I've been in this industry for many years and as such I tend to get the same questions every day. The questions range from needing help finding legitimate work at home jobs, what to do if one has been scammed or trying to assess if a company, person or website is a scam. These questions are fairly easy to answer because I've already created resources to address them all. For jobs it's just a matter of visiting my work at home companies page, our new work at home job search engine. my other website WorkAtHomeCareers. com or an membership based site such as HomeJobStop. com. In regards to work at home scams, it's just a matter of watching my scam video. reading the articles and comments listed in my scam section and visiting some other great scam fighting websites. (Hint, Hint! lol)
Stumped….
However there has always been one question that even I have trouble answering:
How can I make money as fast as possible without paying any fees?
Ever since the downturn of the economy I've received this question far greater times than I did in the past. The stories that lead to this question are heart breaking. It's usually a result of hardships such as sickness, accidents or layoffs. I can't tell you how much many of these personal experiences have touched me. It was extremely frustrating that I didn't have an answer to give. So I finally decided to stop feeling bad and to do something about it.
I went ahead and put my research skills to use and I've complied a list of opportunities that should help people who need money quickly and fairly easily without any upfront cost. I've read other list claiming to have solutions. But upon further inspection, most of the opportunities suggested wouldn't get money in folks hands until a month or two after the fact which may be too late for some. So keep this in mind as you read my list. Because I'm sure folks are going to wonder or comment why didn't I include x y and z.
Another thing I should mention is that some of these opportunities may make you feel uncomfortable. That's perfectly fine. As always you're a grown ass adult and can pick and choose the opportunities that fit your comfort level. My job is to provide all options regardless of how I may feel about them on a personal level. And your job is to pick what you like and ignore what you don't. So please keep that in mind as well before you go and judge a brother. You know who you are. lol
Okay now that's all cleared up, let's get into the list.
1. Quick Task Sites
These type of sites are based on the concept that there are still many online tasks or jobs that cannot be done by machines, robots, do hickies, Thing-A-Majigs, etc. Whether it's researching detailed information, transcribing audio or video recordings, picking out objects in photographs or videos, typing, data entry or writing content, some jobs are still just better done by humans. Thank God for that otherwise I would be out of a job and so would many of you. Because of this reality there are sites that connect workers like yourself with companies that need these human based tasks done. Any of you who have worked for Amazon's MTurk know this all too well. Although Amazon Turk is the biggest and best, there are a few more out there which I've listed below in addition to Mturk. Judging by many of the comments and emails I have received about Mturk over the last year or so, folks are doing very well with it. It seems to be a favorite consistent among many of you. So I'm sure you'll welcome some additional options like it.
Crowdcloud (I receive money from these guys every day! So it can be consistent money if they have enough work to go around.)
2. Freelance Sites
They're very much like quick task sites but pay more and have a lot more different jobs in various industries. However the advantages of getting paid as soon as a task is completed is still present. So no matter what your skill set may be there is probably a job at a freelance site.
