A
freelancer is a self-employed person who works for a number
of different companies, employers, or individuals.
This person is usually hired by the job or project, for a limited period
of time.
In
your search for work you can do from home, you may want to
consider the idea of freelancing and check out the freelance sites I've listed below, especially if you have 1) a specific niche or
specialized skill 2) good people skills 3) a healthy level of self confidence and 4) the
ability to promote yourself in a professional manner.
Do keep in mind as you check out the freelance sites below that the income you earn from freelancing is LINEAR and not RESIDUAL (see my description here). Of course, LINEAR income is great if you can get set up right away and you want to work so many hours a day for so much pay. But if you're like me and would rather be paid over and over again for work you do one time, then I suggest you consider starting a business instead so you can earn RESIDUAL income. I've been earning residual income for over 14 years from the same company (for the work I did when my children were smaller), so I know it works!
Please don't consider this list of freelance sites to be my
personal recommendations, as I'm NOT affilated with any of them. They're only here to save you time and help with your
research. If they prove to be helpful in connecting you with an
opportunity, please let me know so I can share your results with
other moms who read my updates. Also, if you know any other
(non-affiliate) freelance sites that you'd like to see listed here, drop me a line and I'll check them out.
These freelance sites provide a good amount of information:

FREELANCE WRITERS...
I read just this week about a publisher that pays between $16 and $200 for selected articles submitted by internet writers. If you are a good writer and want to earn money writing articles about topics that interest you, you might want to check out Helium Marketplace and see what they have to offer. This is NOT a personal recommendation, as I only know what I've read about them online.
I hope this information is helpful.
