Nowadays, work at home jobs are in greater demand.
A lot of skilled workers are trying to build a part-time or full-time online career. Why?
It is because of the higher opportunity to earn more on your own time and at your own pace. At least that was one of my reasons.
In developing your online job, you need to have a starting point. This is where you can gather basic information, advice, and tips. When I started my freelancing career, I knew next to nothing about working online.
I had a good friend (who is now my sister-in-law!) teach me the basics. But I still had to do a lot of self-studying. She introduced Odesk to me and while I got a lot of useful information from her, we worked on different niches. She couldn’t really help me develop the specific skills I needed to be an effective online writer. That is why I had to seek out other sources of information that will help develop my knowledge of writing in this domain.
ONLINE FORUMS FOR WORK AT HOME SUPPORT
One of the portals that really helped me work at home are online forums. A forum is a social networking site or community board. This is where you can exchange ideas and information with people who share the same interests as you. Naturally, I gravitated towards online writing forums.
In this three-part article series, I’d like to discuss in detail 4 work at home forums that you can look into while you are starting your online career. These websites have a high page rank which makes them an authority site for remote workers.
Digital Point Forum
Digital Point forum is a website that receives a lot of traffic or visitors every month. In order to sign up at Digital Point, you need to use your existing Facebook account – at least, if you want to automatically fill in your information. Of course, that will link the forum to this social network site and you can see updates from the forum even as you browse your Facebook account. If you don’t like the link, you can simply put your preferred email address instead and fill in the details needed manually.
After registering, you are obliged to read the rules of the Forum. I really suggest that you read them because failure to comply could get you banned from participating.
In this site, you can start new forum topics and search for the necessary information about online opportunities. Topics include advertising, business, marketing, and other online freelance jobs. The topics are categorized, thus it is important that you post your topic according to the appropriate category. Otherwise, your topic may not be approved by the admin. You could lose the information that you can get from the other professionals in the forum.
Also, you can also chat online with the other members of the site. That will help you increase your network and possibly even gain you friends. At Digital Point forum, there are different posts you can look into. It could be about payment processing, social networks, SEO, e-commerce, affiliate programs, pay-per-click advertising, and many more online opportunities. Digital Point products and tools, reviews, and feedback are also available so I highly recommend it to newbies.
In the next part of this series, I will be discussing other forums that you can look into.
