Well now that the list is done , let's go through each one in detail
1) Data Entry Jobs : Data Entry jobs are mainly for those poeple who have good typing speed, and you should be willing to work hard, since it is a tough job. Basic data entry jobs may be to simply convert data in the form of image files into documents, mainly in a word pad format, and send it back to the company. Medical transcription is a much more advanced form of data entry, and you have to be well versed in medical terminology, after all someones life may depend on what you type. Also included in this is newscaster typing, and in this you have to be up to date with whats happening in the world.
Next is online forms filling, some companies do not wish employ extra employees to fill up data into various fields of forms, so they hire temporary workers online to do the job for them, this is mainly done through a mediator network. Many legit jobs are available in this field, the companies will not ask you for money, but may require you to take a test to prove how good you are. Believe me this is a hard job : (
You will be given a tape, which contains an conversation recorded during a interactive survey, or a diagnosis given by a doctor, and you will have to type the entire conversation, without missing detail. But do not worry, there are several softwares, and other equipment available using which you can slow down the tape, and rewind again and again. You might have to buy these, if you are serious about a job as a medical transcriptionist.
2) Website content writing : Are you good at writing? Can you write an article that will interest readers? Can you write good content for websites, then this job is for you. The main qualification is excellent grammatical skill, and good writing skill, there are many websites that will pay you good money for this, and it's free to join.
3) Online surveys : Now this is my favorite, since i like doing surveys. One simple advice, you have to remember is, if the site requires you to pay anything, it is definitely not legitimate. No legitimate survey company will ask you for money, all they want is you opinion. If you do this nicely, and join the good sites i recommend, you could easily earn a $100, for only an hour or two of work. Another good thing is, most of these sites also ask for product evaluation if you are seen as a good panelist. So, you will be able to try new products, and be actually paid for it. Isn't that great!! I will give you the list of survey companies, and my personal reviews of them later.
Next in this are the offer sites, these are sites disguised as survey sites, but mainly give you offers through which you can earn money. You might have to use your credit card to complete these offers. Now i am not saying that these sites are frauds, since most of them are legal and give prompt payments, along with giving you surveys to complete from time to time. But your main income from them will be through completing offers. Another main thing you have to know, about surveys is that the time taken to make payments differ from site to site. Some companies pay through paypal, and you may be credited in 2 or 3 days, but others pay through check, and it might take 4 to 6 weeks before you get paid.
But on the bright side you can earn more from offer sites, some sites like cash lagoon, cash crate, and treasure trooper are my favourites , since they pay you well, and also since they give a brief description of how you should complete an offer. For ex, some offers may require you to merely submit an E-mail address, while others may require you to complete the offer completely.But always remember that you shouldn't do too many offers at once, since you might not be credited for them. It would be best if you use an seperate E-mail id, mainly gmail to sign up for these offers, and also keep an record if possible of any trial offers that you join.
4) Online Projects : Many companies also give projects to freelancers, so if you know photoshop, web designing, or animation, this could be your thing. Most often, the no of jobs you can get is determined by the amount of fees you demand, and also upon your previous project handling as a freelancer. But you will mostly have to go through a mediator, who will charge a percentage for giving you the project.
5) Ad revenue : Now i am sure i will not have to explain this, because every one knows about google ad sense, and everything. All you have to do is build a blog or a website, fill it with good content, and companies will pay you to place their ads on your site. First you have to find a free hosting website, create your own site using the tools provided, and make it as attractive as possible. All you have to know is a bit of Html and the knowledge to bring traffic to your site. You can sit back and relax, as money comes rolling in from the ads displayed on your site.
6) Selling products online : What better place to sell your products, than on ebay? You can find a buyer for even those things that you find worthless, because someone else might find it fascinating. You can make a great deal of money on ebay, if you know how to play it right. You can buy things at a cheaper price, and sell them at a good profit. You can also sell products for other companies, and earn a commission for them.
7) Paid to click and surf : Many sites offer you money to click on their ads, and surf the web using their web sites. Do not expect much money from these sites, since the payment will be measly, it's just something you do when you are free, and a way to earn for doing something that you do every day, that is search the web.
8) Forex trading : Forex trading is more like investing in shares, than an online job. What you basically do in this is bid your money over a foreign currency, and hope it increases in economical value . What you need to is good knowledge of foriegn exchange trading, and consistently monitor the fluctuations in economical prospect of currencies of different countries. In this business your returns may be great, but so might your losses. Most scams online are for forex trading, rebate processing, and MLM marketing.
But, even though the company might be genuine you should keep in mind that the market is very very volatile, and can change at any time.Never deposit money that you need, since you might have better luck at the races than in forex trading. And if you are a natural worrier, you should definitely not try it. Believe me, when you see the graph spiralling down, your B.P will begin to rise.
Note: If you are in doubt about a company, first google it before making a payment, you might find more than you bargained for.
9) Mystery shoppers and product testing : Mystery shoppers are employed mainly by shopping malls, hotels etc, to obtain feedback about their employees and customer service. Again there are plenty of scams in this, asking you to pay upfront money, promising you that you will be shopping freely in malls, and resting in large beach resorts. But all that is CRAP!! No real company will ask you to pay money upfront, PERIOD!!
Last is product testing, i placed this separately from surveys, since here i am talking about medical research. You will be selected by a medical research team based upon your qualification, to test new medicines that the company had developed. Medical research pays well, but then again it can also be very risky.
So, now that's done. If you want further info, and full listings of all jobs,you can visit my blog where you can get all this info FREE!!
