In an effort to confirm that there are lots of scams out there but there are also lots of truly paying work from home jobs, here's a list of jobs that you can do at home without having to pay a single cent for any assembly instructions or training materials:

1. Professional Blogging
With your writing skills and passion for a subject, you don't have to pay for anything except your computer and Internet connection. Where do you find paid blogging jobs? Job boards such
s Jobs.problogger.net, and weblogs.about.com have lots of them.

2. Freelance Writing
Like professional blogging, all it takes your writing prowess and project-hunting skills. If you'd like to learn how to be a better freelance writer, there's not much harm in taking paid online courses, provided you know that the source of the e-course is an established writer. But if you're asked to pay a certain fee to become a freelance writer, walk sisters and brothers walk away. Craigslist.org and sites that compile freelance writing jobs such as Writersrow.com can
help.

3. Transcribing
Whether you'd like to be a general transcriptionist, a medical transcriptionist or a legal transcriptionist, you can become one without having to pay for any materials from your employers.

4. Virtual Assistant
If you enjoy serving others doing clerical work or administrative tasks and technology savvy, you can become a virtual assistant rendering services to entrepreneurs who could need a helping hand. To find virtual assistant projects, Craigslist.org and the VA Network forum are great sources.
