medical coding training at home.
So you are exploring the possibility of working from home! Good for you, you are not alone. There are literally millions of other people looking for legitimate work from home job opportunities they could pursue from the comfort of their own homes. Your reasons for wanting to do this may be varied: to stay home with young children, a physical impairment or illness, retirement, or just fed up with the rat race!
Whatever your reasons are, I am sure that if you explore the possibilities carefully and with realistic expectations, you can find just the right (legitimate) work from home job for you!
Now where to get started?
Working at home - offline job possibilities.
Sell your knowledge, skills, or experience: consulting, bookkeeping, medical transcription or billing.
Disadvantages: You need to fund your own training and equipment, find clients, work when it suits them, rather than you, physically demanding, mentally tedious or boring.
Open a business in your home: hair salon, childcare.
Disadvantages: You might need to alter your home. You work full-time hours, when your clients need you. You fund your own training and equipment; must have insurance, and adhere to complicated health and safety codes.
Make own product or crafts to sell: quilts, candles, crafts, baked goods.
Disadvantages: you can only sell as much as you can make, labor intensive/ low profits; marketing is very time consuming
Catalog sales: like Avon.
Disadvantages: Lots of travel; need to keep stock; requires good "salesmanship" skills; wardrobe
Party plans: Tupperware, Usborne books.
Disadvantages: Difficult hours; evening parties; salesmanship involved
MLM: Amway, Herbalife.
Disadvantages: These can be lucrative, but it involves tons of hard work. You must become a "pest" urging your "downline" members to continue buying high-priced products. Not my cup of tea!
Although these legitimate work from home job options can be very successful, they are also very demanding and inconvenient. You must really hustle to make a decent living from them. Good hard work is honorable, and I admire your energy and determination if you make a go of one of these plans.
But honestly, these work-from-home opportunities don't offer a whole lot of advantages over a traditional outside job, and the pressures to perform may even prove more stressful! You might as well go back to your cubicle at the office and enjoy the fringe benefits and coffee breaks!
So now you may be thinking: "There has to be a better, more family-friendly way to make a buck."
So you turn to online income options.
Wow! When you turn to the internet in search of flexible work to do at home, you are bombarded! The Internet is jam-packed with get-rich-quick scams, "failsafe" offers, "foolproof" money-makers, seductive "experts". The clamor on the Web is deafening. And some of that noise is highly, dangerously persuasive. It is only too easy to end up confused, anxious and bewildered. It's even easier to lose two very precious things- your money and your time.
What you will find if you investigate these programs carefully is that once they have you hooked into their system, they want to sell you more and more stuff! This is a good way to make money, true, but not for you, for them! Steer clear of systems which "sound too good to be true", because they are.
Now here is a rundown of the usual online jobs being offered today:
Telecommuting: typing, customer service calls, data entry (only a very few are legitimate, and there is fierce competition for those very few "real" jobs.) If you do find a legitimate online typing job, you will find that the quotas required are absurd. You will spend long hours cramped in front of your computer, trying to hand in enough work to help pay the bills. The hours are often inflexible, wages very low and if you aren't there pounding away, you don't get paid!
Online Services: Taking surveys, reading emails, web research, surfing (Beware! These are all scams or pyramid schemes). Please ignore the ads that promise thousands per week on the internet. There really is no GRQ (get rich quick) plan out there which works. Trust me, I know it sounds great, and can be very seductive, but they just don't work! Those folks have absolutely nothing of value to offer, they just want YOUR money.
Auction sales: eBay: The competition for customers on eBay is cutthroat, as eBay shoppers are basically looking for the best price only. Packing and shipping is labor-intensive. You just cannot beat the power seller's price on new goods, and the amount of time you spend looking for that rare "find" at a yard sale could be better spent elsewhere.
Where?
The most common-sense and effective legitimate work from home job plan I have found for making money on the internet is this: build a web business via a theme-based content site. This is very do-able, very affordable, and I know it works, because I have done it!
Here are the advantages to this plan:
*Start from scratch with little start-up money.
*Total flexibility of hours. No boss, no time clock to punch.
*Don't need an actual product to sell; you can earn money as an infopreneur.
*Makes money while you are away from your computer; residual income.
*Not a GRQ scheme, but a long-term business that will grow over time.
This might be just the solution you are looking for! For more details about this viable home-based income plan, check out Stella's free report below.
