Does anyone know of any real typing jobs that are available working from home. I'm looking for a real job working from home that will pay the bills. I have worked in an office for 32 years and I love to type. Any thoughts or ideas will be grateful.

Are you looking for just typing or for writing jobs? Both are available on sites like getafreelancer.com, odesk.com, guru.com and elance.com - just make sure you look in the right categories. GAF has a 'Data Entry' category that is purely for the simpler copy/paste or typing work. Elance has a Transcription category for audio typing (if I remember right). GAF does referrals, so if you're signing up there it'd be nice to let me know (though by no means obligatory!). Definitely worth checking, though bear in mind that the pay rates are low and it takes time to build up a reputation. It's unlikely they'll pay the bills for quite some time, unless you put in a LOT of hours. Or have small bills!! If you have any questions on any of them, let me know. I'll be happy to help if I can.

I did a little write-up of those four on my blog: http://scrawlbug.com/2009/04/30/freelance-writing-jobs/ Just basic overview of the kind of stuff they do and how I felt about them (purely my opinions).

you might try looking at the schools for some students to write their papers for them.you can put a notice in the papers.you can put flyers up that you will type for a certain amount.

most of the sites that I do just supplement my income at my other job. However if your good at writing and live in the united states, you could make decent money everyday writing articles for associatedcontent. They pay anywhere from 3 to 20 dollars per article and there isnt a limit on how many you can write a day. So if you wrote seven a day and you got 3 dollars a piece that would be 147 dollars a week or 588 dollars a month. hope this helps. :)

There are a lot of ways to make money online but unforetunately if you are looking for something that will support you right away most of them will take some time to develope into an income that will support you. If English is your first language you could work at home as a translater or also as an English instructor. My site has some info on these topics. Look at my profile and best of luck.
