Crissy Gipson
Crissy started her
telecommuting job search in 2003, because
the job market in her field was scarce in
the area that she lived in. She looked to
the internet to find jobs that she could do
to help bring in income while she stayed at
home.
Due to her internet researching ability, she
found loads of information online that
helped point her in the right direction to
locate a job in her field. She was able to
find telecommuting jobs, that she had the
right qualifications for, quite quickly. The
internet provided her with the information
needed to land those jobs.
Crissy relied pretty heavily on various
website message boards and word of mouth to
find her telecommuting jobs. She wasn’t
afraid to ask many questions of the members
of the message board communities that she
visited. Crissy utilized these communities
to research companies and figure out if some
jobs were scams.
She states that the best message board
communities to check out are “established
message boards with members who have been
working from home for a while.” Crissy says
her reasoning for this is “There are a lot
of other new people out there and if you
fall into a message board that is full of
new people, you can get misinformation.”
Crissy states she’s never been scammed as of
yet, but she has come across some along the
way in her telecommuting job search. She
also has dealt with a lot of misinformation
from others on message board communities
that would hinder her researching some as
she found them to be information that was
incorrect.
It is now about 5 years that she has been
working from home. She has spent those years
helping others with their online businesses.
She has done many various tasks, such as
writing and setting up their sales pages,
writing press releases, distributing
articles to create some buzz, creating
informational products and much more.
She earns enough to help her husband with
the household family income. She says she
isn’t quite making the same as her hubby
just yet, but she does make more than the
local companies who have, in the past,
offered her to work for them.
Crissy offers her advice to others who are
struggling in their work from home search;
which is, “Just keep looking. There really
are jobs out there that you can work from
home. It may take a while to find one that
really suits your skills and personality,
but once you do find it, it’ll be worth the
time and effort you put into the search.”
