Before you go further....

Is it a scam?

There are thousands of ads on the internet and in newspapers that advertise work from home jobs. Before you jump feet first please ask yourself a few questions. Does this sound too good to be true? Do they promise big money for so little of your time and effort? Do they want you to pay them money? I would be wary of anyone promising that you will make $5000 a month for working part-time.
Please check with the better business bureau, or google the name of the company with the word scam before even considering any work at home job.

Do you have a Customer Service Background?

Try Telecommuting

Telecommuting from home puts you in a virtual call center. These jobs allow you to work full or part time from your computer. Telecommuting can be either inbound calls or outbound. Most companies require that you have a noise free enviroment with no distractions. A computer that measures up to their specifications, a high Speed internet connection, virus and spyware protection, a corded phone plugged into a landline dedicated to business only, and a noise cancelling corded headset.

Do you like to type like the wind?
