I hear so many people say "oh I work online". I wonder if there are really any legit jobs where you can work online and from home and get paid. And I mean a real job. Not I draw a check off the government and that pays my bills so I do surveys and call that my job to have some extra spending money.
I have a full time job but would love to quit and be able to work online. Most of the things I have found thru google searches seem to be nothing but scams. Or they are just flat out lies. Kind of like sites like this one that say you can make thousands of dollars a day working for 20 minutes. ::)

i would love to work online..but like you..how many are legit...

I have a friend in Scottsdale AZ who sits at home and plays games and makes 80K a year working from home for CVS , as a system admin. And watchdog. But he has worked for them for 20 plus years now. He used to be at a office but I guess its more cost effective to have some of their people work at home.
-
You really have to check out those ads thoroughly as most of them ae scams. There are more and more legitimate companies that will allow you to work from home.
-
Have to agree with you countrygirl, most work at home jobs are scams, or you can make money, but no where near enough to live on.

I work at a huge financial entity, fraud and money laundering investigation, that allows us to work from home two days a week. Thirty percent of our staff works from home every day, attends meetings via Skype, and communicates via instant messaging and e-mails. I have the option to work from home every day but there are tasks, related to my job, that are conducted more safely from the mother ship (lol). My second job is done completely from the confines of home. I put in thirty five to fifty hours a week underwriting tranches of mortgage loans for prospective buyers. Working from home loses it's glory after awhile but I find myself to be much more productive with out the seemingly constant intrusions from people who want to talk about sports or Holiday parties. I save time by not driving/getting cleaned up as well.

Jobs like that are hard to get. There was someone local who got a job doing medical transcription from home but I found out she had worked in the ER for over 20 years. And I live in a small town so there are not an abundance of medical transcription jobs. Actually pretty near none. No doctors carry around tape recorders any more. I saw one that one time he was doing that. Now they carry their laptop around with them and enter the into in right then and it goes into the BIG system that is accessed every where in the US.

To be honest I think he is a huge flirt, but a great worker and the company is better off with him at home rather than getting sued. I take it you'd love to work from home but just have not found the right deal to keep you there. Would be great if we got the real money our panels get for us doing the surveys !

I do not know how to find those companies. I know companies like ATT have remote operators for tech support. I know a girl that use to do that. There was a company I saw online advertised recently but you had to be available weekends, nights, and holidays. Yeah you work from home but you still cannot enjoy that time with your family.
Have to agree with you countrygirl, most work at home jobs are scams, or you can make money, but no where near enough to live on.
Right. I can do decent doing stuff like this site online or testing that pays fairly well but I could not live on it. Usually the only people who get rich on those things are the ones hosting the scam. There are people who have quit their job and started their own business and been really successful but I would have no idea what to do. And where I live people are extremely jealous and will do every thing they can do cause others problems or if you do start something and you are the only one doing it 10 more people will copy you and then you can't get enough business.

I do not think I would ever get tired of working from home. The more I am in public the more I dislike people and being around them. I would love to do something where I could do live chat. lol. I do not have too much of a problem with people wanting to talk sports or holiday parties. I have more of an issue of feeling like I am in prison working in a building with NO windows and a tenth of a mile walk to even be able to look outside. Then you have the gossip and people who do things solely to try to make me mad or irritate me. Constant tattling and people who are so jealous it is sickening. And the truth of the matter is there is absolutely nothing there to be jealous of.

There are legitimate work at home jobs that are mostly customer service\call center type of things for major companies. Some of them are full time with benefits. I hate talking on the phone and am not guaranteed a quiet home environment so I couldn't do them anyway. The nonphone options are harder to get
-
I agree with you, you can't be to careful with what they offer online as a job.
-
Most are scams and the rest don't pay a living wage, just pocket change.

That or just a way to make money on my own. Work for myself. I would absolutely love that. I am really unhappy at my current job. It is close to home and the pay is pretty good but I do not like it. Sometimes I do really good on these sites but not enough to pay my bills. haha
I met a woman at the vet's office a while back and she said oh I work from home. Next time somebody says that I am gonna ask a bunch of questions and if they can't give me real answers I may call them on their BS. haha

I have seen that a lot. One that I saw the other day you had to be available for nights, weekends, and holidays. I like things like this because I can do what I need to do and go about my day and do this in my spare time. I have been off this week and it is awesome.
I have dedicated quite space in my home but I don't want to talk on the phone all day and I am not going to be good and being nice to people who call me cursing because something doesn't work. It is not the fault of the person answering the phone. And for the record you can get a lot farther if you are nice. I contacted customer service with a company a couple days ago because I had a question about an order I had just placed. I mentioned something I done that was a mistake on my part totally. I was really nice and he was too. I had just placed the order and he went in and changed my shipping status to ONE day FREE shipping. He didn't have to do that. But being nice helped me.
I use to work in a customer service job and we had the ability to discount some things. You are a huge butt to me I won't do anything to help you. But if you are nice you may get a discount just for being nice. lol

I don't understand that with so many people claiming to work "online". What the heck are they all doing?
-
I've checked into a few "work from home" ads but when I've seen you have to buy some kind of kit, list or whatever I just close my browser. Its a shame there are so many scams out there.
-
I believe it's very rare to find something legit but I certainly would like to do it maybe a couple days a week. I have no intention of buying anything for this.

I have a co-worker who knows I am looking for a job and she told me about a site her boyfriend had joined. She says you pay x amount of money a month and they tell you about jobs in your area. I told her I was not paying money to any site to tell me about jobs in my area that are listed for FREE other places. She got mad and rolled her eyes and huffed. One of the reasons I want out of where I am. lol

I am not paying money to any site to tell me about how to make money online. Most of it is just BS and double talk and basically sites like this one. The only person making money is the ones selling the info.
-

Oh home jobs,was thinking of something else. Fusion Cash is considered working online whether you make a lil or a lot.
-
There was a time when I "worked online" - it really was absurd. I spent every waking moment with a laptop in front of me... registered w/200+sites. I would leave the apartment for appointments for kids, grocery shopping and church. Other than that I was "working". Living paycheck to paycheck was an understatement. It wasn't good for me physically or mentally. I know people who now work from home too - but they have been with X company for many years. I still work from home. Not just survey sites. But also my own little side bakery gig. However I'm also working full time where the consistent bread and butter flows from.
-
I believe there are, but I think a lot of these jobs are involved in talking to people on the phone, which I'm not interested in but if you are I think you can find something legit with further research.
-
I don't believe in the ones that say you can make an insane amount in a short time. The next time someone says they work online ask exactly what they do.

Oh there are real jobs out there that pay you all right... about 2 months ago I was working as a chat text expert and made $5000 in 2 months and then they changed the pay rate and then I was making $1000 per month, still good but $2500 per month was better! lol ... I was with them for 7 glorious months and then they canned me because of unsatisfied customers (not towards me ) against the company I was assisting with. They took it out on the techs and the techs had to maintain a perfect customer satisfaction rating. I really wish they took me back,...oh well. lol ... AND this was extra income on top of my FULL TIME job! :)

Doesn't matter if you live in a small town. it does matter if you are experienced in Medical Transcription. I did it for 20 years. I took a course, got a job at the local hospital for 4 months but had to leave because my mom fell and broke her hip. So i got a job with a national company doing MT plus I worked for a local patent and trademark attorney and also picked up independent doctors AND the local hospital that I had to leave. I did okay being paid by the line and full benefits, but national companies siphon the life out of you and not a good place to go anymore. i used to make big bucks and then they started outsourcing to Pakistan, India, and other 3rd world countries because they were cheap labor. So our wages went down to 2-4 cents a line. Just not worth it especially when they sent the work out and you were left with crap or nothing. There were days I sat my whole shift doing nothing except checking for jobs. I was a workaholic, worked 7 days a week, at least 12 hours a day, sometimes longer. Loved every minute of it. When I wound up with my sarcoma, everything went down the drain. i had my P&T attorney of 28 years and my one doc of 17 who stood by me and waited for me to get back in shape. Lost everything else.
There are other jobs out there where you can work at home but you have to be very careful. Amazon Mechanical Turk is a place where you bid on jobs to do. WAHM has some base jobs but you have to be careful there, too. I don't bother anymore. No one wants to hire someone who has been out of work for 8 years. I keep looking but nothing happens. Don't care much but miss that great money. :)

That is because of Obama's law. They had to start doing it via laptop themselves or PA's doing it. Doctors were given an incentive rebates for the special programs that were available and docs were forced to use instead of dictating. If they didn't switch within a certain amount of years, they would lose that rebate and be forced to pay full price for the program. The programs were more like a multiple choice questionnaire and very rigid. You couldn't add extra info to it and I don't know any doctor that really likes it.
-
Trying to find a legit company in which you could work online from home is very scarce. So many of them are scams or they want you to pay them in order to work for them. Are they out of their minds?
-
There may be, but I have never run across any; most of them seem like scams indicating that you can make outrageous amount of money in a day or week! my motto is if it sounds to good to be true then it is not. I think the only way would be if someone is perhaps with a business and they do tele commute work from home at times; or maybe some of the call center jobs might be viable for some; but for me who already wears hearing aids don't think they would be a good fit for me.
-
I certainly understand. I always feel like if you have to pay for it then it may not be legit.
I've checked into a few "work from home" ads but when I've seen you have to buy some kind of kit, list or whatever I just close my browser. Its a shame there are so many scams out there.
-
No you will not make a fortune on this kind of "work" online. I don't know if some of the ones advertised are legit or not. I haven't pursued any of them.

Working online is a great option that really should become more of a facet of companies given the net and the telecommunication capabilities of the modern world. It cuts down overhead for the company, allows the workers to be more productive, saves gas money. It's just all around good. I think some companies hesitate to do it though, afraid their workers will goof off, but in my experience the ones who work from home are at least as hard working because they have to show results.

MOST jobs require a real person to be in a physical location. Factory work requires a person to be there to run the machines. Customer service requires people to be there to do the job. You cannot do those jobs from home. Actually very few jobs can be done from home.
I had a neighbor a few years ago that got fired from her job and rather than admit that she told me that her boss is letting her "download" her work and do it at home. She was the receptionist that sat at the front desk and answered the phone. I never called her on her BS but now I sure wish I had of.
I doubt people would "goof off' at home any more than they do at work.

Here is the thing, sites like this is not 'working' it is playing on the internet. I do several sites like this but would never call this a job. Sites like this is not having a job. You may spend 2 hours trying to do surveys and other stupid stuff and make less than 50 cents.
-
working online is a good way making money and spend more time with your children
-
I think any online or work from home jobs you might be thinking of would be people who own their own business so it requires a lot of leg work and initiative
-
I hear this kind of thing a lot and in a way it makes me laugh and in a way it upsets me. There is one simple way that you can make money online, or offline for that matter, and you are in control of how much you make. I'm not talking a little extra money. I'm talking about full time income and as much as you can really imagine. NETWORK MARKETING!!

:rose: :rainbow: :rose: I know of some people that have an office type job that they can work from home as long as they have internet and computer. Jobs like that do exist but you have to find the right company to do this from. :rose: :rainbow: :rose:

No, there are actually jobs where you work totally online. I would be just as happy working "from home". But I do not know how to make enough money at home. Like someone said a few posts ago, she spends every waking moment on sites like this trying to make some money. I do not want to work 80 hours a week for $10. I actually was offered a job where I would work online but it was only 20 hours a week. And they wanted access to everything on my computer, on my cell phone, and access to the contents of my emails and my text messages. And before you scream SCAM it IS a legit company and I know a woman who has worked there for over 8 years. I wasn't willing to agree to the terms of service so I basically turned it down.
There are work from home jobs that are real but seems people are reluctant to tell you the truth. I don't know if they are afraid you will take their job or money from them or what. Like I said, next time I hear somebody say that I am going to ask a lot of questions and if they can't come across with some real answers I will probably call them a liar. lol

Well since I do not know what NETWORK MARKETING is or how to do it that is basically useless information. If it is anything like the affiliate link thing then I would say it is bogus. I had talked to someone who was trying to tell me that all he does is posts affiliate links on websites for 20 minutes a day about 3 days a week and he makes THOUSANDS of dollars a week. I called him a liar to his face. I explained that I had set up more than one website and that no random person can come along and post their links on MY site. So saying I just go around on the internet posting my links on people's website is a lie. For some reason he no longer wanted to talk to me. lol

You really should post your comments in a darker pink. This is really hard to read. :D
You have to already have a relationship with the company. Would also depend I guess on where you live. I live in a small town. You are lucky if you can find a full time job that pays over $7.25 an hour. Let alone finding something like this. I know it exists. I know ATT a lot of their operators work from home. But they have to be hiring in your area and I am not sure you can just start out from home. The girl I knew who done it had been with them for a really long time.

Thank you FusionCash :heart: (I) found this site many years ago, I try to tell about this site and they give me the- :glasses-nerdy:-look lol so it is mine all mine they don't even know how much money I have made. :notworthy:
-
working online is a great start it can help with good amount of income
-
Does completing surveys online with Fusion the same as working online? What do you think? :moneymouth:
-
I get emails from MoneyMakingMomma.com. Seems legit.
:rose:
-
I don't really think there are true work from home jobs that you can give up your daily job. I mean to make a good salary I mean. I do think there are several legit sites to make extra money.
-

No. I do not consider that working online. Or rather, I do not consider that a job. I need a real job. The little amount I make on these sites will not support me. I want a real job that is either something I can do from home (no not stuffing envelopes) or online.
-

I think there are some out there. Probably just really hard to get. The extra money does help a lot. And I have done good overall on this site. I have tried to refer people. I don't know if they just join on their own and don't use my link or what. I have 2. And neither of them do anything. One done nothing more than just join.
I also know people who would not join thru the referral link because they would not want me to make any money from them. Even though the money I made would not come from their earnings. I would get money from their efforts (ie the $5 when they cash out) so they wouldn't use the referral link.

https:// peterdobias.com/ pages/dog-loving-customer-care-job here is a link to a online job you have to close the gaps to make it work is sounds pretty neat ! didn't want to make the link and get in trouble let me know you have it and i'll trash this message

Honestly you kind of explained where me thoughts came from. What I am talking about is nothing like what you mentioned. Network marketing, or Multi Level Marketing. If you seriously haven't heard about this, you should really take some time and at least look into what it's all about. The industry has created more millionaires than any other industry in the world.
-
I worked my butt off for a Multi Level Marketing company in the 80's for 6 years and when my dad died and while I was taking time for family business, the owner of the companies latest super stars under mined my whole down line. I was the very first person to have Arbonne Skin Care in the Mid-west I was made a area Manager in Las Vegas at a convention and was weeks away from getting a company car! I got screwed royal... GET every thing in writing for if you get sick or some one dies and you need time off . My 6 years counted for NOTHING and i ended up with nothing because i needed 8 weeks to tend to a death.
-
sbenkoski - I wrote the link down. I didn't know you could delete your own posts. haha. You won't get in trouble for that. The only thing you get in trouble for is if you post referral links to other sites. And apparently you don't get in trouble for that since there are a ton of them on here from time to time and they never get deleted.

I am not sure I am understanding. Were YOU sick and needed off or you needed off 8 weeks because of your father's death? That is a long time. I don't know of any company that will let you off that long because of the death of a family member. Maybe if you work for a company that has that FMLA. I have never had that so I am not familiar with what all it covers.
It is hard to get things in writing as well. I am currently looking for another job. I had thought about that. But what do you do when they say you will get paid this amount ... say oh excuse me but can I get that in writing? But I seriously had thought about that. How would you word it? Just so we are on the same page can I get a job offer in writing stating the hours and rate of pay? Not trying to be smart but in the past there have been misunderstandings and I just want to make sure we are clear on what I am being offered? That doesn't sound too bad does it? lol
I would still love to work for myself.

The point was I have no idea what network marketing is or multi level marketing. Do not even know how to go about starting in finding out. The point was people say the affiliate links will make you thousands of dollars a week and all you do it post links on other people's websites for 20 minutes a day a few days a week. Which is complete BS. But anyway. I can't see if being something I can just do tomorrow and make millions of dollars. I will google network marketing and see what turns up.

I appreciate fusion cash and a couple of other sites that I am able to earn some spending money or maybe even help out here and there with small bills or food but I tried for years to find actual work online to earn significant money but no was never successful. Now my sons found some online work a couple of years back but it was hard and even at that didn't add up to enough to live on.

That is what I need to accept. I can make a little on here and other sites to supplement my income but I need to accept working from home or online probably will never happen :( I have done things like this for years as well. I do better today than I have in the past but I think there are more sites and more ways to earn now than there use to be.

I worked my butt off for a Multi Level Marketing company in the 80's for 6 years and when my dad died and while I was taking time for family business, the owner of the companies latest super stars under mined my whole down line. I was the very first person to have Arbonne Skin Care in the Mid-west I was made a area Manager in Las Vegas at a convention and was weeks away from getting a company car! I got screwed royal... GET every thing in writing for if you get sick or some one dies and you need time off . My 6 years counted for NOTHING and i ended up with nothing because i needed 8 weeks to tend to a death.
I do hate to hear your story. I hope don't hold it against the entire industry. There are bad people and bad companies in every industry. The one great thing that comes from success in network marketing...If you can build it once, you can build it again. But without a doubt, I can understand you being upset over that situation.

I hear this kind of thing a lot and in a way it makes me laugh and in a way it upsets me. There is one simple way that you can make money online, or offline for that matter, and you are in control of how much you make. I'm not talking a little extra money. I'm talking about full time income and as much as you can really imagine. NETWORK MARKETING!!
Well since I do not know what NETWORK MARKETING is or how to do it that is basically useless information. If it is anything like the affiliate link thing then I would say it is bogus. I had talked to someone who was trying to tell me that all he does is posts affiliate links on websites for 20 minutes a day about 3 days a week and he makes THOUSANDS of dollars a week. I called him a liar to his face. I explained that I had set up more than one website and that no random person can come along and post their links on MY site. So saying I just go around on the internet posting my links on people's website is a lie. For some reason he no longer wanted to talk to me. lol
Honestly you kind of explained where me thoughts came from. What I am talking about is nothing like what you mentioned. Network marketing, or Multi Level Marketing. If you seriously haven't heard about this, you should really take some time and at least look into what it's all about. The industry has created more millionaires than any other industry in the world.

I hear ya. If anyone every tells you you can do something in a day and make millions...run. If they say, easy money, run.
Briefly, instead of a company spending millions to advertise and market their product or service, they allow individuals to become representatives who can earn money by bringing in customers and other representatives. So you do something and get paid for it month after month. Take enough action and you can build it into a good size check. And you get paid for the efforts of others and not just yourself.

There are a lot of online jobs, but they aren't reliable, so i don't waste my time any more trying to find a work at home job.
-
There are some legit jobs out there. My niece works from home online, but I do not know exactly what she does, but that is her full time job and she makes well.,They are hard to find though. My niece is from Argentina and that is where she started her job, She is now in the US and they tranferred her over here with better pay and a promotion. :)

I am not sure I am understanding. Were YOU sick and needed off or you needed off 8 weeks because of your father's death? That is a long time. I don't know of any company that will let you off that long because of the death of a family member. Maybe if you work for a company that has that FMLA. I have never had that so I am not familiar with what all it covers.
It is hard to get things in writing as well. I am currently looking for another job. I had thought about that. But what do you do when they say you will get paid this amount ... say oh excuse me but can I get that in writing? But I seriously had thought about that. How would you word it? Just so we are on the same page can I get a job offer in writing stating the hours and rate of pay? Not trying to be smart but in the past there have been misunderstandings and I just want to make sure we are clear on what I am being offered? That doesn't sound too bad does it? lol
I would still love to work for myself.
It was like selling Avon or Mary Kay I don't think they can force people to have set hours... I wasn't getting a pay check i was getting a % of my sales . And a cut off my recruits sales. I'd have understood if they were sending me a paycheck ! But the people they set to help me (so they said ) Had no mind to help any one but themselves !

Okay, I understand that. It is kind of like the affiliate marketing. You have a link that you promote and when people use your link to purchase something you get a percentage of that sale.
You have to have a way to promote it though. I have my own website but I do not get near the traffic I would need to make money from an affiliate link. Although I maybe should check in to that and put a couple of my site and see if I can get any clicks. I do get hits on the site (or so the analytics thing on the host says I am getting hits lol) but not that many. I am not sure how to promote the site. I have promoted it on twitter and pinterest and even facebook a little. I am not sure how to get a site to give me an affiliate link either. lol. From what I have seen it can be a few pennies pay per 100 or 1000 clicks so that is going to take me til 100 years past the time I die to make anything worth bragging about. And fyi I brag about the little amount I make on here. lol

Ohhhh I understand. I heard about a lady here locally that was selling Mary Kay and she got a car because her sales were so high. No, that doesn't have set hours at all. I was thinking like a regular brick and mortar business where they need someone to actually be there. I live in a smaller town and there are already people who sell Avon and Stanley and stuff like that and they are established and people call them when they want something. But even that I don't see making enough money to support myself.
After a day like today I want or even NEED even more to be able to stay at home.
-
I know right!! I don't have the schedule to work a real job but I do have free time throughout the day!! Wish I could find a legit, well-paying job site :(
-
I wish there were more work from home jobs, it seems like it would be nice to work in the comfort of your own home.
-
To me, those online jobs are legit, they have you pay them to send you a list of jobs to work online, and its not a guarantee that you will get a job from that particular company.
-
One of my classmates has her resume posted on multiple websites and one site contacted her bout a job working from home, i believe it is customer service. She loved it at first, but she misses the contact with other people. But yes there are legit companies online.
-
Yes, their are 'at home' jobs out there that all you need is a computer. Some start out in a workplace then telemarketer from home. If you mean straight off the internet work, there are those too but you have to weed through hundreds of scams in order to find the ones that are legit.
-
I would love to work from home for extra money too but have also found a bunch of things online that all turn out to be scams. Good luck finding anything...if you do please share with us!

I would NOT miss the contact with other people. EVER! I am not comfortable posting my resume online. Too many scamsters that can get a grip on my info and there is usually enough info on a resume along with what you can get from a google search to ruin somebody.

I would live in a card board box and starve before I would be a telemarketer. There are even threads on here about how bad we all hate telemarketers. I am still saying they do not exist. People say oh they are out there you just have to find them. We so are winning lottery tickets but the chances of ME getting a million dollars from a lottery ticket are like below zero.

I don't want "extra money". I have that now. I want a JOB WHERE I WORK FROM HOME. A real job that allows me to work from my home and not have to get out and go to work some where for somebody else and be surrounded by idiots all day.
-
My mom actually spent money on one of the scams.
-
I don't think our world is in a place where we can make a living while working online at home. Our technology isn't advanced enough yet for that.
-
One of my dreams is to find a job that I can do from home. They are out there but they are not easy to find. The only ones I see a lot of are online teaching jobs. I am going to try to find a home based job this summer.
-
Love it if it's legit but you'd be lucky to not fall into a scam!
-
I hear so many people say "oh I work online". I wonder if there are really any legit jobs where you can work online and from home and get paid. And I mean a real job. Not I draw a check off the government and that pays my bills so I do surveys and call that my job to have some extra spending money.
I have a full time job but would love to quit and be able to work online. Most of the things I have found thru google searches seem to be nothing but scams. Or they are just flat out lies. Kind of like sites like this one that say you can make thousands of dollars a day working for 20 minutes. ::)
Hello! :D :)
There is real work at homes sites beside webcam and telephone jobs however they are just difficult to get. I'm working on my business while yes I make money nonetheless it's not enough to cover all my bills. Which is why I also work as a home health Aide to help support myself. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

It's not for everyone and you have to know the right places and right sites. I know people that make 3-4k a month just from 1 survey site... they are pros though, and since they did a lot of surveys and ptc etc, they also get access to more things and therefore it is easy for them....
There's lots of people who make money just sitting behind their pcs/// and they manage to have a monthly income, easy!
-
I sure wish I knew of some kind of online work. I am going stir crazy not working anymore. And the money on these sites just don't pay the bills. They are just a little play money,
-
oh i would love to find a work at home job myself...my husband does get disability and i dont work..so i would love to be able to get more money...but everything i have looked at are scams..and i would be happy with a hundred a week..just to put in savings and spend a little..
-
Try Active Network, you work from home depending on what state you live in. Pay not great but when you think about gas, wardrobe savings its worth a try.
-
I love working at home give me something to do
-
I can speak for myself.I am a health trainer and i work at home,online.I meet with my clients/friends online because they are everywhere in this world.
-
The only work I do online is fc and survey companies. You have to be careful while looking for work online. You must do your research
