In January I'll be having a baby and my husband is in the military. I'll want to provide some sort of income while I'm at home taking care of my baby. Any advice on the work from home jobs? Possibly typing/data entry for companies?

Most of the jobs I have researched require payment up front and are usually scams. I would prefer feedback from those who have actually worked a typing-at-home job and found success. Thank you.

I have looked into the type-at-home jobs but have found that the advertising does not match with the actual position, hence I am asking for a refund (problems there too). I would like to make an extra $200 to $300 per month and I guess I am willing to do anything

I'm looking for any legitimate work from home jobs such as testing or playing video games, taking calls, typing, etc. I am not looking for any scams, get rich quick schemes, or make $$$ in one hours. Just some real honest work that I can do from home without having to leave my baby because I am a stay at home mother of 3. Just looking for something extra to do with some extra income. I'm open to anything...legal and legit. Thank you in advance!

I have to stay at home to take care of old, disabled relative. It is no longer possible to get along on what we get in social security and disability payments. I can type, have printer. I have looked on the net to find work at home jobs, but all I have found want payments for information to go to others places that require payments, etc. If I had payments I probably would not need a job. Please help.

I just want some type of home job on the computer that I don't have to pay for right away. I HATE surveys, especially the ones about being a secret shopper! Got scammed out the ass with that junk! Got a check from that bunch of crooks, put it in the bank and it bounced like a rubber ball! If anyone knows of a typing job on line or off line or even one that involves processing papers, give me a holler!

I'm currently a college student, and I decided to take a semester off to pay for school. I have a full time job, but I was thinking about working from home as a second job. I was kind of looking at jobs where I can work in my free time; but I heard that a lot of these work from home jobs were a scam. I would prefer a job that required typing or data entry because I'm pretty fast at typing. Does anyone know any legitimate work from home jobs that I can do? P.S. Only serious answers please. Thank you.

If you have been looking for jobs on Monster or Career Builder. There are tons of advertisements for work for home jobs. But of course they are types of scams that want you to sign up and of course pay. Are there any real legitimate work from home jobs.

I am looking for a legitimate work from home job where I can do typing or data entry. I am not looking for a get-rich-quick scheme or one that requires I pay a fee to get started. I'm willing to work hard and expect nothing more than a fair wage. I know there are people out there who do medical billing or coding, or other data entry work...I just can't figure out how to get started. Any suggestions?
