Legit online jobs

[niki_the_tiger]

Hi, I have been searching for a legit online job... I am not looking to get rich. I just want to make some extra cash to help pay for some vet fees and other things that came up.

I know there has to be something out there... but it is so frustrating to sort through all the junk online.

My hubby makes enough to cover expenses, so I don't have to worry about that, but I would like to make an extra $200-300 a month. More if possible, but even that is enough.

Anybody find anything that is for real and not a scam?

THIER ARE a few work at home boards that list real jobs thier is also of course ebay

Do you know which boards they are?

I know Ebay is an option and I did try Ebay (still trying) but it's a very competitive market... I did just recently make my "$200-300" in just over a month on Ebay... but I also spent way too many hours working on it... so it didn't really cover my time.

I think this is legitimate, and its from Amazon.com. It depends on how fast a typist you are and whether you mind getting paid on amazon.com store credit. FWIW - here it is:

I took a quick look at this. Looking at just one of the available tasks: 12 hours is allotted, and the reward is $.75. That is a rate of about 6 cents an hour.

And that was the best one. For the others I could get 2 cents/hour, 1 cent/hour, or even 0 cents/hour. I think I'll pass. Or perhaps I'm missing something?

I have heard it said that many people make a living using a webcam at home .

Does anyone have any luck with Highest Pay Surveys?

Try craigslist.org

Do a search for "work at home" and then underneath that is a drop down menu. Choose "Jobs" When you get to that page click on telecommute. If you live in a big city there's more options available. It's worth taking a look at.

You ought to really work on selling the stuff on your "nook" - would think that would be the most profitable in the long run. How is that going?

Well, I started it but then everything was already set up on Ebay and so I gave up for my Ebay stuff, but this week or next I will be going shopping for more items to sell... and then I will work on my own website.

Unfortunately, I live in a small town, so not much option here. Not many jobs either (and the ones there are pay $7 an hour), which is why I would rather just work from home if possible.

I am a freelance writer, so I have been getting a little bit of income from that, and my goal for the new year is to have at least one assignment per month.

Thanks for all the input, I'll check things out in a minute. If anyone has more ideas, please continue to share them. I'm sure there's others who will appreciate them as well!

The one I did is $0.02 per hit... a hit can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on how hard it is. You have 60 minutes to do it before they hand it to someone else... it's not much, but it's addictive, and if you have time on your hands... (like I do). Thanks so much!

Oh and I think you CAN turn it into cash... not 100% sure though.
