If you're looking for a work from home JOB (not a home based business), there are lots of companies who hire for call center type positions. And don't listen to the nay-sayers who say work from home and telecommuting jobs are all scams or that there aren't real jobs. There are. You just have to know where to look and how to avoid the scams.

Do NOT pay for a list of jobs or pay to get a job. There are a few of the legitimate companies that, after you have qualified for the job, ask you to pay for a background check if you will be handling sensitive information like credit cards. It's usually $20-$30 and from legitimate companies is a legit fee to pay. Other than that, there is no reason or need to pay anything if you just want a job. Some of the call center jobs, you are an independent contractor (IC) and some you are an employee.

If you want to start a home based business, there will be fees involved and business expenses. There are many legit business opportunities out there in direct sales, multi-level and network marketing. There are great companies to work with, but having a business isn't for everyone.

For info on jobs, you can check out this comparison chart from RatRaceRebellion.com - it shows a huge list of companies, their requirements, pay, where they are etc. http://www.ratracerebellion.com/CS_Compa…

Also, check out the telecommuting forums at WAHM.com and WorkPlaceLikeHome.com

    Hello
    I am a customer service rep and I work from home. I know of a web site that is very informative and it is www.theratracerebellion.com they have many opportunites listed on their site. They only list legitimate companies and they do check them out prior to putting them on their site. They also show you which companies hire you as a employee and which ones hire you as an independent contractor. (Independent contractors are considered self employed and you will have to pay self employment taxes) Hope this helps
