Legitimate Online Jobs - Do They Exist?

- Legit Online Jobs
Complete resource of legit online jobs and legitimate ways to make money at home - free.
Searching for legitimate online jobs is an exhausting experience. There are so many scams, it's not hard to see why so many people feel real online jobs don't exist.
I will list several proven online and work at home jobs, offered by real companies, but first I want to explain how an individual can be taken in different directions.
The term "online job" can have several meanings, depending on your personal criteria, current employment status, and your desire to either work at home or in an out of home environment. There are jobs that are done online, online business opportunities, and businesses that provide online services. But what are the differences between the three?
A job that is done online, whether as an employee of a legitimate company or as a consultant (aka freelancer) providing an online service, is a job where an individual has negotiated with their employer, or predetermined the fact to their client, to allow the opportunity to do the assigned work online - typically at home. These are truly legitimate work at home jobs. As an employee, the employer takes care of any payroll issues, including employment taxes. As a consultant, you are responsible for self employment tax issues. Many companies who seek individuals to fulfull online jobs do not consider individuals as employees, but rather consultants.
An online business opportunity allows an individual to feel as though they own a business. However, the individual more than likely has paid a start-up, or sign-up fee. Online business opportunities are mostly in the direct sales arena, and - in my opinion - are not worth the money invested. Most of these "opportunities" consist of a company sponsored website where an individual promotes products or services. The hidden truth: many of these "opportunities" expect you to recruit other people into the "opportunity". I don't like online business opportunities; most of them are scams - no real opportunity comes out of the deal, except to those accepting the fees. People are easily lured into the lies of earning a high income.
A business that provides online services is an actual business started by an individual. The business is something in which the individual has a great deal of interest and truly enjoys the work. The individual provides the service online to clients.
For the sake of this article, I am going to concentrate on online jobs and list actual companies who are in need of people who seek legitimate "work from home" jobs. As I come upon more companies who seek online workers, I will add to the below lists. It is worth mentioning that, due to the need of their clients, some companies may require the needs of individuals on a sporadic basis. However, it is my finding that call center, customer service, and general bookkeeping online jobs are the most stable.
LEGITIMATE ONLINE JOBS:
Call Center / Customer Service Jobs
- Alpine Access Premier provider of customer service solutions using home-based employees. I have been informed there is a $50.00 credit check fee.

Wow -- really good list! Thanks! I have a friend who can't work due to medical problems and this is a good place to start looking for opportunities for her.
Great resource! Thanks! Just this week our bank announced that it will start a trial home-based call center operation for employees who want to try it out. I passed on it--I work in a regular call center for the bank, and if I let them into my home I will have to let them in whenever I am scheduled, and also to inspect my home. Forget that. But it does look like it might become a trend.
Thanks for all the legwork--I'm sending this to my daughter who is always looking for this kind of thing.
reallly worth useful site ever I have seen."HELP TO HUMANITY"
That's a really interesting List! Up until now i came across only with scams that intended to grab our money. Thank you very much!
Yes indeedy! Very informative. WOW! What a list you have. Thank you! I have tried searching and like Demmy says, nothing but scams out there.
Thank you for reassuring us that there are legitimate online jobs out there. The internet is swarmed with so many scam artists that it's nearly impossible to find any legit jobs online. This list is very useful. Thank you again!
Thanks for your comments. I personally have had success with Team Double Click. I agree, there are so many scams that it's hard to weed throught he legitimate ones.
Thank You especially for the Data Entry info.
Excellent information and very nice hub. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting hub. I have to admit, the amount of scams out there makes it very tricky and discouraging at times.
Thank you for posting this information. It is hard to find something legitimate anymore, and when you are weeding through all the scams, you lose interest pretty quick.
Thanks for sharing, great hub
regards Zsuzsy
Well this a good one the sad thing is that nonof them employs non american, i mean international employees. Can you research and get good one that can employ international staff
Thanx alot have been searching and see alot of scams or at the very least questionable ethics..
Thanks for this important Hub! Makes life easier for Students like me, who would like to earn a Part time income. Definitely a good opportunity
Yes, great information lewgard. A very thorough list, and a handy set of definitions of the different "qualities" of the jobs. Thanks.
This absolutely great information! Just sent the link to my sister. Team Double Click looks very good. Thank you for this info!
For the disabled,this article could be a God-sent!
Thanks for the great research!
Good points here! I recommend going through freelance bid boards where you have the board admin to help you out. And go through trusted, well-known employment sites in a similar manner. If you run into "bad guys" at any, point them out to admin so they'll be removed.
thank heavens !
iv'e come to think that no such thing exists . thanx for proving otherwise
pretty cool list you got.. surely a big help to those who are searching for such jobs.
Great hub! I worked for West at Home once. It wasn't as great as it sounds. Most of the time, the best hours were already taken, and if you couldn't work in the middle of the night, when most of those home shopping addicts are sneaking around buying that stuff when their husbands are asleep, you didn't make any money. It's NOT a 9-5 job, and you're paid on a commission basis. You don't get paid for a call until the money is received, and on some calls, you don't get paid until the refund period is over. If there is a refund, it's subtracted from your paycheck. You're also required to upsell or try to sell related items to the callers. Just wanted to let everyone know.
Just wanted to say "thanks for all your kind and useful comments.
Kunle: Great idea ! I will do my best to research non USA companies.
Hollie Hobbie: I am so sorry to read of your bad experience. Please remember, anyone or any company that claims to guarantee you will make a set amount of money should raise a red flag. How can anyone guarantee such a thing ? I hope my list will provide something for you.
dafla: Thanks for the info regarding your experience with West. From what I have recently heard from people who work for them, they do provide fairly stable work at all hours. I, however, have never worked for them.
Wow, extremely well researched and helpful. Thanks!
Great stuff, I think the Internet will continue to provide jobs, employment and business opportunities as the economy changes and more and more people come online.
Thanks! This is great - I need more sources of work-from-home income. Freelance writing is fun, but hard!
I so needed this! Thanks. Great research.
Well, thanks for your analysis and info about online jobs. I have been looking for online job oppurtunity as a data entry operator. As a physically challenged person i can work from home only and hence online jobs are best options for me.
Thanx a lot for the brilliant advice, I am also a work from home person &will definately check out some of these links :)
I would check out some of these opportunities, Thank you.
great post actually I need all the link you provide here.
this is awesome!! thank you!
thanks, this is a great article, I'm going to look into some of these!
A very interesting hub. I can see you did your homework. It is always a "must" to check out a company before you sign up to start working for them. You check out a company in corporate America before working for them...why wouldn't you do the same for an online company?
Thanks for sharing! I know that thousands of people every day look for data entry work, and you've given them a place to start!
I have been trying to find an HONEST home based business, and have paid out "some serious money" for their "packets" only to take it in the end! Being disabled (Broken back) I have several problems (tremors, stuttering, ect.) I am not looking for sympathy just an honest way to survive. I appreciate your list and will explore them thanks for your help. Oh by the way BIG Ticket look for an e-mail from me. Thanks to all.
Destinyrk2:
In addition to the sites listed in my article, here is a link to a site that you may find halpful: www.nticentral.com
I did not "approve" the post from BigTicket as I did not like the feel of the site he was promoting. Although I was not able to fully view it (my browser did not "like" it), my general feeling is that it is of a spammy nature - which I don't advocate.
I hope you are able to find something that suits you. Best of luck.
I was just wondering which if any of these have you tried for yourself? I always find it more insightful if you or anyone for that mater has a personal experiance with it. The information and content is very good though, don't get me wrong. I was just wondering if you had any personal input on these places. Thank you.
GLenn
GLenn: thanks for reading my article. I have personally tried Alpine Access and Team Double Click. I soon realized that call center work was not for me, so I didn't stick with Alpine Access for too long. I did make a bit of money from them. though. I am still with Team Double Click and so far I have been satisfied with the jobs they send my way.
Thanks for such an informative article. It's a real problem sorting out the good sites from the bad. Your article has really helped. Thanks again.
This is great, but where did you find this information without having to sift through fifty tons of scammers first? Even FeeBay is a scam if your stuff isn't selling.
Can you ad AmeriPlan to this list? thanks
Hey VesoneXavier here, great article, great hub.
Any more examples iin direct sales industry?
Great advice.thanks for the information and very good hub.
Legeit Online Jobs!!Oh Yes! and i have learnt some new information here to get my teeth into!!
Thanks!;)
To Christina: I have heard of AmeriPlan, but do not know too much about them. I will check them out to see where they fit. Thanks for the tip.
to Antanina: I will look into more in the direct sales industry. The more the better, right? Thanks for asking.
To Julie-Ann: Thanks for the link! I'll link to you in my next hub. Been hard to find time lately, though...
Everyone else: Thanks for the comments. I hope some of you find something that works in your desired area of interest.
great info and list. thanks!
Super info, well researched and thought out... Brilliant
Many companies are moving toward allowing their employees the option & convenience of working from home. Thanks for a well-written hub!
Interesting list of opportunities there. I've tried one or two things myself in the past and the general rule is that these things aren't often as lucrative as they seem. You can work many hours for not very much money in the main.
I personally would like to see comments from people who use these services on here as this would lend some credibility to the good schemes.
This is great info.
I'm checking this out!
Don't foregt freelance work as well.
www.online-writing-jobs.com has a list of freelance work you can do. I have found it ok to make side money- but not as a full-time gig.
I tried Ameriplan. Before you get involved-- and spend money-- check to see if the plan is available to your customers in your community. No doctors, no hospitals, and no pharmacies accept Ameriplan within 100 miles of where I live. It was useful only for dentists.
this is fine very valuable info for earning mony. Many people use different tech for earning money from the net.
Thanks for sharing your list.
There is plenty of paid work. No need to worry about the "jobs" part, just seek paid work.
Thanks for providing good collection of sites in one page.
Excellent article! I too have a friend looking to work from home--thanks!
Lewgard, I thought this was really great!! You did a stupendous job presenting this. I'm really glad I was introduced to hub pages, and that I ran across your hub. I appreciate the information given, and would like to stay in touch.
thanks for website list
great hub
cool, I didn't know that there were so many legitimate online jobs out there. nice post.
Thanks for this hub, it would make a good reference for my mother. I'll pass this on.
This hub is very informative. I am near retirement and is really seeking to find some of online companies that offer reasonable payment for jobs. I shall endevor yo check out the places you mentioned in the hub. It would have been more conviencing if you had testimonials of personal experiences of working with a greater number of these companies. It is a great hub though
Very good list
Thanks for the info, but I'm so sceptical as everybody says no hidden fee etc and you are the one fitting the bill at the end of the day. I just might try out some of the site you suggested. Great site.thanks
You can checkout mine:
Your right, there are hundreds of scams out there on the Internet. You have a right to be cautious and skeptical and do your diligent research on all of them. But don't let your skepticisim get in the way of finding a good Internet business, because there are some out there.
My best advice from experience, I'm 65 years old and have done my research, so here it is. Stay away from all multi level marketing companies, also known as MLM's. The reason is that you waste your time calling hundreds of people, to sell hundreds of products, ususally for a very small profit on each item. It simply is not good time leverage. About 97% of the people that join, quit within 90 days, lose their investment, and quite often get stuck with inventory. The companies do not care, since they have made the money, ie, you bought their product.
These are companies that want you to push pills, vitamins, lotions, skin care, health/energy drinks, insurance, vacations, discount clubs, etc. Similiar to Amway, Herbalife. You either have a upline or downline, that you share your profits with or some type of matrix system, that shows your going to make a fortune. There are no get rich quick real businesses out there.
For any business you go into it requires the right mind set, persistency and consistency and to never, never, give up on your dream and goals to succeed.
Find a business that has a proprietary product (one that you cannot purchase elsewhere, that has a high profit, been in business for at least 10 years, and has a complete training and support system, coupled with state of the art automated maketing platform, ie, comes with pre printed emails, auto responders, contact base, reminders, websites (so you do not have to purchase or design your own) and finally a market for the products.
And finally, ask for at least 2 personal references of people that are doing the business, that they are trying to get you into, that are earning in excess of $100,000 per year, and call them up.
Continued success with your on line Internet business search.
Hope this helps you.
RayandJudyLanfear
This is some really good stuff.Will definitely check out each of them.Thanks
Well, even these might be shady. Be sure you don't have to pay anything up front to apply or start.
hey great hub i also got a hub with a legitimate business opportunity too check it out
thanks. really useful links...i'am checking some...
Very good information lewgard. Has bookmark this page. Thanks for the information.
Very nice read. I run my own business on line and have run into so many scams before I finally found my niche. It is always best not to throw all your eggs into one basket so I will be looking into some of these.
Great article, very informative. I will be checking out the sites you have listed. I have been looking for work at home for awhile now.
great hub!
You have really done your homework here. This is a very informative article that will help people looking for real jobs that they can work from the comfort of their home.
Nice job. I hope this article really helps a lot of people. It's great when you know where to look.
Here's To Your Success,
Tabitha
Most of them sound legit but still I am little skeptic about all these online gigs. Anyway thanks for the info.
Finally, some practical and useful answers! Now maybe I can actually afford the money for fuel to get to work!!
Thanks for this great post!
This hub is right on. All the data I have collected indicates you are right. I will check out the sites you mentioned and will comment on them.
u've spilt the beans....
.....& hey thanx!
Its sad all the spam that comes about online jobs, but the truth is even in the hard times that we have now it is growing. Its a great business model that done write help the employer and employee.
extremely helpfull.. puts things into perspective with whats safe, i'm checking these out thankyou!
Excellent stuff!
thanks alot for these list and i will try it.
Great informative hub you have here.
Well-written. I like the fact that you have had personal experience. Thanks for doing the research.
You can also simply find free-lance writing jobs. It won't be a large income, but it will be better than nothing. Lots of job sites have free-lance jobs. You can try the common ones, like craigslist, or you can sign up for a service, like guru.com.
I use guru and love it. It costed some money up front, but it means I don't have to worry about pay, billing and dispute resolution and taxes. It is just another option.
Great resources in this hub for finding sites that really are secure. I would suggest every to stay away from those websites that charge fees, I have experienced some of them and really did not get satisfied. Most of them do not provide constant projects.
Thanks lewgard for mentioning the list of the companies providing online jobs..I was is the search of one of these..
I just came across this Hub. It looks like it has been a success because all of the online positions are currently full.
luved this hub!
Great information all in one place. I needed a real paid position to suppliment my income and found many viable options that would have taken many hours to find on my own. Great work!
Its very nice hub. Very informative and good information thanks for sharing your valuable time with us.
I have to say i've been researching this for approx 3 months now after to having to give up work due to illness and this is a very good list. In my opinion it is up there in the top 5 that i have seen. Excellent work i will definately be having an more in depth look at a couple of the companies.
very good
Excellent- I needed this. Keep em coming
Hi. Great hub! I have actually seen companies like Alpine Access, Live Ops and West at Home listed on a wahm board. They are legit and like you said, no fees except a background check in some cases. But from what I was told, they don't even ask for that until they talk with you and feel you would work out. I used to work in a regular call center and am thinking seriously about applying with one of these companies after the first of the year. Thanks for the info!
This is cool. Thanks for the info. :)
Thanks for sharing these links. I've been looking for a good legitimate work-from-home job for a while now, and this has definitely helped me along that road.
Very nice! I think that if you are going to work online you might as well work for yourself. Even with all the scams anyone who does a little research can start a legitimate home business.
Thanks for sharing this. This is a good guide for those who wants to earn legitimate income online.
good list. there are a few good ones you are missing though, but for the most part you're right on. i covered them in 2 of my hubs. have you ever actually secured a job with any? I have (data entry).... so they work. it took me about 2 years to actually find a legitimate job though, so it's not easy, especially with all the spam and scams. but I now make $10/hr from home
I have a sister site I am working on, trying to fight a similarly good fight. This is a great resource. I need to link back to sites like this one from my baby sister-site-in-progress (about warnings against "making money at home scams," with articles about "I see what does not work, so what does work?").
Thanks. Nice collection. Vey useful for freelancers.
Looks great! Thanks for the info!!
A high paying online job might be a freelance web and graphic designer/developer. If you are good at it. Many design companies allow their workers to telecommute too.
this is exactly what i wanted to know about! im in the process of job searching and u helped me learn some new things that have already helped me immensely!!! thanks!!!
Great recommendations. Thank you for sharing!
this is a great list, especially now with the bad economy and budget cuts many unemployed workers will need options and ways to make ends meet, the up side is that the internet makes it possible for anyone to start online offering services and using their experiences to work at freelance type work, from either writing, customer service, or web design.
Also with the rise of so many bidding sites, all types of positions are advertised from telemarketing to data entry, call center and even people who post to social sites for those who are to busy to do it. The sad part is that it takes so much time to sort through all the fake jobs to find the real ones.
Thanks for sharing your list with us hubbers.
Great resource list. Thanks!
Wow, that was a very thorough list I will definitely pass on your HUB to my friend I know quite a few people who could benefits from this valuable information.
Thanks,
David D. Ju'Don
This is a nice list and I am definitely going to explore it. Wonder if they work for my country though
Hi what you have posted here is excellent and really heavy time consumming research on your part thank you.
I have clicked on each one and yes it seems that they are 100% legitimate.
If ever you have the chance I would really appreciate some genuine international work from home jobs.
I have searched and tried and so far just come up with scams.
Thank you and well done.
Diana
Wow! A great job differentiating online jobs, online business opportunities, and businesses that provide online services.
I must agree, a vast majority of business opportunites pushed online are a waste of both time and money. I learned this from personal experience. Thank goodness for knowledge...
Nice list of Legitimate Online Jobs. I am going to take a lookat a few for those who may be interested.
THANK!!! I Am checking some of them!
Thanks for posting all the information you provided. For newbies like me it's nice to have others sharing useful, legit info.
Thanks for the information! Great HUB! This is very helpful!
Really a great piece of work! Thank you very much for this great hubpage and i'll eagerly wait to read more nd more such great works from lewgard.
I like the list, great hub
I liked the list of jobs but are there more out their I can't seem to find anymore jobs like these.
Your list of legitimate online employers is exceptional.
Many people looking to create a side income or replace their income end up investing money they don't have in starting their own online businesses. I read that 12 million new websites were added to the web in just the first 6 months of 2008!
Many newbies get suckered into scams--adding to their existing debt.
However, most people haven't got a clue about how to develop a profitable online business. If money is tight, a guaranteed paycheck is their best option.
It is true that working from home for a call center, for example, probably won't replace the income you lost when you were laid off, it is a guaranteed source of income. And like one or two of the other commenters here said, when you start out, you are often stuck with the least popular hours.
If you are looking for a salaried position, remember legitimate jobs don't ask you for money.
great site here. Excelent tips. Are you employed by any of these companys?
Hi very good post - for those who can program: I use www.rentacoder.com - excellent escrow system to protect buyer and programmer
Great article! Many people need to read this before getting scammed by fake online jobs.
Finally a real hub on real ways to make money at home from your computer. Too many people waste so much time trying to find work they can do from home for whatever reason.
Of course it is important that people realize that really high end work is almost non-existant on the web. But with hard work and honest effort you can make anywhere from good pocket money to a acceptable living.
There are some excellent online opportunities for network marketers too. Unlike the jobs you listed, you are working for yourself. Therefore, you do not get paid by the hour. It is commission based like many sales jobs are. The return can be much higher because it is your business.
If you decide to go with network marketing, make sure that your business partners have the knowledge to train you. ALWAYS find a team to work with that WILL train you on effective marketing.
Excellent research on the topic and excellent protection for people falling prey to scams.
Thank you for all the helpful pointers. There are some really fresh ideas here.
I just started doing some at-home virtual assistant work for http://www.internetGIRLfriday.com . The work is very varied, and the whole thing is very well organized, with tasks carefully defined.
My cousin has a job arranging customers' digital photos onto greeting cards which she prints. It sounds like an ideal at-home job, too.
THese are great resources. Thanks for putting the information out there. Are you someone who has investigated these, or how do you know these are safe?
You can try, but if you are required to pay something in return, this will be another thing. I am working at home too. But I am not paying, my clients are the ones paying me, as mentioned in the paragraph 4.
Lewgard - I was wondering if you actually know someone who has worked for Palm Coast Data? If so are they a Palm Coast resident? I went on their site and it appears to be that one has to reside in that area to be employed. i do live in Florida but no where near Palm Coast.
I received an answer from Palm Coast Data and the answer is one does have to live in the Palm Coast vicinity. Just thought I 'd share that.
One other legitimate work at home job is the one I have as an online tutor. Two weeks ago, I tutored kids in both in Maine and Chicago, Illinois from my home in Florida on both Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The company which pays me is located on Madison Ave. in New York, New York.
Of course, there is also mystery shopping that I do now and then as well. The pay is not much, but I have had some great free meals and several other little perks. In fact, one company I have been with for two years pays $0.40 a mile for traveling to the financial institution branches I visit plus a set amount for each report I write up on their web site. To start into the mystery shopping business, I suggest going to the Mystery Shopping Providers Association first at www.mysteryshop.org/index-na.php to find out about it. To take the test to become silver certified requires a payment of $10.00, but that will open the door to many other opportunities. McDonald's shops only pay about $7.00, but the receipt for the food purchase will be reimbursed once the company receives the copy of the receipt and a satisfactory written report so an extra $7.00 for eating there when you promise to eat there is nice if you like Mickey Dee.
Then there is also Elance.com where professionals or any other trained people can bid on many offers to complete for various projects from programming to editing as well as translation for one language to another. You will have to sign up on their site, but that part is free. Those jobs do not require one to live within the boundaries of the US. This would be perfect for someone who is bilingual regardless where he or she happens to live currently.
This is a wonderful hub I'm very pleased to have stumbled upon. But honestly, I didn't use Stumble to get here this time - only on my very first visit. LOL!!
great article.
Great info. Online Legitimate jobs can be hard to find. Doing research can help you find a good job online. I personally have had success online,but i had to do alot research first.
Good to know it exists.I started a blog for fun and since coming online I have received so many scam and spam e mails it is unbelievable.Good to know that there are legitimate things online.
Great Resources! I've had a couple of virtural careers in my life. Software review for Ziff Davis and writing a few articles for publications. I also had an assistant that we did the virtual office thing. They all take discipline. Withotu the boss standing over your shoulder it is easy to start watching the game or a movie. Thanks again for the info.
Good article.
Thanks for actually listing the job sites.
Several of my girlfriends as well as myself, have been working for Live Ops for a few years now. This is truly a great company with real income. I appreciate your Hub. Informing others about this great company and other real income opportunities is definitely needed in this economy. Great Job!
Thanks for this very fantastic resource. Are some of them aplicable to people living outside of US?
Very useful article, thanks a bunch!
useful information thanks alot. Now i know what to look for
Nice Information, helps a lot with getting the know how on reaching certain goals.
Its totally new experience
great and informative..thumps up for you..
really wonderful...specially when you hear that mostly these kind of jobs and work are fake and scams...thanks for spreading the word about home based work
I love reading articles and replies such as these. I struggled to get anywhere for a long time but yep I found a way to get going using a popular system seen most everywhere and modified it a bit. I have a url where I have shown readers what I have done.

Fingers are crossed. Best of luck. There are more work from home jobs listed on this site: www.ewomanweb.com
I knew there are some out there that actually works and helpful! Great information.
Great information. Thanks for sharing info. and links
I really appreciate your work and efforts but let me telly ou that all the online jobs are not scam or illegal. For example if you have written this hubpage and you are associated with adsense revenue sharing program of hubpages.com then its quite possible you would like to have more and more visitors on your pages.Either from Google search, forums,blogs or advertisments.
For Google you will have to create backlinks that come from links posted on other websites.For forums either you will have to pst new threads or you will have to reply with your link.For blogs you either you can create your own blog and give link to your hubpages. And so on.
This all are related to SEO. For a single person all these jobs and content writing is going to be a diificult task for this webmasters hire virtual assistants and hence it create a work from home or online jobs.
So it can't be said that jobs from particular websites are legitimate or rest are doubtful. You can also find more information about legitimate work from home programs and home business on http://www.ezinfocenter.in
Good Luck
Hmmm...what???? Not sure I understood the last post.
Wow you allowed a chain letter scam comment. Nice job!
Actually, I didn't allow a chain letter scam. The comment came in 20 hours ago and I jsut deleted it. I didn't check comments until just now - I don't get a chance to check them every hour (I have a job). I wonder why comments that are neither approved nor denied still viewable?
Nice information.

Nice hub! There are tons of online jobs... Some are scams... Others are legit. I'm 38 years old... 3 years ago I've left my 8 to 5 job because I could make some money online. It is possible... I don't earn many thousands of dollars per month as promised in some 'online jobs', but I earn well enough to have a great life!
Thanks for putting this out there. I am very interested in this type of work due to my physical condition. I wonder if any of the previous posters who have said that they were going to try these companies have had any luck? If they have or you know of it, please post some results. I know I won't get rich but, it would be nice to make a decent living without having to do some of the things I've had to in the past.
Nice hub. Useful list of resources and well explained. Neil
Thanks Neil. I wold like to suggest to those commenting here to read some of Neil's Hubs, too. They are great!

Why are both Team Double Click and Virtual Office Temps on the list? They're blacklisted sites that don't pay out and are in no way legit.
Thank you, Courtney. I haven't heard of either of these two companies being "blacklisted".
Regarding Team Double Click, I have read of a people not being paid as well as some being paid fine. I don't know the entire story pertaining to those who have not been paid, but I do know their claims were posted on a forum (or multiple forums) that are for the purpose or rants and complaints. The BBB has one complaint from one individual who did not get employment with Them. Her complaint pertained to her request for her personal info. being destroyed (which TDC claimed they did). I am not affiliated in any way this company - If they are a truly terrible company I will remove them from the list. At this point, I still believe they are a legitimate company.
Regarding Virtual Office Temps: It appears they are now defunct...Thank you for bringing this company to my attention.
I do my best to look into the companies I mention, but so many companies are failing these days. Additionally, everyone has the right to complain about an unsatisfactory event with a company. If the bad complaints outweigh the good, I won't list the company. I try to keep an open mind and realize that every situation is different.
I have added a few more companies in the Virtual Assistant section.
I agree this is a great article in fact I haveworked for west at home since Mar. 2009 and they are really easy to do and they pay biweekly. All training is done online andyour job takes place in your home office or wherever your computer is locted.
Has anyone actually worked for any of the companies listed?
I worked a 9-5 job for a great number of years, but now with hubby being military and us having 2 small children I am looking for a good at home job that I actually will have to work at to get a real pay check. Just looking for a little 'personal experience' input if it's out there. Thanks for the great list!
thanks for posting some legitimate work from home websites you are the best thanks again......
hvac tech at home work slow checked out online jobs seems all scams thank u for clearing up what is looked for on these sites not really for a blue collar worker with out typing or key board skills most are for office folks an good luck to you all
Hallo,Can anyone please give me a website that i can do data Entry or work online.My E-mail is danmturi@yahoo.com
Thanks.Dan.
Last year I checked out and thoroughly researched the call center jobs that you listed - they were all legitimate and people seemed to be very satisfied. I opted instead to look for an online writing job and another hubber recommended Demand Studios - this has worked out incredibly well for me - in fact it is becoming a major source of my income.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do such a thorough list of legitimate jobs. I bookmarked your other work at home hub because it has the best list!
Thanks so much!
BkCreative: I'm happy to hear you have had great success with Demand Studios. I always enjoy hearing stories such as yours.
Thanks for the information, I will be checking some of them out shortly
Great, TJames65. Best of luck to you. I have another hub on work from home jobs that are a bit more out of the ordinary:
This is a great article. Thank you. Steve Ligor
Thanks, Steve, for visiting. I truly appreciate it.
Great List!!!!! Super Informative!
Thank you so much for this list! I can't believe my eye that there is work from home jobs out there. That is because a lot of scam is out there. You can't believe anyone anymore. Sad but true. Thanks for the list. I will check it out shortly.
The jobs looked great, A lot of them don't hire for the state of California
is there something for people residing in india?
Thanks so much for the help and informatin I will be checking this out soon. I have been afraid of being scammed but would like to work from home.. Thanks again!!
Hi, thanks for this nice list. I'm a freelancer myself where I share different ways on how to earn online on my blog through legit sites as well. And I was looking around for more sites to recommend on my blog so a lot of people would also have more options to choose from.
I'm sure your post will help a lot of people. And will try to check out some sites that you recommended as well. =)
Debbie: I hope some of these jobs will offer something for you. You can also check out my other articles and website. Best of luck to you:

Thank you for this post. It's one of the first that I've seen that gives a good sense of the virtual marketplace. Plus the additional comments are great too
Actually, Alpine Access does have "fees", I had an interview with them and was about to be hired, but got eliminated because I couldn't come up with the $50 background check fee.
Just a fair warning, since you stated they don't have fees.
Thanks for the info, David. I'll take another look at them and make necessary changes.
Yes, many think that Internet jobs are just scams and will just make you work for unworthy payment. This is totally wrong. There are lots of online opportunities that you can have that are legitimate and high paying. These jobs will not be as popular as they are today if they are not worthy of your time and effort.
Finding a work at home job or business opportunities can be easy providing you're verifying your finds with the BBB
hello everyone.Does anyone know if any of these online jobs will hire people from jamaica.im in jamaica and looking for an online job,not anything to replace full time job or anything.I also want to kno if i have to pay fees to them before actually working?
Would being asked to pay for background check be considered being asked to pay a fee? when do you know that the background check is legit?
Thanks a ton for this hub. You have no idea how helpful it is! Lately I have been running into loads of online job scams on job sites. So thanks for making my search that much less frustrating.
im still confused, curious and sceptic about this online jobs topics. because many of them are SCAM..but this articles help me to filter the best one. thanks for your great information
thanks for the information.
Very informative article. Great information.
Great article. I have been looking for "real" online jobs. I will look into some of these. Thanks! :)
Great information. I got lucky and found your site from a random Google search. Fortunately for me, this topic just happens to be something that I've been trying to find more info on for research purpose. Keep us the great and thanks a lot.
Great hub!
Can someone provide a list of work-at-home job sites?
Love reading online job related articles. Thank you for sharing. Rated up and useful.
If the price of gasoline goes to $4.50, $5, $6 a gallon then online jobs will become much more desirable.
