Maybe it is just my distrustful nature, but no Debby, I don't think any site/company that advertises working from home doesn't have some kind of hook. Usually that you have to make some sort of investment and work like crazy to make back your money, or make the investment and then find your own customer base anyway. No sorry, I think the only "real" or "secure" telecommuting job is one with a local company where you answer an average newspaper "help wanted" ad for a job and work out a deal with them to work at home. I think there are several jobs that can be done at home (medical transcriptionist, legal transcriptionist), but you need to go through the normal routine of going to the physical office meeting face to face having the normal interview process and working out with the company what you will be paid (whether it is by page or by project) on a piecemeal basis. You may also find some publishing companies that will be willing to let you do proofreading/editing from home. But I wouldn't be looking at "gimmicky" kinds of ads or boards to find that type of position.
