Does anyone know of any Good Work at Home Companies?

I was wondering if any of my Gather friends know of any good, legitimate work at home companies that I can do in my spare time.  I am a ChaCha guide, but it is a little slow right now.  I also am a Mturker.   Those are the only ones that I know of.  Do any of you have suggestions or links.  I would love some leads.

Thanks.

I wish I did!

If I did, I'd be rich! LOL There are many, and it's almost impossible to sort the good ones out from the scams.

When someone finds some to share, let me know!

I worked part time for 1800flowers from home through the holidays last year. It can be good if you have a headset that plugs into your phone and you can have no background noise.
Live Ops is another one you could try out, they require a fee for background check, but it is legitimate and you can pick your own schedule. Still you need a headset. With Live Ops you are an independant contractor and it is competitive.
Hope that helps!

What is a Mturker?
Richelle W. Nov 18, 2008, 7:02pm EST
I have a cousin who worked for Live Ops, so it is legitimate, and west at home is also the real thing because one of my closest friends is working for them. I don't know much about these work from home jobs, but I do know they're legitimate.

I have heard good things about West. A lot of Live Ops agents work for them as well.

Mturk'er are through Amazon, you get $ or gift cards for Amazon. You pick what you want to work on a "hit" (Human intellignece) and get paid anything from .01 to 12.00 or more per hit. It is kind of hard to explain, but it is easy and I have been doing it a few minutes to an hour or so a day, and I made $75.00 in a month. Here is the website https://www.mturk.com. It is easy and paid for a couple of Christmas presents for the kids.

Gather and chacha. If you are interested in mystery shopping I can give the name of one that I use. They don't pay a lot, but if they have some in your area that are close by it might take less than an hour for $7 a job

Good luck.

I don't know of anything. I hope you find somthing though.

Cha Cha is the only one I am aware of. There is always mystery shopping. My wife writes reviews for extra money.

I've been doing data entry work for about three years for Hausernet.com..........I get lots of "junk" mail and have to code each piece of mail onto a special web site.........one of the perks is that I get around 8 or 9 free magazine subscriptions, so that's great, as well as getting paid.....I get .25 per piece of mail........I've gotten as many as 30 to 40 pieces of mail in just ONE day, but the amount of mail one gets builds up over time....it also helps if one lives in a larger city, as that means more mail to do. They pay like every three months.......I just got a check awhile back for like $236.00!!!!!!

I work from home, but it is not an official one. Sorry I cannot help you
Cecilia Lyne Nov 30, 2008, 8:25am EST
Nope I have never done it before ~ sorry.

I got a couple of good suggestions from reading the comments. I've worked for some legit mystery shopping services.

There are some companies that do hire home workers, but the one that my friend has worked at for 23 years just started making employees go into the office. Now, isn't that backwards?

i wish i knew of some also

I've been trying for ages to find a good, legitimate source of work from home that doesn't require sales or telephone calls. It's hard to talk on the phone with 2 young children either interrupting or making noise!

However, I do alot of surveys for $$ or points for prizes. I also do youdata.com - it doesn't make a lot but it's new and I hope it will grow - view ads for $$, but not your typical paid-to-click kind. You have to have a cell phone though in order to get your activation code.

If you want my survey/referral links, pm me and I'll be happy to send it. Gather is probably my best "earner" though.

I have a home business with a team called Work at Home United. It's very legit! But, if you're looking more for an at-home job.... I can't help a whole lot. I've heard of LiveOps, West at Home, and ChaCha. Also, there is a company called Ameriplan. It's a home business, however, I believe you get weekly pay as well.
