I Have A Question About Online Jobs
« on: April 06, 2013, 09:55:53 am »
I am a mother of a 4 year old and he is currently in school.  Unfortunately, in my situation, I have no one who is able to bring him or pick him up from school.  I don't have any kind of money for a baby-sitter and I would prefer to take care of my own child anyway.  So I am looking for a legitimate online job that will pay me enough to take care of him and possibly save some extra money towards buying a house.  Is there anyone who know about legitimate jobs online???????????????????????  I feel like I've looked everywhere and have found nothing but scams.... :

I feel for you because I remember those days  well.  Unfortunately, most "online" jobs tend to be just that "scams"!!!!  I never was able to find anything worthwhile either.  My only advice would be if you think a job is legitimate read the fine print - if they ask you for money - then you know it's a scam!!!!  Good luck!!!

The only legitimate online jobs that I know of are the GPT (get-paid-to) and survey sites such as Fusion Cash and their are many others too.  I don't think I am allowed to list competitor sites on her but you can send me an e-mail to pgaryder29@gmail if you want more information.

Just on you own you may not make such a huge amount of money but with some referrals you can see your earning potential increase a lot.

The only "work from home" jobs you can earn enough to really support yourself with are telecommute jobs, and they can be hard to get into.

When I was bored at the middle of my HS/College days I would usually try to make some pocket money online, on GPT (Get-to-paid), PTC (Paid-to-click), and Survey panels sites... Although they do provide some income, it isn't like a job that can support a person.. Other then that, it's more time consuming then rewarding.

In my experience the best rewarding GPT that I came across is Swagbucks, and the best PTC site is Neobux (but I wouldn't recommended because you need to invest in it...rented referral investment gamble stuff)... For survey panels you must find legit survey panels and the ones that pays well also. To qualify for most surveys form survey panels you must be a well rounded person in opinions and outgoing (like traveling, going to restaurants, movies, open to products, etc).

For other online jobs, there is also blogging... Blogging is pretty good source of income if your blog is popular and you are able to get revenue from ads, chip-ins, and referral services.. But like any other things, you must dedicate a lot of time to blogging and make sure it has a nice website layout, up-to-date content, and something people are interested about, etc.

I heard there were some Work-at-Home Customer Service Jobs but it's very hard to find because of scam and the location

I don't think you will be able to realistically. Most of the money I make online is more like "pocket money". It helps, every little bit helps trust me. Especially in the hard economic times we live in right now.

My daughter is in the same boat.  She has a convenience store right now and has to be at work at 4:30 a.m.  She is planning on having a baby and wants to find something to do at home.

There are sites like these where you can make a little extra cash. For a real job though there isn't much. If you have things to sell you can do that to make some extra money. There are companies who hire people to do customer service work from home but I don't know what qualifications you need to have. Do some good research and I'm sure you can find something

I've been looking for legit online jobs as well. But the PTC and survey sites are the closest thing I've found. Hope you find something.

There's transcription jobs, but the online version doesn't always pay minimum wage. But if you're a fast typist and good listener with figuring out bad audio, might be better than nothing. Experience and practice might make up for low pay now in a better job in the future. Even if you aren't very quick, if you have headphones or a quiet area, it's at least something to try out and practice. A good skill, you know?
