How to Find a Non-phone Work-at-home Job

Work from Home

Because of the Internet, companies can hire at-home employees to perform customer service, generate sales leads and responsiblities that require a person to converse over the phone. However, phone work is not for everybody. It takes a bit of digging to locate non-phone jobs, but they are out there. The following tips will help you locate these jobs.

Things You'll Need

• A computer
• The desire to work at home

Instructions

1. Sign up for work-at-home sites and forums, such as WAHM.com, Work Place Like Home and Rat Race Rebellion. These sites list various job types. WAHM.com's message boards lists many business opportunities, as well as jobs.

2. As you check out these sites, think about the type of job you would like and are capable of doing. Work-at-home jobs are available for freelance writers, virtual assistants, chat moderators, data entry, medical transcription, Internet research, as well as others.

3. Keep your eyes open to possible scams. General rules of thumb are to never pay for a job, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you are questioning a job's creditability, perform a search for the company in Google, check out any conversations about it on the message boards or begin your own thread and ask.

4. Apply to as many jobs that are of interest to you, but don't get discouraged if your application is declined. Companies get many applications from people just like you on a daily basis and they can only accept a certain amount.

Tips & Warnings

• Check out the listings on Craigslist. Try to locate more than one job to have at a time. Backups are always good when dealing with Internet-based jobs.

• Beware of scams!
