Quoted: Are'nt those things usually scams? I would love to save money and do stuff at home, but everyone thats shown up in a local paper has turned out to be some flavor of scam after some quick research online. There are lots of scams, but also lots of legit jobs. I won't post anything here that looks like a scam. I'm also going to highlight jobs that I can recommend, either through experience or research, as extremely safe. For instance, you don't really have to worry about Apple or American Express giving you a phone job and not getting paid for it  .The easiest way to tell if something is a scam is to ask yourself 'Am I really going to be doing something?'. If you're going to be answering phones, making outbound calls, writing articles, etc... then you're a lot safer than something that promises money for 'Virtually NO Work!!!'.

do not look for "at home jobs", they are targeted for lazy people and pay shit. Instead look for "rural jobs" "telecomute job", and look at people that are able to live outside the city and what do they do. Writers, programmers...creators of content or products in general.

Quoted: Quoted: I opened an Amazon store. The trick is finding a product that will sell profitably. It's a lot easier than building your own e-commerce website and unless you're the manufacturer it's a lot easier to get hits on Amazon than on your own site. The fees are a lot lower than on eBay. Ya, Amazon store looks like a nice gig. I looked into it a while ago, but I could not figure out the fees for the Amazon fulfillment for the product I had in mind. They don't make that part easy  I'm still working on something, but w/o the Amazon fulfillment...just dropped shipped. Speed For non-FBA it's a straight $39.99/month + a percentage of gross. The percentage varies by department. 99% of what I sell has an 8% fee attached to it. Drop shipping would be awesome if you can do it - that way you're not spending a ton of your money on inventory up front. If you have the cash and are willing to spend it on inventory you should be able to use the FBA calculator to determine FBA fees. FBA fees are going up on 2/18/13. |

I know when most people think "work at home" they think sitting in front of a computer. However, I am a professional auto detailer and can tell you that there is very good side income ability from auto detailing. I know many guys on some of the professional detailing forums that make anywhere from 250-1000 a week part time, mostly on weekends. You need to do some serious research in learning the craft of high end detailing, do some practice, then start posting some ads on craigslist, local car forums, even get a simple free website and place it on Google Places.
I know this is a little off the beaten path, but if you don't mind working with your hands it can be a nice income earner part time. Full time detailing is a whole different beast however, do not be confused. My website is www.visualprodetailing.com, if anyone doubts I am who I say I am. :) |

I remember reading about a woman in Northern CA who lost her job, so she took her spray bottle and a few rags and started selling cleaning services part-time on Craigslist or something like that. Within a year she had 4 or 5 employees working full-time. It just happened to be something the area wanted at a price it was willing to pay. |

While I realize a lot of the jobs may not be super high paying, doing something from home may allow a lot of people to change where home is to a more affordable area and get away from the high priced metropolitan rat race.
Thanks for your insight OP. |

Thanks for your insight OP. Yeah, the savings in gas, not eating out, not to mention the extra time for not having to commute, the benefits all add up. Or, extra income for whatever you want/need. One thing to note about the writing jobs is that it's possible to write 2-3 articles per hour. I have a sibling who does strictly writing, gets paid $15 for most articles, and does about 3 per hour... there are opportunities for decent pay.

I'd like to touch up on a little on how 1-800Flowers works, as, well it's kind of no secret around here they are my employer.
I was originally hired as a seasonal temp to work Valentine's Day. The work was 6 days a week, 8-10 hours a day doing customer service and sales calls. However, probability is great, like in my case, that you'll be hired full time. Then you work 5 days a week, with 2 off. Pay starts at $9/hour, going up to $9.27/hour. Other opportunities to advance are available(such as being a trainer to train new agents, which is what I want to do) and also to be a manager for the holiday agents. Some people get to work holidays and then get hired on, some eventually make "core" or full-time like I did. |

I work from home. I am a CPA with my own work, but I am also employed with a software maker. I manage a team of CPAs, EAs, and Attorneys.

I do medical transcription at home. One of my accounts pays me an average of $13 an hour and the other is over $25 (pay is based on production). I could literally work from anywhere on the planet that has reliable Internet access and an electrical outlet for my laptop.
You wouldn't start at that wage, I have years of experience. I do it as an independent contractor but there are employee positions with benefits available too. There are lots of jobs if you have experience. Getting the first job can be tricky but it can be done. There are schools that will train you and can also help you get your first job. They vary in quality, do your homework before you spend your money. Some community colleges or adult ed programs teach it too, they are very inexpensive.

I did med trans for many years. Being able to work at home and have a flexible schedule kept me employed for probably an extra five years as compared to the getting up every day and going to the workplace. I finally did have to stop working mainly because the rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmunes I have slowed me down and I could not meet the minimum line count every day. Also the company I was working for was sold out and they started really dicking with the system and making it very hard to work (MQ -- the CTD of the transcription world). So I said enough. I still miss my old accounts. I also had a really great local account, but they decided to close the office. If I ever get on a treatment regimen that does not include a lot of side effects, I may try to get back into it. I just don't have the speed or stamina anymore for sustained typing for hours like I used to do. |

"I don't want to look like a weirdo. I'll just go with the muumuu." Thanks. I have a lot more to address, just that my personal work is keeping me too busy for any serious side-work atm. Stuff like this has been really useful in my family. I have a sister who couldn't support herself, too many health problems that kept her from a traditional job, but she can support herself fully just by writing articles. At first most of her writing was for up-front pay, now about half her income is residual, and she only works around 3 hours a day. I helped pay for college with affiliate marketing, there were about 100 jobs in a town with 3,000 college students.
