Legitimate Work-at-Home Opportunities

Do you dream of being able to work from home, but you're afraid you may get caught up in one of the millions of scams out there? Fear not; there are actually quite a lot of reputable companies out there with a strong base of stay-at-home workers. Some of these companies will hire you as an employees, and some will hire out your services as an independent contractor. (I have created another article about independent contractors for anyone who may be unfamiliar with the status.)

Whether you're a stay-at-home mom who wants to spend more time with her kids, looking for a part-time job to supplement your income, or you're like me--a bit of a hermit and a loner.....there is a whole world of work at home opportunities to suit just about any situation. I have compiled a list of several companies to contact if you're serious about working from home. Again, have no fear, all of the companies on this list are completely legitimate, I have worked for a few of these companies myself, and I am personally acquainted with people who work for the others. They are not ranked in any special order other than alphabetical.

1-800-FLOWERS

Most people probably already know and use 1-800-Flowers. But, to those of you who may not be familiar with the company: 1-800-Flowers is a leading floral based gift retailer offering 24 hour order services via telephone utilizing its namesake or via the World Wide Web in the same manner. The company retains several physical call centers but during its peak seasons (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, etc) it also utilizes the assistance of at home workers to act as customer service/order takers. 1-800-Flowers chooses to hire its home-based workforce as employees.
