text: *sighs* Real online jobs from home? This is a very good question, and the answer is real simple. The hard part is to find real opportunities. I did found some places that will help you find a for-real online job.\n\nFirst, search Craigslist and search for jobs under "Telecommuting". This way, only telecommuting jobs shows up. \n\nYou can also visit the other web sites I will list below. These websites will help you understand how to search for a job better.\n\nMy third suggestion? Be your own business! Market your skills for hire to companies. For example, if you are a writer, you can market your writings to magazines who are always looking for contributors. The best thing to do is to take a Learning Annex class that focus on marketing and developing yourself so you can work from home as a freelancer. If you don't live close to a Learning Annex, they have online classes that you can learn from. \n\nDon't be afraid to invest in yourself...\n\n... just make sure you don't invest money in looking for a connection. That's a waste of money and time.\n\nAnother bit of advice: check with the Better Business Beauru. But keep in mind: not all businesses registers with the BBB. I work with a client who have to pay a lot of money not only to get into the BBB, but it seems they want to make money from every angle, like if you have a website, you can't say you are a member of the BBB unless you register to be an online rep... even if you are not selling online.\n\nGood luck!
