You may be retired, unemployed, disabled, laid-off, under-employed (insufficient income) or just bored with your job...there are a plethora of reasons you may be considering working at home.
That reason may simply be that you wish to take back control of your life and your time.
With more people everyday opting out of the "9 to 5" and opting in to being their own boss, let's take a closer look at Working At Home.
Is working at home for everyone?
Perhaps not. Working at home requires a fair amount of diligence and discipline. If you need the structure of a boss and a timeclock, this isn't your best bet. Having said that; however, there is no reason you couldn't "dip your toe in the water," so to speak, and try working at home on a part-time basis or for a second income.
Can I make real money working at home?
ABSOLUTELY! You'll need to choose wisely (working at home is NOT a get-rich-quick endeavor, despite the scammers leading you to believe otherwise). There are many ways to create a full-time income while working at home.
I haven't considered working at home. Why would I?
While you are missing the visual of me rolling my eyes as I type "duh," the benefits of working at home ROCK!!! They include (but are not limited to):
*Control of your life and your time
*Ability to spend more time with family
*Alarm clock? No, thank you!
*Every day can be a "snow day!"
*No longer missing out on activities or events because of work
*Time management gets better daily
*Stress-free zone
*Control over your income
Working at home sounds awesome! How do I start?
As I've stated, there are many ways to create a full-time income while working at home. Plenty of people sell things on sites like Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, and other e-commerce sites. If you already have product to sell, these are excellent platforms.
Have a certain knowledge or skill? Sell it! Online classes and/or consulting services are popular ways to make make cash online just by sharing your specialty field of knowledge.
Try freelancing. Writers, photographers, artists, and many others know that there are a massive number of websites where freelancers of all sorts meet up with the business who need them most.
I don't have product, special skills or a niche knowledge, but I'd still like to work at home.
For you, Affiliate Marketing may be the way to go. Businesses pay you (the affiliate) to bring them customers or sell their products. Affiliate Marketing can be incredibly lucrative. You are selling products/services BUT you don't have to worry about inventory, overhead, shipping, or payment processing.
That is someone else's headache.
If Affiliate Marketing sounds right for you, I will strongly urge you to consider checking out this site in particular.

I happen to be active with BOTH of these companies, and I love, Love, LOVE what I do!
I am able to be home for my children and enjoy time with them, I am my own boss, and I have taken back control of my life!
Time with your loved ones is a precious commodity. If you have the option of working at home, do it!
