5 Minutes for Mom Job Board

Everyone has different reasons for deciding to work from home, but when you decide to work from home as a freelancer, getting started could end up being what makes you decide to retreat to the formal workforce again.

When I first started working from home, I know that I would not have been able to stay afloat for more than two months, never mind four years, without the help of some truly amazing friends. I was lucky, but a lot of women aren’t so lucky when it comes to getting up and started as a home-based entrepreneur.

So where do you go to get your first opportunities? When you finish your first job, what’s next, where do you go from there and where do you get more freelance gigs?

5 Minutes for Mom, a tremendously popular community for moms, recently added a job board to the website. The job board pulls in project listings from all of the top job board and websites for freelancers to find opportunities to help moms find real work at home opportunities. The opportunities the job board pulls up are from sites including Elance, Freelancer.com, ScriptLance.com, among others.

After looking through the job board I found that most of the opportunities look legitimate and could very well end up being worthwhile opportunities to keep your work day full and exciting. There are a few of them that look more than a little suspicious, but not too many and I think they’re pretty easy to spot so you won’t be wasting your time. What I really like about this site is that instead of going to all of the freelance sites you can find individually and searching through countless categories, this job board pulls in all of the relevant job opportunities and makes them easy to find in one place.

If you’re looking for legitimate work at home opportunities, you should definitely check out the 5 Minutes for Mom Job Board.
