Who works from home?

Who here works from home? What do you do and do you enjoy what you do? I work from home doing data entry, freelance and call center work. I love working from home and being able to decide when I want to work.

I try to work from home but I'm failing miserably. I have done some non-adult texting and have a position with an adult company but I can't do it cause it just feels too much like cheating to me. I'm getting ready to get my headset/corded phone (again) so I can apply to Alpine Access since it seems to me that West isn't going to call me back again (who knows maybe tomorrow). I think that I got hired to do some work for a homeschool online magazine but after the initial interview I never heard back from them so I'm not sure where that is going, same with a transcription position I applied for last week. I have found tons of scams that want me to come and work for them right now, after I send in my one time only fee of $15.99 for training materials

.

I homeschool three of my four children and I'm getting ready to send one of them to a magnet school because I'm totally fried on fighting with him for every ounce of work he gives me which isn't much.

What company do you do data entry for? I applied ages ago to Keys for Cash but haven't heard anything back from them.

I work from home. I run about 5 small businesses/websites doing various types of things: retail, wholesale sales, run 3 forums, affiliate programs, etc.
I HAVE to work at home since I too homeschool, and I'm divorced.

I'd like to work from home, and am especially interested in data entry but really would not know how to find a job like that.

I hold down a full time job, but do some freelance writing on the side from home. My goal is to eventually have a steady enough income stream from the writing that I can migrate into a work at home situation. In the meantime, I have found the freelance work is the ideal part time job for me - I set my own hours, work on the projects of my choosing, and have a lot of fun researching topics for assignments. often the stress of the day job melts away when I can come home and write.

Have you tried LiveOps? I work for them. They are like Wst. LiveOps Reinventing Teleservices - The Leader in Distributed Contact Centers. (they pay more also).

Here is a transcription company you can try that doesn't require exp and no fees!

We are looking for good typists who can work from home, to produce written transcripts of recordings of journalism interviews, conference calls, meetings, speeches, etc. They involve a variety of business-related topics and other topics.
Transcription

Also, if you are interested in any forum posting jobs...I have a bunch of leads. Just send an email to myforumpostings@yahoo.com and I will send you links. I have a lot or I would post them here.

I got my application with Keys for Cash and I have one with W*st too. I backed out of working for them the first time around cause the line they wanted me to train for a very agressive approach and I hate that. Then when they called me back it was right around the time that a tree fell on our house and we were in the middle of moving so I lost out on that. I have looked into LiveOps and I think all I need is one or two things to have the minimum requirements. Thank you for the other sites. I have not heard of them before.

I work from home. I do freelance video producing and I just started selling Pampered Chef. The transcription thing looked interesting to me because that is a big part of producing videos... transcribing interviews.

I do some writing--mostly financial and health. Freelance writing is so hit-and-miss, though; I'd like to find regular work. I've applied to Key For Cash twice (the second using a referral name). It's been a few months and no word from them.

It is West and when I asked if I could train for something else they flat out told me NO. Wouldn't even consider it, said I had to train with the program they picked out for me DR I believe. I couldn't do it, how am I suppose to do something when I would become on of the type of people I despise the most. Forcefull upselling is just not for me and that is what they were training me for.

I currently do not work from home even though I have a few applications out there such as Key for Cash.I was working an adult text line due to having small kids in the house phone jobs just don't cut it.There isn't many WAH jobs without being phone related unless you want to do transcription which I am currently checking out.
