"These jobs are great," James said. "You can work from home and set your own hours with many of them, and it's a great way to earn some money."
James said he has done the research on these jobs and warns job seekers to always check with the Better Business Bureau to review a company.
He also warns that if a company asks for cash for materials or training, that's a red flag.
