1st in Series: Work from Home taking Online Surveys and other Job Ideas

Working from home allows parents to save money on daycare expenses, spend more quality time with the family and fulfill family obligations more easily. While working from home has its drawbacks, there are enough advantages to make the experience worth it for many workers.

Some people who really desire an at home career don't know where to start or what they could do to make enough money to make their time worth it. These fears are valid. Many at home professionals who work through unsecured sites where payments are not on escrow make just over minimum wage, or get paid per project and are stiffed on pay day.

When it comes to at home work, it pays to do your homework. Research the companies you are planning on freelancing or sub-contracting with. ODesk, Elance and Rent-a-coder all have rating systems for employers, so if you are bidding on work from one of these sites, it's a good idea to look up the employers' information and history. Feedback is easy to find on employers on all of these sites. If you are lucky, you may be able to win a bid to do work with a company for a trial period and get a contract later on. Many at home professionals go this route.

One of the best ways to make money from home is to write articles. Almost every marketing company that does online advertising needs writers. Because it is cheaper to outsource part time labor than pay for full time writers and provide them with benefits, this is the way most companies go. There are multitudes of great, reputable sites online to find work with marketing companies. Most of the marketing firms are American, so mention you are a native English speaker to get a job more easily. Most of the competition for writing jobs is from overseas locations. They will always underbid you. Don't worry about this. Companies who work with freelancers frequently know very well that the quality of a native English speaker's writing far exceeds that of writers from other locals. Employers can generally tell immediately if the quality of work from bidders will meet their company's standards. If at first you find it difficult to find work, don't give up. Just keep bidding and you will find work.

Many people find excellent opportunities taking surveys from home. The best paid surveys are those found through clearing houses, where many companies ask one survey site to get feedback on their company's products and services. GetPaidToTry is one of several clearing houses that make finding online surveys for money much simpler. To join, just go to http://www.getpaidtotry.com/ and fill out their registration page. You will see pages of surveys that range in pay from less than a dollar to well over fifty dollars. Surveys usually take under an hour to complete and can net you a nice supplementary income.

Keep in mind that at home professionals must find income from several different sources when they first start out. Once you get into the work a little further you can usually find steady monthly income that can make the ends meet.
