How can you find genuine work from home positions?

I am desperate to find some genuine work that I can do from home as I am housebound. I really do not want to continue to claim benefits and would love to get some independence. The problem is though where do you start and how do you know if a position is genuine. I am based in the UK. If anyone can help me then I will be very grateful. Thank you. Donna

How can you find genuine work from home positions?
The only genuine work is what you get from local companies directly through personal contact. You need to be thinking and finding out about 'teleworking' which is reputable and covers all the different ways people work legitimately from home. This is the website of the Telework Association, it is not a link to a scam like most of the other answers you have been given, I have a friend who has taught on some of their training courses:


http://www.tca.org.uk/





If you enjoy talking on the telephone, market research and marketing companies sometimes employ people to do telephone interview work from home, and they often advertise on the site above. If you think you might like to do something like this you can also contact market research companies directly yourself to see if they have anything going that you could do from home. There's a list of companies here:

This is a general information site which comes via a link from the Citizens' Advice Bureau, which looks quite helpful and warns you about all the scams, it doesn't have jobs but there is lots of other information:

Good luck.
Reply:This can actually be a good place to start. You will hopefully get some genuine answers from real people who are actually doing well in this. You can look into those, see if it is for you and then begin doing your research.Research is key. You can find out anything you need to know about a business on the internet. Find something you will enjoy doing and you think you can do. I think a lot of people get into businesses that are actually legit but that particular person wasn't able to make it work or was to lazy so they call it a scam. There are a lot of good opportunities but you are going to have to be willing to put in the effort to make it work. So figure out what you will like and go from there. Research fully before committing to anything. I have experience in this and would be happy to help. Email me anytime! Good Luck! :)

Reply:Just do what most people are doing and find something to sell online. Almost anyone who actually makes enough money online to live off (including me) does it by selling something or offering some kind of service, unless they're working for a company. I run a few online stores just by using drop shipping and store templates. Some drop shippers make your store for you to so you don't have to deal with web design and all that.





Making money online isn't rocket science it's just a lot of work. I work around 5-7 hours a day just like anybody else with a few stores selling jewelry and clothes and make around $4k/month, but it's hard to make more than that because there's not enough hours in the day. I take weekends off though and it feels good when I wake up in the morning but its still stressful sometimes. Look at ebay or look at http://yourownonlinestore.notlong.com its the site that got me started.

Reply:I recently bought a list of more than 300 "Work from Home" oppurtunities for $25. I am just beginning to work through it now but I think it might be worth a try. There are well-known companies like Carlton Cards etc. There are also different kinds of jobs and it looks like there is something for just about everyone. It doesn't look like that typical "Get rich instantly" scams! It would definitely require real work for real companies. Once you buy this list you are also entitled to sell the lists.
