So work at home jobs, where can I find a REAL work at home job and not a survey job?

For many people, working from home is the most ideal situation. They may be stay at home parents hoping to earn a bit of extra money to support their household or they may be disabled and unable to leave their home to seek employment.

With the rising popularity of the internet, there are more and more virtual and work at home jobs available but there are also many scams that should be avoided. To find a job that will allow you to work soley from your home, you should check the following websites (Some survey-taking opportunities are posted at these sites, but most listings are not surveys).:

• http://www.guru.com (Guru.com lists freelance jobs that are available. Employers post what they need and prospective employees bid on the job based on where their experience lies)

• http://www.workplacelikehome.com/(Workplacelikehome.com is a forum for people who are trying to work or are currently working from home. Since it is a public forum, there is first-hand information about different work at home opportunities that people have tried -- good or bad)
• http://www.ratracerebellion.com (Ratracerebellion.com searches for work at home opportunities and puts them through a screening process to try to eliminate scams. They were also mentioned on the Today show recently.)

• http://www.problogger.net (If you like to write, Problogger.net offers a list of paid blogging opportunities.)

In addition to virtual jobs such as those listed on the websites above, many people also sell products from their homes through services like Avon, Mary Kay and Pampered Chef.
