Using Keywords to Find Legitimate Telecommuting Job Leads


Many people are choosing telecommuting as an option to bring in an income while being at home. Whatever the reasons that we choose to work at home, the one thing we all have in common is the problem of locating legitimate jobs online. We often come online with the idea that finding a job online will be easy.

Unfortunately it’s not usually that easy. What you will often run into are the scams for working at home. Why is that though? We often find the job search websites and plug in two common keywords. These two keywords are often the reason many of us give up on finding a legitimate job because all that pulls up are the scams.

The keywords I’m speaking of are:

•Work at home

•Work from home

--> With the keywords “work at home,” you’re almost 100% guaranteed to pull up scams or business opportunities, and not the legitimate jobs. Now don’t get me wrong, there can be legit jobs in these keywords. Iit takes much longer to find them, and it’s much harder to locate them. In my 4 plus years of working at home, I’ve discovered lesser used keywords that yield me much better results.

Popular Keywords:

•Telecommuting

•Telecommute

•Telecommuter

--> These three keywords are second to “work at home” in their popularity. A pro of these keywords is that many leads will be listed with them. I find legitimate job leads using these keywords every time I search with them. I also find the scams, but overall these keywords are great to use with your job search.

7 More Keywords to Use

•Must have home office
•1099
•IC or independent contractor
•Virtual office and virtual
•Remote contractor
•Off-site
•Freelance

--> Next on the list are these 7 keywords. Next to telecommuting, these are my favorite. Often they will pull up legitimate jobs. You won’t always find a good variety of leads all the time. Sometimes the deeper you dig, the better the jobs and the better your chance that hundreds of other people haven’t found that same job.

Last 3 Keywords to Try

•Must have DSL
•Home-based
•Home-based employee

--> Last, I use these 3 keywords when finishing up my job search. I don’t always find leads with these keywords on every job search site I go to, but the more job search sites you go to, the better your chance you’ll find leads with all these keywords. You can find a list of over 25 job search sites at [http://www.mommysplace.net/work_at_home_job_sites.html]

Basically, the more keywords you use and the more job sites you go to, the better your chance at locating legitimate job leads. Even if it takes you a few hours a week to do your searching, with all the keywords and job search sites, it’s worth it in the end if you land a job!

Another thing to keep in mind for speeding up the job search is to know what a scam looks like so you can avoid it. I’ve gotten to the point where I can usually just read the title of the “job” and know right away it’s a scam. If I do click in a job lead, within a few seconds I can determine if it’s a scam or sketchy. I wasn’t able to do that when I first started out in the telecommuting field, though. In my time of being scammed and reading others being scammed, I discovered the common scams and the common red flags. Read more about scams, red flags, and links to research scams at [http://www.mommysplace.net/work_at_home_scams.html]

In closing, I’d like to say that using these keywords is a good start. When you find legitimate jobs, really search through the description and see what keywords they use. When you find a new keyword, jot that down and add it to your keyword list. The more keywords you use, the better your chance of finding and landing a legitimate job!

Happy Job Hunting!

Legitimate Telecommute Jobs


A lot of us have a dream to work from our homes and always be near our family members. Today, this is definitely realistic, but not always an easy option. So if you are looking for legitimate telecommute jobs, look for those that do not ask for money. Never pay to work - you should get paid to work! A legitimate job will never ask for money.

While you research for telecommuting jobs, check if the company is listed with the Better Business Bureau. Also, check if any complaints are filed against it. Chances of a newly registered company being legitimate are less than a well-established company. To gather more information, e-mail or call the organization directly.

A legitimate business will have a live person to answer your queries; if they don't, it could be a scam. Exaggerating the potential pay is also a sign that the company may not be legitimate. Be leery if the job states no experience required, after all, few companies hire anyone without work experience. Apply only if you are qualified and know the salary structure for the position. Remember and understand this while looking at job listings.

Telecommuter jobs are required to make cold calls or prospects and set appointments with clients. As in any other job, telecommuting jobs needs dedicated and result-oriented service.

A telecommuter can earn approximately $10-$15 per hour for beginners, depending upon their level of skill and experience. They are then upgraded within 30 to 60 days if they provide quality results consistently. Financial incentives as well as bonuses are offered along with the hourly rate.

A telecommuter must be customer friendly and available for a minimum of four to six hours a day, five days a week. There are many real telecommuting jobs available, but many people don't realize is that they need to work hard. If you are not prepared for this facet you may end up giving up the job that could have been a great opportunity.

A telecommuter who wants to work from home needs to learn to manage one's time, as opportunities are plenty. So make yourself efficient and hardworking, and be selective regarding the kind of clients you wish to work with once you have gained experience. Telecommuting job is not a technical job.

Locating Legitimate Telecommute Jobs


It may seem that legitimate telecommute jobs can be difficult to find, but this does not have to be the case. Legitimate telecommute jobs are available to those who are willing to spend the time and energy to acquire them. Because these types of positions are in high demand, the competition is fierce. For those who seek legitimate telecommute positions, they must be able to spend a many long hours in the job search, and must be willing to face many disappointments along the way.

As with any type of job, there are disadvantages that should be taken into consideration prior to seeking telecommuting opportunities. A person who chooses to telecommute must be capable of supervising him- or herself and must be disciplined enough to perform job duties without constant scrutiny. The ability to work without becoming victim to the distractions present in a home environment is also crucial. One must also realize that working in a telecommuting capacity removes the social interaction of an office environment, which can cause one to feel lonely and displaced from society. While seeking legitimate telecommute jobs, the potential home-based employee will also seek challenges that can prove to be extremely discouraging. Many opportunities available are not legitimate and can cause those less informed to lose money and time while seeking gainful employment.

Though there are certainly burdens associated with home-based worked, many feel that legitimate telecommute jobs can hold vast advantages over typical office environments. Working from a home office, many find that duties can be performed more quickly and more accurately when not faced with the disruptions present in an office environment. Office politics are nearly completely removed from the equation when working from home, and many times, hours are set by the worker rather than by the employer. Because of the nature of telecommute jobs, they can be performed in virtually any location, allowing a person to work not only from home, but also from public venues such as coffee shops and libraries, or even while on vacation. Those who locate legitimate telecommute jobs also often find that they are more satisfied with their work, and tend to outperform their colleagues who may hold similar positions in traditional office environments.

Pay in telecommuting is sometimes less and sometimes more than the pay received in traditional office settings. Most legitimate companies realize that they are gaining a great deal from a home based worker who demonstrates excellence, thus that person can expect to be offered the same pay and benefits as their counterparts. Other telecommute positions do not pay as well, but one will generally find that, working from a home office, less money is spent on items such as business attire, meals, and travel expenditures.

Telecommute Jobs - Legitimate Finds


Are you searching for that perfect telecommute job? Have you been a fallen victim to work at home job companies? You are not alone. The scam companies generously scatter the Internet. Unfortunately these scammers are getting wiser at scamming honest job seekers. These job seekers are shelling out money that they should be spending on food or household bills...making the scammers richer by the dozens.

Well, I have good news for you... I'm going to share with you the top five things to look for in finding a "legitimate" telecommute job.

1. Does the company require a registration fee? A legitimate job site will not charge you these fees. This is the number one sign of a run-of-the-mill home based Internet scam. You are searching for a home job where the employer pays you...not the other way around.

Important: There are certain instances where a nominal fee is required...such as purchasing a foot pedal or a headset. These are all normal and required in order for you to do the job. In some cases you may be required to pay for a background check.

2. Is the website full of hype and spelling errors? If you come up on a telecommute company site full of hype and spelling/grammar errors...click away, you can bet that it's a scam site. And why would you even want to work for someone that presents themselves in this way? For one...I would be quite skeptical about wages with a site such as this. You will also find under all that hype (and usually in fine print) a hefty fee.

3. Does the website offer a telephone number or a working email address? A legitimate company will always provide a telephone number or their email address, or both. They want to be contacted because they want to hire you. You can't very well get the job if you can't get in touch with them, now can you? That should be one of the first things you look for.

4. Does the job site require a resume? A legitimate employer will want someone with certain skills and experience to do a specific job. Therefore, they will need a resume from you. Employers want experienced telecommuters that they know they can trust. This is where the resume comes in. This is a good sign! So far, so good...if you find a job website that does not require start-up or registration fees, is free from hype and spelling/grammar errors, provides a way of contact, and on top of all this requires a resume, it's looking pretty good. You're closer to finding an honest work at home job. Still one more important thing to look for...

5. Is the company vague about the job listing and promise outrageously high wages in a very short time? I'm sure you've seen the headlines such as "Make $1000 per week-Simple work from home!" Don't you think this deserves a red flag? Use your common sense here...there is no legitimate job that will pay you tons of money with little or no effort.

An employer that truly wants to hire you will tell you exactly what you will be doing and be upfront about the wages you will be earning.

Remember...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Pay attention to your gut instincts! Always do your own research on ANY company before applying.

Below are some resourceful sites where you can do your research. You can also do a simple search just by typing the company name and the word "scam" into Google.com.

-fraud.org/

-scambusters.org/

-welcome.bbb.org/

-ftc.gov/

Help! How Do I Find Legitimate Telecommuting Jobs?


Tips and Guidelines for today's frustrated, I need to quit my job, worker.

I suppose a lot of you are wondering, how can I replace my $50,000 yearly income. I'm here to tell you "yes" you can do it. My income last year was comparable to any professional.

Funny thing is last night I was at the YMCA( waiting for my daughters swim team pictures) reading my latest book, "Think and Grow Rich" by N. Hill and I noticed a lady sitting next to me reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. This of course immediately excited me and I broke into a conversation with her regarding all my legitimate telecommuting jobs in the past year. I don't know what exactly got into me, but I must say I really enjoyed talking about my legitimate telecommuting jobs.

How lucky am I that I work from home and I'm there to participate in my daughters activities. When our weekends arrive they are spent doing family activities, not catching up on work. So I feel blessed. I also feel that creativity is so important and the ability to think out of the box. We all need to work on this because I believe the school system has done a good job of making us all conform to the same thought process.

My typical day starts out with getting my twin daughters ready for school. Afterwards I exercise at the YMCA for one hour than precede to the grocery store to pick-up the evening's meal. I then check in with my employee (who's a great lady) and proceed to turn on my computer. I work until 2:30P.M., then pick-up my daughters and do activities with them which of course would be piano, homework, swim team practice. Evenings are spent talking to my husband, reading, and working online. I watch very little T.V. For one thing I find it totally boring. I do watch movies, but that's about it.

So I ask you, why do you keep working for a job that you don't like. Or maybe the problem is you have no time for your family, and your house is consistently a war zone of clutter?

So how do you find Legitimate Telecommuting jobs?

There are various ways, but I must inform you patience is a virtue. No business evolves overnight. This is a struggle for a lot of people including myself. You want to see the fruits of your labor now. All things need time and nurturing.

Tips in finding Legitimate Telecommuting Jobs?

1. Job Boards: Go to online sources such as Mega Job Boards. It is possible to find some legitimate telecommuting jobs here but be careful and do some screening. Also take a look at Niche job boards. These are boards that advertise jobs within a particular or category. Retailjobs.com is an example of an industry niche board.

2. Staffing Firms Web Sites: Because telecommuting been growing in popularity, there

Are some people who have found a career in searching job boards, newspapers, and

Search engines.

3. Create you own Job. If you have a special talent, such as technical writing or medical transcription create a job for yourself. Market yourself to companies. You also can start-up a small business in your home, such as a children's daycare center. Be creative and think out side of the box.

Please take time to look at my archives; they mention many of the legitimate telecommuting jobs that I am currently pursuing.

Finding Legitimate Telecommuting Jobs


There are actually legitimate telecommuting jobs on the internet. But mixed in with those are scams that people should avoid. Any offers that promise big money for the cost of a book or kit that they will send you are not really legitimate telecommuting jobs. It is a way for someone to sell you their products or services. There are many such ploys out there so be aware when you look for this type of job. There are companies and people that are marketing their products not looking for real employees. Some companies sell you a newsletter listing job openings this is usually legitimate and may be worthwhile depending on the cost and how often they send it out. Before you pay for a newsletter find out if anyone else has ever heard of it and the results that received using it.

There are many legitimate job boards that list regular jobs like Monster.com, Vault and Career Builder. They even list the occasional telecommuting jobs. You can directly inquire to the companies listed on the job boards to see if they hire telecommuters. You would send a letter and resume directly to the human resource department or person listed in the ad via email. Another good source of telecommuting jobs is Craig's list which lists all types of jobs around the country by job category. A telecommuting job will require you to send a letter, resume and fill out tax forms just like a regular job. It follows the same basic guidelines that you follow looking for a regular job. If you are a candidate with experience some job staffing sites like the Creative Group, Paladin, Robert Half and others may be able to help you. You can contact them through the website sending an email and resume.

Some of the types of jobs that can be legitimate telecommuting jobs are writers, graphic designers, web designers, software programmers and designers and other technical computer based skills. Some sales jobs like telemarketing can be done from home too. There are some clerical jobs like virtual assistants that act as secretaries for some companies or individuals. You will need your own computer, high speed internet connection and a phone. Some companies may provide you with the equipment but this is not usually the case. There are some jobs that are totally remote where you never have to go to the office and others that prefer local candidates because they want you to meet clients or show up at the office on occasion.

When using Craig's list look under job categories like writing, web design, technology, whatever your expertise to locate jobs that might be telecommuting. Be sure to include a letter and resume if requested when responding. If you are a software designer or web designer for example and have a local company that you want to work for contacting them directly is your best option. Find out the name of the person who is in charge of the department that you want to work like Technical Services then try to get an interview with the company. You can write a letter to the person then call them to set up an appointment. Once you have an interview you can discuss the benefits of telecommuting. If you have the necessary skills then the company will probably hire you.

There are various freelance boards that list telecommuting jobs that you must register and bid on the jobs. Many of these are good avenues for freelancers to try. Remember when seeking legitimate telecommuting jobs a good resume and cover letter to send via email is your best sales tool.

Legitimate Telecommute Jobs - What Are Your Options?


What is a legitimate telecommute job? Well, that is a loaded question that we will answer today. The invention of the internet has created a multitude of opportunities to make a living from anywhere in the world. Additionally, it has presented businesses with a unique opportunity to save money, as there is no need to lease large offices to get the job done. Over a decade later opportunities exist all over the place. Let's take a look at the most widely available careers.

The call center representative is by far and away the easiest position to locate. Firms are continuously hiring both inbound and outbound call takers. The positions themselves range from customer service representatives, sales representatives & lead generation representatives. In order to attain such a position, you will need to have at least some previous experience in a call center environment. You will also need to consider whether or not your home environment can support such a position. As a call taker, you will need to set up a small office area that will be free of barking dogs and crying children. If you are a parent with small children or own a boisterous dog, you may want to read on to determine if something else may be a better fit.

Another option in the world of legitimate telecommute jobs is web design. Todays firms know that in order to survive in a digital world, a strong web presence is a necessity. Web design agents can work on an independent contractor basis & have the freedom to work for a plethora of businesses. These positions typically pay higher than the above mentioned call center representative positions. The criteria for this job will be slightly different in that you will need an up to date computer & your work environment will not be as restrictive as you are not in constant contact with customers. If you do not have web design experience you will need to complete some training in HTML coding before applying.

The next career path that has become widely available is medical coding. As a medical coder you are able to work from home processing bills to insurance companies for hospitals or physicians offices. If you have experience working as a medical coder, positions are easily attainable and can be found on most job seeker search engines. The job will require a computer and knowledge of American Medical Association coding. The work environment is flexible as well since you will not be working on the phones.

The last mentionable option in the world of legitimate telecommute jobs is resume writing. In today's fast pace society, individuals change jobs more frequently than ever. Career change brings about the need for a well written and up to date resume. As a resume writer, you are again presented with an opportunity to act as an independent contractor for your own business. If you have a flare for writing and are interested in assisting individuals with presenting their work histories and job skills in a favorable light, this career may be your perfect fit. You may find this position listed in job seeker search engines or listed in classified advertisements. If you are ambitious you can create your own advertisement to present your services to the populace.

Legitimate Telecommute Jobs - How to Find Them


Finding legitimate telecommute jobs can be challenging because there are so many scams and misleading opportunities that come up when you use traditional "work at home" search terms. This article will share some alternate ways to hunt down the REAL telecommute jobs.

Before we get to those, first take a minute to put yourself in the mind-set of an employer who wants to hire people to work at home. Mr. Telecommute Employer may be eager to find good candidates, but would he be so eager that he would fill his advertisement with promises of great riches for little work? Would he offer you an easy job that pays thousands of dollars a week? Or would he be more focused on finding candidates that have the skills his company is looking for and paying them a salary that matches the complexity of work?

Okay - so that is one obstacle out of the way, avoid ads that sound like they are trying to convince you that you will get rich doing the easiest job ever.

Now, would Mr. Telecommute Employer also be so excited about his job opportunity that he would load the ad with exclamation points, dollar signs and other miscellaneous punctuation marks? Probably not.

Okay - another sign of an illegitimate telecommute job, avoid ads that use excessive punctuation.

Finally, would Mr. Telecommute Employer be so determined to find the right candidates that he would try to charge them money to work for him? Definitely NOT.

Okay - so there's another big sign of a scam, asking for money to work for them.

There are other warning signs of telecommuting scams, but those are three big ones that you'll see most often during your job search.

Now you know what to avoid, but how do you go about FINDING the legitimate telecommute jobs?

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, it's all about the search terms you use online. If you search for "work at home jobs" you will undoubtedly get tons of ads just like the ones I've described. In other words, not real jobs.

But let's go back to the mind of Mr. Telecommute Employer for a moment and ask ourselves, "What would he put in the ad to get the attention of potential telecommuters?"

Most likely he would include phrases like, "work remotely, telecommuting possible, partial telecommute considered, home office requirements, must be able to work independently," and so on.

Try searching on phrases like that and you should get many more legitimate job results than just searching on "work at home jobs".




Telecommuting (working from home) is fast becoming one of the hottest career choices today. People everywhere are escaping the rat race and enjoying the true freedom and flexibility that telecommuting can provide.

6 Legitimate Telecommute Jobs


Anyone who can make a living from home has achieved the true new American dream. They are sometimes hard to find and you have to watch out for fly by night places, but staying with it, you will find something that works out just fine for you. You will work from home.

Here a 6 legitimate telecommute jobs that are available and a brief description of what they entail as you work from home:


Customer service help desk. This can apply to almost any large corporation who needs someone to handle customer problems. This involves learning a lot about the company in question, its products and who does what inside the company so you will know who to contact to fix the customer's problem.
Data entry: This involves getting either paper or electronic downloads of information and entering it into a company's data base. Accuracy is important as is typing speed and punctuality. What is promised for Friday noon has to be ready by Friday noon and so on.
Consulting: If you have a particular trade or skill, you might get on as an online consultant for a company. The term consultant sounds like you need a bunch of degrees to qualify, but a plumber could be a consultant for a large home materials place. He would be available to help customers over the phone or via the internet.
Virtual Assistant: This is like being the electronic secretary to an executive except you won't be asked to fetch the coffee! These people book appointments, read and answer emails, plan trips, type reports and whatever else an on-site secretary does.
Sales Person: Some firms use only telephone sales people who work from home. Others, make phone calls to follow up on a sales call. This also becomes the job of the home sales follow up team.
Telemarketer: This one is hard on the nerves, but the pay can be quite good if you work for a place that pays commissions and not by the hour. Another benefit is that you can set your own hours usually for this one.

Some of the types of jobs that can be legitimate telecommuting jobs are writers, graphic designers, web designers, software programmers and designers and other technical computer based skills. Some sales jobs like telemarketing can be done from home too. There are some clerical jobs like virtual assistants that act as secretaries for some companies or individuals. You will need your own computer, high speed internet connection and a phone. Some companies may provide you with the equipment but this is not usually the case. There are some jobs that are totally remote where you never have to go to the office and others that prefer local candidates because they want you to meet clients or show up at the office on occasion.

When using Craig's list look under job categories like writing, web design, technology, whatever your expertise to locate jobs that might be telecommuting. Be sure to include a letter and resume if requested when responding. If you are a software designer or web designer for example and have a local company that you want to work for contacting them directly is your best option. Find out the name of the person who is in charge of the department that you want to work like Technical Services then try to get an interview with the company. You can write a letter to the person then call them to set up an appointment. Once you have an interview you can discuss the benefits of telecommuting. If you have the necessary skills then the company will probably hire you.

There are various freelance boards that list telecommuting jobs that you must register and bid on the jobs. Many of these are good avenues for freelancers to try. Remember when seeking legitimate telecommuting jobs a good resume and cover letter to send via email is your best sales tool.

Find A Legitimate Telecommuting Job With These Easy Tips


So you've made the decision to telecommute. How many of those newsletters have you signed up for that promise sending endless job opportunities straight to your email box once a week or some even every day? Many sites out there are dedicated to providing quality telecommuting job opportunities delivered straight to your email box on a frequent basis.

While this, in and of itself, isn't necessarily bad (there is a possibility you might find a nice telecommuting job this way), I'd like to shed some light on things you might not have considered. And armed with this new knowledge your job hunt could lead to a telecommuting job you love.

By all means stay subscribed to all those free job list newsletters. There's a possibility of finding one that matches your skills and you landing a good job. But below are three issues you need to consider before deciding to totally rely on these free job lists alone in your work from home job search.

Issue One:

So you've signed up for ten quality job lists that will be providing you with a plethora of job choices. You took a big step to finding your telecommuting dream job. But so did 100,000 other people!

I'm reminded of an email I received recently from a well-known free telecommuting job list site. After receiving an email stating that I had been pre-approved for a credit card, they asked in the personal signature of the email if I got a chance to apply for any of the last vacant jobs posted in their jobs database. Then they went on to say to hurry over before the vacancies are filled because this message was being read by over 127,000 people!

Now don't get me wrong, this website is providing a good service. These quality job lists are very popular and everybody and their mother are jumping on board fueled by their desire to work from home. Now given that these job lists provide about twenty or so telecommuting job leads in each issue, what are your chances of landing one of those jobs? That is if one happens to match your qualifications? And that brings me to my second point.

Issue Two:

You have certain skills, and yes, there are also skills you don't have. The jobs that are going to be sent to you are going to require their own set of skills. What are the chances that the jobs in those lists are going to match up perfectly to your job skill set? Slim at best. Unless your lucky or happen to be in a field where telecommuting jobs are abundant you might have trouble finding a good match. But even if you are in one of these special fields the competition for telecommuting jobs in these areas are even stiffer.

Now granted, you could go out and acquire the skills for a certain job through online courses, books, etc. But in the time it takes to do this, you can kiss that awesome job opportunity you saw goodbye. Because with 100,000+ potential candidates looking at it, it'll be gone within a few days. Wouldn't it make more sense to locate jobs that fit your qualifications from the start, rather than wading through endless free lists of jobs that don't fit you?

Issue Three:

Telecommuting is hot right now. Where do you think the truly "good" jobs for telecommuting are going to be found? The kind with companies dedicated in supporting you in your telecommuting efforts. Now, put yourself in the shoes of a manager in a reputable company looking to hire someone into a position that allows telecommuting. Are you going to list this job all over the internet boasting of its telecommuting opportunities?

Employers know there are a lot of people who would like to telecommute today. If they listed this job as such, they would be faced with the time-consuming task of scanning through endless resumes trying to find a candidate that actually meets the qualifications of the position. They know that most of those candidates' resumes won't meet the job skill set required and are only desperate job seekers who send out their resume at every kind of opportunity. An employer's time is better spent on other things. Always remember this in your job pursuit: The employer is looking for a qualified employee, not a telecommuter.

Now, don't get discouraged by all the negativity mentioned above. We're going to discuss how to find a good job so you can telecommute and spend more time with your family or whatever reason you have for wanting to telecommute.

But first I needed to open your eyes to some issues. There are great telecommuting jobs out there that fit your unique set of skills and passions. You'll just need to dig for them.

Here are some useful tips for finding them:

1. Treat your job search like a non-telecommute job search. Remember employers want employees, not telecommuters. It's common for a telecommuting job search to take up to three times as long as a traditional job search.

2. Go after the jobs that you are qualified for. Here's an idea: Go to the job boards that require employers to pay a hefty fee to list their job opportunity. There are many out there. This will help weed out the scam artists. Very few of them will want to lay down $200 or more to list their scam.

Go perform a search at several large job sites and place "telecommuting" or "telecommute" as the keyword search phrase, choose your category, and possibly narrow your search to your immediate location. Some of the better telecommuting jobs will require you to visit the office from time to time.

3. Do your job search by looking for companies that are telecommuter friendly rather than searching for individual jobs from the start. Just do a search in any major search engine for "telecommute friendly companies" or something similar. When you find them go to their websites and look for their available position openings. There's a possibility of finding a job that meets your skill set and desires.

4. And finally, one of the better ways to find telecommuting jobs is through a company dedicated to locating them for you. There are reputable companies who spend their time working with companies that are looking to hire telecommuters. Now granted some of these job list sites are better than others and you'll more than likely have to pay for the work the companies have done locating these job leads for you. They don't have large advertising budgets like the larger free online job search engines.

By going this route for finding a telecommuting job, you'll save yourself time and your competition for a particular job you are interested in will be a lot less. Fewer people hang out on the inside of these pay-for-access membership sites thus giving you the advantage for landing a job you find interesting.

These websites are a good resource to invest in. They are dedicated to providing work from home job seekers with legitimate telecommuting jobs without all the business "opportunities", mlm, and other unwanted scams that are so prevalent on the internet today.

These tips should get you headed in the right direction. If at first you don't succeed, don't give up. Eventually, you'll find that work from home job you desire and you can start the search for your job by using one or more of the methods above.

Tips for Finding a Legitimate Work-at-Home Job


One of the most disheartening things that can happen as you're looking for a work-at-home job is to be scammed. Unfortunately, there are people out there who are more than willing to take advantage of struggling moms looking for a telecommute position.

The number one thing to remember when you're looking for a job working from home is to always research any company you're thinking about applying with.

Also, and this is most important - never, never, never pay a fee to apply for or get a job. Legitimate companies do not charge a fee to prospective employees. A good place to check out any company is the Better Business Bureau online. You can look up the company you're interested in applying with there, and see if any complaints have been made about them.

Below are some tips for avoiding scams as you search for your perfect work-at-home job:

* Don't believe ridiculous claims of instant riches. There are no free rides in the telecommute world. Making an income requires work.

* Be cautious when dealing with unsolicited emails offering opportunities to work from home. These are most likely scams.

* Find out if there is a legitimate demand for the type of work you will be doing.

* Be suspicious if someone offers you an advance on your first paycheck. This is often an attempt to get your banking information.

* Check to see if there are any legal requirements or certifications necessary to do the type of work you are being offered.

* Ask for references of others working for the company.

Finally, don't lose hope. There are legitimate paying telecommute positions out there. It just takes a bit of detective work to protect yourself and insure the job you're getting is legitimate.

Legitimate Work at Home Jobs and Business Opportunities


So you want to work at home? Maybe you want to work at home because you can be home with your family... maybe you just want to be able to work in your pajamas. Maybe you want to shorten your commute? That five minute commute to the home office is pretty appealing to a lot of people.

In September of 2009, the Small Business Association reported approximately 15 million home-based businesses in the United States alone. Kate Lister, author of "Undress For Success" states at least 2.5 million people are telecommuting in the United States, not including the self-employed.

Many people are not happy with their jobs, their limited income, and the fact that their lives are dependent on a job for security. Others have lost their jobs and are looking for a way to supplement their unemployment benefits or replace lost income.

Whatever your reason is for wanting to work at home, you need to start making money right away so you can maintain your current lifestyle. Then, you need to be able to increase your income so that you can improve your financial situation.

Unfortunately, many people who want to work at home find that making money from home is not as easy as they thought it would be. Nothing is worse than working countless hours for no money... except maybe spending money on bogus business opportunities and trainings that don't work.

So, how do you distinguish between legitimate work at home jobs and business opportunities and the money sucking junk that is littering the Internet?

Legitimate Work at Home Jobs

Here, we are talking about working for someone else, or telecommuting. The easiest way to start telecommuting is to convince your current employer your job can be done either partially or completely from your home, without any negative effects to the existing business.

There are many jobs which can be done from home: accounts payable, accounts receivable, web design, customer support, marketing and project management are just a few jobs that can be done from home.

If you are good at your current job, you have built trust with your employer, and your job is not reliant on you being in the office (ie. answering phones, greeting customers) your boss may be open to letting you work at home.

Doing a search on Google for legitimate work at home jobs brings back millions of results so be careful and be smart. Research the company offering the job, know how you are going to be paid, and don't get involved in a job that makes you pay to be hired.

Legitimate Work at Home Business Opportunities

Business Opportunities come in all shapes and sizes, investment levels and earning potentials. There are millions of business opportunities on the Internet. Deciding which business is best for you can be very confusing...even overwhelming.

A business opportunity is not a job, it is a business. A home-based business can be as profitable or more profitable than a franchise or any other brick and mortar business. Most home business opportunities can be started for under $2,000, sometimes they cost little to nothing to start. With such low start up investments, anyone can work at home.

Imagine your investment in your home business is equal to the investment in a McDonalds Franchise. If you invested a million dollars or more to get started, you would take your business seriously. You would follow a business plan and educate yourself on the correct steps and actions to make your business successful. Your business would grow according to predictable, industry standards, due to your hard work, your team, and because McDonalds has a proven system in place.

A business opportunity, like a franchise, will not pay you by the hour, but it will pay you for your efforts, actions, knowledge, skills and determination. Just like the McDonalds franchise, you must follow a proven system. You must do what successful people are doing to become successful.

So how do you determine which business opportunity is the best one for you to invest your time and money into?

Above all, do something you love. Find something you are passionate about, something that you would do even if you never got paid. Then find a way to make money doing it. This is the path to financial freedom. When you play at your work, you are set free from financial worries.

Do your due diligence. Research the company, the products, the industry, the market, and the person who will be your mentor. Find out if there is a proven system, what will your daily, weekly and monthly money making actions be? What type of training is offered by the parent company? What type of training is offered by your mentor?

How, when, and how much do you get paid for your efforts? If you need to replace your current income, what do you have to do to reach that income level? For example, if you are currently making $1,000 a week at your job-how soon can you consistently replace that income? What will it take to double that? Triple it?

Working at home for someone else requires discipline, but working at home for your own business requires a burning desire to succeed, a proven system to get there, and laser focus to keep you on track.

Researching Legitimate Work at Home Jobs


When you start searching for work at home jobs on the internet, you will inevitably be faced with a dilemma: how can you tell for sure which companies are legitimate and which are scams? Sometimes it is almost impossible to know for sure, especially with new companies or those who are just beginning to build their internet presence.

However, there are several things you can do to research these companies to find out more:

1) Quality and focus of website

First things first; take a close look at their website. Does it have a neat and professional appearance? Do they focus more on their products and services rather than the fact that they hire telecommuters? Do they have a bunch of testimonials from people who are (supposedly) working for them and raving about what a great opportunity it is?

Whether you have prior business experience or not, you should be able to tell at a glance whether the company website seems to be legitimate. Even so, don't stop here because even some scammers know how to make a site look professional - they could even get a pre-made template to use.

Also take a moment to check the Whois information on the domain name. This will tell you when the domain name was registered, and by whom. If the domain was just registered a month ago and the company website says they have been in business for years, that may be a warning. (Not always - sometimes the company has focused all of their attention to offline business and are just now creating an internet presence. Still, be cautious.)

2) Contact information

On the company website should be some real contact information, like a telephone number and street address. If there is a telephone number, call and see if you get routed directly to voicemail. If there is an address, pull up a map service like Mapquest or Yahoo Maps and enter the address. Does it give you directions, or tell you the address doesn't exist? Do a Yellow Pages search and see if another company comes up for that address. I once researched a company that I was almost positive was legitimate but when I looked up their address I found out a funeral parlor was actually at that address. (Yes, I called to verify it; the funeral parlor had been there for years.)

3) Do they ask for money?

This really should be number one on the list of warning signs to look for, but sometimes scammers are much more subtle about it and they don't ask for money until you decide to apply for the job. If you see there's a fee right when you get to the website, then you really don't need to research any further! Legitimate employers will not ask for money, period. I don't care what they call it, an administrative fee, a processing fee, a "prove you're serious" fee, or any other kind of fee. If they ask for money, that is your cue to exit the website and not look back.

4) Check out the scam websites

There are a few great scam reporting sites that can be helpful when researching a company, like scam dot com and scambusters dot org. Visit these sites and search for the company you are researching. But don't stop there! Also search for any other information you have, like the name of the owner, hiring manager, and so on. If any reports come up, you will be able to read of others' experiences with the company. (By the way, just because a company is reported on these websites does not necessarily mean it's a scam. Sometimes disgruntled ex-employees try to stir up trouble, or there could be reports of poor customer service that weren't resolved satisfactorily, etc. Still, these sites are a good way to learn more about the company in general.)

5) General internet searches

You can also perform a few targeted internet searches for the company name, owner's name, domain name, and so on. Use quotation marks like this: "http://www.companydomain.com", and "XYZ company". Any webpages, blogs, or discussion forums that mention those terms will come up in your search. Most likely, if the company has been hiring telecommuters for some time, you will find plenty of discussions about them on popular work at home forums. This is a good thing because you can hear directly from people who work for the company, or people who can tell you for sure that it's a scam. Even so, take all this information with a grain of salt. Gather as much information as you can so you can make an informed decision.

6) Your gut usually knows more than your brain

Finally, your most powerful weapon against scams is your own gut! If something doesn't feel right, pay attention to that hunch. Don't let your desperation take control and push you into making decisions you will regret later. If your goal is to find legitimate work at home jobs, then keep searching until you find something you feel absolutely confident is for real. There ARE plenty of legitimate companies that hire telecommuters, you just need to be patient in hunting them down.

How to find good keywords so people will find you when they search

You Can Make Money From Home With Legitimate Work - Telecommuting


Employers are steadily creating legitimate work from home jobs, mainly because they are seeing several advantages in letting their employees make money from home. By making online careers part of their business models, companies are reducing their employee turnover, saving money and winning positions on influential "Best of... " lists.

People who are able to make money from home enjoy several benefits. Just for example, you eliminate the stress of commuting every day. Just pour yourself a cup of coffee, grab a slice of toast, settle in at your desk, and you're ready to start making money. No traffic jams and no need to dress up.

Some companies that offer legitimate work from home jobs are willing to pay their employees' computer, Internet access and telephone expenses. But, most people have those anyway, so if an employer doesn't pay these costs, it's usually not a big deal. Making money by telecommuting with a legitimate job is an opportunity that simply can't be beat.

Teach for America is one example of the employers that have created many opportunities for people who are seeking online careers. A not for profit company, Teach for America's mission is to change the lives of low-income children by providing them with an excellent education. It looks for committed people who have a strong leadership background.

According to the 2012 CNN Money list of 100 Best Companies, Teach for America is number 4, on the list of the 85 Best Companies that allow their employees to telecommute at least 20% of the time. Eight out of every ten Teach for America employees is a regular telecommuter.

Teach for America's telecommuting positions are legitimate work from home jobs. Most involve remote administrative support. You can make money from home with one of these jobs: the pay depends on your location and experience, but averages about $28,000 per year.

As you can see, legitimate work from home jobs can be profitable for those seeking online careers. But is the income you can earn always the issue? Is quality of life actually the root of the endless desire you feel, to chuck your job, find something new and become a virtual agent? Probably so! The question really is what would you give, to be able to do your job, any job, from your dining room table?

The best solution to this ever taunting issue is to take the steps to investigate, and discover just how many amazingly new options have evolved over the last five years. You'd be amazed!

Locating Legitimate Telecommute Jobs


It may seem that legitimate telecommute jobs can be difficult to find, but this does not have to be the case. Legitimate telecommute jobs are available to those who are willing to spend the time and energy to acquire them. Because these types of positions are in high demand, the competition is fierce. For those who seek legitimate telecommute positions, they must be able to spend a many long hours in the job search, and must be willing to face many disappointments along the way.

As with any type of job, there are disadvantages that should be taken into consideration prior to seeking telecommuting opportunities. A person who chooses to telecommute must be capable of supervising him- or herself and must be disciplined enough to perform job duties without constant scrutiny. The ability to work without becoming victim to the distractions present in a home environment is also crucial. One must also realize that working in a telecommuting capacity removes the social interaction of an office environment, which can cause one to feel lonely and displaced from society. While seeking legitimate telecommute jobs, the potential home-based employee will also seek challenges that can prove to be extremely discouraging. Many opportunities available are not legitimate and can cause those less informed to lose money and time while seeking gainful employment.

Though there are certainly burdens associated with home-based worked, many feel that legitimate telecommute jobs can hold vast advantages over typical office environments. Working from a home office, many find that duties can be performed more quickly and more accurately when not faced with the disruptions present in an office environment. Office politics are nearly completely removed from the equation when working from home, and many times, hours are set by the worker rather than by the employer. Because of the nature of telecommute jobs, they can be performed in virtually any location, allowing a person to work not only from home, but also from public venues such as coffee shops and libraries, or even while on vacation. Those who locate legitimate telecommute jobs also often find that they are more satisfied with their work, and tend to outperform their colleagues who may hold similar positions in traditional office environments.

Pay in telecommuting is sometimes less and sometimes more than the pay received in traditional office settings. Most legitimate companies realize that they are gaining a great deal from a home based worker who demonstrates excellence, thus that person can expect to be offered the same pay and benefits as their counterparts. Other telecommute positions do not pay as well, but one will generally find that, working from a home office, less money is spent on items such as business attire, meals, and travel expenditures.

Help! How Do I Find Legitimate Telecommuting Jobs?


Tips and Guidelines for today's frustrated, I need to quit my job, worker.

I suppose a lot of you are wondering, how can I replace my $50,000 yearly income. I'm here to tell you "yes" you can do it. My income last year was comparable to any professional.

Funny thing is last night I was at the YMCA( waiting for my daughters swim team pictures) reading my latest book, "Think and Grow Rich" by N. Hill and I noticed a lady sitting next to me reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. This of course immediately excited me and I broke into a conversation with her regarding all my legitimate telecommuting jobs in the past year. I don't know what exactly got into me, but I must say I really enjoyed talking about my legitimate telecommuting jobs.

How lucky am I that I work from home and I'm there to participate in my daughters activities. When our weekends arrive they are spent doing family activities, not catching up on work. So I feel blessed. I also feel that creativity is so important and the ability to think out of the box. We all need to work on this because I believe the school system has done a good job of making us all conform to the same thought process.

My typical day starts out with getting my twin daughters ready for school. Afterwards I exercise at the YMCA for one hour than precede to the grocery store to pick-up the evening's meal. I then check in with my employee (who's a great lady) and proceed to turn on my computer. I work until 2:30P.M., then pick-up my daughters and do activities with them which of course would be piano, homework, swim team practice. Evenings are spent talking to my husband, reading, and working online. I watch very little T.V. For one thing I find it totally boring. I do watch movies, but that's about it.

So I ask you, why do you keep working for a job that you don't like. Or maybe the problem is you have no time for your family, and your house is consistently a war zone of clutter?

So how do you find Legitimate Telecommuting jobs?

Find A Legitimate Telecommuting Job With These Easy Tips


So you've made the decision to telecommute. How many of those newsletters have you signed up for that promise sending endless job opportunities straight to your email box once a week or some even every day? Many sites out there are dedicated to providing quality telecommuting job opportunities delivered straight to your email box on a frequent basis.

While this, in and of itself, isn't necessarily bad (there is a possibility you might find a nice telecommuting job this way), I'd like to shed some light on things you might not have considered. And armed with this new knowledge your job hunt could lead to a telecommuting job you love.

By all means stay subscribed to all those free job list newsletters. There's a possibility of finding one that matches your skills and you landing a good job. But below are three issues you need to consider before deciding to totally rely on these free job lists alone in your work from home job search.

Issue One:

So you've signed up for ten quality job lists that will be providing you with a plethora of job choices. You took a big step to finding your telecommuting dream job. But so did 100,000 other people!

I'm reminded of an email I received recently from a well-known free telecommuting job list site. After receiving an email stating that I had been pre-approved for a credit card, they asked in the personal signature of the email if I got a chance to apply for any of the last vacant jobs posted in their jobs database. Then they went on to say to hurry over before the vacancies are filled because this message was being read by over 127,000 people!

Now don't get me wrong, this website is providing a good service. These quality job lists are very popular and everybody and their mother are jumping on board fueled by their desire to work from home. Now given that these job lists provide about twenty or so telecommuting job leads in each issue, what are your chances of landing one of those jobs? That is if one happens to match your qualifications? And that brings me to my second point.

Issue Two:

You have certain skills, and yes, there are also skills you don't have. The jobs that are going to be sent to you are going to require their own set of skills. What are the chances that the jobs in those lists are going to match up perfectly to your job skill set? Slim at best. Unless your lucky or happen to be in a field where telecommuting jobs are abundant you might have trouble finding a good match. But even if you are in one of these special fields the competition for telecommuting jobs in these areas are even stiffer.

Now granted, you could go out and acquire the skills for a certain job through online courses, books, etc. But in the time it takes to do this, you can kiss that awesome job opportunity you saw goodbye. Because with 100,000+ potential candidates looking at it, it'll be gone within a few days. Wouldn't it make more sense to locate jobs that fit your qualifications from the start, rather than wading through endless free lists of jobs that don't fit you?

Issue Three:

Telecommuting is hot right now. Where do you think the truly "good" jobs for telecommuting are going to be found? The kind with companies dedicated in supporting you in your telecommuting efforts. Now, put yourself in the shoes of a manager in a reputable company looking to hire someone into a position that allows telecommuting. Are you going to list this job all over the internet boasting of its telecommuting opportunities?

Employers know there are a lot of people who would like to telecommute today. If they listed this job as such, they would be faced with the time-consuming task of scanning through endless resumes trying to find a candidate that actually meets the qualifications of the position. They know that most of those candidates' resumes won't meet the job skill set required and are only desperate job seekers who send out their resume at every kind of opportunity. An employer's time is better spent on other things. Always remember this in your job pursuit: The employer is looking for a qualified employee, not a telecommuter.

Now, don't get discouraged by all the negativity mentioned above. We're going to discuss how to find a good job so you can telecommute and spend more time with your family or whatever reason you have for wanting to telecommute.

But first I needed to open your eyes to some issues. There are great telecommuting jobs out there that fit your unique set of skills and passions. You'll just need to dig for them.

Here are some useful tips for finding them:

1. Treat your job search like a non-telecommute job search. Remember employers want employees, not telecommuters. It's common for a telecommuting job search to take up to three times as long as a traditional job search.

2. Go after the jobs that you are qualified for. Here's an idea: Go to the job boards that require employers to pay a hefty fee to list their job opportunity. There are many out there. This will help weed out the scam artists. Very few of them will want to lay down $200 or more to list their scam.

Go perform a search at several large job sites and place "telecommuting" or "telecommute" as the keyword search phrase, choose your category, and possibly narrow your search to your immediate location. Some of the better telecommuting jobs will require you to visit the office from time to time.

3. Do your job search by looking for companies that are telecommuter friendly rather than searching for individual jobs from the start. Just do a search in any major search engine for "telecommute friendly companies" or something similar. When you find them go to their websites and look for their available position openings. There's a possibility of finding a job that meets your skill set and desires.

4. And finally, one of the better ways to find telecommuting jobs is through a company dedicated to locating them for you. There are reputable companies who spend their time working with companies that are looking to hire telecommuters. Now granted some of these job list sites are better than others and you'll more than likely have to pay for the work the companies have done locating these job leads for you. They don't have large advertising budgets like the larger free online job search engines.

By going this route for finding a telecommuting job, you'll save yourself time and your competition for a particular job you are interested in will be a lot less. Fewer people hang out on the inside of these pay-for-access membership sites thus giving you the advantage for landing a job you find interesting.

These websites are a good resource to invest in. They are dedicated to providing work from home job seekers with legitimate telecommuting jobs without all the business "opportunities", mlm, and other unwanted scams that are so prevalent on the internet today.

These tips should get you headed in the right direction. If at first you don't succeed, don't give up. Eventually, you'll find that work from home job you desire and you can start the search for your job by using one or more of the methods above.
