Make Money
If you want to make money from home with your computer, you can. No, everything is not a scam--although there are tons of scams out there--be careful. I have decided to write a huge old blog and explain where I work from home online and make money from home legibly. None of these places are scams. I have been paid real money from each of them and I am continuing to do so. Here are my secrets to make money from home. This blog will be updated as I join and hear about new sites.

ChaCha ChaCha is a company like KGB which answers questions received by texters across the Nation. You work from home after logging into an online system that helps you answer questions these texters send in. You don't make too much but can earn minimum wage fairly easy. It might be a good job for a second income.
Another new site I just joined! :) Get prizes or cash for doing all kinds of different things! It's worth a look so click click click!
Cloud Crowd on Facebook This is one place that pays you to do all kinds of cool things, such as review websites or check a paragraph for errors, rewriting something, etc. The cool thing is that you can do this through facebook! They haven't had any work lately, but are going to be getting some very soon! Click above to join so that you are one of the first to know when they have work available.
Demand Studios
This company hires writers who have excellent English and grammar skills to write 250 to 500 word articles for web content. You have to supply a resume with credit showing your experience in the writing field. You also have to supply them with a writing sample. They pay $7.50 per short article and $15.00 per big article. I average $20.00 per hour. I am also a title proofer. I check the quality of title articles that go through the system for correct grammar, punctuation, and I make sure the titles make sense. If not I reject them, or send them to the title editors to be edited. This position can be obtained after being a writer for awhile. They also hire copy editors if you have 5+ years experience in the copy editing field. They give you a scorecard and if your articles are not up to par, you will be fired.
Associated Content
Very similar to eHow but they pay you up front + revenue. eHow only paid revenue. However, I think the revenue is lower than with eHow but if you enjoy up front money as well then this place is it. Article writing of course. :) They only pay around $2.00 to $4.00 per 500 word article, but you get hired right away and you earn revenue on each article you write. Once again, if you know what search engine optimization is, you can direct more traffic to your articles which means more money.
Textbroker
Another article writing job. They don't pay as good as Demand Studios, but they pay decent most of the time. You earn about 2.50 for a 250 word article, up to about 5.00 I think it is. I haven't written for them since I got hired at DS, but I used to occasionally. They can pay you through paypal too. Getting hired is much easier than with DS and there isn't a copy editor checking your work.
LeapForce
LF hires people to view URLS and categorize them, check them for spam, etc. Occasionally, you will have to view adult websites. You need to have a wide knowledge of the internet, search engine optimization, and spam--how to spot spam on a website. They pay $13.50 per hour. They do quality checks and they do fire people for not doing their work correctly. I used to work for them but got laid off back in 2009 due to business running slow. I have re-applied in June of 2011. Still waiting to hear something.
I do this for a little extra income. It's easy!! You get $5.00 for signing up as a bonus. You then answer surveys or complete offers. I only complete the free offers, no credit cards are required. You get paid between some change and a few bucks per offer. Here's my secret: Once you earn $25.00 you can cash out. You make $3.00 per person that you refer. You can post ads on Craigslist to refer people, or on forums. I refer people until I have referred $25.00 worth of people and then I complete an offer(s) that pays at least $15.00. This is usually an offer that will cost you money, but it is always less than the reward. So for example, I refer 10 people--my account has $30.00 in it. In order to cash out, you must complete at least $15.00 in offers, not referrals. I then go and complete the 15 in referrals, most offers are free and then one big one. I will end up spending about $10.00 and gaining around $50.00. They pay in cash or PayPal.
Mechanical Turk
Although they don't pay much, they do pay. If you're desperate you can make a few extra bucks here. This place is ran through Amazon.com. The clients hire people (like you) to work from home with your computer by doing very small and easy tasks that a computer cannot do. Some jobs range from looking up people's phone numbers to spotting differences in pictures. It's that easy. Only problem, the pay is low. I completed 60 tasks and I only have $3.50 in my account...the minimum for a payout is 5 bucks...Lol. I just don't have time for this one, but if I didn't have a good paying job and was desperate I would do more work here. It's very easy to get hired. You simply sign up and get started.
LiveWork
This place looks awesome. I just did a couple of tests and applied with them just to check them out. It's kind of like KGB meets Mechanical Turk. Many tasks are answering questions but you get paid 28 cents per answer, instead of only 10 cents which is what KGB pays. I used to work for KGB, it sucks and I wouldn't recommend it if you want to earn more than minimum wage. I make about 5 bucks an hour and I was working at top speed. Anyways, for providing longer answers to questions you can earn .64 per answer. They also occasionally have special studies wanting people of certain age groups to review websites and write a short paragraph about the site. Those jobs pay 9.00 per task, which you can do 2 or 3 per hour. Those positions are rare though, but I have seen them!
Survey Head
Take a few boring surveys, make a few extra bucks! Get 5.00 for joining.
This place sends you emails after emails. You earn a few cents for each one you open. You can also earn money by referring people!!! Which is where I take action, just like with Fusion Cash mentioned above. This place is legit, just like everything else on this post on how to make money from home with your computer. I recommend creating a new email account or using a junk one you don't care about to sign up for this site.
You Data
Simple! Sign up, go there once a week...spend a couple minutes clicking on their ads and earn a few bucks. Doesn't pay much but when you are broke and might need toilet paper, you can get some and it only takes a few minutes a week! Lol. Their advertisers are actually really neat websites that you would probably enjoy seeing anyways.
MedQuist
This site pays about $10.00 per hour doing medical transcriptions from home. The tests are hard and I heard you have to get at least a 98% to get hired. You can use Google to find answers though, but it's still a hard test. If you know anything at all about the medical field, or you just want to try your luck--visit the website and click on careers.
Essay Writers
If you are even more advanced than I am at writing, check this place out. You write essays for high school and college students but the ones I've tried to do so far have been confusing and I didn't finish. I haven't been back, even though I got hired which was a process in itself. I may check back time to time. You can get like $50.00+ for writing an essay though.
Dyalogues
Not sure if they are hiring. They don't hire much. You debate with someone about a topic once or twice per month and they pay you $10.00 each time you do. It's fairly new and still in beta. I debated with someone about Octomom which was fun for me anyways and got $10.00 so that was cool.
Rat Race Rebellion
An awesome site with great links to call center jobs and other types of work that you can do from home with your computer. Be aware, sometimes a few scammers links get through the cracks on this site, but most things are legit.
