Yes, you can find resources that will let you access work at home job opportunities and you don’t have to pay a single cent. Although sites still exist that charge you a fee just to find a home-based jobs, most jobseekers tend to shy away from them. Instead, they prefer to use sites that offer access for free. Here’s how you can find them:
Use established sites to find jobs.
Sites such as Monster.com, Yahoo! HotJobs and CareerBuilder are excellent sites for work at home jobs. Monster is a Web 1.0-style job website but it is still one of the best places to look for jobs you can do on your own. Type work at home, freelance jobs or telecommuting to search for jobs that fit your requirements. Don’t be stymied by the length of the listings, though. Be patient with your search and you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Craigslist is another website that offers job listings. It’s also highly searchable. To find free work at home jobs here, simply type freelance jobs on the searchbox.
You can also look for work at home jobs by specialization. Sunoasis Jobs and Writer’s Weekly, for example, are sites that offer plenty of writing, copywriting and editing jobs, all for free. Media Bistro is another website that offers jobs in different fields of media. Registration is required in order to gain access to the listings but it’s for free.
You can also use job search engine sites such as Jobster, Indeed and Simply Hired. You can search these sites by using keywords such as work at home, telecommute and freelance jobs.
Network.
Join discussion forums for leads. Use the contacts you have developed over time to find free work at home jobs. People who have had previous experience working at home can be excellent sources of information.

Thanks for the tips, I’m always looking for freelance jobs. By the way, what kind of jobs can you find on these sites?

Those are some great sources for finding work at jogs, especially Craigslist. I hire freelance writers on some of the webmaster forums. There are some real gold mines on them. You can type in some of the keywords mentioned above followed by forum in a Google search. Thanks for the information.
the digital point website has a lot of ways to make money online.. from copywriting to forum posting… thats right, people pay you to leave comments in their forum to make it look busy!
Thanks for all the sites. I’m just starting. They say that it takes a while to get jobs, so I’m hoping to get some really soon!
I have built 3 businesses from CL alone that have residuals of over 10 k per month. I now have staff that does the work, and it all started as freelance work and turned into booming businesses. One (the first one) went from zero to 1,500.00 the first month and grew to 10 k plus in about 5 1/2 months.
You just have to think, have good service, and keep advertising or answering ads. You will soon build a client base and then you are set. It is not that hard, just believe in yourself and get started, because just thinking about it will do nothing for your income.
As a copywriter I’m able to work anywhere. It’s a great job that allows for flexibility.
Being a website copywriter makes it even that much more fun because of the diverse environment on the web.
One website I’d like to recommend to everyone is elance.com. It’s an amazing site — and there are tons of projects to choose from and bid on.
