Some companies are proud of the fact they allow all or most of their workers to telecommute. And then there are other companies that offer work at home jobs regularly, but they don’t go out of their way to advertise that fact — possibly because they don’t want to get overwhelmed with applications, or because they don’t always have home-based jobs.
Today I made list of companies that are always advertising their work at home jobs.
These are all completely legitimate companies, and they make it very easy for you to find all the details about their home-based jobs on their websites.
Unlike other companies, the ones in the following list want you to know they allow working from home and you won’t have to jump through hoops trying to find those jobs.
In the list below, I’ve broken the companies down by category and provided a link to their websites and also our review (if there is one posted).
Phone Jobs
Most of the following companies hire for either customer service, sales, and/or tech support.
You will most likely need some type of headset, a quiet background, and a high-speed Windows-based computer (there may be a few exceptions on that below). The experience you need will vary. Many will require at least a little bit of past customer service and/or sales experience while others may be entry-level.

Chat Jobs
It surprises me that I can never find too many chat-based home jobs, especially since so many companies these days have the little chat pop-up when you land on their sites.
I have a list here with a few others in addition to what’s below, but the two below are the main ones with ongoing openings.

Writing
The following companies usually have openings for writers. You’ll notice most of these are content sites — which means a lot of what you do may be ghost writing and also may not pay very competitively.
However, having access to the sites below can help provide a lot of supplemental income. Some people do write for content sites full-time. Another good thing about the companies below is that you can usually get in even without past writing experience.
If you’re serious about writing for a living, I’d also highly recommend becoming a part of Carol Tice’s Freelance Writing Den. Since 2011, the Den has helped over 14,000 writers grow their income.

Virtual Assistants
You can visit the websites for the following companies at any given time and see that they are advertising for remote virtual assistants.
Just as it is with freelance writing, you can make more money working for yourself as a VA than you generally can working under a large company.
Still, the companies below may come in handy if you need experience as a VA and additional income before making the decision to start your own VA business.

Search Engine Evaluation
These companies almost always have openings, sometimes worldwide rather than just in the US.
You are usually evaluating web search or social media results. Sometimes there may be other types of tasks listed. Pay tends to be competitive, but the downside is that work and projects may come and go, so they are not safe positions to depend on.
