Would you be interested in trying a remote or telecommuting work opportunity? Some people enjoy working from their home office; you may too! Finding legitimate work at home jobs can be quite challenging online since there are a lot of scams.
Unfortunately there are a lot of companies that look and seem legit...but are actually predatory scams I have even fallen for more than I would like to admit. It took me years to educate myself on red flags and stop falling for those sketchy pyramid schemes. You can learn more about how to avoid work at home scams from Feisty Talks, Not The Good Girl or CC Suarez. They are education and hilarious at times.
You may want to invest in a noise-cancelling headset if you do any type of phone work. Some jobs I have seen in the customer service fields often require it.

A common way people in my area earn extra cash is doing instacart. It is not a remote job but it is usually flexible for those who are stay at home parents or already work a full-time job. I have not tried it but I have ordered from them as a customer and loved the service. Working for them means you can earn tips as well.

I wanted to share some companies I have seen usually hiring remote workers. This list changes and updates and this blog and it's contributors are not responsible for if you are hired or can apply at this time. Not every opportunity is a good fit for everyone and do not expect to earn millions of dollars. These are more flexible and part-time jobs to help perhaps with your savings, car gas or paying smaller bills.
Some people do earn a lot more money than just grocery money but that is few and far between. It is hard for people to maintain discipline working from home from what I have noticed. A lot of people do prefer working at an actual office and I can totally see why.
There are many other options to working from home than joining those scammy home party plan businesses also. A family member of mine works very part-time outside her home as a substitute teacher. It is not home based but it still is flexible since she can do the jobs when she has the time.
....I would fall for those types of companies for many years. I would get recruited to buy a kit then host parties or ask people to buy my overpriced jewelry, shakes and cosmetics. Nothing against people who do those; it just was not profitable for me; and I would rather not recruit others or sell for a company I will never really own. It was cheaper for me to just buy items wholesale or start my own boutique in the long run.
In no way am I saying people who work for multi-level marketing companies are bad people or scammers. I genuinely was trained by those who got me into the business that I was helping others by promoting these "home-based businesses." In all actuality we were just independent contractors selling for wealthy CEO's who would not care about us either way or the other.
