Internet home jobs sector is notorious for a high percent of scam programs and websites. It is an easy way to get free labor force online and it is a hard task to find and punish the scammer. So, pre-screened and recommended services and sites are really valuable.
Data entry jobs are popular among home job seekers. But where to start the search keeping in mind all those scam stories?
I would recommend turning to freelance sites that list data entry jobs and that have some service provider rating system to protect you from scam.
Example:
Rent a coder
Another way is to address the companies that deal with data entry business. Gaye Laing was kind enough to share a list of reputable companies that provide data entry jobs.
The list:
Axion Data Services
Cypher Litigation Coding
OnSite E-Discovery
DionData Services
CyberSecretaries
The list is certainly not exhaustive, but it gives you some food to digest and some way to go. I will publish extra pre-screened companies as soon as I find them.

While I try to cover miscellaneous home jobs I made up my mind to provide a more systematic approach to our posts. What kind of home job categories is out there? I could count three despite of my hard efforts to count more all jobs I could think about would fall into one of three categories I could define:
1. Freelance: contracted work (outsourcing). You find a short term (as a rule) job provided by some outside employer who pays some fixed amount (or fixed hourly rate) for your services.
Samples: web design, data entry, transcription, translation, forum posting, link building, blog writing, etc.
2. Telecommuting: long term job for some employer. The only difference from a traditional job is that you work from your home, probably with occasional visits to the company office.
Samples: any job you can do from home and office.
3. Home based job: your own business. You sell your service or products for yourself. As you do it from your home most home based businesses are in this way or another PC focused.
Samples: eBay business, drop ship stores, affiliate marketing (i.e. dropshiparea.com), crafts, photography, etc.
Certainly, you can combine all three types in your work (as I try to do with dropshiparea.com) to maximize and diversify your revenue streams.

Largest share of people looking for home jobs are young and middle aged women – those who have recently given birth to a child and need some sort of extra income to support their family. It is a fact.
And here comes some numbers to illustrate this fact. According to US government:
- Number of stay at home moms was about 5 600 000 (as of 2004).
- 55% of infant children moms work.
- 51% of women who gave birth to their first child had to come back to work within 4 months
- 92$ – an average weekly pay women had to cover child caring services
All we can do to help stay at home moms is to provide them with ideas and vacancies for home based job.
