Surely theres a ligit company out there where i can work from home, help?

There seems to be plenty of people who work from home, so why can't i find anything ligit.
I'm not a beginner on a comp, quite happy to learn new things and pick them up quickly. I am a stay at home mum, but does that mean i'm not good enough to work in my spare time.
It just seems odd that in this day and age of technology that those who can spare 6 hours every evening on a computer, cant get paid something for it.
All the data entry roles i've applied to expect you to ring some dodgy number or pay a one off fee of x amount.
It seems that the only way of getting to work from home is by previously working for a company that then allows you to be flexible with your hours etc.
What if you didnt already work for a company?
Why is so hard to find some sort of paid work that you can do in your spare time.
Unless i come up with my own internet business it means that the best i can hope for would be some sort of p/t evening job (not very flexible there )
Has anyone else been in this situation or know any LIGIT companies that would take me on, do i have any hope before i sell myself to asda!

Hi, very few jobs actually can be done at home in a totally flexible way. I know that the RNIB employs telesales people to work at home calling a list of numbers to sell raffle tickets. I know people who do small business bookwork at home, but unless you have a specific skill like that I think you will struggle.

What do you think you would be able to do on your computer? Do you have any specific skills?

You could set up your own small work from home business if you can't find anything out there.

Alot of people do ironing from home, as people dont have time to do it theirselves, or can't be bothered lol. Small things like that can bring money in easily - alls you'd have to do is pass out some printed leaflets and put up ads in shop windows/noticeboards etc.
