Working and earning cash from home can be a dream, but it can also be a reality. You can be skeptical of the real ways of earning money by working at home, but they do exist. Here are some of them :
Buying a Home Business: There are four ways to buy a business. Buy an existing home business from a home business owner. Buy a franchise home business. Buy a business opportunity. Buy a direct sales business, which can include multi-level marketing. In terms of buying a business, one of the best values and potential profitability is direct sales. Unfortunately, there are many myths and misconceptions that prevent some people from considering a home business in direct sales. While there are MLM scams you need to watch out for, you can also avoid them with research. To be a direct sales success, it’s important to pick a company with products you believe in, and also to make sure you have a complete understanding of what’s involved. Avoid making common mistakes, such as not reading the contract or not loving the products.
eNeighbor: Maybe you’ve already secured your stay at home job and are looking for a way to make even more money. Well, if you consider your neighbors like family and they trust you enough to help them out while they’re at work, sign up up for eNeighbr. The site allows you to accept and hold shipments for your neighbors when they’re away, so items don’t get stolen. Every eNeighbr is verified and each package is insured up to $300, so they can relax knowing that your belongings are in good hands.
Don’t let friends stop by. Dana Marlowe, principal partner of the Silver Spring, Maryland-based IT accessibility consulting firm Accessibility Partners, uses lunch as a time to meet with friends and if they show up at her house she politely tells them she’s working. “Boundaries are only as effective as they are enforced,” she says. Catherine Simms, co-founder of Stamford, Connecticut-based pet accessories company Whiner & Diner, also avoids drop-in visitors. “I just tell them that it is not a good time [and] over the weekend would be better,” she says. She also instructs them to call first to see if she’s home. Then when they do she doesn’t pick up, at least during work hours. Read more details on Popular Work-from-hope Programs.
Another popular freelance platform is Fiverr. It’s similar to Upwork as you can get paid to do just about any task where the completed work can be delivered electronically and setting up a profile here gives you additional exposure to potential freelance clients. Fiverr gets its name from the fact the freelancers can charge $5 (or more) per gig. For select tasks, some sellers charge up to $10,000 per task. Now that’s a serious payday! Many Fiverr customers like to hire freelancers like you to design eBook covers, create company logos, write blog posts, create digital videos and audio recordings, and other tasks they don’t have the skills to complete. My wife and I have personally used Fiverr to hire somebody to create a book cover for a self-published book. One the gig is complete, you get paid.
