Work from home opportunities

Hello

I know this probably comes up time and time again on here.... however as someone who has had a life time battle with anxiety and depression since i was a child, (now 32) i find working in a social environment in the long run is not good for me. I have times where i am back in work in the public eye and i'm ok but then at some point i become ill again.

So i wondered if there were any roles from home that are not a scam that are worth looking into? I know most roles are not going to make a vast some of money, but something to just keep my head ticking along.... i know there are surveys/market research/mystery shoppers etc. But are there any other areas worth looking into? I have a law and business degree so i am intelligent. Various other qualifications too. I'd happily do data entry but seems these roles are few and far between.
I do not have any money to invest, so the likes of forever living and so on are a no go.
I found this one company called UK consumer research http://ukconsumerresearch.co.uk/ however i was dubious as there is a sign up fee. Anyone had any dealings with these people?
Any other home based work - worth looking into?

Thanks in advance

Leapforce, Appen and Lionbridge are all genuine, and especially suitable if you are degree educated. All have threads on the forum. There is also call centre work from home. A few companies offer that. I have worked from home now continuously for over 7 years so it is possible. If you are looking for full time, it may be a struggle, but 20 hours a week is doable.

20 hours is ideal. Could you pm me with any links to opportunities if possible? Thank you x

Done some research on leap force and lion bridge. .. is there a huge difference?
Struggling to find home based call centre rolls though...can you recommend any? Thanks so much x

I have tried so hard and so many times with the nhs one and they never ever reply (apart from the automated reply that they have received my application)

Hi tanya2014 i know same here. I've tried calling and never get through to anyone.

Will try and find out proper contact details. I have a few friends who work for them. I worked for them for 2 years. They often advertise on the Job Centre website. I do know they get hundreds of applicants though.
