There are many work from home jobs that you can do to earn either a part time income or a full time income.
The legit work from home jobs shouldn't require any payment to get started and if they do then it's usually a scam or is not a good way of actually earning money from those work from home jobs.
Here's a few good ways of working from home and earning an income from your computer.
Freelance Work.
Freelance work is a good work from home job that can either earn you a part time income or could earn you a full time income depending on the jobs you do as a freelancer and how much you get paid to freelance.
I earn a part time income doing freelance work on Freelancer in my spare time but I could earn a full time income if I quit my current job and went full time.
I earn an extra $200.00 per month working on freelance projects and it's a legit way to earn money working from home using my laptop and sitting on my couch.
Data Entry Work From Home Jobs.
If you have experience in medical coding and billing you could make a good full time income working from your computer at home.
To get hired in a position of data entry at home you need to have a degree or other experience in medical coding and billing since medical coding and billing is the typical data entry stuff you'll be doing on a day to day basis but the medical coding and billing can pay really good.
Work From Home Taking Online Surveys.
Another way of earning some extra cash working from home is to go onto online survey websites such as inboxdollars and take surveys online and you can eventually earn some extra income doing so.
Although don't expect to make a lot of income taking surveys but you can make legit money taking surveys as I do sometimes.
Work from Home Blogging for income.
Another legit work from home job is to setup a blog in a niche you know a lot about and can write lots of stellar content for.
Blogging can earn you a part time income in the beginning and then years down the road those same blog posts can continue to make you some great passive income without having to do much.
Although you should always constantly update your blog at least twice per week with new quality stellar content.
You should write on topics that get a lot of google and other searches per month to get a lot of quality traffic.
You can then monetize that content and your blog using ads such as Adsense, Media.net or even sell direct advertising space and/or promote affiliate products and services.
Some people earn $1,000.00 per month blogging and others earn $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 or even more by blogging.
But blogging is a slow way to make money so don't expect overnight results. You could blog in your spare time while still working your full time job and then over the years once your blog starts getting lots of website traffic and makes enough income you could quit your 9 to 5 job and focus full time on your blog.
Start an Ebay Store.
An ebay store can be a great work from home job especially if you don't have much money to get started.
You can setup an ebay store front and start drop shipping other peoples products.
You list the products for sale, then pay the drop shipper there money and then keep your profit and the drop shipper ships the product directly to the customer and you don't have to touch any product or ship anything.
Start Selling T-Shirts Online.
Designing and selling T-Shirts online is another good work from job that just about anyone can do so long as they have a computer and a little money to get started.
You can design T-Shirts online and then sell them for a profit and then you have someone else print the designs on the T-shirts and then they ship the T-Shirts to the customer on your behalf.
You pay the company for the printing and shipping of the T-Shirt, then they print the T-Shirts and Ship them to the customer and you keep your profit.
