How do you get started at working from home jobs?

• I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to get started at a real job working from home. I want to start my degree in medical assisting but between my husband going to school and working nights it just seems that one of us has to either do one or the other or one does both while the other one just does one of them.

• Answer:

  Most work at home jobs only pay minimum wage. Not enough hours for you to work if you are going to get a degree, no matter what your field is. You will need time to study, school hours etc. I would suggest starting a home based business. One that you can work the hours you want and one that has a residual side to it. Without knowing what things you like to do, it's difficult to refer you over to different business's to take a look at that would allow you to bring in a sufficient amount of income without having to put in a full time days worth of work if you utilize the time you have. Most home based business cost under $500. Some cost more depending on what it is you want to do. I don't know what you like to do, so I can only tell you what my husband and I started over six years ago and point you out to some others to take a look at. Ours well supports our family as well as a major funding source for our non-profit organization that we started up a while back with part of the income we earned. As well as it's a funding source for other non-profit organizations. Anyhow, we got involved in the telecommunications industry. With a world wide company that's over 15 years old. We've been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 rated us the 22nd fastest growing company. They offer services that people use every day and pay for anyway, but now they can have a lower cost. Services such as local and long distance phones, Internet, digital phones, video phones (you can see the person your taking to live)VOIP, Satallite tv, and all the major cellular phone companies like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Alltell, Nextell etc. have partnered up with them too. How many people do you know, or know of, that uses or has one or more of these services? How would you feel if you could save people money on services that they're most likely already using, if not you can offer them the service, and everytime they pay their bills each month, you make a percentage off these bills every single month. Huge income opportunity. It's incredible how much money is involved in this industry. so anyhow, this is what my husband started doing over six years ago and it well supports our family of 6 (we have four children) If you'd like more information feel free to email me and I'll be happy to pass it along to you. I also created a blog on my 360 page on home based business's. There's over half a dozen different ones to take a look at. Your more then welcome to browse through them. If you find one that's interesting, contact the person who wrote it and they can point you out in the right direction. Tiffany
