On any given day there are hundreds of legitimate work-at-home jobs posted online. Even today, in a tanking economy employers are hiring people to work from home. But many people still struggle to find these jobs or to get hired when they do find them. Perhaps you’re one those people. While there is no magic pill, there are some “secrets” you should know to increase the odds of success in finding and getting a work-at-home job.
Secret #1:
Home-based employees don’t stuff envelopes, assemble crafts, process payments or rebates, post ads, or fill out surveys. These programs are all scams or simply don’t make enough money to buy a pizza much less pay the mortgage.
Successful home-based employees have jobs that are similar to the jobs found in the traditional work world such as personal assistant (or virtual assistant), customer service rep, bookkeeper, copywriter, tutor, teacher, paralegal, transcriber, and writer just to name a few. So, just as in searching for a traditional job, when doing a work-at-home job search, focus on jobs that need the skills and experience you have.
Secret #2:
Home-based employees don’t use directories or search engines to find a telecommuting jobs. Many of these resources provide scam companies such as assembly or mailing work. Others provide a list of companies that have telecommuting programs, but for the purpose of finding work, they are useless as the companies may not be hiring.
Instead, successful home-based employees search for jobs where employers post their job openings such as on career websites like Monster.com, on company websites, or through reputable telecommuting databases that list current job openings. It’s important to remember the scammers do post their jobs on the free-to-use job boards, so you’ll need to research jobs carefully. The best way to stay safe is to remember that employers never charge to hire you and won’t ask to use your bank account to do business.
Secret #3:
Home-based employees don’t sign up for a job. Neither do they buy one. Work at home jobs must be earned in the same way traditional jobs are; you need to apply, interview and get hired. Any company that says you will have a “job” simply by signing up and sending money is NOT offering you a job.
Successful home-based employees know they are competing with many other candidates and therefore have a stellar resume or application that is tailored to each specific job to which they apply. They are careful to follow the job announcement’s directions to a “T” not only to provide the information the employer is looking for, but to also show that they know how to follow directions.
The home-based jobs are out there. A quick search of Monster.com using the keyword “telecommute” yields over 400 job announcements. And while some of these jobs are scams or business opportunities, many are great work-at-home jobs that you can apply to today. The key to success is to remember to look for the right types of work in the right places, and then make the best impression you can on the potential employer.

I've been a mystery shopper for about 10 years now. There are some sites that are scams, like with anything.
However, there are many companies that are LEGIT. I'm not affiliated with anyone company. There is the Mystery Shopping Providers Association's. You can check out their website to get started. You don't have to be certified, so don't let that scare you.
Some jobs involve putting out many for a meal, reporting on it and than getting reimbursed. There is no need to put out money for mystery shopping lists. If you use a search engine and put in mystery shopper forums, that is a good place to start. Read what they have to say. You can learn a lot that way.
Best of Luck to you!

When I first saw this I was like “that’s a photo.” SO INCREDIBLE.
"If a company requires initial payment from you in order to work for them, they are not legitimate."
There are a few legitimate data entry companies but are not hiring and have large waiting lists (1-2yrs). The majority of data entry jobs you seen online are scams. A real company will want you to have skills inc fast typing, may want you to know MS Excel, and will usually ask that you have high speed internet. Once in a long while you may found one online on a job website but thats rare.
If you do an advanced search on yahoo, you will find previous answers, sometimes the info on these is good as the info they gave is likely to have been verified if the answer was voted as 'Best'.
It's not a math problem, it's a "you spend more than you make" problem.
Need to get on a tight budget, pay off debt, and save money for emergencies.
You need to get very angry, and direct the passion to getting on a plan to pay off everyone.
I got very passionate after reading "the total money makeover" by Dave Ramsey
it feels like my brain doesn’t want to believe that is a painting and more of a picture. haha
