I don’t think there is a day that goes by that somewhere in my email I don’t see some great offer to work from home. They vary from filling out surveys, to working for Ebay, Google, you name it I get them. The one I love is mystery shoppers. Requirements like – you must be 5′10″ and shop in the big and tall department of Macy’s – right ok try someone else!
Anyway, it’s not easy to work on your own but for those of us who chose to do so we need legitimate sources for work.
As I have said before (and I repeat) ODesk so far has been for me the absolute best. For typing if you’re looking for transcription work, for ‘rewording’ articles, websites, etc., you only need identify the right buyers.
Don’t get frustrated – the jobs are out there and they’re legit, it just might take some time to find them.
Do a search on ODesk. They charge you no fees as a provider. You’re not going to perhaps make as much as if you were employed with a brick and mortar establishment, but you can make a good living if you are willing to stick with some of the ‘lousy’ assignments and do a good job regardless of how much you dislike that particular assignment.
For me, after a few short months I’ve been lucky to have 4-5 buyers that use my services all the time and are paying me good money to work 30-50 hours a week (depending on the assignments) and I’m very happy doing what I am doing which is all writing (articles and website content).
Good luck!
