Odesk/Ask.com

Odesk is a great place to start for work at home job seekers. With Odesk, you can sign up, create your profile and apply for different jobs. You will also receive invitations to interview. I do a job through Odesk for Ask.com and I love it. For this job, you receive a batch of questions and you research and provide answers to those questions.
The pros of this job are you have a deadline but you can work when you want. You have no set hours. The editors and co-workers are great and very helpful. We have a facebook group where we advise and help each other. You can get paid through your bank account or your Paypal account. One you finish your batch, you are sent another one. There is no limit on how many you can do.
