It's kind of phenomenon to work from home. Being a blogger..or even do the regular job from home (due to pregnancy one of my friend's mate is allowed to do her task from home). I did try both and compare it when I'm coming to the office. I think I like to do my job in the office as I could concentrate more on my job rather than sitting at home. So how about you guys?

Eventually I think it will be possible for me to earn from home to the point where i dont need another job but right now online income is low but slowly going up so I have hope that by the end of the year or certainly midway through 2013 ill be earning an amount i can live off :) theres many ways to make money online if you find the right sites :) and my lot is okay too, although a very slow earner compared to some sites but it is fun :)

Hi Freeman, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think so. We have to find the right sites and the right way to earn that much money online. But no matter how much I make online, I won't ever leave my current job as I love it so much as the role is so important for some countries. . yeah, mylot is fun!

Work from home is good. We can spend time with family. But at the same concentration on work will become lack. Definitely office situation never comes in home and some kind of laziness we get.

I like to work at home because if I worked on my novel during office hours, I would get in trouble. Also I can concentrate without interruption. I am a writer so it is easier for me to do that, and besides I really hated working in an office. Just because I had good typing skills. And besides I can think of other things to do at home instead of having to wait until the boss gave you some papers, you had to clean the beds (I did work as a ward assistant)

Thanks for your response suspenful. I think your job is suit enough to work from home. Like mine, I do a have a lot of things to be done all the time. I could never feel that when will my boss assigns new tasks to me. So I need super concentration.

I do like being able to work from home. Back when I was still working and hadn't retired yet I was actually given the job to do at home. It was calling people where I lived and asking if they had any clothing or household items to put out for pick up. It didn't last long but I did appreciate the opportunity. Now that I have retired I write articles, my blog occasionally, and work here as much as I can. I really like it and I sincerely hope that this opportunity never stops.

The thing I like most about working from home is the flexible hours. That alone is enough to make me choose working from home over other jobs. I am working extra hard to become a professional dancer and have my own production company, and am also a martial artist (Taekwondo) and am training for the state championship within the next year or two. Working from home allows me to plan my money making endeavors around my actual professional (and personal) goals and dreams rather than forcing my real life's work to take the backseat to some 9-5 job. I also like getting to do things my way, not having anything "dumbed down," and just all together not having to deal with a lot of the idiots that are scattered about the work force. Since I am a big introvert, not having to be all bubbly and social and outspoken in order to get a promotion is a plus as well.

It has actually been about six years since the last time that I worked outside the house because I decided that I wanted to stay at home with my children while they were young. With that said, I do like the idea of working at home, but I wish that there was a way that I could replace a full time income by working at home. For right now it is still not possible for me to get a job because of the fact that I have serious doctor's commitments. So, for right now, I've just booted up what I've been doing online while my children are at school.

Working from home has some advantages: you can make your own program,there is no boss to check you all the time, you can choose what to do first and so on. But not all work is suited to be done at home. Also when working at home you have no team and no one to discuss with. Instead, working from home offers flexibility and liberty.As for me, I like to work at home and my job is suited for doing so...

I so love to work at home because I want to be with my son 24/7. I am working full time outside home, and at the same, I am a mommy blogger and I owned an online shop. I multitask to be able to gradually shift to work at home. Hopefully after some time I can make it. I strong trust and believe in God's plan.

combine all of them businessman and an employee, as long as there is a chances of earning and you know the one your doing is true and you do the same thing to, everything will takes place that's it combine it with organization, passion and dedication and your set.

I cannot work from home, what I earn online isn't much. Maybe for asians it's much, but in my rich european country (Norway), it's just small money. From working one hour here in Norway, I earn about $20 american dollars. When I work here for 1 hour, I don't even make half of it :P To live here in Norway I will need about $20 000 americal dollars per month. You see how I can't depend on working from home? You may ask me why I do it then. The answer is quite simple, I do it to pay for my website hosting and other online stuff :) Thank you.

I think working at home is good because you will have time for your family and you do not have to commute or travel to go to your office.It depends on the person where he or she likes to work. They must be happy in what work they are doing at home or at the office.The best thing in office is there are a lot of people you are working with.

Hi Blinjk, Thank you for the reply, sure it depends on the person. Since I love to work with people and glamorous thing , that's why I choose office rather than home.
