I recommend the Work-at-Home Moms' Forum at http://www.wahm.com/forum/ . They have forums for work-at-home jobs that are legit. Also look on mturk.com and search for requesters like AboutUs Mechanical Turk Operators, Paul Pullen, and Andy K.
Benefits of online employment jobs include flexible working hours, as well as, the ability to work from your own home. This allows stay at home moms/dads to watch their child while working. However, the pay may not be as higher as comparable jobs where you have to physically go to a workplace.
