Be careful about those types of ads in newspapers and magazines.  They will often ask YOU for money, just to get "started"....products to buy, administration fees, start up packages etc and sometimes you receive nothing in return.

If you have a "real" skill, there are many jobs you can do from home, mainly of the self-employed or freelancer flavor.

I don't think so otherwise, I'd have a lot of friends working from home-myself included.........

Yes, but are often poorly paid, or on a commission basis, unless you already work and are fortunate enough to strike up an agreement with your current employer, though it can open a can of worms with OH&s issues i.e trips,falls, designated working are in your home must be established, where you may or may not be covered  for workers comp should there be a mishap

Most are scams .

Sure  Hair stylist , barbers,  massage therapy accountants bookeepers babysitters receptionist, woodworkers mechanics  anybody with get up and go can find work at home or self employment.

Sure if you like baby sitting kids..

I am an artist and I work from home... I have two studios at the moment.... One in the house and one outside.  It is a real job.

And it's all yours...no one else calling the shots!

Most folk don’t do home jobs if they are employed in a job that pays. If you have a car would you walk a mile to a store and back for milk.? The fact is there are many jobs that can be done at home or on your own that can pay just as well as one of those comfortable 9-5 jobs that sucks up your time for a low wage. I would not quit my day job to work at home unless you know you will do better there. I have worked at home producing jewelry, greeting cards, magnetic refrigerator magnets, several speciality items like angora plucking knives and lots of odd craft tools and jigs . This required the assistance of 45 other home workers that were producing parts and assemblages for distribution and sale and point of sales contracts with 120+ retail  outlets. I think we could have done well if we had finacel backing to keep the children happy. They were all adults but and no one was cheated but keeping it going without sufficient financing doomed the situation. Then I found the MBA I hired was on crack as the ship went down. I lost $12k in the process. It’s risky and the people you work with need more than background checks. I’m not qualified. But I’m interested.
