The real trick is finding legitimate work from home jobs. If you are going to make money in a bad economy, you might as well find a opportunity that is legitimate, and not something that promises you the moon only to get your start up fees.

Here is some great legitimate work from home jobs to consider :
  1. Virtual Assistants : Many companies are attempting to outsource their business to other countries, but there has been a large backlash against this in much of the United States. As a result, many call centers are paying home-based call center workers to pick up the slack. With new call-routing technology and the internet, it is becoming easier and easier for individuals to ply their trade as contract call center operators from their home. Corporations are seeing the benefit of this, especially since studies show that house-based call center workers are better educated and more loyal to the company than traditional call center employees. The pay isn’t always high, sometimes starting at eight dollars an hour, and it can be a bit slow at the beginning but once things get going you may find you are very busy.
  2. Centralist Job Board : The Jobs at centralist is a good way to find jobs that pay $15 to $20 an hour these jobs can range from data entry jobs to Content Writing Jobs. That being said it does not mean all jobs posted are legitimate. 80% of The Jobs posted are scams you have to be careful before you give in your personal details. Never join or take on any job that ask you to pay money as a registration fee, thatch a big warning sign.
  3. Be A Freelancer : I have found this to be the most legitimate and good way to start  working from home online, You can register free on these sites, Bid on projects you want to work on and if your selected you complete the job and you get paid.
  4. e-commerce Business : The internet opens up many opportunities for a home business and none more so than starting up an e-commerce business. Whether you are selling products you make or collectibles you have, or even stuff that is in your basement there is a lot of money to be made when you can reach a global customers base, rather than just a local one. In 2008, the e-commerce sector in the United States alone was worth over $200 billion
below represent just a few examples to be used for your encouragement :

Paul and Alison Martin, who met while they were students at Stanford University, decided to launch a Web-based baby-product business shortly after the birth of their twins, Ainsley and Sierra. The couple launched Noss Galen Baby in February 2004, just before Paul graduated.
By May 2005, Paul said, the site was profitable enough to support the family.
The Martins had some distinct advantages. Paul had programming and start-up experience from a stint at PayPal, so he built and maintains their Web site. The couple also moved from expensive Menlo Park, Calif., to more reasonable Albuquerque, N.M., which keeps down their living costs.
Perhaps even more significant, the Martins were able to capitalize their business with stock-option money from Paul's time at PayPal. But Paul said initial inventory costs were just a few thousand dollars, and he could have gotten a small-business loan or worked a part-time job to keep the venture going until profits came in.
