Can anyone suggest a work-from-home, online job that isn't a scam?

I’ve done a few Google searches, but still can’t tell what is legitimate and what’s not. Just looking for something simple, and preferably not customer service. Even affiliate marketing would be fine. Anything I can do for just a couple hours a day. If I have to pay something to get started, that’s fine too, as long as it’s minimal.

Why not learn how to do medical transcription? (Note: I am not recommending this particular company, as there are many, but they did have a flashy website). You can make a decent amount of money if you are literate (which you are) and can type fast (probably decent enough since you fluther a lot). Good luck.

Thanks shilolo – I took the typing test: 84 wpm. That’s a start, I guess.

All I can say is that I depend on transcriptionists for sure, and there will always be a demand for that service (although some doctors I know have shifted to voice recognition software). The hospital I work at now apparently has a contract with some service in Utah, but my understanding is that you can work when you want for as long as you want, which isn’t far off from what you described.

It doesn’t matter what you hear, you will never make money on the Internet overnight.There are many companies out there that offer good techniques and strategies but with little support or coaching.

An acquaintance of mine works from home as an online help person for a national drug store chain.
