Does work from home really exist...legitimately?
I have been searching for some time but I have had no luck, actually I have only found fraudulent businesses/scam artists wanting money before anything. Can anyone help me...maybe you have had some success, please refer sites that have worked, I live in South Africa if it makes any difference. Thanks

yes

It exists if you create it.
3 :
Well, yes, but it depends on the profession. You can do medical transcription from home, for example, or even web design if you know enough.
4 :
I think YOU are trying to get people to "do business" with you and that YOU are a scammer....
5 :
Yes, but you have to be skilled to do it. IT work you can do from home. Project management you can do from home. Sales you can do from home. Just about everything you can do that does not require your physical presence can be done from home.
6 :
It's doubtful that you'll get what you want. There's always some catch.
7 :
Why do you want to work from home? There are more opportunities by working face to face with others, networking etc.
8 :
Yes, some people do work legitimate professional jobs from home, but they are not easy to come by. Any advertised job that says "work from home" is usually a scam or something really lousy. Most people who work from home and make income are entrepreneurs who run their own business, or people in highly sought after positions in companies where they have basically earned the privilege of "telecommuting."

I don't think so, unless you start a scam yourself! These jobs remind me of that guy that put an ad in the newspaper ("send me a dollar and I will tell you how to make a hundred") (reply) "Do what I did"! Its hard to know what is real advertisment anymore with all the afflite crap going around! Becarful because some people will try to get you to sign up under their name with thier (coded weblinks) so they can earn money by you signing up or buying a product though their advertisement! Its funny how you see a personal testimonial but it has a click here sign (no weblnk) that takes you straight to the product and if yo look in the web bar at the top you will see a user code at the end of it! even some online high school dimplomia courses are fake scams!

Be careful here. Check any outfit with the Better Business Bureau at "www.bbb.org" . You can check at the bbb by entering the business's url. While searching, I checked on one website and it had 16 complaints and a rating of F at the bbb. If the bbb has no info about a website, do not deal with it. I have read that 97% of work-at-home business offers are frauds. Your best chance is to start your own business. Here is a article about Home Businesses I bookmarked back in November. Maybe it will help you think up your own ideas. http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Extra/call-them-need-based-businesses.aspx

I know how you feel. I've been searching for a home business as well. A good friend introduced me to a business and I love this business. Check out my website: www.ardysslife.com/cynthiamur

If you want a real job you will have to actually go to the place of employment and work there. Very few real companies are going to hire a stranger to do work for them with no training or supervision.,. Most people who work from home either work for themselves, or have worked for a company for many years, and then had a personal situation arise that caused them to need to work from home. If they were trusted long-term employees, and if their jobs could be done remotely, the companies made accommodations.

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as "work at home" because they would hear from too many unqualified people.
