If you have been trying to find a job that will allow you to work from home, you may be feeling overwhelmed. There are many options available and it can be hard to determine which jobs are real and which ones are scams. The following are some tips to help you find the perfect work at home job for you.
If you would like to work for an employer, you may want to consider a telecommuting position. A telecommuting will allow you to work from a home office either part time or full time. You can find telecommuting positions in many types of fields, such as data entry, writing, administrative support, customer service, and more.
These positions can be hard to find; you will need to search on a regular basis, at least two times per week. When you search, you may want to try putting quotation marks around the search term, such as "must be willing to telecommute". This will insure that you only receive search listings that match that phrase exactly. Without the quotation marks, you will receive any variation of the search term.
Some places to search include job boards, such as monster.com. Some websites dedicated to the work at home community will do the work for you and will have listings of telecommuting positions. You can also visit the forums on these sites and ask for referrals of companies that regularly hire telecommuters. There are also agencies that will help you find employment. Keep in mind that the agency will keep part of your pay. For example, if you find a job through an agency that pays $10 per hour, your employer is probably paying $12 per hour to the agency, and the agency is keeping the extra $2 per hour.
When searching for work online, be very cautious. Unfortunately, there are many scams, and it can be easy to fall for one of them. You should never pay for a job or be required to submit an application fee, processing fee, or registration fee. You should also pay attention to the ad wording. While it is possible to earn a decent wage working from home, you will not get rich overnight. If a company is promising you an unrealistic amount of money, this is a scam.
While it may take some time to find the perfect job, with a little effort and persistence, you will be able to find a job that will allow you to earn money while working at home.

Are there any entirely IM or VoIP -based p2p support services? That is services like Yedda, only that the communication happens in real time, on chat or via Skype?
I know of IRC software support rooms and http://qunu.com but I am looking for something more advanced, for instance a database where you can tag yor question (without writing it, tags alone), leave your IM details, take advantage of a tag-matching system like here on Yedda and wait to be contacted on your personal IM client.
