Work At Home Scams: Who Can I Trust?

I want to work from home. I stay at home with our 2 year old son. But I am unsure about who to trust in regards to employment for staying at home. Any Advice?

Dear Mom Who Wants To Work At Home,

First of all let me say that there are real jobs that moms and others can do from home. However, there are also many scams out there. I hope the information I provide here can point you in the right direction as to who you can trust and who you should not trust.

One of the big warning signs of a scam would be a job that requires you to invest money. You should never pay to work from home. An employer should pay you and not the other way around. There are several reputable companies that hire people that want to work from home. I would also like to honestly point out that those jobs that say make jewelry or gifts at home or stuff envelopes at home are, sadly, mostly scams in my experience.

I have put together a list of companies that hire people from home below. You can do these jobs in the comfort of your own home. However, they do require a computer and phone and some do require a couple other pieces of office equipment depending on the job you are qualified for.
You would apply for these jobs like any other. Specifically, by submitting your resume.

Here are a few reputable companies that can be trusted. However, as always, you still have to do what is best for you. I also suggest looking up a company with the better business bureau and do online searches about their credibility before you decide to take a job with a company you are not familiar with.

I will post the link to each of these at home job companies and it will take you to their website.
