How finding a work at home job is now easier?

Ryan H  in California  used to make $30,000 a year as a preschool music teacher. Now he makes $30,000 a month producing jingles and videos through a website called Fiverr — and he does so from the comfort of his home.


Heenan is part of an explosion in home-based work opportunities occurring thanks to the Internet. Consumer reporters such as myself used to struggle to offer people legitimate work-from-home options. In fact, most of our stories on the subject were about work-from-home scams. But now there are all sorts of solid opportunities to make a living in your pajamas.

Websites that connect workers with clients are the game-changer. For example, on Fiverr, ­Heenan’s venue of choice, freelancers list their services — many starting at just $5 — for companies to browse. On FlexJobs, companies list jobs for freelancers to consider. FlexJobs charges a monthly fee of $15 for membership, or $50 for a year. Fiverr takes a 20 percent commission on earnings. Both sites cater to a wide variety of professionals, but Fiverr seems to attract creatives such as graphic designers, writers and videographers. FlexJobs’ list of categories includes more technical options, such as accounting, project management and engineering.


There are also many niche employment websites that focus on a single type of home-based work. Many hire freelancers; Others are looking for home-based employees. Some even offer benefits like healthcare coverage and paid vacation. Here are several worth checking out. Just be sure to check with the Better Business Bureau and other consumer organizations before working with a site, as their reputations can change over time.
