What do I like about working at home? I like the time freedom; I
still have to do the things necessary for building my business but I can
choose when I do them. There is no commuting, and I choose my
surroundings, I can work anywhere with my laptop. As we are wintering in
Spain I can work on the beach, on the patio or in my office.
Because
my business is my choice I feel motivated and enjoy working on it. I
think my partner gets irritated at the time I have my nose in my laptop,
or my pen in my hand, or I am absently planning the next newsletter or
article. It is lucky he is most happy when he is involved in some sport
like squash paddle tennis, swimming or cycling or watching it on TV.
If
you have a family and possibly school commitments, a house to run and
people to look after. Shopping dentists visits etc. working at home
could make your life easier. The only commuting you will need to do is
from one room to another! No snowy dark mornings to disrupt your travel.
Working
online can be simple to set up, it offers a low-cost start, but like
all businesses it does takes time to build a replacement income for your
job, so don't sack the boss just yet!
Do some research into what
you are passionate about that could create a business. Take a look at
book stores and magazine racks for ideas. Look at YouTube and make some
Google searches.
There are things you can do online: import and
sell paintings, open a store, sell on eBay, typing for businesses, paid
surveys, or home based businesses such as wedding photos, photographing
pets and children, organising events or children's parties; maybe
setting up a poodle parlour. However if long-term you want to make
serious money I suggest you learn affiliate marketing.
Learn from
the experts affiliate marketing with the help of a mentor is the
simplest way to start online. Your coach or mentor provides excellent
products plus sales pages and training. So although it does take awhile
to replace your income you start earning whilst you are learning the
techniques. You can work part-time or become a super affiliate, there
are also many millionaires in the industry, the choice is yours. You
just need the desire to learn and the determination to stick with it.
So
are you brave enough to start a hobby business and build it to sizeable
income, to enjoy the freedom of time and location, working anywhere
with your laptop.
