3 Legit Online Jobs to Jump­Start Your Work­From­ Home Profits Are you sick of the morning commute, sitting behind a desk for 8 hours a day, and the whole 9 to 5 work grind in general? If you are – and I definitely don’t blame you – how would you like to discover some legit online jobs that you could work at instead? I’m talking stay at home, make your own hours, work in your pajamas kind of online jobs. Sounds pretty great, right? I know you’re probably thinking, “How much money can I really make working online? And aren’t most Internet jobs scams?” To answer your first question, working at an online job is the same as any offline job; you get out of it what you put into it. If you’re a motivated, self­starter, then you can do very well working from home full­time. Some Internet marketers are able to pull in 6 figures a year (I wouldn’t count on that, especially not right away, but it absolutely is possible). And as far as your scam question goes, yes, scam jobs definitely do exist online so you have to proceed with a degree of caution. But, if you’re smart about your job selections, doing research beforehand, talking it over with other people, then you should be fine. Now, please allow me to share with you a few of my favorite online jobs so you can get an idea of whether this is truly an endeavor you’d like to pursue. Mechanical Turk and Elance These two websites are freelance marketplaces where people can browse a huge selection of job listings, which include tasks like blog writing, programming, and website designing to name a few. Then, the way it works is, once you find a job you think you’d be interested in, you make a job proposal and bid and wait to see if you are accepted. If you are, congrats! If not, shake it off; there are plenty of other jobs you can try. You won’t make a ton of money on Mechanical Turk and Elance, but they are great places to start if you need to get your foot in the door or want to get your hands on some quick cash. Also, don’t forget the power of connections. As you build relationships with other people in these marketplaces, those relationships can lead to more lucrative job opportunities.
