Does anybody know of any online jobs with no start-up costs? I've worked in customer service but, i'd like to work from home.

I posted a very similar topic a few days ago, so it looks like we're both looking for answers there. I'll keep my fingers crossed...for both of us, as well as any others who may be looking at this career path, whether on a permanent or temporary basis.

I'm also looking for the same thing..So I totally understand this problem.
You can sign up for survey sites..
esearch.com
That's a good one it gives you money through paypal and it is totally free to sign up. Signing up for paypal is also free. I'd love to work from home actually..there's just so many skams so be careful.

Most surveys don't pay much, though. and the ones that actually do pay a good amount want you to buy a product, test it, and then fill out a survey for it. Not to mention the surveys that only want your thoughts about something you've tried are really difficult to qualify for. First of all, there are millions of people who can take the survey, and they only need so many people from so many age groups, races, and locations. So if you're not one of the first to get into it, you're probably not going to qualify. Not to mention you actually have to have used the product or service they're wanting opinions about, and usually, you have to have been using it for a certain amount of time. I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a primary source of income. However, if anyone knows of sites where you're more likely to qualify for the surveys, and you don't have to buy something to qualify, I'd love to hear about it.

hello.
Ever thought of trying ptc's?98% of them are scams nowadays,but people who are looking to just work from home ,we all could help each other. by signing up as a ref of each other.
I am currently trying a few of those,once I know that they are not a scam I might post about them. as far as paying gos though,they don't pay much. but something is better then nothing as per me.and its not only for the people of US and such. It won't help you pay your bills or anything like that,but it'll be a little something,if you are doing a few ptc's together,and with a few refs.
Alexander.

If you want to write articles for a small amount of pocket change, there are a few free sites you can sign up for. There is no previous experience required, although you do have to submit a sample article and be approved before you can start making money with them. I tried it for quite awhile and have since slowed down considerably, just because you end up spending hours writing and only see about $20 at the end of the week, give or take. Now, of course, if you're willing to devote an 8-hour day with very few breaks to it, and you're a really quick writer who can work as quickly as possible with as few errors as possible, you might start to see something a little more worthwhile, but like I said, those sites aren't going to pay your bills for you. If you're interested, i recommend checking out one of these three:
http://www.textbroker.com
http://thecontentauthority.com
and,
http://suite101.com
Personally, I had the most success with the Content Authority, partly because in addition to writing original articles, you can also rewrite existing articles, which requires you to be good at paraphrasing, but requires no prior knowledge on any given topic. I made most of my proffit doing rewrites. All of these sites, if I'm not mistaken, only pay via PayPal, but like someone mentioned earlier, PayPal is free to sign up for.

Greetings from Sri Lanka
Honourable sir,
I signed on with http://secrethomedataentry.com/ in July 23rd 2011 and actually enjoyed reviewing websites for grammar and typographical errors. I bought a package of 100 websites to review and before proceeding much
further I requested an early payout in accordance with their terms and conditions. I was then notified that it
would take 6 - 8 weeks to recieve such payout. This was NOT disclosed anywhere in the fine print. I patiently
awaited for such payout and to date (October 2011) I have received NOTHING as compensation involving
fromhomedataentry.com. Dozens of emails faxes and telephone calls have been made - NOTE that you will never reach a
live person and can only leave messages that go unanswered.
It is my desire to continue following the website and filing complaints with any and every agency available. Early
on (when I was receiving a response back the response was poorly written and extremely unprofessional.
I truly trusted this secrethomedataentry via a recommendation made by clixsense.com a reputed ptc site and was anxious to buy more packages yet the unwillingness to settle this matter is the ultimate sign of unprofessional and most likely an illegitimate businesss operation.
For anyone else in the internet world that comes across my complaint please go to their website and see where they have been approved as a
Scam Free Zone - PLEASE click on the link and file your complaint against them. They appear to be in the process of
getting approved by the BBB and I encourage everyone who has gotten ripped off by them to follow their progress and
then immediately contact the BBB with your story of deceit and fraud.
Dear sir this was the 5th Reminder which I submitted to secrethomedataentry with regard to my inquiry of my work payment and I said to them via mail
if you do not intend to respond and wish to evade my query then I am sorry there will be no option of me submitting your matter to a potential organization to reveal your company as a no. 1 subscription scam money exploiter under the shady banner titled secrethomedataentry and for exploiting the public & non payment of work done by me to secrethomedataentry.
The subscribers have paid fee of 24 $ for their premium account for with no potential gains we have analized and
found evidence and facts its just an international hoax hoodwink trading organization under the shady banner
of secrethomedataentry.com and please remember that you dealing with an intellectual e-news media community in Sri
Lanka where we wouldn't leave one stone unturned unless secrethomedataentry respond positively & be obliged to pay our dues with immediate effect I am legally entitled.
We therefore will provide you with one last option of writing back to us along with my payment which is due.
Your response is highly appreciated with immediate effect as early as possible to avoid consequences secrethomedataentry domain might encounter.
We will try the legal method to put a stop to your worldwide fraud scam data entry survey scandal exploits and the vast amount of money which you have pilfered and plundered nationwide & exploiting the public fund.
Secrethomedataentry has pilfered exploited swindled most the subscribers money in the internet and not paying them after completion of the bogus task assigned.
Even though I crited and submitted my comments & issue not a single response came from them.
Thanks in advance your support and your co-operations is highly appreciated.
If there is anything that you wish to inquire kindly let me know.

Haha, Nice one Zulfikcar. I'd not go down that road if I were you, Lamar. I understand the convenience of doing jobs at home via the internet, but that can be a very unreliable process, as the previous poster had explained.
Cheers,

and this is why I won't join any of those sites unless someone I know and trust has confirmed they can be trusted.

## Post 12 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Friday, 02-Dec-2011 5:37:50

I'd like to work from home also, but like the rest of you I'm all too well aware of the hundreds and thousands of scams out there. A close friend of mine has been trying to get me to join something she's apparently part of where if you can get three other people to join you'll automatically earn at least a thousand dollars a month and can supposedly earn more if you can recruit more people. And that definitely reeks of scam. Because it sounds way too easy for one thing. So I've been extremely wary about anything I hear.

## Post 13 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Friday, 02-Dec-2011 9:43:17

a lot of them aren't scams, but have a lot of fine print that you'll pay for dearly, literally, if you don't read.

## Post 14 by CrystalSapphire (Uzuri uongo ndani) on Saturday, 03-Dec-2011 20:04:43

a bunch or scams.

## Post 15 by basket (knowledge is power) on Saturday, 03-Dec-2011 23:16:38

for those who are looking to work from home, how much education do you have, or how much crodentials to you hold. There are plenty, but it would vary on one's education background.

## Post 16 by Juliet (move over school!) on Friday, 16-Dec-2011 21:26:09

I've noticed that I understand what you mean where the scams are concerned. I used to be part of this ptc site called ClicksSence, I think was how it was spelled, and would read the ads for a lot of these work from home jobs they'd post, and one of them that at the time, sounded really cool was a typest job that gave you a trial period where they sent you assignments to do, and paid you $17 I think it was per assignment, and I can't remember what the price was if you chose to join. However, something was telling me to do a google search for it, not that I was planning to pay them a dime, but just was curious, so I did a search for this company, and sure enough, they were scamming people, along with half these ads that were being posted to that web site.

Well generally speaking if something sounds too good to be true it probably is.
