There are a lot of work from home schemes that you can find online. They all seem pretty inviting too, but many of them just seem a little bit too good to be true. And you know what they say about things that seem too good to be true: There usually are.

The big one you see all of the time is filling out surveys. Supposedly you can get cash just for filling out surveys online. But then when you sign up to do this you find out that the surveys don’t pay cash. Instead you earn reward points. And you have to earn a lot of these points before you can trade them in for stuff. That’s not money, that’s stuff!

But there is one out there that I don’t think is a scheme. You can do medical transcriptions or medical billing from the comfort of your own home. All you need is some training which can be done online. Once you are trained you may have to buy some specialized software like medical billing software, but then you are good to go. I’m kind of excited about the prospect of earning some money by working at home, so I’m going to follow up and see if this is for real.
