Most legitimate work from home jobs are the ones you make yourself. You should not have to pay anyone to work at home. That is the first sign that it is probably a scam and that you will not make any money.

Hi Sam.
There some good legit businesses around, but you need to do some research as to if they deliver what they promise.
I am involved in a program that will give a life-time income. I guess you have been bombarded with a number of 'opportunities' and each saying this is the best. Could I so bold and throw another into the ring for you to look at.
Contact me at:
petero@ozzinet.net
I'll send you the link to an Internet based program. It does deliver on it's promises.
Cheers, Peter

Sam,
My mother has the same problem. I understand what she is going through, because I see my mother battle with this every day. She is disabled and has been refused social security 4 times. There are legit ways to make money online. A lot of people are very skeptical, because there are so many scams ( I was the victim of one a couple of months ago) Feel free to check out my blog and a couple of other sites I have posted. When visiting my blog if you have any questions about anythig feel free to leave a comment and I will reply. My mother is also doing what I do. She has only been doing it for a couple of months, but has made pretty good money. The other sites I have listed are books I highly recommend. You are a wonderful daughter to be helping your mother.

She can have her own business depending on her abilities. Maybe watching older kids after school or summers. Parents don't want to leave kids home alone and watching those over about 8 is easy. If she can teach maybe tutoring or piano lessons. If she is a bookkeeper she can do bookkeeping in the home. If she can design websites she can do that from home.
She needs to look to see what skills she has. What did she do for a living before?

Lots of people are starting to open ebay shops at home to
sell for others. Also my wife is disabled and went these card
making classes, and spends most of her time making cards
at home to sell at the craft shows. During the summer, work
on Thanksgiving and Christmas Cards and New Years. In the
winter months, work on birthdays, weddings, anniversary's,
and Easter. After that work on the proms, graduation, new
jobs, bonn voyage and retirement. A lot of people are into
buying these cards because they are home crafted, rather
than store bought. It takes an initial investment to get set up.
As you make the cards, you need to invest in the tools and materials to start and you will sell well at the craft shows :-})

I have started a home-based business with a Christian and family oriented company. If she would be interested in finding out more details call my toll free number 1-800-839-7593 and after the recording which lasts only a couple of minutes, leave me a message with the name and phone number by which I can call her and I would be happy to see if she would be interested.

What is your mom interested in doing? There are real opportunities to work online. Just be careful about the scams. I never pay to work at home.I research all the programs before I join. You can use the bbb or rip off report. You can also do a search engine on the program and see what is being said about it. IF you need anymore information feel free to contact me

For some great extra cash try taking paid online surveys. check out http://www.survey-search.blogspot.com for an awsome list of only paying survey companies that are all free to join. I've also posted proof of payments.
Or visit http://www.work-at-home-forum.com for great ideas.
Good Luck!

sam-
tell her or go buy the magazine success from home - volume 3
issue 6 - it has real stories, real people and real company ideas - she may have to invest a little (under $50)
to make a lot -
Most of the links offered here may be legit but not enough for her to live off of.
Her best bet is sales - or auctions - good luck.

I know of plenty. I work at home because my daughter is disabled so I know your mother could do it if she likes the computer.
The links are in my profile and there are lots of different kinds so there should be something she likes.
All are 100% legitimate and scam free-or they don't go on my sites.
Best Wishes,
Alicia
