How to begin Working from home

Working from home

Online Jobs, Quickly find jobs befitting your experience

Working from home is a reality that many people have not been able to come to terms with because the process is either diluted by spammers or con artists who direct unsuspecting users to websites that require fee for registration but offer no work once the unsuspecting user has paid the fee. In my search for online jobs I have come across many websites purporting to offer online jobs or work from home jobs as we know it. In one occasion I was directed by friend to a website offering similar online jobs. The site was well formatted with good introduction stating how one can begin earning immediately.

What made me suspicious though were two things that were obvious. Just below the introduction, there were two image thumbnail links, one for Paypal and another one for Safaricom Mpesa, when I clicked on the Paypal link because I have a paypal account, I was directed to a page where the owner of this website placed his mobile phone numbers and a short notice requesting the visitor to send 4000/= to that phone number in order to begin work. The other Mpesa Link also pointed to the same page.

Working from home requires that both parties have a clear means of payment. The mode, means and process for payment and who should pay who is critical to the point that you should not register with any website offering online jobs especially i) if the payment process is not clear, and ii) or worse if you are the one paying (There is no way as a job seeker you will be asked to pay every office you will be visiting in your search for work).

Astounding!! These kinds of websites are scattered around the internet and knowing who is who becomes difficult to the normal user, the fact being that true places where you can register and start work immediately are hidden and not always available through the normal Google search sometimes because these fake websites spam search engines to rank high in searches.

Apply for job

Once you are through with your account creation and profile, it is time to search the database for jobs of your interest. The database contains all kinds of Jobs you might want to do. After finding the job of your interest hit apply for this job button and fill in the application form. In the application form set the amount of money you would like to be paid for the job. As a contractor the client (the person you are applying to) always has his/her own payment estimation, this estimation sometimes is minimal compared to the work so don’t suggest to high or too low. Fill in the rest of the information required and hit apply. See sample of applicationletter (Cover letter). You copy and paste the sample and edit it accordingly.

Choose payment method

In order to withdraw your earnings you will need a viable mode of payment. There are five methods of payment

i)                    payoneer

ii)                   local wire transfer

iii)                 skrill

iv)                 paypal and

v)                  Automated Clearing House (ACH)

All of the above payment methods have their advantages and disadvantages In this article I’m going to cover only the 2^nd payment method since it is the most recommend method for non-US citizens.

The local wire transfer allows you to withdraw as low as $30 from your account to your local bank account in your local currency. The withdrawal fee is $3.99 per withdrawal. See how to use local wire transfer method
