ways to make money from home

Options
hi does anyone have any advice on how to make real money from home? I don't have a landline phone of my own so telephone jobs are out of the question unless a mobile can be used, I have a fairly good internet connection, and not really wanting to do quizzes, have tried those and 95% of the time I end up being told that I am not right for the quiz, my punctuation isn't always the best so audio typing jobs wouldn't suit, is there anything at all I am able to do at home, looking to earn around £20 per day with flexible working hours.

    Web Search Evaluation sounds perfect for you. I currently work for Leapforce. Link to apply here https://www.leapforceathome.com/qrp/public/jobs/list?uref=420b3c78396d55dcfb12cfdda8ed6ad4

    or search the board for the companies that offer it Leapforce, Lionbridge or Appen.

    You could easily earn £20 a day. Some people do it full time. I have been doing it for 8 years and earn £500+ part time every month

    You could join a marketing business like Juice Plus, Avon etc.
    I am a rep with Juice Plus and it fits around my lifestyle. It's a question of finding which franchising job is right for you though. As with a lot of things, you get out what you put in.

    Hi, I'm not new here but it's years since I last posted, and I can no longer access my old ID.
    I need to find some home based work again which can be flexible around fluctuating health issues, and which also doesn't involve huge amounts of clicking (RSI). Typing is okay though.
    I used to do phone surveys for Optimum Contact a few years ago but have found they are no longer doing them. Did chatlines for a short while, but the compulsory regular night shifts, and inability to control breaks during shifts, were both unmanageable healthwise on plenty of days.
    Proofreading and copy editing would be ideal, but whilst I'm someone friends might informally ask to do this, and I have the ability, I don't have industry experience - which I gather is necessary to get paid for it regularly.

    Am I correct in thinking that the likes of Lionbridge require regular set shifts and that applicants also need to travel to an interview (the latter could require arrangements for me that were impractical for the company)?

    Is there anything much someone in my situation can do, other than web content stuff like Textbroker?
    I am bright and there's plenty of stuff I know about - unfortunately none of it seems to translate into interesting jobs that can be done at home, without further qualifications in areas I know a little, and that I can't stay well enough for long enough stretches to complete.

    The other problem for me around Textbroker now is privacy issues, that because of a couple of bad exes I need to be careful about putting my real name and location online. A few years ago everyone just had usernames, now there are profiles with full names and photos and I'm not sure you can compete without those.
    [Edit: realised it was People Per Hour which I meant with these profiles. They probably don't hurt on Textbroker either. But I haven't had a proper look round Textbroker yet as I've been asked to redo the test writing, and the assignments I did a few years ago are no longer on my profile.]

    Any other options/ advice?

    What sort of things do you do and how much time do you spend a night doing it?
