It’s strange. When I think back to just a few years ago I barely knew anyone who worked from home. I’m sure there were lots of people working out of home offices or running small businesses from their home. I think there always has been … but now that I work at home myself I think that the amount of people that I know who work 100% from their home has increased substantially.
Sure, I also know a lot of people that work from home on a part time basis. I suppose I’ve always been in that category. Having been a jeweller in the past you can’t get away from the business. I still get rings and other jewelry made for friends and family. I’ve also done part time work from home doing web graphics and creating web sites for others. Now of course I have several websites and I earn money through various forms of advertising, writing and even by selling my photography.
There’s lots of ways to make money from home though isn’t there. I know some people that make beaded jewelry at home, and others that sell it online or in person. Actually I know quite a few people who have online stores too.
If you work at home what kind of business or work do you do?
I write for a lot of online companies and blog of’course. I use to sell Avon and if you are interested, you should defiantly do it. I stopped because of some issues that I had. Avon is a great company to sell for and you get to set your own hours. It is also fun but if you do it, make sure that you run the business right by keeping track of the money.
In Malaysia, we do not have the trend to work at home for part time. BUT normally, for me, if I want to do part time job, I can give tuition to secondary or primary school students.
I would soooo love to work out of my home. I’d give my right arm (no wait, I’d need that for blogging) to be able to work from my house. If it were really possible, I’d love nothing more than to sit at my computer, write great articles, have the perfect ads etc on my site and just hear cha-ching, cha-ching all day long.
