40 Legitimate Work from Home Jobs (No Investment or Startup Fee)

Last Updated February 12, 2017


Working from home is a dream for a lot of us.


It used to be that stuffing envelopes from home and other (mostly) scams, were all you could find if you were searching for work at home opportunities.


Thankfully, the internet has changed everything, this one included.


According to a survey by the U. S. Department of Labor. the number of people who did some or all of their work at home increased from 19 percent in 2003 to over 24 percent in 2016.


There are a lot of companies nowadays that offer at home jobs.


Earn Free Cash


Try Swagbucks, the famous rewards program that pays you for watching videos, taking surveys, shopping and more.


Although, you still have to be vigilant as there are still many work at home scams out there.


From the biggest corporations to the smallest business outfits, MNCs to government institutions, it is getting increasingly common for employers to offer “remote worker” or “telecommute employee” options.


With escalating cost and stuttered economy, it is little surprise that the idea has extended to include even workforce that is foreign based.


That is how far the Internet has changed the concept of work!


So, where are all these great work at home jobs and companies that hire people to work from home?

Recognize And Avoid "Work At Home" Scams

During tough economic times, when there is higher than average unemployment, more people look to online job sites for help finding work. Maybe you have been there and noticed postings looking for individuals available to "work from home." You may have received an email, gone to a website, or even seen a sign on the road that promoted the benefits of a work-at-home job. No matter where you have seen it, probably one thing caught your eye: You can become rich working out of your home. Or can you?


It seems that every day you see more and more home-based work opportunities. According to the FBI, the most common work-at-home scams are advance-fee start-at-home businesses, mystery shoppers to help counterfeiting, pyramid schemes. and perhaps the most dangerous one of all involves becoming part of unknown criminal activity. (Learn more in What Is A Pyramid Scheme? )


The mystery shopper job allows you to get paid to shop. Sometimes it legitimately works that way. What unfortunately happens, some of the time, is that these companies send you a check to deposit and have you withdraw funds. Shoppers are supposed to use some of it for the purchase and send the rest back to the employer. By the time you have done this, your bank is probably calling you telling you that the check you deposited was a counterfeit. (Find out how to protect yourself and your loved ones from financial fraudsters, see Stop Scams In Their Tracks.)


Pyramid Schemes


Pyramid schemes have become very popular. Someone you know may have been fooled into being part of one of these scheme. The scheme involves people inviting you to join them in an opportunity to become filthy rich. What actually happens, however, is that not only do they get conned, but they have included you in their unfortunate choice. The person(s) that started the pyramid can sometimes make a profit, while those below them can end up alienating friends and family, and losing out financially while the scheme collapses.


Criminal Activity


One of the most dangerous schemes actually involves criminal activity. You may get hired to receive and send out either merchandise or even checks. Be very careful about sending out anything for anyone. Many times, all that you are doing is involving more unsuspecting people into the scam, while the crooks get away. (More than 30 million people were victims of fraud in 2007. Will you be next? Check out Credit Scams To Watch Out For.)


These scams are especially successful when people are desperate. It all sounds like you are going to be able to have "dream money" that you never thought was possible. Not only are they targeting the desperate, but the sick, the stay-at-home parents, the low-income and the uneducated.


Evaluating Job Listings


There are things you should do if you suspect a scam. Find out more about the company and job. What kind of contact information do they supply? Use search engines to research the company's history. Make sure you know what the job details are including how much and how often you'll be paid. Check out scam lists. If they ask for money to work for them, beware. You can ask for references but even these can be questionable. (Find out how to spot internet fraud and protect your hard-earned money, see Avoiding Online Investment Scams.)


There are some things you should never do.


    Deposit money and pay it back to them Send merchandise or checks out in the mail Spam others with email Call a 900 number for information - you will end up paying for that call which is how that scammer makes the money. Assemble crafts or other items - they will probably tell you that you have not met specifications and end up not paying you. Stuffing Envelopes - this scam that can be illegal.

Researching and Reporting Issues


To find out where you can go to research and report problems, check out the following:


    Better Business Bureau – enter the company name into the organization's site to see previous complaints. (The BBB is one resource to help you connect with the best product/service providers in your area, read The Better Business Bureau's Tool Belt For Saving Cash.) Federal Trade Commission – you can go here to find out if a company has had illegal pyramid schemes. Scam. com - check out this company's bulletin board to see home scams and ask questions about companies you suspect. Google - do research on the companies' background to see what others have to say.

Other Online Career Scams


In your search for the ultimate work at home job, you may have placed your resume on the internet. This may leave you open for another problem. Consulting and recruiting scams are on the rise. A career consultant may contact you saying they found your resume online. Chances are this person may try to get you to pay for updating your resume or other job-related help. A recruiter may call to send you on a job interview. Later, you may find that there is not a job opening, and the company just wanted to sell you services.


There are many ways for others to take advantage of you during your employment search. Be careful regarding jobs advertised that don't actually exist. If you get an email from someone who is very impressed with your qualifications, be careful of phishing scams, and can result in distribution of your information to other companies. (Looking to land your dream job? Skip the entry-level position by avoiding these common errors, check out Top Job-Search Mistakes For Finance Grads.)


Conclusion


Unfortunately, with all of the unemployed out there, there is always a threat of an increase in the number of unemployment scams. Keep your guard up. Go to the above mentioned sites and check everything out. Do not pay anyone up front, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Chain Letter Scams

Many looking for work from packing jobs start looking into stuffing envelopes. There’s normally a fee to get started with a promise that you’ll be told what to do next.


After paying a fee you’re sent instructions to send a letter out to people telling them how they can earn money stuffing envelopes at home. If interested they then send you a fee and you then instruct them to send letters to people.


Sound confusing? It is. There’s no product at all and you’re not actually stuffing envelopes for a company. This is very similar to posting links online scam.

Completing Easy Tasks

Some of the oldest work at home scams are those that offer pay for simple tasks like assembling craft kits, stuffing envelopes or processing claims. The problem is that you will be required to purchase a kit, equipment or training information from them before you will be considered for a job that does not exist. No company needs to pay people working from home for tasks that can easily be completed cheaper and faster by machines or personnel that are paid the minimum wage.

Stuffing Envelopes

Stuffing envelopes is an age old work from home scheme. I can remember reading about this “work from home opportunity” ten years ago in the classifieds section of the newspaper.


This scam works just like posting ads online, it’s a chain type thing.


You pay to become an “envelope stuffer” and then you send out letters to people telling them how they can make money stuffing envelopes.


We’ve got machines that can stuff envelopes much more efficiently and for a much lower price than a human being could do this.

As a stay home parent, attempting to match the requirements of kids at home while maintaining their sanity could possibly be the most challenging job to get a stay home parent. Moreover, the stay home parent would need to perform jobs at home like cleaning, cooking and doing laundry, etc. Stay-at home mothers are able to immediately monitor the kid's attention, ensuring it's a cozy, peaceful, and growing encompassing. They are able to touch the youngster absolutely regularly through the entire evening. SAHM. org

Special Alert: Now Open To All Countries!

Hi, my name is Ross Williams. Let me share a personal story with you. Back in 2007, I held an excellent position at a large IT company with a nice monthly salary. By 2008, the great recession hit. The company ran into financial problems and was forced to lay off over 50% of its staff. Unfortunately for me, I was included.


So there I was stranded, unemployed, with all the bills to pay and a family to support. Where I lived, such jobs weren't easy to come by. So I decided to do a little research.

The 10 best (and real) work-at-home jobs

Morsa Images/Getty Images


Searching for jobs, particularly home-based work, used to be a matter of scanning the Sunday classifieds for offers to get rich quick by stuffing envelopes. Now, working from home is easier than before because exposure to at-home opportunities has multiplied.


A wide variety of job ads are just a click away, but so are the scams.


In 2007, when Rat Race Rebellion -- a company that helps people find home-based work -- began tracking at-home jobs, there were 30 scams for every legitimate opportunity. Now, with 4,500 to 5,000 work-at-home job ads screened weekly, the website finds 60 phonies for every one that's for real, says Christine Durst, co-founder and principal of Staffcentrix LLC, the company that owns and manages RatRaceRebellion. com.


Nevertheless, there's no shortage of workers who dream of beating the odds and earning a living from home.


Durst, whose company Staffcentrix develops home-based and virtual career training programs, says those interested in work-at-home jobs primarily are:


    Parents who say they want to spend more time with their children. Trailing military spouses who, according to Durst, by virtue of their spouse's career need to pick up and move every few years. Retirees needing supplemental income. People with disabilities.

RATE SEARCH: If you're looking to save money for retirement, check out the CD rates today at Bankrate. com.


It's not easy to be a good parent and simultaneously work well at home, says Durst, because most jobs require blocks of uninterrupted time to complete tasks, and children's schedules are less than predictable. For those who do choose to walk the tightrope between paid work and parenting, consider deadline-oriented work. Durst says it's generally better for those with younger children than schedule-oriented hourly work.


Steven Rothberg, president and founder of CollegeRecruiter. com. says "an increasing minority" of entry-level workers, are attracted to these jobs. He says he believes social introverts make good candidates. "They like working with people (but) they like interacting by email and by being on the phone. They dislike working in person with a lot of others," he says, because of meetings and other "time-sucking problems" at an office.


Self-motivation, discipline, job skills and independence are key traits for at-home workers, says Stephanie Foster, a former medical transcriptionist who runs the website HomeWithTheKids. com.


FREE CREDIT SCORE: Employers may check your credit before making an employment decision. See what they see by checking your credit report at myBankrate now.


A growing number of employers appears to believe telecommuting is a good arrangement for them, as well. It cuts overhead costs, allows access to talented workers who may not be available locally, provides off-hours support and helps retain employees, says Sara Sutton Fell, CEO of FlexJobs. com, a website that aggregates hand-screened telecommuting/work-at-home jobs. "We've seen a real broadening of the audience of both employers and job seekers."


Consider these 10 jobs -- some rather traditional and others unexpected -- for engaging at-home work and good (if competitive) prospects.

Yes, there are real work at home jobs on the internet. But the ratio of scams to legitimate work at home jobs is estimated at 42 to 1. That means that you have to go through 42 advertisements and only 1 will be legitimate.


Legitimate work-at-home or home-based jobs are obtained the same way as a traditional job. You apply for job that you are qualified for with the necessary skills and knowledge by filling out an application and submitting a resume to obtain an interview for employment.


Employment scams and Work at home schemes There are no easy and quick way to make money online. Most advertisements for paid surveys, typing at home, typing ads are scams, to take your money. Claims of making large dollars amounts "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is". Those are the people making money online, they usually are affiliate links, they make a commission selling this information. Beware of ads that promise employment results, many misrepresent services, promote outdated or fictitious job offerings, or charge high upfront fees for services that will not lead to a job. Employment services may use such terms as employment agency, personal placement service, executive search firm, or executive counseling service. Be suspicious of any employment service that promises a job, even if they guarantee refunds. Do not give out your credit card or bank account information. A potential legitimate employer will not request your bank account, credit card or Paypal account number. High-paid job opportunities for people who lack significant experience in a particular field, are virtually nonexistent. Legitimate businesses seeking to fill jobs will not ask for money up front; use post office boxes, instead of physical addresses; make promises of employment and guarantees of refunds; or charge fees for giving you a job. If someone wants money to tell you how to make money online, it's a scam. No legitimate company needs money for someone to work online.


Work at home jobs - there are no easy jobs. The top work at home scams are: stuffing envelopes, data entry, reading email, assembly or craft work, medical billing. Offers of high dollars salaries. If it sound to good to be true, then it is. Never pay a fee for an offer of a job. A legitimate job pays you. A legitimate job offer might need a background check - which you would be required to pay.


Most require some experience or the knowledge of acceptable practices.


Blogging - You can blog on the Internet - create your own blog for free at blogger. com, create a niche blog with good content and you can monetize with Adsense or affiliate sales. Get paid to blog at Payperpost. com allows you to receive a percentage of the revenue, which is generated from advertising associated with content that you post..


Virtual Assistants - work involves administrative duties, travel arrangements, transcription, correspondence, and other services that can be done remotely through email and phone for small business owners and executive-level professionals needing personal assistants. You can work as an independent contract or check these websites: Virtualassistantjobs. com and Teamdoubleclick. com


Writing Articles - You can get paid to write articles - Associatedcontent. com and Helium. com are sites that pay, Myessays. com and Writerfind. com also have various assignments.

Doing work from home holds a clear appeal for many people in today's world. Many stay at home parents or others with commitments to family, as well as those in remote locations or who simply want to escape the drudgery of the daily commute and office politics, hope to find legitimate opportunities that allow them to earn money from home. It is important for these individuals to select a job that fits with his skills and interests, his home life, and the legal and zoning requirements where he lives. Some legitimate work from home jobs include child care, writing and editing, transcription, and bookkeeping.


Child care is the most obvious choice for mothers or fathers who want to be able to stay home with their children. The advantages are significant: the parent is at home full time to raise his or her children as well as look after other children that his or her children can also interact with. The parent can also earn a steady income through child care work, and reduce his or her own child care costs in addition to other expenses, such as transportation and office clothing.


The downside to doing child care work from home is that the person must have a big enough home, such as a house with a finished basement, if he or she will be able to take in enough children to make a decent income. State or provincial laws typically set limits on how many children a caregiver can look after, so this may require hiring another person to act as an assistant. Also, most locations have licensing requirements. Furthermore, patience is a necessary quality for dealing with so many children on a day-to-day basis, and not everyone possesses it. Yards must be safe, allergies must be considered, and toys, books, and learning activities must all be provided as well.


Writing and/or editing work is an excellent choice for those with top-notch writing, editing, and grammar skills. Some experience is usually required to find enough work to write and edit on a steady basis. Hourly rates can be high, especially for business writing or copywriting. but there is stiff competition for these types of jobs. Doing writing and editing work from home part-time while still employed elsewhere full-time is a good way of getting some experience before venturing into this kind of work as a main source of income. The work is not always steady, however, so having a few clients before going freelance, along with some money saved to cover basic living expenses for at least a few months, is highly recommended by many experienced writers and copywriters.


Medical transcription is a great choice for a fast typist with training in transcription and medical knowledge. People can check with local hospitals and doctor's offices to see what the demand is in their area for those who want to provide this service from home. The work can be steady and pay well. Opportunities for legitimate remote work do exist, but it is probably better to gain local experience and references first before applying for remote transcription jobs as you would be more likely to be hired.


Many small and medium-sized businesses need outside bookkeeping services. People who have the right education and experience may find that bookkeeping work from home can provide them with a steady income when they have a few regular clients. They should check the demand for this service by calling local businesses to introduce themselves and their service, and they can also place ads in a local newspaper.
