Hi Everyone! I know there are numerous ways to make money online from home, but most places out there are scams. Of course there are the freelancing jobs, blogging, posting photos, writing articles, etc... But what I am looking for is doing something like data entry. I have been looking on and off for a job like that to where I don't even have to leave my house. Do you know of any work from home jobs or websites that are not scams that also produce a decent and steady flow of income? I am willing to put in the time and the efforts, but my mind is all over the place because I don't know what is good and what isn't. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :) lol

Pretty much the ones that you listed are the more promising when working from home. Sadly though most online jobs that are data work from home are scams. The main tip that I give people is to research every company before joining and you should never have to pay a company to work for them. Both me and my husband work from home now due to layoffs in our area, but if it was not for our savings then we would be in a lot of trouble. We do the typical things like blogging and writing articles for different websites and magazines. The sad thing is though that between the two of us we only make about 300.00 doing so and for a family of 4 that is not a lot of money. Just keep an eye out for different companies that are hiring work from home employees, but also research the company to see if they are a scam. You can check with any BBB to find out about the company and what complaints the have against them.

No problem. I try really hard to find work on different sites, but it looks like I have to settle for smaller things. I post here, work on mturk, and write on multiple sites. It can get confusing what I am doing when, but since we are living off our savings now any income is good no matter how small.

Yes, that is true. There are so many scams out there for data entry that's why I try to see who is doing it so that they can give me legitimate references as to how to go about it. I'm leary of certain sites too and I always make sure I read reviews about them before I sign up due to the fact that there are false promises to earn a steady cash flow online. Thanks so much for your response! :)

Well I've heard about this site called protypers...their rates are different every hour,however , I've read through some blogs and did some research and there's not much complaint about this site...some did get banned and called it a scam but once they contacted the support about it,they are able to resume work. I've been wanting to sign up myself but I haven't had much time to do data entry jobs...:(

There are several ways from which you can earn from online. If you are interested in typing there blogs may suits you. Through blogging we could make a descent earning if we have more impressions. There are many other. We should be very careful while selecting the appropriate one. Some of them are scams.

Blogging is on my list. But I feel as if I can only write so much about certain things. So I would like to change it up a bit. Thanks for commenting! :)
