Work from Home Jobs

One of the sites that I use to search jobs for is CraigsList. It's free, and you get to directly contact the clients. Jobs range from Data Entry, Web Design, Search Engine Optimization, Business Transcription, Medical Transcription, to Accounting, and even Engineering.

You have to set up your own mechanism for protecting yourself though. For a start, you may consider taking a few risks. As you get more projects, you will build a name for yourself, until your previous clients can speak for you. This way, you can start charging future clients payment in advance to protect yourself, or arrange more acceptable payment methods that would be most beneficial for you and your clients.

You can also try www.getafreelancer.com, but it's hard to get projects if you don't avail of their paid membership. The competition is also very tough.
