The Best Work From Home Jobs For Moms and Students

If you are looking for the best work from home jobs, then you have come to the right place. I have been working from home for the last few years, and have tried out several ways to make money. I will share some of my advice and go over the most common types of jobs for stay at home moms (or students, or anyone else wanting to work from home).

Why would you want to work from home? Perhaps you are a mother who wants to earn some money but can't leave your kids to get a job. Or maybe you were a college student like me trying to earn some money, but didn't have enough time for a regular job. Either way, there are many options out there, but you need to be careful and avoid scams. Here are the most common ideas that you will find online:

• eBay/Craigslist- If you have anything that you don't want anymore, but someone else might want, then you can sell your old stuff on eBay or Craigslist. Depending on what you sell, you can make some fast money here and there doing this.
• Data Entry- This is one of the most common scams out there targeting people looking for work from home jobs. You pay to join a site and become a data entry worker, but then you don't get any work and therefore don't get paid.
• Make Money With Google- There are lots of sites that have a free "make $500 a day working for Google" program...just pay for shipping and handling. These are scams that get your credit card info when you pay for shipping, and then start to charge you a lot of money each month. These are scams and are not actually associated with Google, so avoid them.
• Google AdSense- This is a legitimate way to make money with Google. You can start writing a free blog and then put ads from a free program called AdSense on your site. When someone clicks on your ads, you will get paid. Each click is not worth much, but if you get a lot of clicks it all adds up.
• Online Surveys- These are another common choice. You get paid to take short surveys, which is really easy. However, you have to qualify for many surveys, and they usually don't pay too well. But if you are just looking for a little cash each month, then join some free survey sites and give it a try.
• Affiliate Marketing- If you have a little more spare time, then give internet marketing a try. You make simple blogs and write short articles (even shorter than this one) about products. It is basically online advertising and you can get paid big commissions. It is actually not very hard, but it takes some time each day.

You can see that there are lots of choices available, but the best work from home jobs actually are "jobs" in the sense that they do require some time and effort. Just make sure to do a little research, avoid the scams that are out there, and find the option that works best for you. If you don't have much spare time and just want a little extra cash, then I recommend trying online surveys. But if you have some free time each day, then try to learn more about affiliate marketing because it can really pay well.
