Finding the right work-at-home job or project takes time, but there are many ways to shorten the search. Here are three quick tips to help make your research more effective.
- Use good search terms. We've included 60 thought-starters here. These are self-executing links: Just click, and a Google search is done automatically. (Bear in mind that using "good" search terms won't guarantee that all results are legitimate. Because of the high scam ratio -- 58-to-1 this week on our home page Scam-o-Meter -- some bad apples will usually turn up, and you'll need to throw those away.)
- Check work-at-home forums for discussions of employers, jobs and scams. (For more on two forums we visit often, see Heather Schulte's recent article here, which also mentions us Rats.)
- Use tools like Whois Source and TinEye to check authenticity of websites. Many scam sites are created just before the scam is launched, and will feature bogus companies claiming to have been operating for years, with bios of executives thrown in for good measure. Whois, however, will often show that the domain was only recently created, and TinEye will show you where the executive photos -- or testimonial photos -- really came from. (Hint: Executive photos are often stolen from real company websites, and "testimonial" photos are often stock photography.)
There are many legitimate companies hiring home-based workers, and, properly "armed," you can find the one that fits your unique needs and personality best.
