are "work from home" jobs all scams? or are there legit ones?

[Gato Moteado]

i have a friend here in costa rica who is from the US. she does not have residency here in costa rica and cannot work at a costa rican business because of that. she's having a hard time finding consulting work she can do. i'm wondering if anyone knows of any of these "work from home" jobs that are legit so i can point her in the direction of getting some work. she doesn't need to make a lot of money, just enough to support herself in costa rica. she's web savvy and has experience with graphic design (she's not a graphic designer, but a photographer with solid photoshop skills)....but, really, she would be happy with any type of work she can do from her apartment via the internet.

thanks.

1. Virtual Call Centers. Some of the big call center companies use work from home representatives.

I don't know which companies but check out the online publications and websites for the call center industry. They usually have a lot of info on what's going on in different companies.

2. Well, I know someone who works from home, but what she does isn't exactly 'legal'

No! NOT that kind of work!

More import export...

4. Work from Home

Hi,
I work from home and I will share my experience,maybe that will help your friend.I have been into online business for the past few years,I do reselling business.It is very easy to make a good turnover because the cost for each service is fixed by reseller and also it has a fixed commissioned pay for each sale.Since many people want to open websites for their business for attracting customers through internet they will be in need of domain related services.So one can resell domain related services.I am a reseller with Goresellers.com,you just need to quote a price and sell because the customer service and payment will be handled by them.
