Another great way to make money online is to take paid surveys.There are a lot of companies that pay you to share your opinion.You simply answer questions about their products and services, and they pay you.A lot of people think that all paid surveys are scams.Actually that is not right.If you want to find quality and legitimate survey sites and start making money today, follow my tips.1)Join ONLY legitimate and free survey sites.You can find them on Google, but DON'T type broad keywords like "surveys", or "paid surveys".Instead, try something more specific, like "paid surveys with free registration" or "how to find legitimate surveys for money".That way you will find better results.2)NEVER share your credit card information or your SSN.3)Try to find more information about the survey companies you plan to join by typing "YourSurveyCompanyName" + scams, forums, review.That way you will find more information about every site, you are interested in.4)Join several free survey companies.That way you will make more money.Hope that helps.

My husband and I developed an iPhone app (KarPooler) to help busy moms organize the contact info for the drivers and passengers in all the carpools they might have for their children (i.e.: you have multiple children, child has various activities), so you can communicate and get organized without so much back-and-forth, or in case of an accident, emergency, etc. raise the flag and ask for help. It also has a feature called DropCheck so the driver in charge can let each parent know (by pressing a single button) that their child has been dropped off safely at whatever predetermined location they arranged.

I am a former college

I am a former college professor and have been working from home for 12 years and love it. This is an excellent article. As you can see, contrary to popular belief, there really are free, no scam work from home jobs out there. First, never ever pay for a job. If you are ever asked for a dime, it is either a scam or a "business opportunity" which is another name for mlm. It is extremely hard to make any money with mlms and I strongly suggest avoiding them. Second, if it sounds too good to be true, it is plain and simple. Unfortunately, no one makes $5000 a month for 5 hours of work. It just doesn't happen. Now that you have the rules, how do you find legitimate online work from home jobs? Well, this article is a great start. I also suggest a free website called the "Legitimate Online Job Directory" I created this free site specifically to show people that there really are hundreds of real, no scam, no mlm jobs posted every day. I hope this helps everyone out there! Welcome to the wonderful world of working from home! Anne Anderson Owner Legitimate Online Job Directory

There's tons of money to be made online. Yes, you must be wary of the scams but generating income from home is plausible. I personally generate income using this method... If you put a little in, you can get a lot out.

I'm a dietitian and do nutrition coaching. I have a private practice, but also do Skype and phone visits, too, which allow me to work from home with clients all over the US and abroad. Technology truly does provide us with alternative options to the typical job (such as the virtual professor & fitness coach!)

Great article. I am a former college professor and have been working from home now for 12 years. When you are looking for a home based job, I following 2 rules. First, never pay for a job, they should pay you. Next, if it sounds too good to be true, unfortuantely, it is. Very few people are going to earn $50 an hour doing data entry. It just doesn't happen. If you are looking for legitimate, free, no scam, no mlm work from home jobs, I highly recommend the Legitimate Online Job Directory at http://www.LegitimateOnlineJobDirectory.com. They have everything from entry level to executive work from home jobs and they are all legit. I hope this helps.

Alot of friends of mine started working at home by selling on ebay. They did that for a couple of years but then when all of the seller and final value fees jumped to 9% there was not much to the profits. So they searched for alternative sites to continue there quest and found a auction site simular to ebay but without the hefty fees. There using Directly Auction.com youe can sign up for free and either list items or open a online store. Check it out: www.directlyauction.com
