With good typing skills and an eye for detail you could work as a discussion forum moderator. Forum moderator jobs are a realistic full or part time typing job that you can do from home.
A forum or discussion forum is a type of website where people go to discuss different topics. Forums are generally on specific topics such as gardening or fishing. It's a bit like a site where lots of people post messages and lots of people read and respond to those messages.
As you can imagine, if you have a forum with hundreds or thousands of visitors it can get quite hectic. This is why they need forum moderators. A moderators job is to maintain order and help out the forum members. Job description can vary and usually include you having to be actively involved in the forum rather than just policing the messages that are posted.
If this sounds like your kind of job and you have never set foot inside a forum then you are going to have to get some experience first. This is so you know the terminology and really understand how forums tick. There is no point doing an interview and not being able to answer any of the questions.
Another good reason to join a forum first and participate is that you have some practical experience that you can show a potential employer. If someone is going to give a moderator job to someone they are going to consider people with experience first as they know you can hit the ground running.
The good news is that there are literally thousands of forums on the internet covering many different topics. Some have membership levels in the millions whilst other may only have a few hundred members.
If you are looking for something part time then you can approach forums directly and offer your services. Newer forums may not want to employ someone straight away so why not offer to post messages on the forum and charge them on a per message basis. It is a good way to get started and if you can type fast a great way to maximize your skills.
So where can you get these types of job. To get you started here is a short list of agencies with job listings.
I would however encourage you to join a few forums to start off with, just search for the topic you are interested in followed by the word forum from your favourite search engine. Choose one that you are interested, if you are a mum you may want to join a parenting forum.
