Types Of Work At Home Opportunities

Hello Folks and welcome to a blog on the different ways and what you can do to earn an income from the internet. You are here because of an article you read or perhaps you where referred by a friend. You might even have come across an advert like the one below. What matters is why you're here.

Maybe you thought you could have a part-time income from an online job. Maybe you dreamed of having a full time online career. Maybe you just wanted a work from home opportunity that would get you out of debt. It doesn't really matter how you got here.

You are here because you want to work from home. You are here because you want to have your own business. You are here because you are sick and tired of the unemployment queue. You are here because you're retired and the pension doesn't stretch near far enough for you to have a comfortable lifestyle.

As I said it doesn't really matter how you got here. But to stop the same old questions I get asked on a daily basis such as - "How can I make money" and "what do I need to do to earn that money" and "what are the drawbacks of running my own business".

Now that you are here and hopefully landed on this blog I will outline a few online opportunities in answer to those questions.

First of all many people like yourself would love to be able to work at home, but like you they aren’t really sure what their options are. If you’ve been trying to find a way to earn enough income while still being able to work from home, first you must figure out what type of opportunity you are looking for. Here are four different ways that you can work from home. The first one is perhaps not directly relevant but I thought I should start of with this one.

Telecommuting Job– You can have a “regular” job, with set hours. You work for an employer, and the only difference between this and the jobs that most people have is that you will be working from home. Some plusses: You have the set pay, benefits, and hours you would have working a “regular” job, and you can work at home. Minuses are that you are still working for another company, so you have set hours, and vacation time.

Buying a Franchise – If you are interested in a business, but don’t want to start from scratch, you can buy a franchise. You will own that particular business, and be one of many in the franchise. You will run the business and everything in it, but in return for your payments, you get the use of an established name, training, advertising, etc. Plusses: You still own your own business, but will get the benefit of help from others in the same business as you. You will also receive shared advertising. Minuses: It is your own business, so you have no set pay. You have to pay a franchise fee, and sometimes monthly or yearly royalty fees.

Direct Selling – This is where you join a direct sales company, such as Avon, Tupperware, Mary Kay, etc. and start to sell their products. You set your own hours, and usually there is only a small payment (if any) in order to sell for a certain direct selling company. Plusses: You can work when you want, and take whatever time off that you want. There are also others in the same situation, so you can talk to them about ideas or get help. Minuses: You have no set pay, and depending on the company, there may be many others selling the same thing you are.

Starting Your Own Business – This is when you decide to do something completely on your own. It can be almost anything, online or off-line but you are not tied to another company in any way. This gives you total control as to what you do, and how you do it. Plusses: You are on your own, so you don’t have to answer to anyone. You work your own hours, take off when you want, etc. Minuses: You have no set pay. You are pretty much on your own, since this business belongs completely to you. The one thing you MUST HAVE though is a PLAN. Without it you might as well not start.

Decide which of the above seems most interesting to you. It is a tough decision, but hopefully this gives you direction to find a good fit for your skills.

Ok folks I have put it a simply as I could so hopefully less questions now. I don't mind in the least answering them if I can. Hopefully with this blog I have given you an idea or two.

Please leave a comment below if you have any ideas of your own.

Meanwhile have a great day and I wish you nothing but success in your efforts to have your own business.
