POST A FLEXIBLE JOB
I don’t want a flexible job – I want a flexible income
We’ve had an increasing number of requests from our members to put less flexible jobs on our job board and more links to reputable ways of earning a per action income.
These are ways for anyone with access to the internet to perform an action on behalf of a client and in return get paid for that action. These actions could be data entry, taking a call, creating links, performing social media tasks, the list goes on. They offer the ultimate in flexibility because if you don’t do the work you don’t get paid – if you do you do. They can be dropped and picked up as you wish.
Help us to promote your flexible working needs
I did mention back in November that I was going to use members and readers as occasional guinea pigs – well here’s experiment 1. Phase II of global domination.
In a very dark room, where we keep our web programmers, a new website is being built to promote the ‘Supporting Parents In Business’ campaign as a standalone project.
Using various methods of guilt and hot-flushes we have managed to secure the support of many large firms from both sides of the Atlantic. Part of the deal being that they have to promote flexible work and post their flex jobs on hmp. In return they get a socially responsible pat on the back and the chance to put their logo on the site.
Why you’ll never get ‘that’ flexible job on a job board
From the title you may suspect that I’ve shot myself in the foot here. Yes hmp has a job board but not the type I’m talking about.
I was reading Seth Godin’s blog post Career fairs… and how they are the last resort for companies and job-seekers alike, and I realised that the giant job boards on the internet are just the same. A company needs to fill some drone position so they get HR to just throw up a description and chuck $400 at monster.com or careerbuilder.com. They don’t have to put any effort in, as long as you can string a sentence together you’ll do. Hell, all these big job boards even share the same database – stick the job on one it goes to the many.
What is Residual Income?
A very quick post today because I was going to write about residual income and during my research I came across Tina Adams’ blog. Residual Income: What It Is and How to Create It is a great blog post by Tina that gives details of what residual income is and her other blog posts go deeper into how to get it.
Residual Income has got a bit of a bad rap over recent years with certain unsavoury cabals of the internet world jumping on the band-wagon and using it to flog second rate products and multi-level marketing schemes, but the principle still holds water.
