 RESEARCHING
WORK AT HOME:
What I've Learned In the Last 12
Years

Finding
your legitimate online business is becoming one of the
best ways to earn an extra income. Many moms are
turning to this popular alternative in order to bring in a paycheck
and spend more time with their children. Can't blame them!
Could work at home be your career? An internet job isn't as
far fetched anymore. Companies post job offers all the time,
that's job information that YOU need to know!
Just the basics of living have become so costly that
many can't even afford to buy a house in this day and age.
Keeping the lights on, the phone on and food on table are
starting to feel like luxuries with the income crunch.
I've been there. I was a FULL time Radio
personality
(which I have a 4 year degree for). Even with
the degree, experience and references.....I was making LESS
than $20,000 a year doing the morning show by myself! I was
given no benefits either. I brought in about $225 a week and
daycare was $90! This was supposed to be the glamorous job
I'd gone to school for and the life I had dreamed of....it
was hardly that. With my paycheck and my husband's we were
living paycheck to paycheck.
After my second child, I
stayed one more year like this and when the station I was
with went off the air....so did I! But I still needed to
make money some how! I decided to research telecommuting and
find other ways to make that the $400 a month I needed for
our budget. That $400 was bare minimums too. There would be
no ordering pizza or renting movies. It would be a TIGHT
budget. I'm going to suggest here, that you give yourself a
little cushion - because it sucks not having ANY money left
over.
What I've Learned About Work at Home:
- Don't put all your eggs in one "work at home" basket!
Think multiple streams of income.
- Apply for a work at home job with a resume and cover
letter - like any other job.
- Don't expect to make $40,000 a year. It will be less
in most cases.
- Adjust your budget before you quit your regular job.
See what it's like.
- Direct Sales companies ask for start up fees! Deal
with it. This is typical and reasonable. They are great
ways to make money at home if you're ambitious and take it
seriously! Whiners need not sign up because it does take
ambition and gumption to build a business like this!
- Be leery of "make money fast" programs. Yes-there are
many legit ones -but
you'll want to be extra savvy
researching.
- It can be lonely working at home... have a network of
friends and activities.
- It can be hard on your child(ren). They get lonely and
bored too. Make sure you are ready with things to
entertain them and maybe even playgroups.
- Be ready to be pulled in a million directions - work
at home is for the multi-tasker.
- If you're going the "create a website" route -be
original. Simply copying someone else's concept or
material is a no-no. Eventually it'll catch up with you
and maybe even get your site banned.
- Create a work at home job! Look around your
community for ideas. Day care, typing service, errand
service etc. For example - if you're a paralegal in an
office right now - maybe you could be one at home for an
attorney more open to telecommuting? Lawyers aren't the
only ones turning to virtual assistants!
