I was on a chat room board earlier today where a lot of folks were asking how they could earn an income working at home. There are many of us who want to do this for a variety of reasons. Stay at home Moms are the usual suspects, but it might also be that you have a disability that keeps you housebound, you are caring for someone who needs you there, or maybe you just want to quit fighting the traffic. 

Whatever the reason, there are unlimited possibilities today. You can work for someone else fielding phone calls, setting appointments or doing internet research. You can set up your own internet business selling on e-bay or on your own web-site; you can be a ghost writer; a medical transcriptionist; there is no limit to the ideas.

The question most people were asking on the forum was how to figure out which offers and jobs are scams and which are authentic.  Of course you have to do your own research to check up on any offer, but I would suggest that you start with the site www.workingfromhome.com which is the work of Paul and Sarah Edwards. This dynamic couple has produced numerous books for small business owners and self-employed folks, and have a reputation for providing quality information and sound advice. Some time spent studying the resources on their site would be time well spent and you can order their books from my web-site bookstore.
