Hey there moms! Like I mentioned, having a home based job has helped me maintain a work-life balance. So if you are interested, here's where I'm getting my current source of income:
Registering is easy, create an account as a Contractor and complete your profile to gain access to thousands of online jobs. Find jobs with payment verified employers and with high feedback scores so you can be sure that you will get paid.
There are a lot of online jobs out there, but how sure are you that they are not scams? Here are some tips on How Not To Get Scammed When Looking for Online Jobs:
1. Always keep all transactions and communication within the job posting site's system. For instance, if you found the job on Odesk, use Odesk's system to communicate with your buyers. Never give out your personal email. Using the system means all your transactions are recorded within the system. That makes it easier to resolve disputes should any arise.
2. Never accept payment offers outside of the system. Job posting sites require the buyer to send the payment to the job posting site, not directly to you. The job posting site will then send you your payments via PayPal. This is the safest method for you, so keep within it. Never accept direct payments from the buyer to your PayPal. And never accept offers to pay via Western Union, unless you are sure the buyer can be trusted.
4. Realize that jobs should pay you, not the other way around. If the job requires you to pay them anything so that you can work, it's 99 percent guaranteed to be a scam.
Job applications in oDesk require your patience as these employers are carefully choosing their contractors, too. So it really helps to complete your profile and make sure that the information that you put in are true to the best of your knowledge. Good luck! :)
