People always ask how to work from home. What's the big deal?

It certainly can be a big deal to get into the office. Families with little kids who can not afford daycare expenses, lots of families depends on one income and stay-at-home-moms who still wants to help pay the bills while staying at home taking care of the kids. The struggling economy has caused lots of huge companies to go out of business and thousands of people to loose their jobs due to this. A company saves lots of money by hiring people to work out of their home, as they will be contracted and will not have any benefits. People are getting creative in their way of making money and unfortunately they are on their own in order to pay the bills and put food on the table. The benefits from working out of your home is to save on gas, no need for fancy clothes to get to work, often you are allowed to work around your own schedule, there's also a good tax benefit from working out of your home as a contractor or just being self employed as you will be able to deduct many of your expenses. Just my 2 cents -

I been for working for a call center from home for about a year and half now and have saved alot of money on gas, work clothes and make-up. I love working from home! I dont have to drive on frozen streets in the winter time and I can take my breaks on the glider in the back yard and enjoy the outdoors in the summertime. My checks are on auto deposit which makes it really great. Hope that explains the posotive side of working from home a little better.

For some people it is a big deal to go into an office or hold a normal job. People like this include mothers of children, pregnant women, the elderly, the disabled, or those with mental disablilities such as bipolar and agorophobia. It is more convenient to work from home as well. You can set your own hours, dress comfortably, and be able to multi-task better. Most jobs on the internet however offer very little income and many are scams altogether. It is best to look for actual companies in your area that are looking for people to work at home, either by doing computer work or phone work.

i milk cows for a living, and also have an online business. i'm a country girl and things are getting hard for us here, so i need to try and do something else to earn extra money. if i lived in town i would work there, but i'm in the country. i enjoy milking or i wouldn't be there, i also help out at my parents place doing jobs round there. thou when the animals muck around and don't do what they are supposed to do it makes you wonder why you work with them. i plan my day round work and school times for my son, cause i realy only work am and pm. i've been lazy on doing my online stuff lately, so have to get moving for that. a lot of the social websites are paying, you to bring people to them now. well worth the look. pm me if you'd like yo know more about that.

no, it isn't that big a deal to go into the office. I am a mother of four. while I was working I had 1 child in daycare and had to pay before an dafterschool expenses for 2 children. I also had one child that was old enough to be home alone for the hour and a half until I got home. The problems arose whenever any of the kids would get sick, or forget things they needed at school, or when my husband was unable to help me take them to their various doctor appointments. My job assumed that you should only have an emergency where you would need to miss work one day per month. I would love to have a chance to make money at home, but even then you are running the risk of being scammed.
