Part-time work-at-home IT jobs?

gunbunnysoulja

Hello,

I'm currently in a Full-Time work at home IT position, which I love, and I'm looking for additional supplemental income in another WAH IT part-time capacity. I'd found a few options online, but many are not flexible from a scheduling perspective (looking for evenings/weekends).

Does anyone know of any viable part-time Work @ Home IT opportunities?

Iris mentioned something call On-Call awhile back. IIRC, you can pick up gigs where you drive to someone's home, fix their problem, and drive back for $75 or so. There are also sites offering remote jobs on a contract basis. They won't care when you work as long as you finish on time. Note, you will be competing with people in foreign countries.

Thanks for the reply. I checked out the company Iris posted previously however I live in a remote area so I would have to drive a good distance to get gigs. I'd prefer to keep it strictly WAH. Remote jobs on a contract basic would be great.

You can try odesk.com especially if you have any programming or web design skills.

Yup, that would be one of the popular remote contracting sites. You can snag rates of $100/hr here and there for a few hours of specialty work, but the long-term gigs mostly seemed closer to $40/hr. That didn't seem particularly worth it to me, especially given you had to bid on such jobs, but everyone's life situation here is a bit different and maybe it'll work for you.

Well, depending on circumstances and such, this could be pushing the edge of what is ethical, but why limit your search to part-time gigs? You have already found a full-time WAH position... maybe look for another. You are at home and could multi task... and if things are flexible, you can get in all of your hours.

Personally, I don't see a problem with this unless you are committing fraud. Anyhow, food for thought.

Another idea is just to do things yourself. Find some company that wants some additional support for mundane tasks and offer it remotely. There are all kinds of organizations and they have different needs. Perhaps they have staff that has a skill level beyond entry-level but they don't want a full-time entry-level person on the books. You could remotely log in, check logs, backups, etc... things that many people do not tend to enjoy when they have the option of higher value work. Offer it as a flat fee monthly service based on the number of hours you anticipate spending.

I used to use OnForce, WorkMarket and ServiceLive when I lived in bigger areas and got pretty steady work from those three alone. Then I added Elance.com, oDesk.com and Guru.com and just started 100% remote freelance. If you're wanting to work for a company you might check out PlumChoice, not enterprise IT but I worked on their team that handled AT&T ConnecTech stuff as a residential help desk tech and to me $14 an hour with bills totaling $120 a month was really nice. They usually hire through staffing agencies and I went through Technisource so you might check that out.

Yep, Elance and oDesk are great sites for what you are looking for!

You could always post an ad on craigslist for "services" (and no not computer)
