Real Work From Home
It is without a doubt that some people earn a living from their home rather than commute to another location to do work.
Another word for "work at home" is "self-employment". You can view the number of people reported to be self-employed, their industries and earnings in a report on this page at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As you may know, people have worked at home for centuries long before modern hourly or salaried work system. You really should view "work at home" as traditional employment and nothing new. The Internet increases the number of clients and decreases time to complete projects.
Job Types
When doing a search for self-employment type jobs, here are keywords you can use when you type in search engines. Don't just search for "work from home". That is too broad and generic and can lead to types of work outside your range of expertise or training. Most "MLM" jobs are sales and marketing jobs where you earn only if you make a sale. If you have no training or background with online or offline sales and marketing, your chances of success are very slim.
Some types of work such as customer service are old and established. Others like fast food delivery are new. Some jobs are provided through platforms where you register to be notified of contract jobs like Work Market or Thumbtack. Some professionals like photographers, programmers, caterers and others create their own websites to sell their services. If you have a special office skill like customer service, data entry or auditing, there is nothing stopping you from making your own page and selling your services. Another type of platform is Upwork where you find jobs listed in a feed that you must bid to win a freelance job.
