Does Anyone....

Hi, does anyone know of legit website that legit companies look for homeworkers? I have social phobia / anxiety and the less interaction I have with people face to face the better. I've had my benefit cut to £55 without notification which doesn't even cover the weekly shop. I have been doing virtual social media volunteering for animal charities and have really enjoyed it, I felt I was at least doing something, but anyway, I shall have to stop that know as I soon I will have to cancel my internet as I can't afford it, so I'm desperately trying to find some online work I can do at home, then I won't have to claim benefit, but I don't want to get caught out in any scams. I'm self taught in computer skills, could anyone advise me of companies who employ and also possible courses I could do to improve my skills on pc stuff. It would be very much appreciated. Thanks

    Have a look round this thread, if we're talking about it on MSE it will be legit and not a scam.

    I do not do it myself but there is a Lionbridge thread on here, they offer homeworking and ask that you give a minimum of 10 hours per week.

    I only earn about £50 a week online as I work fulltime so this is just a top up but there is plenty you can be doing. I do survey sites and Swagbucks etc - time consuming, not greatly paid but addictive lol! If you want anymore info on this sort of thing let me know either here or by PM.

    You've come to the right place.

    This involves writing articles and web copy for varied clients.

    When I started I was earning a few extra quid a week. The last 2 weeks I've earnt over £300. Once you've written articles for clients, they can come back asking for more, which tends to earn more.

    If you are doing any work like this, make sure you register as self employed.
