Freelance Typing Jobs
Where to find freelance typing jobs.
Freelance Typing Job Resources
Freelance typing is a hot topic here at MoneyMakingMommy.com. Emails pour in every week from those wanting a part-time or full time freelance typing job from home.
A bit like shamrocks and leprechauns, freelance typing jobs are out there for those that are willing to hunt and believe. Not just believe in the job–but believe in themselves.
Make sure if you’re going on a freelance typing job hunt — that you prepare as if you were going on a safari! Have everything you need READY.
The Freelance Typing Job Hunt Supply List:
-Current, personal cover letter
-Current resume
-Office equipment and software that concurs with job qualifications
-Skills that meet qualifications or preferably exceed them
If you’re gonna go out there in the “telecommuting” wilderness, you better be ready to fight it out with the best. Working at home has become so HOT, it’s competitive and cut throat.
OK…if you have your supplies ready…
Then you’re reading to start hunting. Where to hunt is truly a jungle. I’ve been on the internet since 1992 and, wow, has there gotten to be a lot of ….. mind my French…..crap out there!
Listen, I never recommend paying for any kind of “job”. And when I say JOB, I mean employment with a company. I’m not talking about information or memberships. I get asked this SO much my ears almost bleed now when it’s asked. “Why should I pay someone to work for them? Some of the things on your site ask for money?”
1. ASK for refund policy procedures.
2. Ask for contact info for customer service
3. Ask for referrals (sometimes costumers do not allow their info to be shared though)
4. KNOW what you are buying and bookmark the website!!!!!!!!
5. Do a search for the company or product and see what comes up. (Good or Bad)
Now…. all that being said…
Freelance Typing Job Hunting HOW-TO
Of course you need to sign up at both Monster and Job.com. These websites are totally free. It takes seconds to set up your account. You can also set up keywords and have them searched for each day – the results can be conveniently emailed to you! Totally worth taking advantage of!
Beyond is a large site that offers free tools to job seekers as well.
There are also websites geared toward typing-type work:
MT Daily: Transcription and Editing type work.
And more job sites:
Employment911 – The offer resume writing services JUST for people looking for clerical type work.
Also freelance websites like freelancer.com have jobs all the time for typing and writing.
You can also check out the Work at Home Section that I provide. My FREE WAHM DAILY provides work at home and telecommuting jobs in it as well. (Both are free resources!)
By having your skills on par with what the employer is looking for, having your home office equipped with the essentials and approaching the employer professionally with your credentials (resume and cover letter), you are already miles ahead of many, many people that reply to freelance and work at home positions. Some people just reply…..”I’d like to have this job. Email me back.” Yep…that’s how they respond to a job ad. Can you imagine what an employer does with those responses?
Be looking all the time. Keep track of what you’ve applied for and what sites you’ve visited. That way you can follow up with an employer and avoid applying twice for the same job.
Bottom line…
Approach it like you would any other job. Just because it’s freelance or work at home or telecommuting doesn’t mean you can apply any ole way. It’s not an open invitation to just be all laid back and nonchalant.
