Welcome to October. I'm beginning to like bid madness because there is always an interesting assortment of green job listings. Go get your bid on!
Opps! These listings have expired! Check the home page for new jobs!

Good morning, today's green gigs look interesting. There are opportunities for 8 eco-bloggers, a graphic designer, a biologist located in the San Francisco area, and sustainability consultants. Enjoy your day!
You're looking for green job leads, aren't you? These were a little on the older side, but don't worry, there are new leads on our home page!
I recently signed on with Textbroker.com. I found Textbroker while looking for green writing gigs to post here and decided to apply and earn myself a little green. I like the concept of Textbroker: you register your information, provide a short writing sample, get "rated" as a writer, then gain access to their database of projects. For each project there is a short description, keywords, word count, and pay range. You can pick one project at a time and immediately choose another after submitting your article. You may only write articles rated at or below your rate level (2-lowest to 5-highest) and compensation directly corresponds to your level.
Once logged into Textbroker, I was able to view all the current projects available at my level rating and below. Although there is no "environment" or "green" specific category to choose from, there were a few greenish articles hiding in some of the other categories. The vast majority of the articles I was eligible to write paid between $2.00 - $4.00 for a few hundred words. And, of course, for this huge payout, you must sign over all your rights to your work. Authors can increase their ratings by completing several highly rated articles and thus increase their earnings as well. However, there is a catch, by my estimation (non-scientific!) about 75% of the articles available are listed as 2 stars, the lowest paying level. So even if you ultimately rank as a "five star" or "professional" writer, there are very few articles available at that "high" pay rate.
Will I be writing articles for Textbroker? Probably not. What about you? If you have experience working with Textbroker, let us know your opinion in the comments.

Here are today's green links to kick off the new work week. I listed a few green sales jobs, although they are commission only, they do appear to be home-based. Let 'em know Green Gigs sent you!
Darn! These links were dead! Don't worry, see that little "HOME" link up there? Click that to find some new job leads.
First off I would like to announce the first gig (that I know of!) has been landed through Green Gigs! I am very excited that someone found a green opportunity though this blog. If you get a gig through Green Gigs, please send me an email or post a comment. Here are a couple links for the weekend - best of luck.
These links are no more. But we still list new jobs on our home page!
Thank you to those who voted in the green sales poll. It was a split decision, so I will be democratic and list green sales jobs if and only if they appear to be truly green and home-based. Today offers green jobs for bloggers, writers, bloggers, PR people, and did I mention bloggers? May the green be with you.

Welcome to Wednesday bid madness. Today there are opportunities for freelance writers, bloggers, a "caller" - not to be confused with a salesperson apparently, and a researcher. Go get those green bids!
Bye bids. Check here for jobs that haven't expired!
Just one job posting this morning - be green.
And then there were none. But, wait, there are more green jobs to be had here!
I would like to start the week off by extending a warm Green Gigs thank you to EcoBusiness Links and The Super Green Pages for linking here. Once again, if you have linked to Green Gigs and I missed it, please send me an email so I can mention your site in the next round of acknowledgements! Also, a quick reminder to please place your vote in the poll on the right about green sales jobs listings.
Today's green job listings include opportunities for green writers, a research analyst, a civil engineer, a sales rep, and a GPS developer. A couple of the jobs have been posted on Green Gigs in the past, but they must be still looking since they were re-posted over the weekend. Good luck and have a green Monday!
What, no jobs?!?!?! These were past their prime, visit our home page for new gigs!
In my daily search for home-based green jobs to post on Green Gigs, I encounter "green sales" listings over and over again. I have declined to post sales jobs in the past for several reasons, including:
Today I am trying something different - below the normal green gig listings are links to a sampling of the "green sales" ads I have come across. My question for you is: Should Green Gigs list green sales jobs? They could be listed as part of the normal listings, as a separate listing as the bidding jobs are, or not listed at all. Please voice your opinion in the comments section or take the poll in the right column. Also, if you have sold or sell green products, let us know your take on the experience. Thank you for your input!
Old links gone. Click on "HOME" for new job listings!

Oh where, oh where have the job listings gone? These ones were too old but there are new ones here!

Slow...The first two gigs look like you need to be located in their respective states, but have telecommuting possibilities. I hemmed and hawed over adding the online science instructor gig, but given that most high school science courses have some environmental content, I decided to post it. Go get some green by being green!
Just because these jobs are no longer available, doesn’t mean new ones aren’t!
Good morning green job hunters. First, a quick shoutout to the folks at Green Jobs Network, Green Mom Finds, g2bgreen, and Nashua River Instruments (thanks Dad!) for linking to Green Gigs and helping launch this "green" blog. If you have linked to Green Gigs and I missed it, please send me an email, I will add you to the next round of shoutouts.
Down to business, this weekend's home-based, green jobs are a little sparse, but hopefully there is something of interest here for you. Hey, no one says you have to care about the environment and be broke, so go get a green gig!
Bye-bye dead links! Visit Green Gigs for new listings!
Here are today's green job posts. There are opportunities for green writers, an illustrator, an executive director located in the Gulf States, and an engineer located in the northwest. If you have to work, you might as well go green!
Hey, this post is old! The job links that used to be here were WAY out of date. Why not stop by our home page for new job links and resources!

Forever a somber day...
These job listings are not longer valid. Visit Green Gigs for new listings.
That is the question.
Are Elance, iFreelance, and GetAFreelancer your friends, foes, or third cousins you have never met? For the uninitiated, freelance bid sites work on free market principles at their best (or worst depending on how you look at it). Job posters list the details of the project for which they need freelancers, then freelancers submit their relevant information about why they would be perfect for the gig, along with their project "bids" - how much they will need to be paid to complete the gig. After the bidding closes, job posters may or may not choose an applicant based upon the bidder's experience, samples, and most of all, price.
Although this all sounds great in theory, I have never applied for a "bid" project, even with postings that look like a great match for my background. First and foremost, I find most of the price ranges listed for the job postings grossly underinflated. As a freelancer, I am usually appalled at the low offerings and know my bid price will be underbid by many others, therefore I don't bother applying. On the flip side, if you are starting out as a freelancer and setting your expectations low in hopes of building a portfolio and contacts, I can see the lure of bidding sites. However, I advocate setting your rate and sticking to it - don't undervalue your work, even for the perfect sounding gig.
What do you think? Are you a perpetual bidder or do you avoid bidding sites like the plague? Voice your opinion by taking the poll on the right. You know how I feel about bidding sites, yet I understand that some folks use them on a regular basis. As a compromise I am considering adding green gigs from bidding sites as a weekly feature, separate from normal green gig listings. So if bidding sites are your friend or you want to give them a try, here are some green friendly bidding links - enjoy, and let me know what you think!
I certainly wouldn't bid on these gigs, they're gone!
Good morning green friends! There's a nice variety of green gigs today, including listings for engineers, GIS analysts, LEED reviewers, editors, photographers, and graphic designers. Best of luck!
You really wanted to apply for these jobs?!?!? They’re so old they’re gone. Here are some new jobs!
Good morning - Today's green gigs include leads for a movable type expert, environmental professionals, an environmental journalist, and textbook help. Best of luck!
Just because these jobs are no longer available, doesn’t mean new ones aren’t!
Just a few listings this weekend - go green!
Bye-bye dead links! Visit Green Gigs for new listings!
Mostly gigs for green writers today. There are lots of green sales listings, but I am passing up posting them since it is difficult to tell which ones are legit. I am also not listing jobs that are revenue only or "internships", in hopes of helping you land a paying gig. Hope your dream green job is here! Drop me an email if you land a job posted on Green Gigs!
Hey, this post is old! The job links that used to be here were WAY out of date. Why not stop by our home page for new job links and resources!
Here are a few green leads for today...happy hunting.
You really wanted to apply for these jobs?!?!? They’re so old they’re gone. Here are some new jobs!
Just a couple green writing gigs this morning. Hopefully the week will pick up now that the holiday is over. Happy job hunting!
Yikes! These jobs had expired!
When gas prices really began to rise earlier this year, we examined our monthly budget looking for ways to save money and make our lives “greener”. One of the biggest changes we made was my husband switched from driving fifty miles round trip to work and back each day to telecommuting three days a week. In addition, we greened our lives by installing a clothesline, placing a rain barrel at the downspout of the gutter, and swapping most of our incandescent lights with florescent bulbs. These changes may be fairly minor, but the quality of our lives is better since my husband is home more and as a bonus, we have seen a drop in our electric and gas bills.
During this Labor Day weekend job lull, I am providing links to four sites that promote green living. If you have a blog that specializes in green living or telecommuting that you would like to shamelessly self-promote, send me an email and I will take a look at it!
Just because these jobs are no longer available, doesn’t mean new ones aren’t!
