Hi there,

Looking to work from home while the kids are at school or maybe at night after they are in bed. There are so many scams out there, I was hoping to get feedback from people that are actually working for a legitimate company. Trying to earn some cash and still be at home with the kids. Wanted some type of data entry position. I am NOT looking to sell products. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try hiremymom.com, odesk.com and biztant.com. All legit sites, but as an independant contractor 1) you have to negotiate the contracts and verify the job offers and 2) you have to pay your taxes. I got two jobs recently (one long-term) from hiremymom.com. You shouldn't pay for the job, but you might pay for membership to access jobs.

are there any mailing companies in your area? I get data entry work from friends of ours that own a mailing service. it's not very often, just their overflow that their regular person cant handle. I use an excel program and all I have to do is put in name, address, and zip. you could ask at the post office if there are any mailing services in your area and go see them and see what they say! good luck!

I haven't found any legitimate data entry jobs from home. I did find a part-time job with 1-800-Flowers. You have to live in certain states. But you MUST be at home (near your computer with a headset on) at certain hours. Didn't work for me since I would have to leave and pick kids up from school. You might want to check it out. Maybe they have something that will suit you. It was just taking orders and incoming calls. Good luck!
