Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Work at Home?
Permalink  

Does anyone have a work at home type job that doesn't involve selling anything.  I'm trying to think of something I can do part-time from the RV that can earn me some income.  In my former life I was an administrative assistant so I have excellent clerical and computer skills.

I know that there are medical transcriptionists that work from home.  I would need some extra training to do that.  From what I have learned, most internet work at home companies require you to have a land line or cable connection for internet.  We just have an aircard.

I'm hoping to pick your brains for ideas.  aww

Thank!

You're right, the legitimate companies who have virtual customer service agents require cable internet & land line.  So that doesn't work too well when you're traveling!
Have you thought of being a virtual assistant?  With your background, it could be right up your alley.  Here's a website where you can get some more info: http://www.assistu.com/  I know several people who have hired virtual assistants & it has worked out well.  Hope that helps!

Hi from Missouri!

You might want to check out oDesk.com or others such as guru.com or elance.com

I have done some work through oDesk and it worked!  Paid on time, etc. and there is no fee for enrolling.

BTW, I was a home-based medical transcriptionist for many years in my "previous life" and not sure I would recommend it for full-timing RVers, especially if one has no prior experience in the field.

Feel free to send me a PM if you'd like.

Cheers,
Betty

There are a lot of work from home jobs that involve call centers that range from technical support of any type of equipment you can think of to just customer service. The hours are very convenient. Every shift is available in some of these jobs.
What you do need however is a rock solid internet connection because it would not be uncommon to have multiple screens up into different applications at the same time, possibly streaming into someones pc (if it is pc support), and all the people that have these kind of jobs use voip through the call center software system. I suggest looking in careerbuilder and monster. Search for call center, customer service or technical support jobs.
