Default I'm looking for work

Isn't everyone? lol
Our bread & butter (residential framing) isn't working out these days so I am looking for supplemental income in between my own order filling. I run a wahm business right now that I consider a little better than part time. I have 1-2 babies here every weekday as well so I am looking for something that doesn't require phone calls, door to door, parties, etc. I have a lot of experience dabbling in a little bit of everything online from writing to light photoshop skills to Wordpress. I've played around with Joomla, vbulletin, know basic html, basic Quickbooks skills, love deal finding and internet research & more. I don't consider myself an expert at any of these things though.

If you are looking for someone to take on some of your extra work, repetitive tasks that you don't like to do or know of an opportunity (not a home party plan) that you think would work well for me, please let me know.

A good tip I learned is to look on Craigslist in the gigs section. Quite often you can find ads there that people don't even know exist.

Scottie, is this for real? Are you really making this kind of $$? I briefly checked out the website, is there training fees, if so what kind of fee is involved? Did you go through this program?

Thanks for your help.

Default RE I'm Looking for Work

I have worked in the VBA industry for 5 years. Although you can make a decent income, you must keep in mind you are self employed and your income depends on the individuals filing for bankruptcy.

If bankruptcy filings are down, guess what, so is your business.

Also, it depends on the attorney(s) you work with. If they do not do high volume or bankruptcy is not their first practice, you probably will not make a steady income. Again, everything depends on the individuals filing for bankruptcy.

Those who have done this for 5 years or more, know this is a tough career to get started. Training is crucial. You must have a good grasp of the bankruptcy local rules where you prepare petitions.

The National Society of Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants does a great job of marketing their members to Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.

To date, they are the only organization invited as an Exhibitor at Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney Conventions and Conferences. One of which is NACBA (National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys). They have been an Exhibitor since 2008. They are well known, well respected and well connected in the bankruptcy community.

Check it out....

You can go to craigslist, freelance and/or elance.

Fiverr is also a good choice to offer some gigs.
