There are lots of freelance sites out there that have made a reputation for allowing freelancers to build a portfolio, gain clients, and successfully set up a contractor business from home. Today I learned about a site that's quite interesting and is making a buzz in the freelance world. It's called Live Work and it allows you to earn money from gigs that are posted by individuals that need online tasks done. It's pretty cool cause it stems from a very popular work from home company called LiveOps. This company hires live operators to work for clients in the comfort of their home taking calls.

I've been on boards and seen that people have had success with this site. I do plan on getting a profile and requesting work so when I get projects and get paid, I will post updates. In the mean time, check it out.

If you are hired on as a court researcher, you'll generally be looking up very basic information from the documents that are available and inputting them into a spreadsheet. This is why it is important to have a laptop and to get hired on most companies, having a laptop is a requirement.

The amount of work from a county largely depends on the population base and the growth of the area. It also depends on the amount of work that the research company has acquired in that specific area. The hours are flexible and the work can be fast or slow depending on the the type of work you are required to research.

Jelly Bean Services is a research company that is looking for researchers all across the US. They are legit and have assignments all over. If you are interested in getting started as a researcher and would like to fill out an application, you can log on to their website here and they will contact you if they have current needs in your area.

Good Luck

There seems to be so many get paid to sites nowadays. Get paid to listen to music, read advertisements, get spam, play games, take surveys, you name it. The list goes on and on. While I will be listing a whole bunch on my blog, I wanted to call your attention to a site, I came across today. It lists a lot of gpt sites and even has proof of payment.

I honestly do not feel like gpt sites should ever replace a real job. As I do believe that you would have to work endlessly and tirelessly to achieve a great compensation. But it is great side money and can be tons of fun.

So in any event here's the site and enjoy.

There are many opportunities that are offered by this company besides court research and they have many local services as well. It is family owned and getting started is really easy.
