WORK AT HOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE LEGIT
As much as we might try to fight it, money makes the world go round and keeps food in our bellies – if only we didn’t have to report to an office 40 hours a week! Well, whether you’re trying to earn some extra spending cash or in need of a full-time income, the list below highlights a number of legitimate ways to earn money while working from the comfort of your home.
Vending Machine Operator
You’ve seen them absolutely everywhere but did you ever stop to think of how that vending machine ended up where it is? It’s not an accident. In fact, there is really good money in being an independent vending machine owner and operator and because you can set your own schedule, the job is as flexible as it gets.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Manage the placement and overall operations of your vending machine units. This includes coordinating where the machines are placed, machine maintenance, inventory management and accounting.
COMPENSATION: Approximately $70 per hour.

Many companies, large and small, have started outsourcing their customer service to third-party agents as a way to avoid the costs of call center facilities, equipment, phone bills and the many other expenses inherent with customer service. That said, with some brief training, you can act as an on-call customer care representative on behalf of these businesses and field customers’ calls on your personal cell phone, from wherever you chose.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Answer inbound phone calls from customers, evaluate their concerns, answer their questions and provide assistance and/or a solution.
COMPENSATION: Approximately $12-$17 per hour.

Whether it’s a business card, wedding invitation or the family Christmas card, there is an endless demand for graphic designers and as long as you have a laptop, you can stay as busy as you want, from the comfort of your home.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Evaluate your clients’ design needs, provide a quote, execute the desired design in the desired medium, work with client on revisions and provide proofs and/or final product.
COMPENSATION: Between $25-$75 per hour or a flat rate based on a project quote.

If you’re already a stay-at-home mom, what’s the harm in adding another being to your Rug Rat Radar? Taking on another child or two, in addition to your own, is a great way to earn some extra money from home – after all, you’re already doing the work, you might as well get paid for it!
JOB DESCRIPTION: Act as a temporary caretaker/guardian of children while their parents are away; feed them, entertain them and make sure they’re safe until their parents pick them up.

Now that every business has hopped online, they’re now scrambling to fill their websites and blogs with rich content for search engine optimization purposes. Much like the outsourced customer service reps above, businesses are hiring stay-at-home folks to write this content on their behalf and the opportunities are plentiful.

Anyone can write a song or play the guitar; however, the skill and equipment required to record music is an entirely different ability. Although there are some initial equipment costs involved in home recording, once a home studio is established, the client list is never ending – not to mention, you work when you want to work.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Evaluate your clients’ recording needs, provide a quote, oversee recording sessions, engineer the sound, mix multiple tracks, work with client on edits and provide final product.
COMPENSATION: Approximately $30-$50 per hour, $300 per day (10-hour day rate) or a flat rate based on a project quote.

People these days are too busy for their own good so, when they can’t attend to their own obligations, such as a pet, there is money to be made in picking up their slack. In this case, when folks don’t have the time to walk their dog and give it the exercise it needs, many others have started successful dog walking companies to fill the niche – a low impact profession that will keep you out of an office and working on your own terms.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Report to the clients’ house and walk their dog for an agreed upon distance or duration.
COMPENSATION: Approximately $15 per visit/walk.

It’s a very common practice for product-based companies to have sales reps and distributors that host “parties” and events at their home with the intention of selling products to the captive audience. Although this might not be a full income (unless you’re really active), being a sales rep for one of these businesses can certainly pad the pockets and provide an income that is achieved by simply inviting people to your home.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Host product centric parties and events at your home, demo the product for the guests, talk to them about the product, answer their questions and ultimately write orders or carry inventory and vend to them directly.
COMPENSATION: Variable based on specific product; however, most likely a 5-15% commission.
