How Real are Work-from-Home Jobs?

@yuj___ That's true! I hope you find something on those sites. Although they review each job, you'll have to pick and choose what will work for you.

@peavey There are thousands... my goodness!

@yuj___ If you want to have more client, choose the correct and right site, which is UpWork, I heard it has lots of clients looking for employee on Upwork than other sites.

It's difficult to find a client who will pay on time and of the right amount. Several years back, I had a taste of writing blogs for a website, and it didn't pay well so I went back to corporate. Yes, I'm looking for a client that will hire a VA (virtual assistant) similar to the offline EA or PA. I have this cable net that I don't exactly get to maximize its usage every month. It's just lying here and well, except for Netflix, which I'm really thankful for, I don't get my money's worth out of this cable net... So why not use it, right?

@tech40 I did sign up on that website, however, the clients are looking for Upwork-experienced freelancers and I don't have any milestones on that website. It looks promising, though since it has "empire" companies, real paying ones.

@yuj___ you read my mind. I have instructed adults and children in English, however, the one place offering is in Beijing and my work hours would begin at about 6:30 PM to about 9 PM which is not bad at all but this is the time when my cat Sid is hoping in and out and other things are going on which can be disruptive and I cannot stop lessons for that. I got as far as telling them that perhaps is things changed I might sign on in the new year. We will see. In the meantime, the fight for the passive income continues.

Plus the SEO work, right? with the white hat thing etc, etc. So much to consider. I'm looking at having like a virtual assistance gig, but I'm still checking out these websites. I'd have to agree with what you said about shelling out some money, attending an online course and that's expensive plus time consuming. We're looking for a work-at-home job that pays, yet it's asking for us to pay it first. Where's the income in that, right? Have you considered teaching ESL?

@RasmaSandra Oh, you have a cat! Will you let me see a picture of Sid?

please suggest me some good sites that really pays

@Raj7779 what's your interest ? Like Surveys or writing ?

I'm leaning towards becoming a virtual assistant or a live chat rep... There are tons of websites, but to get in, I'd have to either reside in the US or I have experience working on livechat platforms that are currently in use on websites. Time to update my skill set!

@yuj___ I think it's good to work online if there is no normal job. I heard people open stores online. I'm selling clothes to several sites.

@Moon24 Wow! Talk about multiple avenues to reel in revenue. Good job! I'm amazed

I think so, too. However, there is a significant movement from offline work to online work these past months since e-commerce is alive yet again. I'm thinking of opening a small store offline, while I have this online work that I can do let's say 2-3 hours a day. That's not bad..

@yuj___ i mean skill

@nawala123 True. Data entry can really be boring to do, but with the right skill set, it could be done fast.

What kind of preparation? Certifications?

I hope so, too.

Interesting career profile there! Good on you!

A lot of the writing sites have high minimum payouts so it's hard to earn from them.

@yuj___ I'm still looking for the legit site for now.

What have you gotten so far? Do you have an online job now?

@yuj___ thats great to hear

I'm enjoying myLot, the people here are very helpful and responsive! Thank you

@yuj___ Major bummer...

That's the thing... I tried to tell people about it, but my post got well, deleted. I think the system thinks I'm recruiting. That could be the effect, but that wasn't what I had in mind. It was more of proving that there are legit work from home jobs that we can land.

Yes, time management is essential... I can't be bothered by these social media apps while I'm working. They're so tempting!

I found tons!
