If you check actual job sites, you can find real jobs that let you telecommute and work from home.  Sites like this are a decent way to make some extra money to supplement a primary income, but I can't imagine making a living from this even if you spend all day on the computer.

As recent breast cancer suvivor have been looking for a way to work from home so I can work on good days and rest on one that i NEED TO.  I have found just looking for something time consumming and " a job" in itself.  I have seen many scams and it make me question how you can ensure that the work is actually for real.  Do companies post with the Better Bussiness Burea? :dontknow:

It depends. Are you looking for part-time income or do you want to create a home-based business. If you are looking to make extra money, then staying with gpt sites like FC and the like might be what you can do since there is no cost to sign up. If you are looking to start a business, that requires more effort and maybe a little cost (ex., putting up a web site), and also patience. There is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme. You have to put in the work. Find out what niche you may have an interest in and go from there.

The only legit way of working at home besides sites like FusionCash and not owning your own home business is working at a call center operator from your house. There are many, just google it and be wary of scams.

Most people can't work from home and support themselves. If you're not telecommuting direct from a company, it can be hard to find stable work. You can certainly earn a decent SIDE income working from home via freelancing, sites like FusionCash, etc.

My boyfriend supports himself working from home as a Japanese to English translator and made $85K last year.  Unless you have a professional skill like this, it's difficult to truly earn a living by working at home as opposed to just making some extra cash to buy extras.  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
