medical coding training at home.
Looking to start a home based business?
In this article, I'll list some of the more popular ones. Do not take everything on this list as a personal endorsement from me.
I am a very successful home business owner who runs a private training service, so I have my own preferences, but in the interests of objectivity, I will be the first to admit that there are numerous opportunities out there in home business land.
OK, let's get into it....
1. Medical Transcriptionist - Some of these opportunities are legit and some aren't. To be sure, it is a real field, and there are some legit job offerings here. But scams abound as well. Some people will sell you expensive courses on how to become a medical transcriptionist and claim when you complete it, you'll be able to land that job from home--and they'll even help you--but that help often never materializes.
2. Web designer/Developer - This is a great job you can do at home. But there is a learning curve. You have to be willing to learn how to code and design. An artistic eye helps, too. In my training service, we retain the help and expertise of professional web designers that my students get to leverage off.
3. Freelance writer - Have good writing skills? Put them to use. You can go to elance.com and look for work ghostwriting content and articles for people. It's a competitive market, though, and it will take time to build up a great writing resume.
4. Affiliate Marketer - My personal favorite. This is a 7+ billion dollar industry and growing. Unlike many work at home job opportunities, affiliate marketing offers you unlimited upside income potential and the ability to generate strong passive income. The downside is it's pay for performance. So you must perform if you expect to get paid. But incomes of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and more have and will continue to be achieved by affiliate marketers, including the author of this article.
5. Virtual Assistant - If you've read Tim Ferriss's book "The 4-Hour Workweek," you'll see he advocates using virtual assistants. This will be a home based business opportunity that will grow in the years to come. If you become a virtual assistant, you will field emails, calls, and do scheduling for companies or individuals who are in need of such services.
Being an entrepreneurial minded person who doesn't like having bosses or income ceilings, I built my business around the affiliate marketing model and now even train students across the world to do the same, but any of the above are also potentially viable considerations.
Lastly, keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list of home based businesses. But it will give you some idea of what's out there.
