I just had a baby and I really don't want to return to work. I have seen so many work from home scams. I wanted to know does any one have any legit work from home suggestions? I was thinking about taking a medical coding & billing class online and work from home. Does any one have any suggestions on that and how much can I make?

In reference to Lonely+2

I recently had a new baby also. I'm also considering the same class online and working at home. I, too, am seeking suggestions. However, it seems that every time I try to apply 4 a job at home, there always seem to require some sort of $$. Of which I have NONE. That is why I'm trying to WORK at HOME, so that I can make some honest moolah. I do feel however, that the online class is a great idea. It will at least give you a little time to do you. So try it. I will. hey, maybe we'll be in the same class. Which school have you thought about registering with?

Be careful with those online jobs at home that require you to do pay upfront. Most of them are scams.

I heard Pizza Pizza, or some major pizza operations, hire at home people to take orders online. Might want to google that, and I doubt very much they charge you.

There are also online jobs you can do from home in medical billing for doctors...check locally first with local doctors office first to see if they know where to go.

Depends on if its a business or a job. A job you should NEVER have to pay to start -- just like you wouldn't pay to work at your local supermarket or MickeyD's. A business you should EXPECT some upfront costs, just like setting up a store or restaurant.

Here is where to do some research:

And of course the Better Business Bureau is always a good place to check out.

No matter what you try, ask for credentials, ask for stats, basically just ask tons of questions! If you're not comfortable, then don't do it, because you WON'T succeed, because you won't be committed.

Hi, I am a single mom. I found a legit home based business. Yes, I did have to give an inexpensive upfront investment to get started. However,it was truly worth the investment. I help people recieve affordable healthcare for their entire family.
