Should I Add a WAHI Job Board? (A Poll)

 I have noticed a marked increase in searches over time for variations of Work at Home. Along with this up swing, clicks on various links (like the Work at Home Category) within the Blog seem to be pointing in the direction of people looking for different Work at Home Opportunities.

As I hope most of you know already, I try to provide the most useful information to help those who already have a Home Business. But, I may not have done enough for those who have the desire and/or need to Work at Home.

To that end, I am seriously considering starting a WAHI Job Board and I would like your opinion on the usefulness it may provide the Future Home Business Entrepreneur.

I appreciate your input on this (both new visitors and friends that have been with me since forever).

This is going to take a lot of work, but hopefully it will add a bit more value to this community. Please take a second to vote on this, it may help us help others who need a way to make some money from home.

If you have a Work at Home job opportunity you would like to be included please e-mail me at joe [at] workingathomeinternet [dot] com. First Month Posting will be Free for those who contact me before April 15, 2008.

All Job Postings need to be approved by me, if it passes muster, you’re in.
