Can someone PLEASE help me to finally get a work from home job?

Hi,

Umm, that's your problem. You're looking for a "job" and not looking to build an actual online business. I'll let the other warriors tell you how to build a business. But one thing i will say is that you should stop looking for "New Methods". Find one thing that you know will work and stick with it...Work on it until you make some money. When you're making money with it consistently, You should scale it up as much as you can.

My advise might sound a bit vague but its something I wish someone would have told me when I was the one making these "Help" threads. It takes a lot of courage to come out and ask for help. I'm glad you did. I wish you all they very best and genuinely hope you make it big online.

Good Luck..

Cheers,
Kunal

I don't think this is an issue about not having enough money. Look at the root of the cause, you're income is not enough to cover your expenses.

The simple solution, make a budget and stick with it. Your rent or mortgage should not be more than 30% of your income. If you make 1,500 a month, get something that is under 450 a month. Get a cheaper cell phone plan...

If you have a land line phone, you can try getting work from home jobs at Alpine Access or Arise. It costs money to work for either because you have to buy a headset for Alpine Access or pay for "tuition" for Arise.

There is a great forum that lists all work from home jobs you can check out. There's too many to besides the top 2 (Arise and Alpine Access) that I know of, but you can check the forum and find a lot of opportunities there. It's called Work Place Like Home. Just type it into Google and it'll come up for you.

Other than that, keeping to a budget and eliminating extras like rammonster suggested is the first place to start.

Try thinking of some ways you can help others in your town. If you have a car, you can run errands for people and charge per hour or mile.

Start recording videos!

kea55 - I always advise that when you are looking for extra income that you make a list of all your skills. What jobs have you held and what tasks did you perform? Do you have any talents that would lend to making money? Make a honest list and take the time to examine what your skill set is and then look at opportunities to turn one or more of them into making money.

What are your key talents? Identify those, and you can probably use them to find a job on Fiverr.com.

Try Fiverr for starters what would you do for $5 dollars. Come up with some good gigs, sign up for a paypal account and get the ball rolling.

Once you get a little cash coming in get into affiliate marketing..... Do both! Good luck!

You know, I've only been a member here for a few weeks and I've seen this thread put up at least 8 times already in varying forms. Now I'm beginning to understand why most regulars here find them annoying. Making money online is hard work, just the same as making money offline.

I've written about this on my blog -- people see the millions of dollars being made and think it must be easy, but they don't see all the hard work and the 70 hour weeks that went into building a business from scratch. You can see what I had to say about it here: The Two Secret Reasons Most Get Rich Quick Schemes are a Failure | The Personal Finance Help Center

For me, I make my whole living online, though mostly from those same sites that you can't stand. How do I do it? I worked hard. I started on Elance offering my services for cheap and built myself up. I'm now #208 out of more than 81,000 writers on the site, but it took a very long time (almost two years on the site) to get there.

I'm still struggling to make a living each month, but I am managing and have been working to do IM to build my own business rather than just doing work for others.

The bottom line and point I'm trying to make is that there is no easy living online or offline, especially if you just want a job (theoretically, those who are successful in building their own business online can have an easier life once they are successful, but again, you have to remember the 80 hour weeks that go into doing that and the fact that 95% don't succeed at it).

Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear, but it is the truth -- no one will just hand you a job. You have to work hard and build yourself up.

Another vote for Fiverr.com here, although if there were many jobs from home i'm sure most of us would be doing it, at least i know i would be.

Everything you do online is based on selling something, even when you sell your own services. There is too much competition, in all fields.

You can have a passive income by creating Squidoo lenses, but this is something that takes time. You have to create a lot of lenses in order to really make money with them.

Here is a lens that teaches you how to create many lenses:

http://www.squidoo.com/passive-income-website-traffic-squidoo-beginners-guide

Follow Squidoo’s rules, and create many quality lenses. This is a good way to start making some money online, without spending any money. However, it takes time. You also have to promote your lenses, to get traffic.

Until you can find something to make more money, I have a suggestion that will help you manage your money, and truly change your life forever.

Look up Dave Ramsey's course called Financial Peace University. Everyone one I know has been through the course and all have expressed how it has dramatically changed our lives, and it will yours too.

but is there like no here who ever actually found a wahm job to pay for extra things like hosting, etc?

Trying to make money online when you are desperate is going to be almost impossible. For me personally, nothing comes my way out of desperation.

If you are working full time then you really need to do some budgeting. Cut off and cut down on anything that you don't need to live right now. Start chopping your expenses down.

At the point when you get your income and expense situation under control, then pursue what ever you really want to do.

It will be much easier to make money online if you are not desperate.

Kea,

I'm writing a guide for Fiverr. There's lots out there already, but I have a highly creative mind so a lot of what I have in this guide is not out there. PM me and I'll share some of the ideas with you now.

Here's one idea for you today.

Are you willing to spend a few minutes to learn how to do a task on fiver that will take you a few minutes?

Learn how to clone and or move a blog from one server to the next. You can go to Youtube and learn how to do this for free. It is not hard. It will take you about 10 minutes or so to learn. However, it will only take you a few minutes to DO once you get it down.

Here's the THING...

A lot of people miss out on making money online because they are looking for the EASY no work methods. This is EASY. It is a LITTLE work. But it can lead to more work.

Okay, um... my husband is pestering me to go so Kea, PM me and I'll give you more things you can do on Fiverr. Or go to my website get my email and email me.

Toddles,
Chrisi

There is a method you can make money by doing nothing once you set it up which would be over $50/week.

No it doesn't require writing articles, setting up autoresponders, SEO, etc.. I don't use the method myself because of the amount of data usage it requires as im on mobile broadband but if you want the details pm me.

I hesitate to post this because I don't know anything about you, your interests, abilities, your integrity and so much more.

However, if you know anything about digital photography and have any idea as to what it takes to run a home-based business, then you might want to check out:

Be A Consultant

Maybe you should read this first:

http://www.creativememories.com/Cont...y/AboutUs.aspx

I am not in any way affiliated with this company. However, here in Canada I have a good friend who is making good money with this company.

It's not easy street by any means. Making money never is. But it's just one of many opportunities out there for someone who is willing to work and commit themselves to an offline business, and to some real work. There is nothing out there that is free an easy!

I presume, then, that you have tried this and can substantiate this claim?

This answer is not necessarily tied to Internet Marketing, but you can easily and cheaply set up your own answering service business. The best way to do this is to get a cheap VOIP service, likely an 800# that will only cost you anywhere from $10 / month up to about $50. Then, go out to the local businesses and offer your services. One client alone gets that investment back. Depending on volume and tasks, you should be able to handle 10 clients or more. You can even charge more for more complex tasks like research or analytics.

To be successful with an online business, you must treat it as a business. I am sure there are some Internet Based Jobs you can do, try elance or Fivver.
Learn Internet Marketing at an expert level and you can write your ticket for life. I sell Internet Education to Brick and Mortar businesses as well as Globally. The future is now, invest your time in learning, nothing is get rich quick...

Find something really cheap on tradebit with master resell rights, and resell it on fiverr. Made about $50 with one of those lately. Not big bucks or anything, but if you find enough $1.00 and resell for $5, you will be good

Well it takes time to build a online affiliate marketing business, a job offline maybe what you need. I am involved with a company, you can find out more in the link of my signature.... the only reason I am promoting this opportunity is not only for my benefit but also it will help people like you who are struggling to find something that requires no investment and can help everyone, businesses and consumers. no matter what you do hard work is going to be a factor, articles that take a hour,,, well thats what it takes.

Just make 2 affiliate sales per day and you'll get $50/day easily . I bet you know how to do it but you never did. It's your choice if you want to step out of the box.

I was at the local library branch today near my home. Even though the branch, which is located in northeastern Ontario, is small, there were plenty of quality books with advice on budgets, saving money, properly spending money, investing, etc. I would imagine that you also have access to downloading books online, too.

Basically, help is available from many sources. I know this from both a personal level and a business level. Bottom line is that the only way to achieve your goals is to actually begin walking the path and implementing a plan. Above all, don't become a perpetual student when it comes to the importance of this topic.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet -

Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You

You might find something there.

Hey man, start learning about affiliate marketing. But I think it means becoming an entrepreneur like most warriors here and not simply being in employment. With that said oDesk is great for online employment. So that's a wonderful place to begin.

Stick to one method and take Action. If failed after trying many times then search for another method

If its a real work you are looking for then go to Odesk but its certainly hard to get hired there. Too much competition especially for data entry type of jobs. Try to apply in less crowded areas like craigslist. Aw yes, maybe you can do buy and sell as well.

Andrea

If you are really struggling then my suggestion is to go out and look for a job that will keep you going first. Once you have settled then look for other streams of income online.

It takes time and energy to find the right niche and also on your ability and you will have to be in it for a long time before you see a decent income.

Follow other successful people.

1. Million Dollar Homepage
1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea for online business anyone could have possible come up with. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire.

2. SantaMail
Ok, how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer. Full Story

3. Doggles
Create goggles for dogs and sell them online? Boy, this IS the dumbest idea for a business. How in the world did they manage to become millionaires and have shops all over the world with that one? Beyond me.

4. LaserMonks
LaserMonks.com is a for-profit subsidiary of the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Spring Bank, an eight-monk monastery in the hills of Monroe County, 90 miles northwest of Madison. Yeah, real monks refilling your cartridges. Hallelujah! Their 2005 sales were $2.5 million! Praise the Lord. Full Story

5. AntennaBalls
You can’t sell antenna ball online. There is no way. And surely it wouldn’t make you rich. But this is exactly what Jason Wall did, and now he is now a millionaire. Full Story

6. FitDeck
Create a deck of cards featuring exercise routines, and sell it online for $18.95. Sounds like a disaster idea to me. But former Navy SEAL and fitness instructor Phil Black reported last year sales of $4.7 million. Surely beats what military pays.

7. PositivesDating.Com
How would you like to go on a date with an HIV positive person? Paul Graves and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone would, so they created a dating site for HIV positive folks last year. Projected 2006 sales are $110,000, and the two hope to have 50,000 members by their two-year mark.

8. Designer Diaper Bags
Christie Rein was tired of carrying diapers around in a freezer bag. The 34-year-old mother of three found herself constantly stuffing diapers for her infant son into freezer bags to keep them from getting scrunched up in her purse. Rein wanted something that was compact, sleek and stylish, so in November 2004, she sat down with her husband, Marcus, who helped her design a custom diaper bag that’s big enough to hold a travel pack of wipes and two to four diapers. With more than $180,000 in sales for 2005, Christie’s company, Diapees & Wipees, has bags in 22 different styles, available online and in 120 boutiques across the globe for $14.99.

9. PickyDomains
Hire another person to think of a cool domain name for you? No way people would pay for this. Actually, naming domain names for others turned out a thriving business, especially, when you make the entire process risk free. PickyDomains currently has a waiting list of people who want to PAY the service to come up with a snappy memorable domain name. PickyDomains is expected to hit six figures this year. Full Story

10. Lucky Wishbone Co.
Fake wishbones. Now, this stupid idea is just destined to flop. Who in the world needs FAKE PLASTIC wishbones? A lot of people, it turns out. Now producing 30,000 wishbones daily (they retail for 3 bucks a pop) Ken Ahroni, the company founder, expects 2006 sales to reach $1 million.

Anyway hope you can find what you're looking for my friends

It's rather difficult to provide any meaningful direction when you don't give us any indication as to your skill sets and what you've already tried.

So I am in the same boat as you Kea! Except I have two special needs kids and it's like impossible to just go out and find a job around my kids...so I hear you on trying to "find" extra money...and I'm kinda surprised at how many people keep mentioning a "Debt diet" because obviously if your phone's shut off and your hairs not done your probably already on a pretty tight budget...what else can you cut right? So anyways I hear you girlie!

Offer some services like writing or link building at Fiverr and Freelancer.

Thats right get a list of free lance websites and try them, but must give them proper time one by one.

Yeah the freelance sites have been real good for me. I personally use vWorker.com Where I have done over $300 this month alone and I just started. The trick is to find the odd jobs. The one's that pay $25 - $50.00 or so. Put in your bid these words. "Can start right now and will give you a positive review #10 Excellent when completed"

You have to make the client feel that you are giving them a deal they can't refuse. Don't go fo the $99 - 499 jobs just starting off. You won't get thm. You need o build up your job credits and feedback.

Good luck.

Work from home jobs are everywhere, but it's not always easy to get in. Demand Studios, Wisekeek and Love to Know hire writers to create content for $15 bucks or more per article. I just know of content companies, but I'm sure there are other REAL work from home jobs all over the place. However, some jobs are scams so you need to weed through them carefully. Don't ever pay money to work for someone.

Here's a little secret....find a popular, easy, and simple gig on fiverr, copypasta it to MultiTaskr, GigBucks, and Zeerk and charge $10-$15. When it sells, just go order on fiverr and pocket your cash for being the middle man. Works like a charm.

Surely this can't be a top priority join the club!

I think it has been around five years since my hair was done...

Have you tried ChaCha? I talk about it in my blog if you want to check it out there. It doesn't pay amazingly well, I made about $2-5/hr depending on how fast I was feeling that day. Basically, people text in answers and you choose the best answer from the list to make sure they get a correct answer. It is really simple work. I used to do it all of the time while watching movies.

You need to step back and first stabalize your money situation. See if you can at least borrow or make just a little more money so that you're not so stressed out. It's great to have your own internet at home. This way, you aren't limited to using free WIFI or limited by working only when your local coffee shop is open.

Then make a list of all the skills, special knowldege, training or talents you have.
From that list identify any skill, talent or specialized knowledge you may have that you could create an info product from. Think ebook or video course.
Once you've selected that, then do some research online and see if there's a market for it.
If so, you've hit pay dirt. That shows you that you have some information that people need and are willing to pay for.

You can easily write up a short report, ebook or guide that you can easily sell online.
If writing isn't your thing, you can create a video course.

Sometimes peolple are very surprised after doing this exercise to find out that they do know something or have some type of skill or training that can help others. Something that they can make money from.
