Well, this question may be a hard one for some and an easy one for others. To me it depends on the individual. You have to ask yourself, what are you looking for? There are different types of what is considered "work from home." Are you looking for a position with a company, however, you do it from the comfort of your home?
Are you looking for a "work from home job" that deals with telemarketing, inbound or outbound; are you looking for a job where you can serve as a research panel for companies. Do you want to do affiliate marketing or simply copy and paste ads and get paid marketing other companies? Do you have a skill that you can provide to people such as graphic design, ghost writing, social networking, the list is long and the problem is, you can get lost searching for "the one" that would make a difference to you financially and give you the freedom you are looking for.
There are just as many legit companies out there as there are scams. Just be careful when looking for one. One thing that I have learned in my search is beware of the companies or people that want to sell you that pipe dream of you will make 5k in one week. Enough with that already, but people still fall for it, because you need the money right now, and you get that bill money and tell yourself, if I could invest this $99.99 into this company, and its the 1st, then by the 30th, I would have made my money back and some.
I have been there, I have done that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, but be careful, because there are sharks out there preying on people that are desperate, or what did this one guy say "that are hungry," that was the terms he used. Yup I was got that time, but I learned my lesson. We all do from trials and error.

Where Do I Start...
So where do I start. My name is Rahil, and I am a mother of two beautiful children. One is in college and the other in elementary school. Okay, before you start, yes I waited and had another child 12 years apart, so as I was sending one of to college, the other was going to 1st grade. Tell me about it, there went my retirement plans. I am suppose to be traveling the world, sight seeing beautiful places by now. Do I have regrets, no, I don't. I love my children and I do my best as a single mother to raise them the best way I can to prepare them for the world.
I always had and still have a desire to be self-employed, working from home or setting my own hours. I have ventured down this road for many years searching just like many for that one product or company that can bring me the capital to support my needs financially so I can provide my children the time they deserve, be it football camp, basketball, track, you name it, I keep him busy.
Since 2005, the year my son was born, I have did work from home companies such as west at home agent, arise and ventured into some other as well, however, although I have some friends that still work for these companies to this day, for me, I found that it still constrains me. I felt like I was working a 9-5 at home instead of feeling like I was working around my sons schedule. I also began blogging in 2009 and started learning about keywords, adwords, and really signed up for almost everything and became overloaded.
Last year in December 2013, I decided to begin my search again for work from home companies that I can do that would give me that time and financial freedom that I need. I told myself this time I would venture into 3 different companies and test the waters to see what would be a good fit for me to do. I also did not want to put all my eggs in one basket.
Putting all your eggs in one basket is not a good thing, however, I learned the hard way that when you start out, you have to put all your focus in one basket, build up that company to where you want it to be, become established by branding yourself, and then after that, you can venture into other companies and have multiple streams of income.
