MakingMoneyAtHome?
There would be no ordering pizza or renting movies. It would be a TIGHT budget. I'm going to suggest here, that you give yourself a little cushion - because it sucks not having ANY money left over.
What I've Learned About Work at Home:
Don't put all your eggs in one "work at home" basket! Think multiple streams of income.
Looking for a work at home job with a resume and cover letter - like any other job.?
Don't expect to make $40,000 a year. It will be less.
Adjust your budget before you quit your regular job. See what it's like.
Direct Sales companies ask for start up fees! Deal with it. This is typical and reasonable. They are great ways to make money at home if you're ambitious and take it seriously! Whiners need not sign up because it does take ambition and gumption to build a business like this!
Be leery of "make money fast" programs. Yes-there are many legit ones -but
you'll want to be extra savvy researching.
It can be lonely working at home... have a network of friends and activities.
It can be hard on your child(ren). They get lonely and bored too. Make sure you are ready with things to entertain them and maybe even playgroups.
Be ready to be pulled in a million directions - work at home is for the multi-tasker.
If you're going the "create a website" route -be original. Simply copying someone else's concept or material is a no-no. Eventually it'll catch up with you and maybe even get your site banned.
Create a work at home job! Look around your community for ideas. Day care, typing service, errand service etc. For example - if you're a paralegal in an office right now - maybe you could be one at home for an attorney more open to telecommuting? Lawyers aren't the only ones turning to virtual assistants!
