Tired of taking endless surveys for peanuts or clicking on hundreds of websites—and picking up whatever viruses and spyware they might contain—for a few measly cents? Don’t despair. Real online work is available if you know where to look for it.
Freelance Sites
Whether you’re an artist, a writer, or a computer programmer, you can find real online work on freelance sites dedicated to your profession. Some sites such as Get a Freelancer have content producers bid against each other for assignments. Others such as FreelanceWriting.com merely list available jobs. The catch? Most of these jobs—the real ones, anyway—won’t make your rich overnight. In fact when you’re just starting out, the pay may be downright dismal. But you will earn something for your work, and better yet, you’ll gain valuable experience.
Your Own Web Site
Once you’ve established a reputation as a reliable content producer in the online community, you may not have to look so hard for real online work. Instead, you can build a website featuring your best efforts, market it in the appropriate places, and let the work come to you.
Probably the hardest part of website ownership is marketing, because not only do your marketing materials have to showcase you at your best, they have to reach the people with the power to hire you. Ways to market your website to bring real online work to you include targeted emails (not spam!), appropriate posts in forums, and articles about your specialty with a link back to your website.
So forget about the dead end online jobs and scams. With a little imagination, grit and determination, real online work is just a click or two away.
