Now that you have wet the appetite with the top 5, you can go and have a look at the remaining 95 at Flejobs.
But before you do that, below are more places you can find, where to find work at home jobs.
Market places for Services
Market places for services is a website where people offer services, whether individual, professional or a company. Two examples of these sites are Fiverr and Upwork.
Fiverr
Fiverr provides an online market place where freelancers (you) can advertise their service which start at $5. You can offer different services at once. When a client purchases a service on Fiverr they have a fixed price.
Depending on the type of service the client is looking for will determine the price.
Another thing that can influence the price can be the time frame in which the task is completed. You are rated on how you perform and the feedback from clients, the higher the rating and tasks completed the better you chances of having clients engage you to complete a task.
On Fiverr you can pretty much provide any service with there being over 250 digital services on offer.
Fiverr takes a percentage of what you earn as a fee. Start here on Fiverr.
Upwork
Upwork is a little different to Fiverr where it is the reverse process.
A client advertises what service they want and freelancers (you) bid on the job. Once you set up your profile on Upwork, you will get notifications when a job is listed that matches your skill set. You can also search listed jobs and respond to the clients invitation. This allows you to select your preferred jobs and clients.
Pricing varies depending on the what service is advertised and can be completed as a fixed rate or an hourly rate.
Upwork have a robust vetting system where you will have a profile that will have your work experience, with examples of work completed, client feedback and a rating.
Upwork also charges a percentage of the work completed and also provide a sliding scale for repeat business. Start here on Upwork.
Product Review Companies
Product review companies provide a service that collects date on the clients products or service. With this data they provide their client with information to better their business or find out the consumer is looking for.
Some companies provide their own internal review process while others outsource this to to an service provider who may have several companies wanting to gather date on their product or service.
They provide payment through cash, coupons or a points reward system.
Below I list a number of different type of review companies. To be honest I have not used any of these so would really like to hear your feedback so I can update this blog to provide the best information and help other people further.
Please ensure you do your own research to find out which one suites you.

Local Search engines, bill boards and community to provide a service that saves time for others.
If your looking to provide a service within your local community you can look on the local billboard, community social media pages and even advertise through the social media platforms in you local are advertising your services.
Services that are provided within your local community are generally time saving services however, there would be plenty of opportunity to explore the local business environment.
You can provide great value to a local business by networking within the community.
Final Thought
If you feel that most of the jobs above are out of reach or are jobs that you don’t have the confidence then now would be a good time to up-skill. You can go to Udimy.com and complete a short coarse.
They provide many different options where you can gain the knowledge in the field that you want to start you online, working at home job.
Further more you can look on line and find others that are providing some great learning material in each individual field and learn from them.
