Question by Michael:
I’m looking to bring in some extra cash from home. We all know that there are lots of Different types of Legitimate work-from-home jobs out there like Data Entry, Call Centers, Freelance Writing, editing etc.
(For a huge list you can check out: http://workathomemoms.about.com/od/companieshiringwahms/Companies_Hiring_for_Work_at_Home_Jobs.htm )

I would specifically like to know which type of work-from-home job, or even better, which companies, tend to pay the most.
Generally I am looking to be paid per hour. I’ve worked from home before doing web design where I was paid per project. Unfortunately working…

Hi all. I know I’m grasping at straws expecting the Yahoo Answers community to point me in the direction of my dream job, but other than a couple of points I really have nothing to lose by asking, so here I go:

I am a college grad with a Bachelor’s degree and six years of bookkeeping/administrative/customer service experience, as well as supervisory experience. I mostly stumbled into that line of work haphazardly while I was just trying to make some spare change during my school years. I was hoping to switch to a more personally fulfilling career this year, but…

I’ve been freelance writer (online) for about 2 years now and I tend to avoid applying for jobs that ask for my rates because I never know what to charge!
Are there any experienced freelancers out there? What is appropriate to charge for a 500-word piece?

I worked as a secretary for a franchise owner for about 2 months. He paid me in cash, but took out taxes. I have pay stubs from every week saying he took out taxes. Today I got a 1099 in the mail from him with an income about $1,000 lower than what I actually made.

I was not sub-contract or freelance. I worked a regular schedule, 40 hours a week. I was paid an hourly rate.

I insisted he pay me in cash because the checks he did write bounced. I eventually had to leave the job because…

I’m a freelance web designer. In November 2008, I designed a site for a club team at my college and the coach promised I would receive all of my “work-study” money in exchange for doing the site at that time. I would start receiving my work-study payments in January when the new semester starts and it would total out to be about $1250.
So I did the site in November last year. When the new semester rolled around, I was suddenly ineligible to receive work-study money. I went to the coach and asked them what can we do, and…

It’s time to start my own business. I have a salaried full-time job at a TV station in marketing, as a sales/research coordinator, where I’ve worked for 4 years. There’s a high turnover rate in our department (due to the department head, who’s a combo of the boss from the movie “Office Space” and the pointy-haired boss in the Dilbert comics).

I have a B.A. in Communications, and I’m a thesis away from an M.A. in Communications, with an English/Literature Minor. I have 15 years of experience in Media, working in every form–print (as a reporter/photographer), media research, presentation &…

I was offered a job last week and need to determine a fair salary. Originally the job was a freelance position offering 30 hours a week in print design work (paid on an hourly rate). The person who had this job was responsible for the design and layout of a 16 page magazine, light ad sales, and other design work such as brochures. I do not know how much this person was paid, but I do know he had the time to take other freelance jobs on the side with other businesses.

This job was transformed into a part time…

I need to find a SIMPLE way to figure out taxes if I am self-employeed. For federal, state & SSI. Is it too much to ask to find a place that just gives you the formula’s and definations for all three? I know my local tax is a flat rate % so I’m not concerned about that. I got more confussed than ever when I “googled” self employment. Thanks for whatever help you can give. All I want to do is babysit for a friend & do some freelance writing so I need to a program for my taxes.
