Work Online From Home on CBS News

,
I just came across a useful video on cbsnews about working online from home.
She mentions a site I hadn't heard of before called VIPDesk, a company that apparently allows you to do customer service work from home and pays about $10 an hour. I will research more information about them later.
Crystal,
Thanks for sharing this. I am searching for a site like this to add to my income especially for the coming 2012. I will check this out and see how it pans out. I wonder what type of customer service they actually hire for. $10 an hour is quite a good deal.
Hi,
Happy 2012! I saw the video about your post "Work Online From Home on CBS News" and tried to find out something more about it online but couldn't find anything. I hope you got to research more information and share it with the audience soon. :) I am looking forward to it. I want to find for other sources of income working at home for 2012. So far, I find oDesk.com as a very good source with a lot of job categories. All you have to do is to create an account which is absolutely free to get you started. Thanks for sharing.
I've primarily been doing work from Odesk with some occasional contracts from Elance. I've never heard of this site before but it sounds positive. Ten dollars an hour is big for staying at home.
This site is the new way to work for many small businesses with fewer than 500 employees. Monthly hiring is up roughly 40 percent year-over-year. They're not looking to hire someone in two weeks or two months -- odds are, they needs someone N-O-W. There have been over 35,000 jobs posted to the site in the past 30 days - everything from building Facebook apps to ghostwriting books, developing marketing materials, graphic design work and writing executive bios.
How it works: You submit a proposal for the work, get hired and agree upon terms and milestones. At the end, you submit your invoice and funds are released from escrow. This is key, because one of the things freelancers and e-lancers struggle with is getting paid and getting paid expeditiously. So the fact that eLance provides a tool to facilitate this and that the project is funded up-front is significant benefit.
