Default How do you find legit online jobs

Hi ladies and gents,

This maybe in the wrong place. It may even have been asked a thousand times already (so my apologies if this is the case) but I could do with some help here.

I would like to find an online job (by that, I mean something that is home based where I can work x amount and get paid for it) that can suppliment my income. I would like to make at least $15 a day and get at least $200 per month ($300 would be better though). I have seen a lot of "paid to" sites but there always seems to be a catch and I'm tired of it.

My ultimate aim is to do go from that and eventually do something online (either one single venture or multiple ventures) that can make around $3500-5000 a month so I can quit my old job. I have health problems (which aren't improving) and with the current climate I am having to seriously think alternative ways of living such as doing something on the Internet. My job pays less than that but I need the extra income for medical expenses.

I'm not calling for a sympathy vote here. God knows, we all deserve to be healthy and happy and I'm not the only one who has problems, so I'm please don't take this the wrong way. I'm just wondering in the "sea" of sites and products and offers and gimmicks, is it possible to find something as a starting point and build it up from there? Can anyone in the know give me some good suggestions? At this point I don't care if I just make $10 a week, as long as I know its for real and not some scam or fluke.

I don't really want to buy anything (because I did in the past and felt short changed) and also because my funds are limited.

Thanks for replying. I had a look at the site but it seems to be for coders and I'm not a coder.

OK,

$15 a day is something you should create for yourself. Most sites where you could make $15 a day would end up making you work a lot more hours for that $15 than if you just create a $15 stream of income for yourself.

To advise what to do to create the $15 a day stream of income we would need to know what you can do or like to do.

I know you can do it though.

Okay, so you are saying that the sites offering jobs like that want too much in return. Thats a shame. I thought there might have been a few decent options there.

When I think of doing something myself it just gives me a headache. If you think of an idea people are already doing it and have covered the market. Thats why I thought of just an online job to start with.

As for skills I work as a manager for a store, I'm good with people but I don't think that translates well into an online business.

There's hundreds upon hundreds of legit jobs online with companies that hire home workers but you don't state where exactly you're located. Most online jobs that I know of hire those from mainly the US and Canada and a few for the UK as well.

If you are not from the US/Canada/UK then I would suggest freelancing. Sites like guru.com or odesk.com or even better: right here at the Warrior Forum. If you are able to write articles, offer copywriting service, or proofreading....put an ad in the for hire section.

Good luck to you!
Teresa

I would agree with what George said. You're better off making your own site which sells your own product or service for long term sustainability.

Now with that said, I found a web gig on Craigslist which led me to create my own website based off what I was doing. What was the job? Research and data gathering for a restaurant review website. It was actually kind of fun gathered all the information for them, but I realized I could make more with my own website then they were paying me. I worked about 3-4 hours a day and got paid $12 per restaurant. I made about $1,500.

All though be careful with Craigslist because I did get scammed out of my time by another webmaster who did not pay me for a similar research position.

I'll also second what Tersea said, offer your services right here on the Warrior Forum doing the things others don't have time to do or would rather outsource.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies. I will check out the Hire section.

Teresa: I am based in the UK. What sites apart from the Warrior Forum would you recommend for freelance work?

Ethanson: I agree with what you said. However isn't setting up a "successful" venture a bit like finding a diamond in the rough? It seems every idea has been thought of already and you have to be an expert in marketing to compete with other people.
