WAH Jobs
After answering lots of request and giving out the best work at home resources several times a day for WAH jobs, I thought it would just be easier to put up a page for everyone to see my favorite opportunities. I would love your feedback if you’ve already tried these resources or after you’ve given them a good shot.
So many of us have moved towards the non-traditional methods of making money away from the 9-5 crowd. This is partly due to the fact that we see our degreed friends and family losing their ‘secure’ jobs and in the same boat as the guy with a GED. Who wants to be dependant on your boss’ mood that day or whether or not your CFO made sound financial decisions to see if you have a job at the end of the day? You hear over and over again how so many families this past year have lost 40%-60% of their household income. That’s just devastating.
There are so many available resources and methods for you to work at home and not only make a good living, but a great one.
Here’s the Truth
Working at home is almost exactly like you deciding to open up a brick & mortar business, without most of the expenses. You have to be self-motivated, disciplined, have good work & personal ethics and have the finances to carry you through the developing stages. No one will write you up for being late, sleeping in or not getting a job done on time. The other side to that story is that your business will fail or not even launch, much like a brick & mortar business if you don’t hold yourself accountable, because no one else will.
Though over 80% of folks who open up a brick & mortar business fail within the 1st year, statistics show that over 90%of those who work via the Internet will fail.
The Catch
If you don’t work at this wholeheartedly & full time, you may not be able to launch yourself or it may take years to really get going. On the other hand, you may be not be able to feed your family if you delve into it and not have a back up financial plan in place while you’re getting yourself started.
The Rewards
Autonomy. Financial freedom. Work that you are passionate about. Low overhead. Oh and did I mention financial freedom???
Resources:
Data Entry/Writing/Editing/Affiliate Marketing
A program that gives you a comprehensive list and training for 4 types of at home telecommute jobs. Here’s my review on My Data Team. They’re the best I’ve seen so far & they have everything in one place along with tons valuable free tools included in their programs. Let me know how you like this one.
Customer Service
The following are reputable companies that have been around a while and have great opportunities to be an at home ‘call center’ agent. A couple of these companies will require an up front fee for your back ground screening, or may require purchase of specific equipment to be compatible with their systems, but they’re completely legit. The pay ranges from $7-$30+ per hour.
BSG – Third Party Verification
Surveys
You can get started today. You are paid $5-$125 for each survey. It won’t make you rich overnight, but you will give yourself a raise since you can work your own hours and cut out the commute and child care costs immediately! These are the best surveys I found so far.
Skype Prime Guru
Become a Skype Prime Advisor and set your own rates for your expertise. The most requested topics are love & relationships, however if you are great at tech support, I’m looking at techs that are charging $1-$2.50 per minute of support!
New Resources
I will continue to add resources as I find them. You may see in depth reviews on some of these products on my site.
