Earning Money Online

          With the high rate of unemployment, more and more workers are looking for non-traditional ways to make a living or earn extra cash. While working at home, using your computer and Internet access was once seen as a non-traditional form of employment, more and more people are earning their income by working online. I am one of those people.
          Three years ago, I was an active real estate agent, working with my husband selling residential and commercial properties in Arizona. When the economy took a dive, we realized it was not practical for us both to rely on one industry, especially one that is solely commission. I naturally turned to my first love, writing, and focused on the websites I had already established.
          About a year ago, I held several local classes to help some friends and acquaintances learn different ways in which they could generate online income. When preparing the class, I assembled a collection of links, most of which are included on this section of the Robeth site.
          Depending on your skills and personal interests, you may find an opportunity ideal for your situation. There are income-earning possibilities for customer care workers, writers, photographers, transcribers, educators, crafters, online shopkeepers, secret shoppers, artists and more. Some of the sites offer employment; others contract with freelancers while some provide a platform for the entrepreneur.
          Today I updated the links, removing those that are outdated. I also made an effort to remove sites that simply listed links to other websites. It is possible I missed a few. The remaining links are resources and not endorsed by me, or by Robeth Publishing, LLC. Please do your due diligence when investigating any of the potential opportunities listed on these pages.
          Two websites I recommend are WAHM and WorkPlaceLikeHome. By visiting their forums, you can read about the experiences other people have had with the various websites.
          Good luck, I hope you find something useful.
