Telecommute Work - The Best Location Online To Find A Telecommuting Job As Early As Today

CraigsList.org may very well be the best place for locating a true telecommuting job. They exist everywhere on this site. There's even a button you can press to filter out what jobs allow telecommute work. You'll find that many of the sites offering access to work at home job databases will contain opportunities that point to Craig's List job listings.

I have to tell you a quick story about the effectiveness of using Craig's List to find a telecommuting job. A relative of mine uses Craig's List to find legitimate work from home jobs all the time. It would always amaze me when I'd find out what she was doing for employment. And every time I'd ask how she found the job, she would tell me Craig's List. But there was one particular job that just took the cake.

Now most people would consider what I'm about to reveal to be the biggest scam on planet earth, even me. That's why when she said she was making a few hundred dollars every weekend stuffing envelopes I was floored. I had to learn more.

She said she was working for a local lawyer stuffing envelopes and handwriting the addresses on them and then mailing them out. And with that, it made all the sense in the world...all direct marketers know that if a letter has a handwritten address on it, it will always get opened. Kudos to that lawyer for being an excellent marketer. And kudos to my relative who found the job! Where? Well, on Craig's List of all places. And that's why you need to use it, too!

Top Tips on Finding a Telecommuting Opportunity Today

My first step into the work-at-home world was as a data extractor for a company in my local area. Believe it or not, I found that job in the Classified Ads section of the newspaper. That, however, was ten years ago. Alot has changed in the last ten years - the internet alone has grown by leaps and bounds. So, what are some of the best ways for people in today's market to find a telecommuting opportunity?

Classified Ads

One good thing about the technology available to us today is that most Classified Ads are now not only listed in print newspapers, but online as well. Take a look through these to see if there are businesses in your area looking for local at-home workers. Keep in mind that you must do your research on any company or opportunity that interests you. Check with your local BBB or other local organizations to make sure the companies are in good standing before you apply.

Online Job Sites

Most online job websites now offer telecommuting listings. Use the search term "telecommute" to help give you the best results. There are even websites that cater to the work-at-home crowd such as HireMyMom.com. Remember - always be sure to read the fine print, and research each company/opportunity that interests you.

Freelance

More and more at-home workers are freelancing on a contract basis. Writers, web designers, graphic artists, and more are finding this a viable option to allow them to work from home. There are websites, such as elance.com, that cater specifically to the freelance community and make it easy for freelancers to connect with companies and individuals looking to hire them.

Start A Business

Another trend among telecommuters is heading out on their own. For instance, the virtual assistant industry is made up of home-based freelances that have taken the data entry and executive assistant skills that they've gained over the years and launched their own Virtual Assistant (VA) services, copy-writing services and other such businesses. These "VA's" know how to serve their clients in a professional manner and yet have all the flexibility and freedom of working for themselves.

There are an amazing amount of resources for telecommuters today. These positions are in high demand, so be sure to polish your resume and tailor it to fit the type of work that you're searching for. Be persistent - it may take a while to locate the right opportunity, but it will be well worth the wait.
