The
Internet has exploded with opportunities for those who are looking
for an additional stream of income or want to break away from their
current 9-5 and have more flexibility while working at home.
There
isn’t a single type of person that wants to work from home. It can
run the gamut from the stay-at-home moms who want to find
opportunities to the executive who has recently been laid off and
needs to find something in the meantime to tide himself over.
Whether you simply want to make a little extra cash or you are
trying to bridge the gap between full-time to flex-time work, there
is something for everyone who is looking to find a work at home
opportunity.
But, how do you find the right opportunities for
yourself? If you have done any research at all, you will realize
that there is not a shortage of scams out there. You have to be
prudent in your choices so you don’t end up spending time or money
on a so-called opportunity that is of little to no worth. Here are
some legitimate sources that will help you on the road to freedom
and flexibility.
What Opportunities Are There Out There?
1.
Freelance Writing
Freelance writing is an opportunity
that does not necessarily require a lot of experience though it is
helpful if you have it. There are countless topics that clients are
willing to pay to have content written for and you do not have to be
an expert in order to write about it. If you do the right kind of
research, freelance writing can be a lucrative endeavour. There are
a many reputable sites such as oDesk and Freelance that offer
thousands of opportunities at a time.
Another way to find
resources for freelance
writing is to network. If you know someone who is already
writing from home, then ask him or her how they got started. You may
be surprised how many opportunities come from putting yourself out
there and asking the right questions.
2. Customer Service
or Technical Support
If you want to continue working in a
field that you are familiar with or have experience such as customer
service, sales or technical support, there are sources out there
that can help. Sites like Arise and Solo Gig have listings for a
variety of consulting or contract positions. For Arise, you must
become certified as an Arise Certified Professional. Once this
happens, you are in control and have the ability to choose which
clients you will work for, how many hours, etc. Solo Gig lists
offers that need to be filled quickly. If you are skilled in the
technical or professional arena, you can find positions that need
placement as soon as possible.
3. Odd Jobs and
Tasks
There is a growing community of employers who do
not have the time to complete a variety of tasks. These tasks can
range from the very simple to the more complicated. For example,
there may be jobs that require creating a spreadsheet or another
that wants to have forms filled out online. It really could be
anything but the common factor is that it is a task that usually
does not require a lot of time. There are sites where you can find
many different types of short term offers. A couple of examples are
Short Task and Live Work.
Finding legitimate work
opportunities from home can be extremely time consuming if you
don’t know where to look. If you are able to streamline your
efforts then you can put that energy into finding the right job that
will allow the flexibility and freedom you have been longing for!
