2nd in Series: Work from Home taking Online Surveys and other Job Ideas

Working from home is something just about every adult has contemplated. Working a set schedule in a job where you do the same duties day in and day out isn't for everyone. For some people, the scheduling and duties aren't a problem, but finding daycare that is dependable is a problem. For others, paying for transportation, daycare, a wardrobe and meals outside the home overwhelms the benefits of getting a paycheck. For all these people, there is a solution: working from home.

Working from home does have drawbacks that make a person think twice. Many ask themselves a series of questions before making a concrete decision. Is there steady work in my field? Will I have to take a significant pay cut? Where and how can I find affordable benefits? Should I do freelance, sub-contract or try to find a company that has permanent at home employees?

There is a lot of freelance work available online for those in accounting, journalism, writing, human resources and consulting fields. Finding steady work depends completely on how much time you dedicate to searching for employment and where you search. A simple Google search can net you the best places to start working from home in one of these fields. Benefits for at home professionals are difficult to come by. When you work from home, you are essentially your own boss. You must find health insurance independently and retirement plans are solely your responsibility. Other benefits, such as vacation days, are completely up to your own discretion.

Finding work for at home professionals that pays well is time consuming and the competition can be tight if your field of expertise is common. For example, article writers have tough competition from overseas writers. Because there are many writing freelance workers overseas, they typically underbid their American competition. The results are articles that are low in quality, but cheap to produce.

Creative fields, such as graphic design and accounting, are much less saturated by workers. Freelance graphic design work pays as much as $200 per hour, and companies are pleased to pay this price for high quality work. It's cheaper than hiring full time staff. A CPA can even get consulting work for higher fees.

If you don't have a graphic design or accounting degree, but still want to make good money, consider survey taking. Paid online surveys can net as much as $50 per hour and no experience or degree is required. Finding legitimate paid surveys can sometimes be difficult though. Many sites will lead to pages of offers. If you don't accept the offers and agree to sign up for recurring charges on your credit card, you are not allowed to finish the survey. Some of the best paid surveys that you can find online come from clearing houses. GetPaidToTry is one such clearing house and can be found at http://www.getpaidtotry.com/.

Ultimately, the question of whether or not working from home is for you can only be answered by you. After introspection and discussion with the family, try researching opportunities in your field. You may get lucky and find something you love that pays better than your current job.
