Find legitimate work-from-home opportunities online
Carol is the proud new mommy of a baby boy. She isn't ready to return to her customer service job, but she needs the income.
Dave is a project manager for an outsourcing company. His company is planning layoffs. He suspects he will soon be unemployed.
I hear stories like these every day. Many people are ready to take control of their careers and work independently.
TECH TIPS:
No matter your education or experience, the Internet can help. There are plenty of scams, but you'll find many legitimate work-from-home opportunities. I've rounded up some of the best. Find links to sites mentioned at www.komando.com/news.
Freelancing
A wide variety of sites list freelancing opportunities. Freelancing isn't limited to writers and designers. You'll find opportunities for administrative assistants, accountants, computer programmers and other professions.
Major job boards and small, niche sites post freelance opportunities. I recommend Elance, Guru and FreelanceSwitch.
You can post a profile and portfolio. Then, browse projects and submit proposals. You'll get a limited number of free bids. You get more bids with paid memberships, which start at $10 monthly.
Customer service and sales
Experienced customer service and phone sales reps can also work virtually. You'll need a quiet environment, a computer, high-speed Internet and a landline. You may be required to pay $10 to $50 for a background check.
LiveOps, Alpine Access, West at Home and Working Solutions list opportunities. Pay varies, but expect to earn $6 to $30 hourly. You set your hours.
Virtual concierge
Are you resourceful? Do you have high-end customer service experience? Then you could be a virtual concierge.
Virtual concierges book reservations and find answers to questions. Or, you may get wacky requests. You may need to find a dress worn in a movie or hire animals for a child's party.
Pay for a virtual concierge with VIPdesk starts at $14 hourly. You need a home office, a dedicated landline and high-speed Internet.
Direct sales
If you enjoy selling, consider direct sales. You're not limited to home decor and kitchen products. Many companies have programs; you're sure to find products that match your interests.
Visit the Direct Selling Association's site for advice and information. There's also a directory of direct selling companies. You can visit a company's site to learn about its program.
You may be required to buy products to sell. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. And make sure the company buys back unsold stock. Profits vary, based on the product.
Shopping and surveys
You've probably heard about mystery shopping and survey taking. These opportunities won't keep food on the table, but they can supplement your income.
Mystery shoppers pose as customers and review stores. You earn $5 to $100 per review. The Mystery Shopping Providers Association offers an extensive database of opportunities.
Marketing companies will pay you to answer questions or join focus groups. You may earn a dollar or two per survey. In rare cases, you'll earn a few hundred dollars. Try SurveySavvy, SurveySpot and American Consumer Opinion.
Telecommuting
You don't have to be your own boss to work from home! You just need to find telecommuting opportunities.
Regular job boards often list telecommuting work. Use "telecommuting" as a keyword. Or, visit Telework Recruiting or FlexJobs. Membership starts at $15 monthly.
The National Telecommuting Institute helps individuals with disabilities find telecommuting opportunities. It offers listings and advice.
A warning
Work-from-home scams abound online. Research any opportunity diligently. Be especially wary of get-rich-quick offers.
Check companies at the Better Business Bureau and on Google. Enter the company name along with "scam." This can alert you to others' bad experiences.

THE gold price will stay around the historically high $US1100 an ounce mark, despite the US dollar strengthening, according to major global gold producer.
The gold price is usually high when the greenback is weak because the metal is seen as a safe-haven investment, so staying around $US1100 would reverse the usual dynamic.
Newmont Asia-Pacific regional group executive operations Philip Stephenson said in Perth yesterday the gold price would remain strong in the long term.
He said the US dollar had gained ground, reflecting uncertainty in European economies, investors piling out of the euro and into the greenback.
"It will be interesting to see how long it is until it returns to its normal linkage," he said.
"Russia and India continue to buy, and I don't see this changing in 2010. China's insatiable appetite for gold remains."
Gold and copper recoveries were above design expectations, he said.
"Don't be surprised if this ends up being an operation that goes for 30 to 40 years."

Buy Gold While Supplies Last, Says Fund Manager -
Lost in the headlines over the dollar's resurgence in 2010 is the fact gold is still rising in most worldwide currencies. It is also still faring well in dollar terms. Gold is trading at around $1,120 per ounce, up about $60 in the last month.
Frank Holmes, CEO and CIO of U.S. Global Investors, a long time gold bull sees no reason for this trend to end.
He tells Aaron in the accompanying clip, "there are many compelling factors both from a supply side and then from the demand side that looks like gold will trade higher."
Holmes' reasons to bullish on gold:
-- Massive federal deficits and low interest rates in the United States and elsewhere will raise inflation risks and keep downward pressure on currencies.
-- Rising incomes in Asia, where affinity for gold runs deep, will have a sizable positive impact on demand; Holmes tells Aaron that China is now the largest producer of gold in the world but that won't drive down prices because the government is "using it as a reserve currency for themselves." However, bulls should note China's chief for exchange official said this morning they would limit their purchases.
-- Peak Gold? Gold production from mines is not adequate to meet demand. Production is dropping around the world. Holmes notes worldwide production ell 10% in 2008 and is especially dramatic in South Africa - the world's largest producer.
Holmes, however, does have a few words of caution for those looking to get rich on gold. He only recommends a 10% allocation in gold that would be divided evenly between bullion and stocks. Among his favorite gold stocks is Randgold Resources Limited, a stock he owns and has recommended here in the past for its strong management.

It seems we aren't the only ones recycling metals. Look what the Olympic medals are made of! (I wonder if the gold-plated Gold Medals are made from our recycled gold??)
The Medal Count, by Market Value
This year’s Olympic medals “are the first containing metal salvaged from televisions, circuit boards, monitors and electronic waste.” Both the “gold” and “silver” medals are actually 92.5% silver, while the bronze medals are mostly copper. The first-place medals (which are gold-plated) are valued at about $537; the second-place medals are valued at about $300; and the third-place medals are valued at $3.40.
Cybermetrics calculated this year’s Olympics champion, by market value of the medals — Canada takes first place with a total haul of $9,635. (HT: Cyril Morong)
