REAL Online Jobs

11/16/2015

0 Comments

 
​Today's post is about legitimate online jobs. Notice I don't say 'businesses' or 'ways to make money': what I'm listing here are actual jobs were you have (usually) a single employer who pays you for a service. So that means no Fiverr, no affiliate marketing, no freelancing, and no product sales of any kind.
Before going any further, a quick warning:

Beware of scam sites like FamilyClix!

If something is too good to be true, it probably is. I recently found out about a site called FamilyClix that claims to pay users to click on adverts and perform referrals. I was looking at it from an advertisers perspective, which meant I looked at the prices more carefully: what I found was that the users were being paid slightly more per click than the advertisers were paying. That means negative cashflow to the website, which is a big red scam-alert flag.
​
Wanting investigate I eventually found this expose of FamilyClix and its sister sites as scams - the article is worth reading, but the short version is: the site owner bans accounts that are about to be paid to and frequently ends up being the winner of the monthly click contests.
The lesson - do the maths - and if something looks fishy, search for reputable reviews before wasting your time and/or money.
Websites that provide lists of scam sites exist, and are useful, but just because a site isn't listed doesn't make it legit. 

Online Jobs I've tried

Here are some of the online jobs I've tried myself, and which I can vouch for as being real paying positions.
  • Online tutor - InstaEdu. $20.00 an hour ($0.34 a minute). Requires academic knowledge, teaching abilities, and an entrance exam.
  • Spell checkers - Lionbridge. $11.30 an hour, requires that you reside in a certain country, and read their manual/s carefully. The job varies on what you get hired to do, but the general idea is you act as a crowd-sourced quality assurer.
  • Website and usability reviewer - Enrollapp - you'll need a microphone and an opinion. Pays +- $10 for a 20-30 minute review. there are several sites like this, but this is a good place to start.

Online Jobs I haven't tried

Below is a small sample set of full-time online jobs offerings that I haven't tried myself:
Aetna Life Insurance - http://www.aetna.com 
Allegiance Health Care- http://www.baxter.com 
AG Communication - http://www.agcs.com 
Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. - http://www.airproducts.com 
American Airlines - http://www.aa.com 

Those 5 links (and hundreds more) are from a site called Legit Online Jobs that sells this huge collection of jobs (both part-time, and full-time). I was sceptical about its value, but within a day I had made back my signup fee with payments from one of the sites they recommended using.
I can't legally reproduce the complete list of Jobs I found through Legit Online Jobs, but here is a small snippet of some of the job types they have listings for:
Clerical work, copy typing, reviewing, writing, data entry, survey completion, translation, and much more.

You've left out something!

If it's an actual job that I haven't included, please leave a message in the comments (if it isn't in the Legit Online Jobs listing I'll include it here). And like I said in the intro: Fiverr, Freelancer, product sales, and affiliate marketing don't belong in this post - I will instead cover them separately in posts about making money online as a freelancer, or creating passive income online.
