The internet is filled with websites that claim to offer high-paying work at home opportunities that require little to no skills or effort.Don't believe the hype. Finding and obtaining any work from home job, that is worth having, is going to require the same efforts that a typical 9-to-5 job does- dedication, strong job skills, and a willingness to succeed.
If you need help in locating work from home jobs that are right for you, then try searching these sites.
Ratrace Rebellion.com-This website has been featured on BusinessWeek, CNN, USAToday, and even Fortune.
Pros: All jobs are pre-screened for legitimacy. Jobs are updated daily. They even offer free products and advice.
Cons: Slightly ad-heavy.
Craigslist.com- Many people swear by Craigslist, others lament the ease at which scam artists are able to prey on victims. While both points-of-view are valid, I personally believe that there does exist a happy medium, and with the new $25 fee to posts jobs, more legitimate opportunities are becoming available.
Pros: Plenty of job opportunities from around the US and the world at-large. You can also place an ad listing your services/skills for free. Jobs are posted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Cons: High prevalence of scams.
FreelanceSwitch.com- If you are a freelancer or other professional who works from home, then FreelanceSwitch is a site you don’t want to miss out on. Not only can you find job opportunities in design, development, writing, illustration, flash, and more but they feature daily postings on news, advice, and other topics.
Pros: Organized. Features great articles. Lists plenty of resources that can help you in your work from home
Cons: Very popular, which means you’ll be competing with plenty of others for jobs. Costs $7 a month to apply for jobs.
Indeed.com- This site eliminates the need to search multiple job search engines like Monster and YahooJobs by aggregating content from multiple sites and allowing users to view and apply directly from their site.
Pros: Time saving. Able to enter specific search terms and criteria.
Cons: May find same jobs listed multiple times. Job information is not always up-to-date.
Pros: Reputable. Wide variety of job categories.
Cons: Elance deducts between 6.75% and 8.75% from your payments to cover their fees. High competition. Subject to being under bid by workers outside the US.
These sites are but a tiny fraction of the websites that offer work from home opportunities. I will feature many career-specific job sites in the future, as I blog on various work from home opportunities. Can't wait until my next post? Check out this list of 49 places to find telecommuting jobs.
Do you have any work from home websites that you frequent often or would like to recommend? Please feel free to share!
Happy Friday and Happy Job Hunting!
