With the economy in turmoil and millions of people losing their jobs, more and more people are turning to the internet to try and create sources of supplemental income. For those single Moms that are just trying to pay the rent and put food on the table, the prospect of making money online can be an enticing one. Many companies have decided to eliminate office and cubicle jobs and simply hire people who are willing to telecommute.
If this type of job interests you, you should know that it can be tough working from home. There are factors that can wreak havoc on your home life when you add a work at home job into the mix. The first thing you will need to do is create your own work space that is free of kids crying, dogs barking and background noises such as radios or televisions. The last thing employers want from their telecommuting employees is distracting background noise that lets a customer know that you are working from your home. When an employer hires someone to work at home, they don’t want to eliminate the feeling of a professional workspace. The best thing to do would be to instruct your family to leave you alone during work hours and allow you to complete your required tasks. If you can follow these rules then it is very possible to work at home and make money online.
You can find work at home jobs by searching websites like Craigslist and Indeed with the search terms “work at home” or “telecommute”, but beware – many work at home jobs are scams that you want to avoid at all costs. Always find out what a job entails and get the contact info for the person that is hiring you, also get the company address and name and do a search on the Better Business Bureau’s website for any negative history.
If you don’t feel you have the time at home to commit to a full time job, there are other legitimate ways to make money online and supplement your income. You won’t get rich from these sources of income, but they can help you pay the bills. There are actually a few websites where you can start making money online almost immediately. By completing simple trial offers, surveys or freebie offers on various websites – you can earn cash quickly. Most of these websites pay via PayPal withing 24 to 48 hours. You won't get rich from these websites, but you can make between $15 and $40 per hour in your spare time. These days, any source of extra income can be a big help!
