What kinds of free work at home jobs are available?

Freelance marketplaces offer projects from many categories and many more subcategories.  Here are few examples of some of the most popular categories.

Do you want to work at home and get paid hourly?

If you want to work hourly, oDesk is the best marketplace to start with. They have hundreds of hourly positions available ranging from 10 hours to 40 hours per week. oDesk also offers fixed-price projects where a price is agreed upon by the buyer and provider to complete a project. If you want to create long-term business relationships and work from home on an hourly basis, oDesk has what you are looking for.

Do you want to work at home and get paid per project?

If you want to get paid by project instead of hourly, Freelancer, Scriptlance, Project4Hire, and oDesk all offer fixed-price projects. There are many benefits to working on fixed-price projects. Project price, duration, and other terms are agreed upon by you and your buyer. You are free to work the hours you choose. In most cases email and messengers are used for communication. Sometimes your buyer will wish to speak via messenger. Working in this way gives us freedom to be parents, night owls, and students.

Assemble your proof of competence.

oDesk, GetAFreelancer, Scriptlance, and Project4Hire all require you to create a profile when you set up an account with them. Your profile will help to show buyers your skills and qualifications.

oDesk has the nicest tools to help you maximize your profile. They currently offer 340 tests including English Test (Sentence Structure), Technical Writing Skills Certification, and C++ Programming Test. By taking these online tests you can show buyers that you are qualified to provide quality work for their projects.

Brainbench is a prestigious qualification assessment company that offers many free tests. They also offer many more tests that they charge a fee for. Any certificates from Brainbench are valuable assets to your profile.

You will also need to create an impressive looking resume. There are many free tools out there that can help you achieve a handsome looking resume including resume wizards offered by your word processing software.

Prepare your mind.

I think that it is most important to prepare yourself mentally in order to work at home successfully. You will not sit down at your computer today and make money. It takes time to set up your profile, and it's important to make it the best that it can be. You must then apply for projects. This is a numbers game. Don't choose just one project that you like and expect to get hired for it. Apply to as many projects as the site allows. If a buy is interested in your application and you have too much work already you can always retract you bids or reject interviews. This is going to be hard work. You may not get hired the first week that you start applying for projects. You have to know ahead of time that you will stay persistent and keep going. Don't let yourself get half way through the first week and give up. Remember, it's a numbers game. The more projects you apply for, the better the chance you have of getting hired. It really is a terrific feeling when you get that first interview and land that first project! Just know that you'll get there, and do what it takes to make it happen.  After you win your first project and get a great review from your buyer, winning more projects afterwards is easy!
