There are a few ways that you can legitimately make money from home. Here are some websites that have been checked out with the Better Business Bureau.

Call Centers

Many companies can save money by having people work from home as customer service reps. These are recommended by many work at home sites and highly regarded by the BBB:

Tutoring Companies

Selling Your Gold or Crafts

You have probably seen the commercials on television but I always wonder how legitimate they are. So here is a list of vendors that are highly-rated by Better Business Bureau:

Empire Gold Buyers and Gold Fellow
Both highly ranked by BBB. Both highly ranked by BBB. They list charts on their websites for what you pay and very clear thorough instructions of how to go about sending in your gold. Important thing: they pay for and insure your shipping. You send them the gold. They value it. Let you know. And you have the option to sell it to them, OR to have your gold returned. Usually gets shipped in the same day.

Your Local Jeweler
If the gold is still part of a piece of jewelry you may get more money from your local jeweler. Plus if you have a good relationship with them you know you are getting a fair price. You can also take your gold to the jeweler FIRST and get their estimate so you know if the online company is offering a good price.

Etsy.com
FOR HAND MADE AND VINTAGE…art, photography, clothing, jewelry, edibles, bath & beauty products, quilts, knick-knacks and toys. The vintage items on the site have only one rule to follow: they must be 20 years or older. The site mimics a craft fair in that each seller has their own storefront where they list their goods for a fee of $0.20.

eBay.com
eBay also works as a site to sell your stuff. You can sell handmade crafts, but you can also sell older goods…books, CD’s, clothing, cameras, you name it, you can sell it. It’s fairly simple to do, and a lot of people have found success.

Telecommuting Jobs
