1. Freelancing.There are many good freelance sites out there. What they do is provide a place where you, as a freelancer can bid on jobs that others post. They generally take a percentage of what the employer pays you in order to provide this service. This can be a good option for someone who is trying to build a portfolio or for anyone looking for contract work.
2. Contract work with a virtual company.More and more companies are offering home based jobs. Many are customer service or technical support positions. Most are contract jobs but some offer employment and even benefits. Some companies to look at are Alpine Access, Arise Virtual Solutions, Convergys, Custom Loyal, LiveOps,West At Home and Working Solutions.
3. Telecommute.If you are lucky enough to have a job that can easily be done at home then you are closer to the dream than most. Put together a proposal that focuses on how telecommuting would benefit your boss and your company. It’s all about what’s in it for them. Do you homework and include statistics on how telecommuting increases productivity and cuts costs. Be prepared to be flexible. Your supervisor may not be thrilled with the idea of you working at home. Offer to try it out for 30 days, or maybe one day per week so that you can prove yourself.
If your job is not well suited for telecommuting, you can search for one that is. There are many work at home jobs out there. The most common fields for telecommuters are sales, writing, web design, web development, programming, translation and customer service.
4. Work locally.Consider hanging out a virtual shingle in your area. You could offer your services as a Virtual Assistant to local businesses. For many business owners there is a certain area of their business that they don’t particularly enjoy or don’t have the knowledge to do well. This might be bookkeeping, marketing or sales.
5. Start a home business.A home business can be the perfect work at home solution for many people. The possibilities are endless. You could start a business from scratch or start a business with an existing company like Ameriplan or Avon.
