    Theres alot of jobs that you can do from home that dont require the headset or phone use. I know that if I'm working from home I sure dont want to actually have to talk to anyone unless i want to lolol..... You just have to look through all the possibilities and then take a chance and remember make sure you do some research before jumping into anything.

    Jobs? Probably not, unless you want to do some freelance writing, coding, etc., from one of the more global freelance sites. pcwork may be able to tell you which ones are open to Nigerian freelancers.

    You could always build your own website and build a business about something you know about - maybe Nigerian tourist spots or a hobby or interest you have, etc.

    I use SiteBuildIt to learn to build my sites and although they are based in Canada, you can pretty much be anywhere in the world and build a web business. It's not steady income until you get your site up and running and established, but once you do, you can build a nice income from it.

    Sorry I can't offer any other advice - I only recommend them because I use them myself and know they are definitely reliable and trustworthy. [IMG]

    Hope you find something that is just right for you.

    Vishal P. Rao: ath
    Dear Reader,
    Where to start? Err... Ok. Here's where I'm at. Getting straight to my current status, I live in Asia (born UK), am 39 years young and don't really wish to head back to teaching here. Had a blast when doing it but feel I've expired the desire. I don't really need a monthly fortune but desperately need something to keep the ole brain ticking over (some income would be welcome, too). My actual trade/profession of painting & decorating is proving near-on impossible to use as an avenue for employment over here. So in the past few months, aside from joining online recruitment agencies, I've been spending pretty much every daytime-hour looking on the net for opportunities.
    Sure, there seems to be a trillion websites out there but I am far too sceptical by nature to entertain the 'get rich quick', 'how would you like 10-grand-a-month' sites. I want to put in the time and reap the reward. Want nothing for nothing, just an opportunity to work hard and earn according to effort instilled. Any ideas?????????
    In the past week I have signed up to two of the more realistically sold/advertised sites but on both occasions, at submission stage (we're talking card details n-all), it appears my geographical location is a no-no. Having earlier read thoroughly through the sites for international restrictions and seen nothing (both sites even had a field including global destinations), I'm pretty disheartened to say the least. Having mentioned my scepticism, I truly have to dig deep to trust my judgement regarding giving my card details, over the net, when I wouldn't know an authentic site if it poked me in the eye.
    How do you tell an honest site from a scam-monger? I'm not the best techno-head out there and will probably be working till I drop but I do like to work rather than laze. I've been out here for eight years now and at this moment in time the only thing missing is a sense of career/work path. There must be something online that would suit me and my work ethics/abilities, any clues, please tell.
    The last 24 hours have seen me sign up to 20-odd survey sights with a view to getting a steady amount of work to do. After confirming registration with all, the most are now talking about "a survey in two weeks" or "four per year". Thought that could have been an option but not so sure now.
    Please, please, please, any ideas that doesn't include robbing people or gaming/gambling???
    P.S. I'm spending so much time looking for work that my time-management is up the creek. I want to be able to schedule my breakfast, exercise, lunch n dinner with as much work in between as poss'.
    P.P.S. Please keep it constructive, I've read too many forums with input by 'smart Alecs'.

    Hi, my name is Connie and I'm a "newbie" as this is my first post. I've been 3 months, yes, 3 months, trying to figure out how to make money from my home. I read all of the posts and then click on the "signature" and it still takes me to where you scroll to the bottom and then they ask for money. I absolutely cannot do this anymore as I have been scammed too many times. Please, please, I type 70+ words per minute, have internet access, telephone & have all the time in the world to sit in front of my computer and have run out of time "seeking" on line employment as bills are starting to come in. I love doing surveys but would love some type of "transcription" jobs as I love to type and have great proofreading skill.s Hope I am abiding by rules of this forum and pelase let me know if I am not but I am getting very frustrated. I know there are tons of people out there making money from their home and I want to be one of them. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Connnie, there are lots of general transcription companies and some of them do hire newbies. There is a long list of companies at wahm.com if you want to check them out.

    Other than building your own website business (which isn't a paid job but something you have to build up to regular pay), the only other thing I can think of that you may want to try is something like Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

    Basically, you sign up to perform small tasks for people online and get paid for doing it. The pay isn't great, but it is almost immediate and is better than nothing. I know they are legit because I've used them myself to have small tasks done.

    Have you tried looking in your local area for any companies that will outsource work to you so that you can do it at home? It's hard to break into that if you don't already have a relationship with a company, but it's worth checking into.

    Hope you find something that suits.

    Blessings,

    does anyone here work from home without using a phone?
  17. Cyclone1984 New Member

    On Cashcrate when you do a survey do you have to go all the way through each one or can you just can you opt out if you don't want to fill in the information? You get what I am saying?
