Online Jobs

You could think about the skills that you have and think about how your skills could benefit a company. Many online jobs require typing at the computer - or having various computer skills. Some may require outside research while others may require use of a telephone.

Let's go over the different types of online jobs:

Customer service - This is when a company hires you to answer phone calls and / or email question. Normally you can choose from a block of time and you're paid by the hour. You need a head set and high speed internet, so you can access the companies pages fast in order to answer question inquiries.

Freelance Work - You can hire yourself out as a private contractor and type articles as a ghost writer. Or make graphics or design websites (if you have the skills). If you are good with editing you can be an editor. Or you can be a "maintenance person" where a site owner will hire you to maintenance the site - make link exchanges, add new pages, etc.

Ebay - Ebay is a wonderful way to put your toes in the water of the online retail world. There are many retail websites that do very well, and most are owned and run by someone who stays home. Ebay is a good way to test the market.

Website - You can start a website and you have several options here. You could do a retail website where you sell hard goods and ship them from your home. You can do a "drop-ship" site where you sell the items then turn around and have another website or business drop ship for you. Or you could do an information only website and earn money from affiliate income.

Helper - I have run across countless websites that are looking to outsource different aspects of their business. From answering phones via customer service, to order taking, to order fulfillment to webmaster duties, there's an abundance of opportunities if you wish to work for a web-business owner.

Whichever option you decide to choose to pursue you can find online jobs if you really want it. You need to be persistent - don't be afraid to email site owners offering your services. Look for the links that say "employment opportunities" at the bottoms of the pages. Many companies have these. Look at online classifieds and freelance websites for jobs posted, and post your own services.
