In fact, that is probably why you're reading this article. Keep reading--you'll find information on where to look for certain types of jobs, as well as things to watch out for in your search for that perfect work-at-home job.

 

Small Jobs

 

Small jobs over the Internet include things such as survey taking and blogging. These jobs don't earn you much money, but they can be worth a few bucks here and there. Some survey websites will pay you to take their surveys, and they'll pay anywhere from two to twenty dollars per survey. It depends on the site and the survey itself. If you become a member of a site that pays you to take their surveys, you will be able to take them and get paid, but you might not receive them often. Maybe once or twice a  month but usually no more than this. As mentioned it really depends on the site. Blogging is the same.

 

Blogging over the Internet is a good way to earn a couple bucks every now and then, but the money usually isn't immediate. It's probably transferred to some kind of account that you have to set up online and from there is transferred to your bank account. If you wish, set up such an account and try out some paid survey and blogging sites that you feel are legitimate. If they pay, that's a little extra money for you. And everyone knows we could all use extra money! Finding online business opportunities like this involves going to any site that claims to pay for bloggers and survey takers. Lots of these opportunities are scams, but if you look, you'll end up with a site good for what they offer.

 

Temporary/Part Time Jobs

 

These jobs are usually doing things such as writing, editing and proofreading online. If you're a person who is good with grammar or editing, consider such a job online. If you find the right person or opportunity you can get some pretty good money. The best ways to find jobs such as these is to explore the Internet. Go on some local job sites and search for these types of jobs. Send resumes to several employers and you may have yourself a job. Send out several resumes though--the first one you send out more than likely won't cut it. These jobs tend to be a little more legitimate than blogging or survey taking, but there are still scams out there.

 

Large/Full Time Jobs

 

Jobs like this are usually working on the Internet for large online companies. Chat room or social websites,(ex. myspace.com) job sites (ex. craigslist.com), advertising sites, selling, buying and trading sites(ex.ebay.com), and others are where the real money is at online. You'll have to visit sites like these and find a way to contact someone that works with that site. Send them a resume and ask if there are any open positions for people who are looking to work from home. Some have open spots and some don't. It's all a matter of how much you look.
