Does anyone have any good suggestions for "work at home" opportunities?
I am especially interested in Customer Service Call Center or Medical Transcription. Thanks for the help!

- You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://wa7.info . Many of these companies have been in business for several years
- Hi Sandra K , There are many legitimate work from home opportunities available to you. There are also many scams out there. You will need to do your home work to keep from getting burned. I have a BS degree in engineering and for several years I worked as a structural engineer on nuclear power plants. So you may find that I am giving you a few more details than you desire. But that is how engineers are! Eventually I went off to Bible College and began pastoring full time. As a pastor I was not making enough money to support my family of four. Forsaking my calling was not an option. Neither did I desire to go back to work in corporate America. Traffic, bosses, and other considerations pushed me to work from home. The first thing you need to decide is, are you looking for a JOB or a business opportunity. Each one is very different. A job may offer you more security and a steady paycheck but you are building the owners dreams not yours. A job should not have any or very little start cost because the owner is taking care of the overhead. A business is not a job. You are the owner and you are the one taking the risk. But you are also the one that will reap the rewards for your success. You are working toward your dreams not someone else’s. Yes, with a business of your own there will be a start up cost. But as you know even a child’s lemonade stand has a start up cost. The parents may buy the lemons, sugar, and paper cups for them but there is a start up cost. So first decide do you desire a job where you may have security but you are helping someone else achieve their dreams. Or do you desire a business of your own. You take the risk but you also reap the rewards of your success. For me I am willing to take the risk of building my own business. If you decide to start your own business there are some things to consider. First, you need to decide how much money you are willing to invest to get started. Yes there is a cost to start a business, even when starting a lemonade stand. Second, you need to decide if you desire to market a product or a service. Which ever you do make sure that it is a commodity that is in demand.

Over 90% of businesses fail in their first year. Then the majority of the other 10% fail in the next 4 years. So chose a business that has some time on its’ side. Fourth, make sure the compensation is worth your time and effort. Fifth, make sure the person you are working with has the ability to mentor and coach you. Most home base businesses fail because the person does not get any one on one mentoring. No successful business person makes it on their own. They always have a source for coaching and mentoring. The source is often the combination of books and individuals. I know this has been long but I hope it has been of value for you. Much success as you go through this journey of life. You will have success. To check out what I do type in http://www.EasyLivingNow.com in your web browser. Brian
- I suggest joining some reputable work-at-home forums/communities where you can review or join in conversations with others in the same situation. They also have specific folders on different companies/jobs so you can learn about different opportunities. Some good forums are: http://real-wah-jobs.com/forum/index.php http://www.workathomespace.com/forum/ http://www.workathomemafia.com/forum.htm http://www.workplacelikehome.com/forum/index.php http://www.worldwideworkathome.com/forum/ Also, read some articles here about working at home, choosing wah opportunities, starting a home-based business, scams & more: http://www.thewahmshack.com/articledirectory/ Last, but not least, I have put together a Scam Resource page with several links pertaining to avoiding work at home scams. I hope you'll find it helpful. Here is the link: http://www.thewahmshack.com/resources/Scams.php Good luck to you!
- I have a couple suggestions for working at home opportunities. I think your best income opportunity would be to start a home based business. However I'm not sure of ones that are in your detailed message. You stated that your interested in Customer service call center or Medical transcription. There's a couple places that you can look into. west is one of them that has a call center that you were referring to and there are a few Medical transcription places as well. I think you need to have at least 40 WPM and a certain Internet speed in order to be hired though.
