Work at Home.

I've been very curious lately regarding home based jobs, you know the jobs where you can work at home? So, just out of curiousity I did a little research and I found out a few things about these jobs. Of course, there are positives and negatives to jobs, and online jobs aren't any different... Well, it is a little different. Here's what I've found out:

1) Many of these jobs are scams, I didn't say ALL, just many. Even though they look like "professional" sites, or even look legit, they might not be what they actually are. So do some background research on the company before you apply.

2) A majority of these online jobs do not offer big money like they advertise. I came across a couple websites where their ad said "Want to earn $200 in an hour?" Or "This will make you rich!" If it was that simple I'm sure many people would be doing it, but the reality is, these online jobs take time. A lot of time to be sucessful. Don't quit your day job just because you're "hired."

3) Many of these job positions are: Data Entry, Surveys, or Call Centre positions. Sound easy? Again, if they were, many people would be quitting their day jobs just so they could work at home.

4) Now if you happen to find a legitimate, and good paying job, the very positive aspect of working from home is, well, you'd be working from home. It's pretty rewarding in the respect that you wouldn't really have to pay for gas to drive to and from your work, you could work your own hours, wear your own clothes, and well, you don't really have to deal with the "working environment."

And that is what I found out so far. I know I could make a longer list, but this is pretty much what sums up online/home-based jobs. I would recommend if you really want to work at home, take up freelancing. Start your own "business" and get paid for doing what you enjoy. The only downside is that you would have to compete with a lot of others out there that are freelancing as well.

Good luck!
