Here are the contenders, starting with the one with the lowest score:

Number 4: Online Auctions

This is my least favorite of these work at home opportunities, because it involves selling your own stuff. However, it does work if you have a lot of junk you wouldn’t mind getting rid of. Sign up with eBay, take pictures of your items, list them and let the bidding begin!

Number 3: Participate in online surveys

Many online companies are willing to pay people to do their market research for them, rather than wasting thousands of dollars on research and development. However, in order to make real money using this method, you have to devote at least 8 hours a day, as the pay-per-survey is very low. I only recommend this work at home method if you are desperate.

Number 2: Become an article writer

Writing articles (like this one!) isn’t as hard as you think. There are a lot of web-sites constantly looking for people to hire a “ghost writer”, to the tune of $8-$50 per article. The only thing about this method is that it requires you to do a lot of research online, to educate yourself on the how-to’s and what-not’s. Google “ghost writing” or “how to write articles” to get a good start. But because of the money you can make on a continuous basis, it’s number 2 out of my free work at home job opportunities.

And the number 1 of my recommended free work at home job opportunities is:

Become an Online Incentive Forum Worker

This job is my number one free home worker opportunity for good reason: It requires no experience, you can start earning money within the next 2 hours, there is virtually no learning curve and you make real money working from your home – not just peanuts. There is no fee to sign up, and you can realistically earn $200-$300 in 2-3 days.
