The Work at Home Jobs Field
Work at home jobs come in many shapes and sizes. From small part-time work at home jobs to supplement your income to full-time freelance type work at home jobs that allow you to quit your 9-5 career.
#1 Work at Home Jobs Tip (Very Important!)
Once you’ve made peace with that aspect, the next mountain?
This is the hard part: Where to search for work at home jobs and what do work at home jobs pay?
There again….. many shapes and sizes.
#2 My Work at Home Jobs References
I’ve researched work at home trends from mlms and direct sales companies to starting a home business or telecommuting for a major company. Since 1999 I’ve witnessed the dramatic increase in telecommuting work, telecommuting acceptance and freelance hiring.
I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting many people just like you and I that walked away from high paying employment with benefits, in order to jump into direct sales with companies like Tupperware, Pampered Chef and Avon. (I think most had some 401K money to live off of until they built their business!)
I’ve worked, and still do work from my home. I’ve done direct sales, and still do — I also create a weekly newsletter that goes out to 18,000 subscribers offering telecommuting positions I’ve found posted and more. My website, has also kept me forever researching the entire arena of home based employment since 1999.
#3 Where to Search for Work at Home Jobs
I’ve written several articles on this very subject and also offer many helpful references. Of course you will want to sign up at Monster and SnagAJob. You’d be silly not to. But let me break down some helpful information and tools for you:
-No Fee Work at Home Jobs Section
-Weekly Work at Home Newsletter
All these resources for work at home jobs can be found right here at MoneyMakingMommy. All but one are free.
#4 Have Your Resume and Cover Letter Ready
This is not a joke. If you truly want to land an “employment position” with a company that is going PAY YOU to work from your home office — I suggest you be as professional as possible. This is no different than applying for
any other job. Poise, professionalism, preparedness and qualifications are your weapons. Use this artillery by presenting it in a career-minded, savvy way. Laid-back, loosey-goosey will not equate to a “job at home”.

#5 Post IT Everywhere:
#6 Have Patience
A good job is worth waiting for. One that fits your family, lifestyle, aspirations and budget will not fall in your lap. It’s possible –but highly unlikely. Just take your time – look wisely.
#7 Direct Sales Offer More than Home Parties
Don’t turn your nose up at direct sales. MANY are enjoying the benefits of applying themselves to their own “business”. There are literally hundreds of legitimate career opportunities via direct sales. It’s worth looking into if you’re ready to start on a part-time basis (with little up front money), and grow your business while still keeping that “day job”.
-Direct Sales Company Directory
In closing – I certainly do not profess to have all the answers. I’ve done many work at home jobs.. I’ve written city descriptions, been a chat room moderator and even a photographer! I’ve designed websites and written ad copy…. I’ve also done and still do direct sales with several companies that I just fell in love with their products, support system and compensation plan.
I’m walking, talking proof that work at home jobs exist (in many shapes and sizes!)
Take your time, and keep yourself prepared. The right thing just might be right around the corner!
