    Hey guys, so i have been unemployed for a fair bit.

    Used to send out a whole heap of applications whenever vacancies popped up, but eventually said screw it cos nepotism is rampant where i live.

    Was wondering if there are actually legit online work that is available to do from home?

    Am asking cos i genuinely am running low on resources.

    not sure if OT but I have a friend in his 70's that buys and sells on ebay ....he goes to estate sales and gets good deals on stuff and then sells it on ebay ....he had $54 grand in sales this past year...not sure what he spent on the stuff he sold but I'd bet he made at least $30 grand.

    he also gets a nice retirement check...he is always happy.

    @airbud7 - unfortunately, people are stingy as well where I live.

    @mbk1969 - honestly I thought about that, but not sure my chatting is a strength. I sound like a Vulcan when talking. But I can still do live sex shows (once I get into shape). How much do you normally pay for your sex show viewings?

    I was joking namely about video chat.
    Alas, I have not attended sex show so far. But I guess the pay depends on impression (at least additional pay).

    @mbk1969 - I was joking as well. See what I mean, it all comes out serious.

    Maybe I could do a little show for you so you can assess my performance...? XOXO.

    Online customer support I would imagine is an option. probably doesn't pay much though for the amount of spaghetti being thrown at you


    Also selling "mystery boxes" , people seem to be willing to buy a chance to own toenail clippings and vhs copies of cool runnings for like $10 a pop

    Since we are of the same gender (I strongly suspect) you should do something outstanding to impress me. May be the circus level tricks.

    eBay/Amazon shop, or YouTube subs if you can think of something popular to make a channel about

    Get your crap together and find a real job. This are tough we know but leave online earnings to pewdiepie and twitch thots.

    Professional consultancy is fine.

    You could always start your own business and be your own boss...

    @Extraordinary - thats already overflowing so it will be a tough task.

    A few years ago I signed up on a site where you can make $5 per job for things like photo editing, or stuff you can do there and then on your PC, I made a few fivers fixing photos

    Can't find the site atm, but if you become popular and got a few jobs a day you could live off that, 6 jobs @ a fiver a day = $900 per month, most of them took less than 10 mins

    EDIT - Found it

    Well...if you say so - but I've found that sometimes it is easier for a company to hire a consultant to dig around a company and make recommendations to sack people to whom the owners of the company have become too 'buddy buddy' with. So, they get someone to either confirm their suspicions, or provide them with a third-party option to remove members of staff.

    Happens more than I think you realise.

    Do you have any LinkedIn connections? Recruiters occasionally contact me about a new job through my LinkedIn profile.

    To be fair, almost all recruiters that reach out are in employment agencies that only offer contract work or contract to hire work. If that floats your boat then just say you're a progammer, lol. I get like 3 of those a day. In my experience, they all offer poor pay since they offer no PTO, or benefits of any type including health care.

    True. And many are also looking to expand their *client* base from references you give at companies you have worked at.
