Is there really such thing as a legitimate work from home opportunity?

I mean they all seem like scams. Ive enquired into a few of them and all they seem to be interested in is you forking out a whopping great big amount of money, and then youre left on your own to fend for yourself! Im not big on avon or nutrimetics due to the fact that i couldnt sell water in the desert, sales just arent my thing, but does anyone know of any companies or something that would be looking for ppl to do office work at home or something? even envelope stuffing or making things from home would suit me. i really want to give up working in an office and come home and work around my family. thanks.

There are real work at home opportunities, but it depends on your skills and experience. I'm a programmer, and I've been working from home for about 3.5 years. My boss let me start working at home when I had my oldest child. I feel so fortunate to be able to do it. There's a link I can share with you:

I think it focuses on the U.S. though.

Are you in Oz?  One thing I looked into was being a family daycarer from home - email me if that sounds good to you??

Can you negotiate with your current employer to work from home, at least some of the time? I returned to work full time when my daughter was 6 months old and was able to negotiate 2 days a week from home. My husband is home full time with our daughter so that helps me get work done on those days. I really love those days at home and find that I actually get a lot of work done.

I do agree there are a lot of scams out there
but i have joined a bussiness that even though there is selling involved it is mostly based on team work
It has a huge support network and you are not left to do it on your own.. I love it!

YES but it involves selling through party plan. I didn,t think it would be my thing but the products are so beautiful that they practically sell themselves. I can give you all the information you would like and it is ok to take your children to the parties as I take my 17 month old with me the presentation dosn,t take very long so the child can be kept busy and it only costs an initial $100 down payment and then the other $175 comes out of the sales you make. The company has a health plan , and holiday rewards also a car if you make it to a diamond director so please if you would like free info let me know.

I am a home based sales rep. I have my own business (ABN) and am contracted to the company I rep for. It is a great set up.

I think that unless you make your own home business, most of them are scams. There are so many advertised, they cant all be legitimate. In fact very few are. If you and your friends and family get together, maybe you can come up with something that you can do from home.  Advertise to type for people for uni assignments, or do bookwork for people.
Just a suggestion.
