Do those work from home sites really work?

Question

There are all kinds of things on the market today. I heard of one called autopilot and another called the survey revenue system. I understand google also hires people to do some work for them online. There are a lot out there that sound like scams. With a four year old and a limited education and work background, I'm curious if anyone knows of any, whether or not they work, and how much do you make doing the program?

Thanks in advance.

Another option for you is to be part of a virtual call center, which is one of the growing work at home businesses today



Read this MSNBC's article on this industry http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7739611/ns/business-us_business/t/call-center-agents-without-call-centers/#.TknJns1lYjw



AOL also published an article about virtual call centers, and named it as one of the best work at home jobs http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/01/27/work-from-home-jobs-for-retirees/



Some companies where you can apply



Alpine Access http://www.alpineaccess.com = no fees and you will be considered as an employee, not as an independent contractor



LiveOps http://www.liveops.com/ = considers agents as independent contractors; no upfront fee but requires applicants to pay for the background check



Of course, you can also choose to start your own business from home. It will depend on what you can do, what suits you and what could fit in your resources.

Answer 2

Not in my experience. I've personally tried almost a dozen and have yet to find one that was legit & profitable.

I've found the best way to work from home is to start your own business.

Good luck!

Answer 3

My advice is don't get involved with those kinds of jobs, it usually ends horribly... Just try and find a safe job, or perhaps on recommended from a friend.
