Home-Based Job Vs Home-Based Business


Many men and women are looking for a way to make money from home to supplement their income. A couple of ways to do this is working for someone else via a home based job or having a home based business.

Home based jobs are quite hard to find. Though, they are possible to find, you will need certain qualifications in order to work for most legit companies. If you are looking for a Data Entry job, you will need to take tests in order to prove your typing and ten key skills. You can also find Telecommuting jobs such as answering services. There are even places that will pay you to proofread and write. You can find these types of companies by searching the internet for work at home websites. Please remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it is! If an ad says that you can make thousands of dollars in a week... BEWARE!!! More than likely they will ask for money for "start up" costs. A legit company will NOT ask you to pay for a work from home "job". I recommend talking to your current employer to see if they are willing to work something out for you to work full time or part time from home. You can also visit many of the mom message boards online for information on companies to find out if they are legit or scams.

Having your own home based business is a great way to make money from home. You can become a representative for a company or create your own products. With some companies that offer representative positions, you may have to pay to join. This is also referred to as Direct Sales. Other companies offer their program free. When you pay to join, you may receive a kit of the products, a website, brochures and other items to help promote their website and products. You would then make a percentage of each sale. Although, there is the potential for great earnings being a representative, the best way to make a profit with your own business is to make your own products. If you have a tax id, you can find many of the materials to make your products at wholesale prices. The internet is a great source for wholesale craft supplies. If you decide to make your own products there is the potential to make even more money. You could offer your products wholesale to other companies, drop ship them for other companies or even start your own direct sales company.

Whether you decide to go with a job or a business, please do your research on any company you are interested in. You can do this by checking with the Better Business Bureau, other work at home parents (message boards) or by searching the internet for complaints and problems with them.

Most of all have fun and do what you enjoy doing the most!
