Question
The internet is full of opportunity but, only few are real.

Is there any legitimate work from home that can help some earn residual income online without having to pay for registration fee of any kind?

Hi Chucks,
There are many opportunities to make money from home, but few free resources offer residual income. The only free residual income resources I'm aware of (besides books and music) are some affiliate programs that provide services (ie web hosting). All other legitimate ones I know about will require a business start up fee that covers a kit. In this case, you still want to be careful. While its is okay to spend money to start a business, if you're starting a business opportunities you want to make sure it meets the standard set by the Federal Trade Commission. Check with companies in the Direct Selling Association as they have a standard as well. http://www.dsa.org

What you want to avoid is jobs (employment), survey and mystery shopping sites that charge a fee. Also avoid programs that have a lot of hype or use the word "guarantee". Finally don't ever use your personal bank account to help a company do business (fake check scams).
