It's called telecommute. Some very large corporations actually do this. But there are a lot who are NOT big corporations with a problem of scams. Beware.

YES people can and do really work from home successfully.
But be cautious. If it sounds to good to be true it is? Or talk to the person and ask a lot of questions - network marketing can and does work despite some bad PR of years ago.
Sales is your best option - find a product you like and can speak about - and hope that there are not a lot of sales people doing it too in your area - that is your option -
Most data jobs take time and don't pay you what you deserve!
Pick up the magazine Success From Home or google the June addition -
Child Care
and Auctions/web store are your other alternatives.

Yes, but probably not. Normally people who work from home either set up their own business or they work at least some time in a base office that supervises them when they are spending hours in their home, usually on the phones or on a computer.
Consider, if you were running a business, whether you would rather have someone pay their own way to your cheap office to sit in a large empty room with a lot of tables and other people and put address on envelopes, etc., or would you pay shipping put the addresses and supplies in the mail for possible loss, to be put on the envelopes by whatever grubby fingers are at the other end to be sent off uncertainly at some vague time.

Be careful. A lot of so call work at home business are actually scam.
If you are serious about earning money through internet, I would rather you consider of setting up your own internet business instead. The investment cost is also rather low compared to others.
There are a lot of internet business models you could consider of (e.g. buying and selling domain names, affiliate marketing, auctions, selling digital or physical products, creating paid newsletter or websites and many more).
With a proper system setup and correct web marketing strategies, you could start to earn some passive income.

Yes you can, but I think generally you would be hired on through a company and then request to work at home.
Telus Mobility offers that along with Pizza Pizza I believe and probably some other companies that recieve a large incoming call volume.

yea i was wondering the same question...
and i browsed through some of the answers above me, and ive tried a few of those websites, like:
-ripped wallet
-fairytale treasure
-a few others
just my opinion, but dont waste your time joining those website, ive spent alot of hours working for them and havent reached 10 dollars, and i've looked at all sorts of tricks to make more money on such sites. However, they have no immediate effect on your income. Just be careful about what website you join, some (even though i havent run into one) are scams.
sorry though, i still dont know of any website that pays semi-well for the effort put into doing work, but if i find one, ill keep you posted. :]
(ps alot of people from previous answers, suggested to start your own website, dont know if its worth the time, but just an idea)

Hello Babygurl,
I believe there are more scam sites than ethical ones online (I've had my fair share of them), but fortunately there are also many good legit ones there.
If you want to see a real company, and have real people welcome you LIVE, then just go to my website and have a look!
Please feel free to contact me if you want further information, you can find my contact details on my website.
Good luck :)

Simple put no.
Think it through, why would anyone work in the real world if they could all work from home?
