Help without scams

Hey all I am looking for an online job to supplement my existing job. It is so hard because most of them seem to be scams.

Can someone tell me where to go for a real online, job??
I would like to do typing, or referencing, pretty much anything online.
Thank you all in advance.;)

    Welcome to the forum. Since this is an unbiased forum most the stuff you'll find in these forums aren't scams, as usually, if they are, people will highlight as such (and they get deleted) or tell you the pros/cons of each one based on their experience. Everyones in your position in trying to harvest the gems from the dirt here so you've come to the right place.

    Be sure to read around when you get chance or use the Search and select "Up Your Income" in the box of forum section titles at bottom right to search and enter certain keywords e.g. "typing", "referencing" top right and hit Search Now at the bottom. This will focus the search *just* on this section and bring up any relevant threads to your job-types. Since this forum is pretty huge its what I've been using to try and focus my attention on certain things.

    Here's some things to get you started that involve typing/writing or referencing, but there are of course other opportunities out there.

    Typing:
    Typing Jobs
    Become a Virtual Assistant
    Typing Jobs
    Typing Jobs Again
    And again

    The gist of the typing job scene is - anything is a scam if it asks for money upfront. And that beyond a few non-upfront payment sites, most typists go into business for themself by setting up a simple website/marketing themself.

    Referencing/Researching:
    AQA and Similar Services

    Writing:
    Blogging for a Second Income
    Website Articles
    Affiliate Marketing
    Surveys
    Reviews - SlicethePie
    Reviews - Dooyoo
    Becoming an Author
  • Do you have a very good typing speed and excellent grammar? There are opportunities for audio typists to work from home with these skills.
