Just how are online job openings and regular jobs different? Well, "regular jobs" are time-based and require one to be physically present. For instance if you get employment at McDonalds, you have to:

A. Show up at a certain time, willing to work.

B. You have to be presentable, which means outfitted as well as groomed in a manner suitable for the job and the public contact your job requires.

C. Your pay is generally time-based; you're paid by the hour or week or month that you will be there working or ready to work.

D. Your supervisor is charged with making certain you make an appearance, appear presentable and in fact work during the time you will be "clocked in"

Web-based jobs, online job openings, are results-based and deadline-based. Consequently nobody cares about how you look, how (or even if) you're dressed or what hours you work. They care only about what you get done. The number of surveys you completed, the number of blog postings you made or the number of my space and face book bookmarks you placed -- whatever it had been you were contracted to do.

When you apply for jobs online, no one cares whether you work mornings, afternoons or nights. That's typically your choice. If your job was to write ten articles on "Artichoke hearts" and deliver them by midday on Friday, they do not care when or where you wrote the articles or if you shaved and took a bath or not. All they are concerned about is that you have the articles there, with acceptable format and quality, by or before midday on Friday.

With a "regular job" for a "bricks and mortar" company/business, it is about showing up on time, making a good appearance and doing work during the prescribed hours.

In an Internet job (real online job), it's all about that which you gotten done and whether you met your deadlines or not.

Oh, and when you work for a bricks and mortar company you have to make an appearance at a specific time and place on payday so you can get your check or your pay envelope. Should you work on the internet your cash earned is deposited in your PayPal account and you can access it using a debit card at any ATM, from any location, at any hour.

Not to mention that when you are making money on the internet you save all the costs and time of commuting, buying and maintaining appropriate clothing, self-grooming to your boss' standards and also the necessity of getting along with other employees.
