In yesterday’s post, we discussed the importance of knowing what kind of work at home job you’re looking for and we even offered you a quiz to help you get started. We also offered you a few tips for how to search for work at home jobs for moms online. If you are just tuning in, we encourage you go read part one of this series before going any further.

Now, continuing where we left off, here are a few more ways that you can find work at home jobs for moms on your own:

Going Direct

If you have an idea of the exact type of work at home job that you’re looking for, consider making a list of companies that may offer telecommute positions. Often, you’ll find that companies don’t advertise jobs in classified ads, but list them on their company website instead. Visit their sites regularly and check their ‘careers’ or ‘jobs’ sections while keeping an eye out for possible work at home positions.

Job Aggregators

Of course, checking job boards, like Monster or HotJobs is a good idea, too. However, this can be a time consuming task if going one by one to large job sites. Instead, try sites that aggregate results from these and make it a part of your daily routine to check them out. Some of the ones that we like are Indeed.com or SimplyHired.com, but there are a ton of others that you can explore during your search.

Social Networking

Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and others can be a great source for job searches. Not only can you network with other home workers, but opportunities for work at home jobs for moms are often posted or mentioned on these sites.

We have a growing list of other work at home mom sites listed in our sidebar. After you’ve checked our job listings and read through any news that we’ve updated, you may want to take a gander at some of our friend’s sites to see what’s new there.

A Work at Home Job or a Home-Based Business?

After looking for employers who hire employees to work at home, you’ll undoubtedly run across home-based business opportunities. Perhaps it’s time to reassess what it is that you’d like to do. Unless you’re working for a commission, having an employer means that you’re guaranteed a wage for the time that you spend working. Owning your own home-based business, however, doesn’t guarantee you a salary, but there is the unlimited income potential, as well as the freedom and flexibility to do what you want, when you want. Often, there’s an investment involved in owning your own business, but there are a ton of opportunities out there.

Whether you decide on a work at home job or a small business opportunity, knowing how to find what you’re looking for is crucial. Continue to visit the Work at Home Mom Center for information and resources that you can use while you’re looking for a gig and even after you’ve secured one. We’ll always do our best to offer you tips, advice and leads to help make your work at home mom experience the best that it can be.
