Are there legit online jobs for unskilled people?:)

I was thinking of working from home and was wondering the possibilities of online jobs available.

What are the possible prospects?

If you have your own computer, and I assume you do, and know how to use it properly, then you are not entirely unskilled.

Here in Ontario, people can access the data base for the job market through a government website. Do you have something like that where you are ?

Not that I know of...
And the online market here where I am is limited because being a small place almost all business are done either by phone/fax or emails.Online jobs are rare.

I was wondering more about international opportunities where I could do some sort of work for companies from other countries online,if there is such a thing.

Would you by any chance be interested in doing art for others and/or selling art that you have done?

If it is possible.. maybe.

I have some definite ideas about that. I have to run now. But, I will be back on in about six hours. Sorry about that! But, I really do have to go!

Thanks Clough,
See you later.

Are you there, firmbeliever?

I am here,but about to get offline.
For you I will wait a bit more:)

I am here. But, it is very late for me. Maybe we should continue at a later time. I want to be able to give you solid advice with also having a clear mind with which to help you.

Thanks Craig,
See you later then.. :)

Thank you, firmbeliever! We will continue later, then. I am sure that there will be a time in the near future when we will both be online and when it is not so late for me, in order that I might give you answers with the clearest mind that I have.

Later...

I am here, now. Are you?

Yes!

Edit::::::::::::::Sorry Craig, I got to go in a few minutes.Something came up.
I will see you later.

Good!

I'm going to send you a private message. I can't openly advertise on this site within an answer to someone. Once you see the private message and do the actions that I have described, then you will understand and we can continue on this post.

Yes!

Edit::::::::::::::Sorry Craig, I got to go in a few minutes.Something came up.
I will see you later.


Okay, I understand. Thanks for letting me know! :)

I did what you asked me and checked it out.
Now I just got to hear what you were going to say.

Hope to see you when you are online.

Then you saw where my ads for various services that I provide are. Correct?

Yes I did!

I really do apologize that it has taken me so long to get back to you! We will continue later, then. Okay? I think what we ought to do, is when we both realize that we are online here at the same time, is for both of us to try to concentrate on this thread. I have had a flurry of PM's tonight. One person, who is having some problems with her life, really needed to be answered. I needed to make sure that she was okay before I go to bed.

It is Ok Craig.

I am in no hurry.
Today I discussed about online jobs with a cousin in the IT field and it seems the banking system here is too hard for me to do much selling to clients out of my country.
The transfer of money and exchange makes me lose a lot of what I might earn.

So, I think I will try to limit to where I am for now and hopefully somewhere in the future I can have some work done online.:)

Thanks Craig.

It is possible to advertise so that it is directed to people who might buy something from you who are only in your country.

Most are not that into searching the internet for these things.
Small community, phone books,yellow pages have most of it.

Or someone in the family will have a friend who could find someone who does something and that is way easier than the internet in my community.:)

People are not backward as such,but tend to rely on word of mouth more than advertisements.:)

Okay.

Here are a couple of ideas for you: Guru.com provides a forum for employers who are looking for a wide variety of skills - mostly online. There are other freelance sites out there too, but I know Guru has a good reputation. As a self proclaimed "dabbler" (your profile) you may find something to dabble in there. :-)

Also, there are a number of web sites that offer virtual office temp positions - you can read about this trend in the following article:

Kind of like being an office administrator without having to go into an office. :-)
