Many of the jobs I will be listing are jobs are for beginners, but be sure to check the qualifications on each site to see if you meet the requirements before applying. It's not worth your time to assume you've applied for a sure fire job and wait for the acceptance email/contact only to find that the email states you weren't qualified. Keep it simple and don't take on more than you can actually do! You not only waste your time, but the time of the companies as well.If you choose the companies wisely, you may find that you can balance many different part-time positions/companies and make a better income than if working for only one company alone. However, there are many companies worth putting all your work and time into full-time. Choose the method that suits you and your lifestyle. For example, you don't want to apply for a full-time job as a call center/phone operator if your home is like Grand Central Station or full of barking dogs.
There are many different types of jobs you can do from home on your computer. There are endless possibilities. These are just a few suggestions. Some companies require certification and others do not. Also, some companies may want you to complete a 2 week training they offer to their new employees/contractors. But remember, never give out your SS# and other personal information unless its on a tax form and such. And no legitimate company will ask you to pay for employment, these are scams. The jobs I've listed are legitimate work opportunities and with the right company you can make an honest living.

Career Step
If you have ever wondered about a "real" online job, you may want to check out a Medical Transcription course with Career Step. They offer the best in curriculum and price! This is where I received my education for MT training and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an extensive, yet inexpensive, education online.

They offer many choices in discounts and payment plans. Also, they offer many different courses in the medical field such as : Medical Transcription and Editing, Pharmacy Technician, Medical billing and coding, and now they also offer Medical Administrative Assistant training!I personally went through their MT program and had job offers before I even completed my course! If you have good listening skills, love to type and research, this is the program for you! And when you complete your course you can work as an Independent Contractor from the comfort of your own home just as I do! If you want a real education at a real good price, go to http://referral.careerstep.com/ref12757 and if you mention my referral ID# ref12757 you will receive an additional $50 off tuition price!

Website changes/Forum
After having several issues with the forum, I decided to take it off my site until I can find a different type of forum supporter. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I assure you the forum page will be back on in a few weeks and will be more user friendly! Thanks for your patience and understanding!
ChaCha.com
Today I signed up to become a ChaCha Expeditor. I figured that since I use their services often, I should become one! They provide the training through step-by-step instruction videos and constant learning materials for use throughout your training and even for referral after the hire. This is a contracting job. They will not hold out taxes, so like many online jobs, be sure to fill out your correct tax forms!So far, I am really impressed with the training. While I have not yet began to work, I am already excited just learning the materials and how it all works. I never knew there was so much to doing this! No wonder ChaCha is the number one resource for all my friends and family!
To become a guide, you have to start as an Expeditor. I had originally applied to become a "Specialist" because of my extensive and variable education background, but everyone has to start somewhere and it seems like a fun job so far.I will keep everyone posted as to how it's going for me. If you have worked with ChaCha, please feel free to express your experiences here. I would love to hear from you! Hmmm...I wonder how many people have worked for ChaCha since it's beginning? Perhaps I should "ChaCha" it! :)

New store!
After giving it much thought, I've added a new store with Amazon.com on the last page of my site! There you will find many resources for transcription, secretarial, business, and many other training books/materials along with some other necessities you may be searching for. Feel free to browse around. Hope you enjoy it!
Resources
There are some jobs out there that require you take a
certified course, while other require a full degree or
background in a certain field. However, with the right
resources, you can gain the knowledge necessary to land
that dream job for little cost. I have included Amazon.com here on my site for your convenience and to save you money! You can find just about any book/materials/equipment needed to train yourself for a work-at-home position.
GetPaidToTry
Okay, usually I would turn away from a site like this one,
but after looking closer (actually at the bottom of the page) I
found that the site had much more to offer.
www.getpaidtotry.com has become one of my new
favorites. It's one of those sites can can be a little confusing
at first, and you have to do your investigating, but overall
it's actually quite an exceptional site. They will send you
emails with offers matching your interests at time of
signing. However, if you want more, you can click on the
email, go to the bottom of the page, and there will be more
interests to choose from. Took me a while to figure this one
out, but by George, I think I got it! :) I will let you know
how this works out as I will be testing it out over the next
month. However, if you feel bold, or are already a seasoned
survey taker, please feel free to check it out for yourself or
even let me know your experience if you have used it.
InboxDollars
This is one of my favorite Paid-to-read sites. I have been a member for years now and still enjoy it the most. It's free to join and will even give you $5 just for signing up! You can choose from a multitude of money making opportunities with InboxDollars.I usually stick with the surveys and paid emails, but recently they've added a new feature where you view a video for offers and cash and I'm really liking it! They also have cash offers, paid tasks,games,and coupons. The payout threshold is $30 and at first you will have to wait 1 1/2 months for your first check, but after that you will become a Gold Member and you will be able to receive your checks every week. You still have to reach the minimum payout of $30, but you will earn more once you are a Gold Member because they pay all Gold Members more per referral and a percentage of new unreferred members when they sign up. Sounds good huh? Well it is! Check it out for yourself! http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=ref6029112
Taking advantage of the Internet
With all of the social networking, emailing, chatting, and searching, we tend to forget what a learning tool the Internet actually can be. Did you know that there are literally millions of online learning programs? And at least a few thousand of those are entirely free....that's right I said FREE! Most of us know that there are many colleges online nowadays, but few know to look for the discounted or free diploma programs. Even your local colleges may offer free classes online or at least advertise online for free classes in your area. And if you are over 55 (limit in my area) some colleges will even give you a class for credits. You can work your way to that degree you always wanted but in your own time and pace with little or no out of pocket expense! Got ya thinking yet? The possibilities are endless! Go ahead, check out "free college courses""", "'""free online programs", etc on your search engine today. You could be learning a new trade while sitting at your computer each day! I'll post some of these links for you on my links page as I run across them. Let me know if you find a different one! Happy learning!

It's not worth your time to assume you've applied for a sure fire job and wait for the acceptance email/contact only to find that the email states you weren't qualified.

For example, you don't want to apply for a full-time job as a call center/phone operator if your home is like Grand Central Station or full of barking dogs.
Transcription Jobs:
Though most of these links are general transcription jobs, some require certification and/or medical, legal background. Some require experience, and some simply require typing skills and terminology knowledge. Also, be certain to look closely that they aren't requiring a fee. While some may ask you to pay for your own background check (usually legal jobs), most that ask for money are scams. Just use caution! If you are looking to become certified in medical transcription, I highly suggest Career Step. I personally took their MT course and enjoyed every lesson. They keep it simple and relevant to what you will be doing once employed. They also offer courses for Pharmacy Tech, Transcription Editor, Medical Billing and Coding.

Tips for getting started with surveys
First things first, do not sign up for a survey company that asks for your SS# or your money! These are scams! Sites such as mine will give you links for free and I have tried them out! When you find a free listing site, such as mine, run with it! Also, be certain to read the "How to Earn" on each site. Most sites will offer different ways to earn. Don't let it overwhelm you. Some sites such as InboxDollars and SendEarnings make it simple to choose which options you would like to opt into, but if you simply want to make some change every week, you can stick to just reading the emails they send to your Inbox. It's not rocket science to figure out these sites. They are simple, easy, and pay for what you do. And if you don't qualify for a survey, you still get paid! This is the easiest and safest way to get started in PTRE's and surveys! You won't end up with a ton of spam mail either! :)
