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

• IntelliCare.com - Call center company that provides clinical and non-clinical telephone services to health plans, healthcare providers, and care managers nationwide

• LiveOps.com - Virtual call center using remote and home-based agents. All applicants are required to undergo a mandatory background check that costs $50. 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

• TeamDoubleClick.com - Be a virtual assistant

• WAHM.com - An online magazine for work-at-home moms

Comment by Sonia Lawrence on April 3, 2009 at 7:11am: Thanks for the info, my questions is I have taken the 215 license for the insurance industry, do you think I would be eligible for the insurance agent? They are also doing credit check, I have being out of work for a long time, do you think they would not hire me because of slow payment on bills.

Thanks

Comment by Tameka Hopper on March 23, 2009 at 5:13pm: I've applied to every company out there to work from home. From Westathome to LiveOps to Arise and Alpine Access. Either there's nothing available, or you have to have good credit. Well, my credit went bad after I had a child and was out from work. What else is there?

Comment by Cynthia A. Kennedy on March 16, 2009 at 12:47pm: Thank you very much for the information. I will check out these companies. Meanwhile, I have applied to LiveOps and is awaiting information.

Comment by Edwin G Smith on March 16, 2009 at 11:22am: I registered with liveops several weeks ago, but have not heard anything from them. Thanks. ED

Comment by Cynthia A. Kennedy on March 9, 2009 at 8:10pm: Hi Cara. Today I received an email from LiveOps. The email instructed me to click on a link to open the 'LiveOps New Agent Packet. When I clicked on the link to open it, a message read 'LiveOps Page Not Found'. Do you know if there is an alternate website I can access to retrieve the 'New Agent Packet?'

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Comment by Tameka Hopper on March 6, 2009 at 3:53am: I recently applied to Arise, Convergys, Liveops, and West at Home. I am waiting for a response from one of them. It is a dream of mine to work from home. I have not been asked for monies as of yet.
