Without a doubt Telecommuting jobs as well as other work from home jobs are great opportunities. However, in the same way that it's easy for you to look for this sort of job, at the same time it's also difficult to find a legitimate telecommuting job. What makes it difficult for you to find a telecommuting job is because there are frauds, illegitimate companies and sites on the internet that states that they offer you the job which fit for you when in reality, they are just out to con you. Thus, in order to earn a good income by means of telecommuting, searching for a job is not enough. Here are few tips that will help you find the Best Telecommuting Jobs. 

First, check the contact information on the company website. Do they offer a street address and telephone number? Try calling the number (unless the employment ad specifically requests no phone calls) or search the business yellow pages to see if the company information matches. If you can't find any information to verify it's a real company, that might mean they are simply new - or they might be scammers posing as a real employer.

Secondly, researching a company is important in deciding whether it's a company you would like to work for. Search all the information about the companies over the Internet; as with several different work at home forums and blogs where particular company’s legitimate and non-legitimate companies are from time to time discussed at great lengths.

Then, search the company name and the word "scam" in quotations. If anyone has mentioned the company and the word "scam" together in an article, on a blog, or even in a discussion forum, most likely that result will pop up. You can also substitute the word scam for "scheme" or "fraud". If there are negative reports to be found anywhere, you will probably get them in search results.

Getting to know others who already work in telecommuting positions and hearing their experiences with certain companies will help you in determining which directions to take in your own search for telecommute jobs. 

Finally, be certain that you are eligible and knowledgeable about the task. Apart from doing all your research and aspiring for the best telecommuting jobs, you have to also be certain that you are qualified for the job. It will allow you to be easily hired by the company. And finally, do not ever allow the thought of a huge pay fool you. In other words, don't be a vulnerable victim of the low-investment and bigger-pay trap. Cons use this in order to deceive individuals like you and if you let yourself to be lured, then chances are you won't earn a living but the cons will surely make money from you.
