(23,555 posts)I just got done testing them and they are all good. I looked for work from home in 2000, and was grateful to get a good-paying job that I stayed with for 9 years. I left so I could babysit my first grandchild and then the next. I kept the sites and updated it over the years, have passed it out if someone is looking for work. Just remember, like all jobs, you shouldn't have to pay a fee to get hired. Or buy your own equipment. GOOD LUCK!
There is a variety of employment, so I hope you can find something interesting. At the bottom of the list are some that I got from a magazine last year. ESL tutoring sounded interesting. I've been an AFS volunteer for over 20 years, and have so enjoyed meeting people from other countries. I thought I'd like to try that one, but didn't get to this last year. Good luck on your hunt:

These are links from a recent Redbook magazine. I liked some of the ideas for myself, but I am already selling on eBay and dont want to do more:
Try: Customer service or direct sales. With call centers moving back stateside, many companies are hiring home workers, who work shifts as short as three or four hours. Agencies like ContractWorld, Sutherland Global, Convergys, and Arise hire for big retailers.
Try: Dog-sitting. After interviews and reference checks, you can list yourself on rover.com or dogvacay.com, both of which match pet owners with sitters or host families.
Try: Freelance business consulting. Hourlynerd.com matches up high-profile companies with independent business consultants on a per-project basis.
Try: Online-juror case reviews. To prep for trial, attorneys use services like onlineverdict.com and ejury.com to run their cases by mock jurors, who get paid. It's like making money watching Law & Order!
Try: ESL tutoring. You don't need a teaching degree to tutor English as a second language to students via video chat. Try cambly.com or wetutorenglish.com
Try: Digital earning task apps and sites. Make extra cash while going about your regular shopping. An app called EasyShift asks you to complete micro-tasks while in a store, such as verifying a product is in stock. Sites like Swagbucks https://www.swagbucks.com/ also offer payouts for taking surveys, watching videos, and shopping online.
Try: On-demand delivery. Turn your minivan into a cash-mobile. Through roadie.com, you can book local or interstate delivery jobs.
