I am currently seeking employment from 6am -2pm M-F and someone suggested that I try a telecommute job. But, everywhere I look, it seems that all I find are these scams where you have to pay to earn an income or there is no guaranteed salary. I then saw the article on Good Morning America where they stated that there really is such a thing as a " for real" work at home job in the medical coding/billing field. I would be happy even answering phones or doing customer service work. AS LONG AS IT IS LEGITIMATE ! I am a stay at home mom currently running a small at home business and just want to increase my income. When I went to ABCnews.com they did not really give specifics as to where you would go to get legitimate information regarding this subject. Where do you go to find legitimate information regarding this? Does anyone actually do this for real and for what company?

My friend Since you already have a computer I would try this! I have been working for SFI for the last 2 months and have found that this site is safe and legit, I hated the scams that the Internet had to offer, I would tell you to also look into SFI for the possibilities of the check amount are endless, You get free resources on hand and there is hidden cost or charges toward you, in your resources you will find Free Flyer templates, E-cards, Websites that are already done for you, and your own on line store and you get to work your own hours! All this for free! who could ask for more? I use to be the type to say "If it sounds to good to be true, Then it is to good to be true!." This I have a wayward feeling on now that I have seen what SFI has done for me!, I wish you the best in your search for the right business opportunity but If I were you I would look into this one!

If you have a sales background, which it sounds like you do since you have a business, there are 1000s of companies that will let you sell on commission. I would approach companies that have a product that your existing clients would be interested in, if possible. I have done this as a contractor a number of times.
You could also be a virtual assistant, where people have you do data entry or clerical work that they either fax or mail you. There are a number of dictation services that pay ~$12-20/hr based upon how fast you can type and do the work.
Look in the local classifieds for work you feel you can do an propose to the company that you work from home. With technology the way it is, people can forward phones, emails, etc.
You might also offer services to the real estate community. They are very busy people that can use assistants.
There is also medical billing data entry.
You may need to do a little marketing up front, but you can probably find opportunities where you can prove yourself trustworthly enough to do hourly work without being seen. If you need some more help along these lines, you can contact me directly by email.

First of all, don't apply for any job that makes you pay anything. They are scams.
Second, don't click those links that have a "referer" in them. Those are pyramid schemes. They get paid by signing other people up for the same thing they signed up for.
I would check out wahm.com. This is a site for work at home moms. They list some various legitimate work at home job opportunities, plus there are forums there with many other work at home moms sharing their experiences.
Bottom line though, you're not going to make much if anything the first few weeks or months likely. If you have experience or training doing medical coding or transcription work like the other answerer said, that would help. Most of the jobs that don't require experience are basically sales or help desk type jobs. Those are legitimate, but still a little iffy to me. They do things like say you will be paid every day, but really it is just an advance against future earnings.
Good luck. If you have experience setting up a website or blog, I would look into advertising and affiliate programs like google adsense and amazon affiliates. But the site has to be pretty popular I believe before you earn anything significant.

Here's something to look into that's not a scam and it's a Proven Formula at http://www.mywayoutonline.com/ access code 108306! It is a new division of a billion-dollar international company that is listed on the New York Stock exchange. Keep in mind however, not all businesses are legit....but yet there are some out there that prey on those looking for a serious business.
Almost every business requires a start up fee because you're purchasing products or resources/business tools to get you started in your business. As with ANY business you look at, DO check them out with the BBB (better business bureau) for legitimacy, ratings, complaints and praises, etc. Get the book "The Business School" by Robert Kiyosaki and read about his cash flow quadrant and other ideas/suggestions about how to make it in your business. Zig Ziggler’s "Over the Top" is another excellent book as well!
Good luck on your endeavor!

Yes, it's called a Medical Transcriptionist. Just look it up on the net and you can probably find out more about it. You basically type up whatever the doctor has recorded. You have to learn alot of medical terminology though
