I was spending hours and hours searching for the way to work from home. Don't get me wrong, I am not escaping for my daily obligations to go on the interviews that mostly go wrong and I don't get the job, I am just curious if its possible to work form home. Most of my friends are working as a online tutors for the stuff they are experts in, but I was thinking that there must be some other stuff that you can to by working from home. Any suggestions? Do you guys know any sites where you can spend your time working for them or doing something useful and get paid for that? Tried Freelancer and upwork, didn't work for me...

I don't know any site or things like that at all. But 7 years ago I was working from home and earning $1,000 a month. I wasn't working on any site or blogging like that. I was teaching online. It only happened because I knew someone from South Korea who introduced me to students and the word spread how good I was at teaching that I couldn't fit most of them in my schedule anymore.
So my answer from the question if it's possible, the answer is yes.

@Pappzy Yeah, especially when the students are picky. I was able to build a good reputation and students usually want to join my class. I don't accept kids. All my students are adults, mostly professionals, like School teachers, employees of Samsung and LG, college professors, etc.

Freelancer, upwork didn't work for me. There's no more customers for me in Fiverr. I have offline jobs I do at home. Not everyone is lucky looking for online jobs

Yes, working from home is possible. I've been working from home for 2 years now because I'm a stay-at-home mom and my husband works 2 jobs but we never actually have any spending money after all of the bills but when I started working from home we had enough to cover bills and have fun with. There are a LOT of scams so weeding out the legit opportunities is very difficult, but still possible.

@Pappzy I'll message you when I get on the desktop about it. I'm using my phone right now and it's a little bit harder to use, lol. It's no secret, though.

i have also tried upwork and freelancer. Upwork always gives me spam. i read that once you actually get a job everything gets better but of course getting the job is hard. i am looking for a real job but i want to be able to make money while i am at home. no sense in sitting around doing nothing.
