The fact that you read our website proves you have a PC and Internet access. So, as a person interested to get a home based job as a major income source or some extra cash to spend you should have a look at this currently popular type of home based job:

Forum Poster

The work does not require any particular skills. And at the moment you can easily spot many jobs open in this market. The entire process works like this:

- you find job openings (on the sites you will provide links to or after your own Internet research)
- you get approved after some simple sort of testing your skills (or: rejected. Then your next move – apply for another vacancy of a forum poster).

If you prefer active way to search for a job and avoid paying any middlemen you should look for the direct contacts with the websites that are in need of your forum posting services. The good place to start are popular webmaster sites. Make sure to follow new ‘forum posters needed’ ads here and here

Or if you prefer the passive way of job search (best way is to combine both methods) you can apply to some companies that offer forum posting services to be on their staff – they will contact you once they have a job for you (visit these websites to offer your services to forum post: www.forumlaunch.com; www.postonmyforum.com; www.crazoo.com)

- you get the volume of posts to make within a certain period of time
- you register (sometimes you get a few ID’s) and make the posts
- you get paid (by paypal or similar service, by money order, etc. – should discuss it before you start working)

That’s it. The process is slightly different from company to company, but you have got the idea now. Be careful and check the background of the company you are planning to join or forum you are going to post for – you do not want to make the posts for free. The only way (easy and fast) to check it – make an Internet search using the name of the website.

The payment is in the range of .10-.40$ per post: depends on the forum topic and other things. Not much? But do you know that sometimes the webmasters need 500-10 000 posts within one month?

Here is a sample of the currently valid ad – forum posters are wanted:

Photographers have every chance to enjoy the benefits of freelancing. Always on the go, always searching for new images and angles, they have every chance to grasp the beauty of the world around money and get paid for it.

So if you are a photographer that wants to work as freelancer, there are some websites filled with the information that you might find useful. As far as I understand it, advice number 1 that these resources are wishing to supply you with is how to take pictures that sell, meaning how to find the right niche for your talent.

http://www.ephotozine.com/freelance/ is full of tips, it contains articles about book photography, commissioned photography, on creating a portfolio, photographic magazines, image building, etc., etc. It offers reviews of the cutting-edge equipment and compares prices for it.

The range of equipment for discussing includes digital (digital cameras, flatbed scanners, editing software, inkjet printers), traditional (collectable cameras, spy cameras, panoramic models, medium format and large format, APS compacts), lenses and optical, flash and accessories, dark room and storing photographs.

The resource also contains reader portfolios and photos, a gallery, offers to enter photo competitions and introduces photo locations.

In the “Learn” section, there is a glossary, freelance, techniques, articles and many more. The website is a substantial resource and you might like to get familiar with it.

There are also BFP (Bureau of Freelance Photographers) courses. It is a home correspondence study the goal of which is to make you a successful photographer and seller of your goods. It consists of 18 lessons with special assignments that you are to send to your personal tutor.

They offer the course at about 45 pounds to the British and about 65 pounds sterling to photographers from other countries. Can be a good thing to start with and you can fill in the order form online.

Basically, a freelancer is a self-employed person working in a profession or trade where full-time employment is also common. As a rule, a freelancer works for several different companies or organizations rather than being directly employed by one.

Among the fields where freelancing is blooming and prospering are journalism, graphic and web design, writing articles and doing blogs, consulting and computer programming. By the way, sex workers are also freelancers. So historically, the working scheme has always been in place.

As any self-employment – both home-based and not – freelancing has a number of advantages, including no one controls you apart from your direct customers, a flexible schedule and a place of work that you can choose yourself.

One of the primary advantages that the freelancer can enjoy is a great variety of assignments that one cannot enjoy and experience in a regular job, which makes work exciting and fun.

It is worthwhile to note that with the development of Internet technologies the number of freelance web development jobs has mushroomed. And at present about 20% of web and graphic design and software development work are done by freelancers.

Very often freelancers are contacted and hired because their rates are much lower if compared to industrial standards (sometimes the gap amounts to 70 per cent!)

One of the drawbacks of freelancing, the main drawback actually, is that it provides no health insurance or offers no retirement pay. Freelance jobs are usually temporary, which creates an uncertainty of income.

However, freelancers who have a rich experience and built up a wide network of clients can become a bounty for employers. They can be offered a permanent job.

Some freelancers choose to sign written agreements when performing their work, some assignments are based on a verbal agreement. Some charge on an hourly basis, some per assignment. The main skill here is the ability to negotiate.
