Craiglist - the work from home dream

The best work from home jobs are found on Craigslist and no this is not a scam. There’s no sign up required and the only investment is a little bit of your time. What I mean is, you post the ad rather than replying to an ad. That’s right, you aren’t answering an ad for a job, you’re creating an ad for a job. Here’s how it works and it can work very well.

First, ssk yourself, ‘what am I good at doing, that I like to do’. Then, ask yourself, ‘what would be your ideal work from home job‘. What do you want to be doing for your work at home job, that’s the job you will probably be best at doing? Then, the last truth, ask yourself, ‘am I any good at it’. If you’re not good at what you want to do, then choose something you are good at. It’s really that easy. There’s almost no service that you can offer than someone isn’t looking for and willing to pay someone to do.

Once you decide what you want to be doing, post your advertisement for your goods or services on Craigslist. This is the hardest part for many people, but writing an effective ad can make or break your success. Write out several good ads, then pick the best ones. Do not leave out this next step - read your ad out loud. If something sounds funny or it doesn’t feel like an actual conversation, start over. Once you think you have a good ad, have your friends read your ad and listen to their feedback.

I know several people who have followed this very simple plan and are enjoying their work from home incomes. One person loved to cook, so she placed an ad to cook meals for families that are too busy to shop and cook. She prepairs meals from her home and her clients come pick them up on their way home. She loves her job and her clients love her.

Another work from home idea, for the stay at home mom - daytime babysitting. If you can handle another child or two, people are willing to pay good money to have their child cared for by a responsible and loving adult. But don’t undercut your prices. You’re providing just as much service, if not more of a service, than commercial daycares. Serve only a few families and you can pull in a substantial weekly income all from working at home.

Need more ideas? If you are you a good writer, is writing. Write an ad advertising your writing services. If you’re really a good writer, your ad will draw the jobs to you and you can make excellent money as a free lance writer. The sky is the limit here. Every word you see on the internet was written and don’t think there’s not good money to be made in writing content.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of what you can do to make money working from home. Craigslist is an invaluable tool for marketing your goos and services to hundreds of potential bosses - use it to your advantage. Be creative, realistic and helpful and you could start enjoying your work from home income tomorrow.

Good Luck,
Phil
