You don’t want a job. You want money, and you want to stay at home. Right? So paying to get work goes against this purpose. However, even if you find good home based jobs without investment, it matters which ones you pick.
A lot of people will offer you jobs, you can perform online. If you can write blog posts or comments, or forum posts or comments, you can get a job.
Alternatively, if you’re able to use scripting languages like PHP or ASP, you can make a nice income with your abilities.
Even taking pictures, or creating graphics, can lead to an online assignment.
To find these jobs, you can join sites like Elance or Guru.
Another online job is data entry. The customer sends you a recording, and you type it out for him. Nice and easy work, if you’re a fast typist.
And you can make as much as $10 per hour that way. Woah, this will soon make you rich, right?
Nah, wrong, obviously.
Luckily, there are other and better home based jobs without investment. You just have to create the job yourself and be your own employer. And it’s not as hard as you may think.
A couple of weeks ago, I spend five minutes writing an email, and it made me 1,565.70 dollars during the following 24 hours. In working time that converts to an hourly pay of 18,788, and even if you divide the amount by 24, during which hours I didn’t work, it’s still more than $65 per hour.
Not bad for not working, would you agree?
This was possible, because I became my own boss many years ago, and since I was curious and wanted to try all the new things and possibilities on the Internet, I started growing my business online.
Obviously, I don’t make that kind of money everyday. After all, I’m the only employee in my company, and I want to do other things than business, too. However, even on my day off, I make at least $70, and it all adds up in the end of the month.
You can do the same. Of course, if you want to avoid all the trial and error, I’ve done, because there were no books about the subject back then, you need some guidance. Even so, it’s easy to find nowadays. So you should be able to create your own home based jobs without investment.

Yasir Wazir asked:
Have you ever wanted to have a part time job? In case you do; then I suggest you read this article. It is possible that you will find the part time job that you are looking for. Now I will tell you some thing about myself. I am a professional Doctor and I work in a Private hospital (a big one). My salary is about $4000 a month but I wanted to earn more. So how can I do a part time job when I have to spend almost 10 hours in the hospital? Well this is a good question. There is no way that I can do another job. So is there any solution? Yes, there is. Few years back a friend of mine told me about Online freelancing Jobs. I just hated to hear such thing because it sounded so cheap. My friend suggested me to try it but I never did.
A year ago, I needed some money to buy a new car but I was unable to do so. At that time, I just thought for a second about that freelancing work. I wondered if I can really make some money at freelancing sites. So I decided to give it a try. I already had a personal Laptop all the time in the hospital and there was high speed internet available all the time at the hospital. At my first day, I joined one freelancing site and tried to get work, but no luck. Then a week passed and still no luck at all. Then I decided to do some research about how to get work and I also decided to plan for the freelancing work future.
First of all, I was not doing few very basic things which were very important to be done. Secondly, I was offering to do work for very high rates. So for the first problem, I found an Online Jobs guide which helped me understand what I had to do at the freelancing site. The guide explained everything about how to get work at these sites. I solved the second problem by just lowering the rates that I was offering, actually I lowered the rates a little too much and that is why I started to get work.
The basic concept of freelancing sites is that a buyer (who wants some work to be done) open up a Project offering a job to any freelancer who is interested. All these projects appear on the site. Now freelancers who can do this project read it and then place a bid on the project if they are interested in doing it. So there are many freelancers bidding on the same project. There are few factors that play an important role for the buyer or the creator of the project to choose the winning bidder. Here are few of them:
1. Buyers communicate with all or maybe few of the bidders via communication system in the site. By such communication, buyers try to judge the abilities of the freelancer and they try to figure out whether or not, the particular freelancer is suitable for the Job. A high percentage of buyers choose a freelancer based on the communication results, so this factor is very important one.
2. All freelancers have a Rating or feedback. This is the Rank given by the buyers on the site to the freelancers who had worked for them. This means, when ever a buyer chooses a freelancer and the freelancer completes the work for which the buyer hired him; after the completion the buyer pays the freelancer and then give a feedback to the freelancer. For example, if the buyer is very happy with the work that the freelancer did, then it is possible that the buyer will give 10 out of 10. Or in opposite case a 1 out of 10. When freelancers place a bid on a project, the buyer, and every one else too, can see the ratings of all the freelancers who placed the bid. So the buyer can make a decision on the fact that which freelancer has the best ratings.
3. The third but the most important factor of all is the amount of money that you are placing in your bid for a particular project. For example, suppose there is a project with a budget range of $100-$300, and there are 10 freelancers that have placed bids on this project. A freelancer with 50 ratings, and all ratings are 10 out of 10, has placed a maximum bid of $300 and all others have placed some amount above $100. All other freelancers placed a bid above $100. You are new at this site and you have no ratings, what will you do? How much amount you will put in your bid? $300 or $100? Of course $100, which is the minimum. This is the only way to get this project. You can’t get it if you place a bid of $300, No way, its impossible.
So when I started the work I was not doing anything mentioned above and that is the reason why I never got any project until I realized that some thing is wrong. So, the factor 1 and 3 are important for all the new bees. For the factor 2, the new bees can’t do any thing as you will only get ratings when you will complete any project.
In few days, I got my first project. Actually it was only a 40 dollars project, but you can’t believe how happy I was when I got it. I completed it in a day during the free time I got at the hospital. I received my first payment and most importantly I got my first rating which was 10 out of 10.
After that, things went on nice for few days, by the time when I got my 10th rating; I was making $500 in a month which is not very bad. But I had a feeling that some thing is missing or something that can make things easier for me. Actually, for the $500 that I was making in a month, I was working too hard and doing 2 jobs at the same time, it’s a bit difficult. So I started to think of any solution that can make things easier. Then one day, I read an Online Jobs guide that made things much easier for me. And now I am making $1000 a month and I don’t have to do the hard work, I just do work for no more than an hour and I get my $1000 each month. All you need if a little experience and when you get it, everything goes easier for you.
There are many jobs that person can do. There are software testing jobs, programming jobs, making websites, promoting websites and much more but the two jobs that every body can do are Copywriting and Data entry (Data entry; Do it only to get some ratings). Copywriting is the online job that can produce 1000 dollars in a month. You can work at home or do it in free time you have during your full time job, or do it as a part time job. Freelancing jobs are getting popular these days. Many people are even doing it as a full time job. Its popularity secret is that you are your own boss and that you can do it when ever you want to and you can do it while sitting in front of your PC at your own home.
Jana Kae asked:
So how hard is it to have a successful bookkeeping business from your home?
It is simple really.
Most small business owners cannot afford a full time accountant and they really don’t need one. Many of them simply need a bookkeeper to keep track of their day to day operations so they can tell where they are financially and stay out of trouble with the IRS.
My clients drop off their receipts, their sales and income records, their bank statements and bank register (which lists deposits, withdrawals, checks, etc) at my home office. Then I organize the information into monthly statements and information for yearly tax requirements. The monthly reports explain to my clients how healthy their businesses are functioning so they can make decisions to improve their bottom lines and become more profitable.
Many of my clients needed my services for 5-15 hours per month. When I first started my business, it only took 5 clients for me to be able to replace my full time job income and transition to working from the comfort of my home.
Bottom line – there is great demand for home based small business bookkeepers. The business owners want to focus on their business – not on their darn bookkeeping. And because all small business must have organized records to be able to file their taxes every year – they need us!
There are so many small businesses out there that need bookkeeping help – the field is wide open for freelance bookkeepers who want to work from home.
Samuel Austin asked:
Do you have a great knowledge of the English language? If you do there is a good chance that you could be making a lot of money typing from home. Everyday thousands of manuscripts get sent out to publishing houses. They are all sent with the hope of becoming the next bestselling novel. In order to get attention and considered these manuscripts have to be in perfect condition. Most writers do not sit down with the goal of perfect grammar and punctuation. When the creative juices are flowing you do not want to stop them by spell checking every five minutes.
There are online sites like Elance that allow you to offer your editing services, to people that are looking for them. You go on these sites and you decide what the smallest price you would do the work for would be. Then you enter it as a bid. If you get selected than you talk to the person that you are working for and discuss the terms. Then it will be your job to complete the project on time. Once you do that you will receive a feedback rating. The better the rating the more money you can make.
You have to make sure that you have a good eye for detail when you work in the editing business. It may be easier for you to just restart the manuscript and typing as you read it. This way you can be sure that you are not missing anything. You have a great responsibility on your shoulder. It is your work that could be the deciding factor on whether or not your client’s book gets published.
