont want to hear the referrals and junk websites, which don't do anything, but sucks your time....
Cheers,
Subhi

There's a ton of ways to earn decent money - it really depends on what you want to do, what you can do, how much time you can commit and how much you want to earn. There's a beginner's guide in my profile that'll help with an overview of the basics and some resources.
If you're looking for more than a few dollars a week, you'll have to work for it - and that means investing (eww, horrid), affiliate marketing (not for me) or freelancing (that's what I do).
I don't know enough about the first two to be much help, apart from knowing that they can bring in a lot of cash if you work hard at them!
If you're looking at freelancing, there's a very good discussion about the bidding sites and a bunch of other ideas here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2554592.aspx
I'm a freelance writer/editor - if that's an area of interest to you, there's a great discussion which also points to other threads here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2551937.aspx
Hope it helps.

Hi Spike & Peavey,
That was useful in terms of what I was looking out for. Though I am a beginner aspiring to become a blog / content writer, I dont see more of chances in winning the bids in those auction sites ( as my experience will be nil). Can you suggest a better way to start with ?
Thanks, Subhi

Not really, unless you're willing to earn pennies for the first six months while you build up a stock of content on revenue share sites or blog content while you build up a decent amount of regular traffic.
The first bid is always the hardest to win on the freelance sites but there's NO reason you couldn't. You may have to take something that pays really badly (aim for fixed-term, fixed-amount jobs) to get some feedback but it's entirely possible.
The first job I took on Freelancer paid AWFUL pay (basically slave wages) for 4 weeks. But it got me great feedback and led to much better opportunities. Not a perfect start but hey, a possibility. It also left me time to write on rev share and so on, which opened other doors.

I know in the US that there are several legitimate work at home companies. Two of them are Teletech and West at Home. They hire customer service agents to take calls for some big companies like UPS and Home Depot. They only start at 10 dollars per hour but you get to work at home. I went through 2 interviews with Teletech for a part time position (they have both) but then the hours didn't mesh with my regular job so I turned it down.

I don't think many people have, just websites like these help make some extra cash. of course those sites, at least 99 percent of them, that promise you a thousand per day are scams and just try to make you invest all this money. their either complete scams or just nothing like they promise you it will be, or nothing like they seem. just put those websites out of your mind and focus on the websites that you know do pay, just build together all those websites those websites and the total will hopefully be a good chunk of change, most likely not enough to live on but for extra. the methods to make a living on are difficult to come by and you have to be original. I'm studying to be a medical transcriptionist online and I hope I get a job and can work at home.
