Work at Home - it Can Be Done!

By: prochobo

Since I'm a full time college student with a part-time job, I'm naturally almost always needing some extra cash. However, I don't fancy low level retail jobs and I wanted to work when I wanted so I looked towards working at home. We've all seen the scams advertising $1,000+ a day or $20,000+ a month, but they're all scams. As a rule of thumb, if a work at home site asks you to pay any type of fee, they are a scam.

However, I've found a GREAT job working for SupportSpace. Basically, you are a work at home consultant for a variety of desktop tech support issues. You can charge your own rates per session or per minute and are free to work whenever you want. People needing help will contact you through SupportSpace and connect to you via a chat window. You can then troubleshoot over chat or call the customer. There's also a desktop sharing tool which makes troubleshooting MUCH easier since you can see what they are doing and fix the problem yourself. Currently, I'm making about $20 a call after SupportSpace gets their cut (25% of what you charge). It's not bad since most calls can be taken care of in about 20-30 minutes! M

Another option for some quick cash is to do referral offers. Yeah, I'm talking about the websites where you must complete a certain amount of offers/referrals in order to earn something cool like an iPhone or Xbox 360. YES, there are legit sites that do this. Trainn.org is among the most reputable with a large number of sites to sign up for. But how do you make cash instantly? Folks over at the Anything4Free Forums sign up for these offers. They then will need a certain number of referrals for them to reach their goal of an iPod, Xbox 360, PS3, or whatnot. Knowing this, the members will pay people for completing referrals. Usually it's in the area of $25-30 per credit (some offers are half a credit, some are a quarter credit). Some offers are free to complete and some require a small payment so you'll have to hunt for the easiest and cheapest offers to complete. As soon as you finish the offer and are given credit, the referrer will be notified who will then pay you, usually through Paypal. It's not a full time job, but it is an easy way to make a few bucks quickly.

A third option, reserved for the extremely desperate, are surveys. Like the offer sites, there are tons of scam survey sites. DO NOT SIGN UP IF THEY ASK YOU TO PAY! Typically, surveys usually pay anywhere from $.50 to $5 per survey. Catch is, even the short $.50 surveys seemingly take FOREVER to complete. Not only that, you must be within a certain audience, which can severely limit the amount of surveys available to you. However, if you have the patience, I've heard of people making hundreds of dollars a month, enough to pay the rent for me. Here are some proven, researched, and legitimate sites that I have tried in the past:
