Beat the Economic Crisis and Earn From Home

Having a hard time looking for a job? If you are, then this one is for you.

You are probably aware of the world's dire economy right now. You may have heard news of factories, companies and large scale businesses closing. Everywhere you go, there are always stories of people getting laid off. In fact, you may even have your own story to share. But are you supposed to let this economic crisis put you down?

No you should not. This is because a regular job in the office or a factory is not the only means for you to earn some cash. Believe it or not, you can earn some legitimate money while working at home!

What exactly can you do to earn from home? Here are some jobs that you may want to try:

1. You can be a home based writer. 

If you can write about anything under the sun, then this job is perfect for you. There are a lot of SEO (search engine optimization) companies who recruit individuals who can turn in quality articles within the deadlines that they set.

How much will you earn from this gig? Well it actually depends on your skills as a writer. Sometimes, upon application, the editors will evaluate your work. And, based on how well or how poorly you wrote a set, they will be giving you a rate that they think you deserve. Some rates can go as low as $1 or as high as $5 per article of 500 words.

2. You can be a web assistant. 

In SEO companies, a web assistant is someone who is in charge of tracking and uploading the completed articles to several blogs and websites like Ezine or Squidoo. For you to be able to do this, you have to be Internet savvy and you have to be equipped with some knowledge on HTML codes to successfully embed the links your client requires. With regards to salary, web assistants are usually paid based on the number of articles that they have successfully uploaded.

3. You can answer paid surveys or data entry. 

If you are looking for a stint that does not really require that much brain activity then these two are for you. Why? Simply because all you have to do is to complete a questionnaire, or fill in specific pieces of data on forms supplied by the website and voila! Your account gets credited (sometimes even instantly).

What is the downside? Since these jobs are less challenging compared to the others mentioned above, the pay is also minimal. The rate for surveys can go anywhere in between $0.010 to $0.060 while data entry can be anywhere in between $0.20 and $0.50

Those are but a few jobs or stints that you can do to earn from home. Eventually, as you go full time and open up to the idea more, you'll find that there are so many things that you can earn from the Internet. So do not delay, find "the" job that works for you and start earning right now.
