My husband mentioned it maybe a year ago, but I wasn’t sure how. Linktree has made it so simple and easy though, I’ve decided to give it a try. I’m sure when it comes to affiliate promotion there’s some kind of deal being offered, so I can’t say for certain the deals I found are incredible–but I will say they seemed pretty good to me. The deals for first timers are always best, but the way I see it, I take the deal because then maybe I’ll end up loving whatever I signed up for or what the products are. But at least with affiliate marketing I’m not spending fifty of more bucks trying to make money! It feels like I’ve started to make a career out of looking for a job. I’ve learned to watch out for scam jobs, found a handful of other sites where remote jobs are listed. You’re not more likely to find a job whether you pay for it or not. I’ve foolishly spent over five hundred trying to find a job–grant it, it didn’t seem like a lot in the increments that I paid, and I honestly thought I would end up getting a job.
Proofreading Acadamy: don’t bother signing up for. The price, even when discounted is not really worth it. All the jobs I saw posted (which you can only apply for if part of the academy) can be found on Upwork. They also require you to go through a course, but it’s super easy. This was most expensive, even when discounted.
Writers Work: a one-time fee of fifty for lifetime access. It’s not very beneficial if you’re looking to proofread, but for copywriters and editors there’s plenty of listings.
FlexJobs and remotejobs.io: both have a monthly or yearly fee. I was unable to get a remote job on either, but I also lack a lot of qualifications. I chose not to go to college, so I only applied for jobs that offered training. But others that have the right qualifications might have better luck because there were many jobs listed.
Monster and Indeed: both free. While I was not able to find remote jobs on these sites either for the same reasons as previously stated, I would recommend both if you’re job hunting but don’t want to spend money.
Finally, Backstage: monthly or a yearly fee. I paid for yearly, and it was about a hundred. I was mainly looking for voiceover jobs, but for those that are content creators, it might be worthwhile if you’re looking for a bit of money on the side. There are actually quite a few jobs on there that can be done right from home.
These aren’t affiliates, just thought I’d share if anyone else is looking for work. This is a link to my deals (affiliates): http://linktr.ee/mikaelangeens
I’m still a travel agent, but that’s a slow ship. I’ve discovered I enjoy making flyers on Canva. So at least there’s that while I wait for people looking for a travel agent.
