working from home online

United States
September 16, 2011 3:33pm CST
I have been racking my brain. I've spent more money than I can afford. I've searched and searched for a work online opportunity with no success. I do not want to get rich. I just want to provide a better life for my family. Is it all a scam? Are there any true opportunities out there?

There are six billion people on this planet wanting the same thing! Unless same Aliens come to provide jobs, there isn't much hope. "Can I wash your spaceship, Sir?"

look for payment proofs before joining into anything.go for only freebies at the start .After you get a substantial income invest 5 percent of it into online.please dont invest a large sum in things that are scams.

I think the investment is very risky to be fooled.

some people said if you believe you can do this then you can but it needs a big effort, time and never giving up and I am not qualified in making money online since I don't have the requirements

Finding work online jobs is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Either you'll have to look in Craigslist for telecommuting work, be willing to pay the membership fee at Flexjobs.com to get the scoop on real online jobs, or you create your own business in some way. The easiest thing to do is write for sites like Text Broker and London brokers. However, you won't be making the money that pays rent. You'll be making the kid of money that can buy a drink here or there. If you go into business for yourself online, doing internet marketing courses that actually work, then you can build your way up to your own wealth. But you truly have to dig for those. The reason I mention writing for Text broker because even though they pay very little, you start building the basic blocks of writing content online, a skill that is needed all the time. Eventually, other marketing companies will take notice. Other than that, you'll have to fins a jobs elsewhere offline, even if it's part time.

I currently work from home in customer care with a company that is contracted with Arise( www.arise.com). They provide mainly call center work but there are some chat opportunities as well. Just know that they only contract with corporations or LLC. If you are not the call center kind of person, check out ratracerebellion.com which is a website that provides info about other work from/at home opportunities with links to websites.

I am sure that there are opportunities to make a living online. However, it takes dedication and perserverance that few have. I think that a major problem is that the true niches are, as in other business areas, few and far between. The internet is overcrowded by scammers and those that are scammed. Filtering the worthwhile is nigh on impossible. My line is that I come here and one or two survey sites that pay me enough to buy the ocasional treat - a book for example. For groceries I go out to work and do something far more conventional!

There are opportunities but I don't know where you can try because if you like to write, there are lots of opportunity for writers online. You can also try to sell your stuffs online or render a service to people who's in need of your talent, so its all up to you, what do you specialize, what talents or skills do you have and from there you can start.

If you are in the U.S. you can try leapforce@home. I warn you, though, these jobs are difficult to get and difficult to perform if you do get hired. On the other hand, it is a real job, performed from your home, and there is money to be made.

Keep posting here on MyLot, you earn extra money that way and you're doing something you like. If you are good at writing, find sites that pay you for your writing. You can earn online, but it takes a lot of time and effort to get some extra money.

Of the many sites there must be one that make you succeed. you just need patience and hard work. When I started making money online people just smirked and cynical, they jeered but I keep looking for the best.

It's a good thing that i stumbled onto this discussion. I'm just new to myLot... and i'm also new to online jobs... Initially, i have my hesitations - i have doubts if online jobs really work.. then, i got the proofs from two of my officemates - actual paypal payments from online jobs.. And I know from then that online jobs are for real (though there are also scams).. Usually, at first, you will tend to choose sites that will offer you quick and instant income, i suggest that you will be careful on this.. all you have to do is to filter, read reviews before entering or joining... i guess it takes a lot of courage, determination and patience to finally obtain what we really wish for..

You know I thank God that I am not the only one that feels like you do. I have been through it all I am a first time wife and a stay at home mom and I have tried everything that I could think of to support my husband. But Bit there is a break through I have been doing research for over 2 years now and I had been praying to God to lead me in the direction that I needed to go and after 2 years he delivered to me a few days ago. work at home virtual call center, customer service from home, data entry, telemarketing from home appointment setter. Listen don't be like me if they want you you won't have to pay you if thry ask you to pay it's a scam.

Yea, I have wanted to do the same thing as well. I wanted to work on a data entry from home job since its what I'm studying for. I have been looking and looking but nothing. I have said to myself that if I keep trying I can probably find something but I found out that looking for this is like someone expecting for money to grow on trees, they are both impossible. That's why I just got a job out there. Not that I wasn't looking while looking for online jobs.

I work from home at the moment and can confirm that it certainly is more than possible to be able to earn a living online. The thing is, nothing is easy, and you have to be prepared to work hard for what you want and you are going to have to spend a lot of time building up your business. For example, I earn most of my money online by writing articles, and I have worked out that I have to write on average five articles per day in order to pay for my bills and my house. I can do this though, but you shouldn't want to do it unless you're willing to put the right amount of work in.

Well Mylot is a good online site that you can earn some money, But you'd have to be active and be very committed, you'll earn a few dimes or quarters a day which is not bad you'd probably have about $2 to $3 for the week.
