Have you found a legitimate job working from home? If so, what are the benefits to working from home? Please share your comments.

Below, I’ve listed what I think are the benefits to working from home:

1) Save on gas
- This is a no brainer! With high gas prices today, working from home is a blessing

2) Cut out the commute time.
- No more traffic jams and late hours.

3) Spend more time with your family.
- This is my number one reason to working from home.

4) Be the boss.
- This is my number two reason to working from home.

5) Hours are flexible.
- I can come and go as I please — if my child is sick, if he has yet another day off of school or if we want to take a two-week family vacation, I can arrange my schedule around those needs.

Finding legitimate jobs working from home is certainly important. If you want to try searching job ads, check out sites such as moneymakingmommy.com, guru.com or womenforhire.com as a starting point. Visit those sites for further information.

* Is your business legally prepared?

Telecommuting positions are also advertised in local newspapers, at craiglist.org, or even occasionally at major job sites like careerbuilder.com, monster.com, Yahoo!HotJobs. Please be careful, even legitimate job boards may advertise work at home opportunities that are not legitimate. Always keep your guards up when applying for telecommuting positions by asking all the necessary questions and researches first. Never provide personal information unless you’ve investigated the company further. A good place to check out a companies legitimacy is at the BBB.org website and for news and alerts, consumer protection and anti-trust information visit the Federal Trade Commission website.

Ask yourself the following questions:
* What duties will I have to perform?
* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?
* Who will pay me?
* When will I get my first paycheck?
* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program? Do these include supplies, equipment and membership fees?

Remember, if you’re applying for a job with a well-known company, it’s wise to always ask questions during an interview.

You might also consider a work at home job by contacting your previous employers with a proposal to work for them from your home. Highlight the benefits for both you and the company.

Finally, consider starting your own home-based business. Below are a few places to help you jump start your business. If what you’re looking for isn’t listed, please let me know and I will find the resource:

…and many more. You can find additional resources on my right side bar.

If you have a legitimate work from home job, please share your thoughts about your successes and the great benefits to working from home

Thanks and good luck,
Sonia
