What do people say?

“I have tried Type At Home.com and I am extremely happy with their program. Sure at first it seemed challenging and confusing, because it's a job. Like any other job, you have a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy.” Asktroyg

“I come from an obscure African country but they allowed me to register. This is was a relief to me as had been looking for work from home opportunities but was excluded from most on the basis of my location.  Furthermore I appreciate their flexible modes of payment because my country does not have the facility to receive payment via PayPal. I am glad to be a Type At Home typist.” Ny
