The Home Business Network

I found this to be very helpful.

I found this info on Clark Howards website (Save more, spend less and avoid rip-offs). I found it to be very helpful and I hope you do to.

Would you like to work from home?

Clark gets tons of calls from people who would like to do database or customer service work out of their homes. The problem is that there are many ripoff work-from-home outfits that claim they will find you work for an upfront fee. They are just trying to make a quick buck off you. Below are some sites Clark has checked out and determined to be legitimate. Of course, you should check them out thoroughly yourself before getting involved. Good luck!

• AlpineAccess.com - Virtual call center provider using home-based customer service agents

• Arise.com - Answer calls, e-mail and chat requests for global companies at home. Some users have reported a $13 background check fee, a $99 assessment test fee and other charges.

• ConvergysWorkatHome.com - Be an independent contractor home agent providing customer care, human resources and billing services

• eLance.com - Links freelancers with employers in IT, graphic design, writing, engineering, translation, marketing, accounting and administrative and legal services

For an optional fee of $175, a more extensive background check allows you to work with specific Fortune 200 companies that have partnered with LiveOps.com.

• MSVAS.com - This company has developed virtual assistant training programs for U.S. military spouses and U.S. Department of State Foreign Service spouses

Comment by LaToya C. Cherry on February 27, 2009 at 9:11am: Hi Cara. I just completed the online app for LiveOps. This is not my first work at home business but the first time with LiveOps. Can you tell me more about what you do with them and how you like it? Thanks.

Comment by Cara on February 23, 2009 at 10:15pm: My sister-in-law worked for liveops and loved it. So like her I joined liveops. Everyones needs are diffrent so you need to think about a few things. You may need to pay out some money to get started. Do you have another job? Do you have a room set up to work in? Do you have a second phone line set up in your home? What kind of work can you do? You will need to check into some of these work at home sites to see which one is best for your needs. I am only working for liveops right now. I am just getting started with them so I am still new. if you have any questions about them I will do my best to answer them for you.

Comment by Rachel R. on February 15, 2009 at 2:59pm: Beware of Arise. I've been with them for a while and I'm noticing a very disturbing trend. I think they are starting to scam people. I've seen them scam new people that I have referred. I have since stopped referring my friends to Arise.

Comment by Rachel R. on February 15, 2009 at 2:34pm: Thanks so much for sharing.

Comment by Kimberly on February 8, 2009 at 11:28am: Thanks for the info. I am just starting out. I am currently a CSR and travel 80 miles per day back and forth to work, so finding a legitimate work at home opportunity is extremely important to me. Wish me luck!
