By Ann G. Brown 

Unfortunately, unless we were born wealthy working is a part of life. there is absolutely no avoiding it. But is it possible to do something that you enjoy while working at home? Who wouldn't love to avoid early morning traffic, a demanding boss, working on a predetermined scheduled for limited pay? You can skip all these hassles and work from home.
Now you might be thinking, "OK, I've looked all over the Internet and all I find are scams, there are no real jobs anywhere." Well that's where you'd be wrong. Yes the Internet is full of unscrupulous people looking for way to take your money, but did you know that there are legitimate work at home opportunities as well?
Think about the last time you stayed up late at night watching television. Did you happen to notice the infomercials that were on? Who do you think handles those calls? Work at home moms just like you! And they don't only work at night, there are home based call center operations that operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The best thing about these jobs is that you can create your own schedule and the pay is usually a base hourly rate plus incentives for up selling. You wont get rich, but you can earn a decent income. Besides think of all the money you'd save in gas, take out lunch and dry cleaning.
If you can type, and know your way around a computer you can find a legitimate work at home job as a customer service representative or infomercial order taker. Advance computer users can work as help desk technicians and administrative assistance. There really are legitimate opportunities to be found if you know where to look.
Job listing databases like Yahoo Jobs, Monster and Simply Hired all post work at home positions with major companies like Dell, Apple and Blue Cross Blue Shied from time to time. The key is know how to search. Not all job postings use the phrase " work at home" or "work from home". Two other phrases often used by employers are "telecommute" and "remote". Next time you are searching for a work at home job, add these search phrases to your arsenal.
Additionally, there are companies who hire thousands of work at home employees on a regular basis. Below are my top 7 recommendations.
Live Ops
Alpine Access
Baby to Bee
Cha Cha
Grindstone
West
VIP Desk
Be sure to do your due diligence (research) before accepting a job offer with any company. As a rule. legitimate companies wont ask for a fee for training or materials, but may charge for background checks.
