9 Best Online Jobs That Aren't Scams

By Ann G. Brown 

We all have to work. There's no getting around that. However, is it absolutely necessary to work  outside the home? Perhaps not. Considering the rising cost of gas, daycare, dry cleaning, even lunch you may be better off working from home . Additionally, you can be there for your children when they get home from school, catch a cold or even have a field trip. Right now , when your children are young is the best time to work from home.
There are hundreds of thousands of online job opportunities online. Just do a google search and see how many results appear.  Now in a perfect world all of the links would lead to legitimate positions.  Sadly, that is not the case. The overwhelming majority of the results will take you down the path to Scamville. Most  want money for a list, a job registry, materials, a packet of information etc.  Then there are others that will actually hire and train you , allow you to do the work and then never remit payment. I know because I fell for one of these myself.
So what a mom to do? Well you could go Googling each company to see what others have written, but  some saavy companies have found a way around that.  Now they hire marketers to write phoney positive reviews and post them in forums of the net.  So you could easily be deceived into thinking that a  wonderful experience is legitimate when its all a rouse.
Stop wasting your time!  The scam companies understand your  need to be home with your children. They are successful in business because they have learned to capitalize on it. So whats a mom to do?
Below you'll find a list of 9 legitimate work at home customer service  opportunities.  These companies will allow you to takes calls from the privacy of your own home. Some are in the field of customer service, others are infomercial order takers. A few companies even hire at home workers to conduct surveys .  All of the companies a are looking for motivated individuals who will represent them in a professional manner. You must be articulate with a pleasant manner . It does help to have previous customer service experience, although several companies will start you at an entry level position and let you work your way up to representing the more challenging clients.  At the very minimum though, computer experience is a must across the board.   If you meet these requirements, please consider applying to the following companies.

As with any opportunity, you must do your research before accepting a job offer.  As a rule, legitimate companies will have contact information other than just email, and will not ask you for money upfront. I do know that a few companies will ask you to pay for your own background check . In my experience, even these companies have proven to be above board.
The above list is only 9 of  102  legitimate work at home job listings. All with active links that can be found at getrichmom.com.
