I’m always surprised to learn how few people are aware of the numerous part-time job opportunities available online.  Most people simply don’t know how (or where) to search for them. 

Have your heard of the term “freelance” or “freelancers?”  You probably have when you think about it for a minute, and most likely you associate the word with the phrase “freelance writer.”  But writing is not the only job one can do as a freelancer.

Other freelance jobs one can do, and find numerous postings for online, include:

• Software design
• Web Design
• Computer programming
• Web development/scripting
• Article writing
• Review writing
• Proofreading
• Graphic design
• Data entry
• Forum posting
• Brochure creation

These are just a few of the type of freelance jobs that you can find and contract for online.  They exist on sites that cater to freelancers and they are legitimate jobs that one contracts for directly with the person or company seeking the freelancer. 

Popular websites where one can find freelance work include:

• eLance.com
• GetaFreelancer.com
• LanceMonster.com
• iFreelance.com
• Freelance.com

Of the services above, I’ve used both eLance.com and GetaFreelancer.com.  Both services produced great results and were easy to work with.  If you’re sitting at home with nothing to do in this weak economy, check out one or more of these services to see if you can land a freelance assignment online.

One of the greatest part-time income opportunities you’ll ever come across, whether looking for an online business or a traditional offline business, is that of a Watkins home products business.  Founded in 1868, Watkins was not only one of the first home products businesses in America, but it has always marketed its products through a network of work-at-home indepedent Watkins associates, or dealers.

Today’s Watkins manufactures over 350 different products for home, family and personal use.  Independent Watkins associates have numerous ways and methods to build and operate their independent businesses.  The cost of joining Watkins and being able to buy at wholesale (i.e., a 25% discount) is only $39.95 plus tax.  Each year thereafter, the cost of renewing an associates’s wholesale membership is $30 per year. 

Watkins is an outstanding company with an impeccable reputation.  The company has never had a single product recall in its 142-year history.  This speaks volumes about the care the company takes in the manufacturing process and concern for producing all products to extremely high standards.

The Watkins compensation plan is one that rewards associates for building their own independent Watkins sales organizations.  A dealer not only makes money from his or her own sales, but earns an over-riding bonus on the sales of anyone he or she recruits, as well all associates below their personally sponsored level.  Thus, the residual income earning potential of Watkins makes it an outstanding part-time income producing opportunity.

During these difficult economic times, more and more people are turning to part-time jobs to earn any income they can.  Some are forced to find part-time work because of their difficulty in finding a full-time job.  Others are taking on part-time jobs as a means to earn extra income to pay bills or make ends meet.

Still, a third category of part-time workers are people who purposely seek a part-time job or income opportunity with a goal and vision to turn it into a full-time income and gravitate from a full-time job they’ve grown to hate to a new career.  In essence, their desire is to build a new career for themselves, starting part-time and hoping to build their part-time income opportunity into either a full-time income, whether they still opt to work part-time in the new career, or full-time.

My best advice to anyone seeking a part-time job is to find a job that best suits your personality, interests and past experience.  Most importantly, seek part-time positions in an area or industry you’re passionate about.  History has proven that the majority of workers hate their current jobs or existing career.  What separates many part-time job opportunity seekers away from the hoards of people who work in a dead-end job, is that they represent the segment of society willing to burn extra midnight oil and hold down two jobs in hopes of shutting down their deadbeat job one day and going full-time with their part-time job. 

For this to happen, your new part-time job opportunity needs to be a successful one.  For it to become successful, you’ll have to dedicate time and energy into your new part-time assignment.  For you to devote considerable time and interest in a new part-time position, particularly if you’re required to put a lot of hours into it in order to make it work, one needs to be passionate about the new part-time position or career.  For you to become and stay passionate, it will need to be fun.

And ”fun” part-time job opportunities is what PartTime-Job.com is going to become famous for day.  We’re going to focus on covering new part-time job opportunities and areas of interests that large segments of society will come to find or know as “fun.”
