2. Home with the Kids - A mom who has successfully worked at home in medical transcription and started her own home Internet business offers advice to stay-at-home moms (and dads) as well as a directory of work at home opportunities, including identifying what she considers legitimate opportunities versus work-at-home scams. You can also use the online forum to talk to others who are working from home or searching for work-from-home opportunities. Work-from-home jobs listed here include accounting, writing / blogging, customer service, data entry, transcription, technical support and more. (www.homewiththekids.com)

6. Mechanical Turk - This site matches up computer / tech companies that need to have tasks completed by humans with people who want to work at home. You are given HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks) that you can complete online for a pre-determined pay rate. The amount of money you earn may be on a per-project basis or a per-piece basis. Hard to explain; go to the site to see if this work is for you. Mechanical Turk is a division of Amazon.com, so we’re guessing it’s legitimate work, if not necessarily high paying. (www.mturk.com)
