6 Legitimate Work at Home Jobs that Really Pay the Bills

So you are looking for a legitimate work at home job.  Who isnt?  I have been working from home in some capacity since my first child was born in 1999. I have not been back out in the "real world" work force since then and I have dabbled in a little bit of everything. My favorite was working a home taking customer service calls which worked well except for one small problem– a fussy 6 month old .  When you take calls for a company , they want their customers to think that you are in a call center–not your pj's( I was). You cannot have unprofessional interruptions such as a baby crying, dog barking or even a doorbell ringing ( It happned to me) .  If you can guarantee a quiet environment, then a work at home job taking calls for a company might be a good fit for you.

Before you can get one of these work at home  jobs, you really have to make sure that you are dealing with a legitimate company.  There are so many scams out there that you really do have to be careful.  Generally speaking, if a company asks you to pay money for a list then stay away! However, some work at home companies do charge a fee to apply. However  this does not necessarily mean that they are a scam.

What is the money for?

Some charge for the criminal or credit background check. Others charge for the time it takes tor research your work history. Others even go so far as to make you pay for your own drug screening. They will give  you a list of labs in your area and you ve got to get a blood test.  This was the case with 2 of the companies I worked with.  One company a good friend worked for actually what she described as a "huge chunk" out of her hair.  This was for the drug testing.  Evidently, everything you eat, or drink ,or smoke  ends up in our hair.

Anyway…on to the list.  These are some companies that I have dealt with personally,  or know real life tangible people who have worked or are working for them. 

  1. Live Ops – Worked for them until my baby got too loud.
  2. West at Home – Got hired but by this time the baby was too loud to actually take the job- My friends works for them and Live ops
  3. Vip  Desk – They have good companies for you to take calls for.
  4. Arise – You have to get an LLC because you don't work for them, you work for yourself.  A good friend of mine takes calls from Eddie Bauer through Alpine Access
  5. 1800 Flowers – They hire real strong around Mothers Day and Valentines
  6. Working Solutions
  7. Alpine Access
