How Can I Make Money Online?

Give yourself a pat on the back. Coming to us was the first step in making that happen. Making money on the Internet at home isn’t new, it’s not impossible, and there are thousands of ways to do it.

One important thing to keep in mind is that it takes just as much (if not more) work than a regular 9-5 job. Every day we get requests asking how to make money online; consider this an introduction to the options available.

What Would You Like to Do?

If you are like the majority of people and are looking for an online income but have little web experienced don’t worry! First off, you need to educate yourself as to what is out there and what you want to do. From data entry, to call center support, to completing online surveys, there are plenty of jobs and tasks available, even for those with little experience. Our forums are loaded with information, our job search engine has thousands of jobs and our employer database will connect you with employers looking to hire telecommuting workers. Plus, all of our services are free so there is no risk in getting started.

Match Your Interests to Your Qualifications

Certain professions provide exceptional opportunity to those seeking a home based position. Computer programming, Internet marketing, translation, and transcription positions are endless. If you’re in this boat, two sites worth signing up for are Elance and oDesk. A lot of the positions listed in our engine are project based, so the more proficient you become the more you can make, and the more jobs you complete, the stronger your online resume becomes.

Know What to Look for When Applying

WhyDoWork will not send out resumes for you. If you would like to apply to a position or contact an employer, you must apply externally through their site. Each site has its own application procedure. Be wary of potential employers asking for money to get started: you typically should not be required to pay to work.

Keep your resume current and up to date. If you are working through Elance or oDesk, make sure you do your best to collect positive reviews and ratings from your employers.
