Real work-at-home jobs

By Liz Pulliam Weston

Computers and high-speed Internet access mean new, better-paying choices for people who want the flexibility and convenience of careers that don't require an office-building cubicle.

After the birth of her daughter, Carrie Opara knew she didn't want to return to her old job as a mental-health counselor. But finding legitimate work she could do at home was no small feat.

She tried a multilevel marketing plan and wound up in debt. She looked on the Internet and found plenty of scams. Finally, she heard about LiveOps, a Palo Alto, Calif., call center that hired people to work out of their own homes.

Within two years, she was earning about $2,000 a month working 30 to 35 hours a week from her home in Columbia, Md. -- about what she'd made previously as a counselor. Her shifts can be as short as 30 minutes, although she typically works five-hour blocks while her 6-year-old is in school, plus some nights and weekends when her husband, a certified public accountant, can take over child care.

Opara said she still faces the challenges familiar to every working parent: how to work enough hours, spend enough quality time with her family "and still figure out how I'm going to clean my house, make dinner and do the grocery shopping." Not having to commute or pay for child care, however, are big bonuses.

"It's fit in perfectly," Opara said, "and we also like the flexibility."

Technology is opening up new opportunities for parents and others who want to work at home. Finding and landing legitimate, profitable work still isn't easy, but here are a few venues to try

A call center in your home
In recent years, you've heard a lot about companies routing their customer-service calls to workers overseas, but a less-noticed trend is the growth in home-based call-center workers.

Thanks to the Internet and better call-routing technology, more companies are finding they can outsource their order-taking, sales and problem-solving calls to home-based workers, said LiveOps board member Bill Trenchard. LiveOps not only runs an outsource operation, Trenchard said, but it also provides technology for companies that want to set up their own home-based call centers.

Home-based workers tend to be better educated and more loyal than their counterparts at traditional call centers, according to Trenchard. Most of LiveOps' workers have college degrees -- Opara has a master's -- and turnover is low.

The flexibility that Opara likes also benefits companies. Home-based operators are typically contractors who are paid for each minute spent on the phone, so companies can quickly gear up to meet high demand without having to pay for idle workers during slack times.

The job isn't without drawbacks. Pay usually starts around $8 an hour, assuming you get enough calls, which can come slowly at the beginning, Opara said. The jobs that simply require taking orders often pay the least, while the better-paying jobs typically require that you have sales skills.

Call centers usually have no tolerance for audible distractions, so a crying baby, barking dog or ringing doorbell could get you fired. (Some companies require their workers have dedicated offices with doors to minimize potential distractions.) An operator also needs a dedicated phone line, a computer and high-speed Internet access.

Some call centers that employ home-based workers:

Alpine Access
LiveOps
Arise
West at Home

Start a Web business
Paul and Alison Martin, who met while they were students at Stanford University, decided to launch a Web-based baby-product business shortly after the birth of their twins, Ainsley and Sierra. The couple launched Noss Galen Baby in February 2004, just before Paul graduated.

By May 2005, Paul said, the site was profitable enough to support the family.

The Martins had some distinct advantages. Paul had programming and start-up experience from a stint at PayPal, so he built and maintains their Web site. The couple also moved from expensive Menlo Park, Calif., to more reasonable Albuquerque, N.M., which keeps down their living costs.

Perhaps even more significant, the Martins were able to capitalize their business with stock-option money from Paul's time at PayPal. But Paul said initial inventory costs were just a few thousand dollars, and he could have gotten a small-business loan or worked a part-time job to keep the venture going until profits came in.

The most important thing is to have the mindset that you're going to make it work, that you're going to learn from your mistakes," Paul said. "It may take longer than you think. . . . There were difficult times when we were wondering if we were ever going to turn the corner."

The Martins' business isn't the only thing that's expanded. The couple had their third child, Dax, early last year.

If you find a concept that works, you might make additional money teaching other people what you know. Tamaira Sandifer of Sacramento, Calif., launched a service called Fun Mail for Kids that sends customized packets, complete with stickers, personalized letters and crafts projects, to kids via the U.S. mail.

As with any small business, it can help to draft a business plan. The U.S. Small Business Administration has a free business set-up guide on its Web site.

Online auctions
Online auction sites have helped people do more than empty their attics (or fill them up again). The largest online auction site, eBay, says it is home to more than a million "professional sellers" who report the site as a primary or secondary source of income.

Barb Webb of Salt Lick, Ky., started her online-auction career a few years ago by selling household items she otherwise would have put in a garage sale. The former corporate executive branched out by looking for bargains at local retailers and then auctioning them off for a profit on the site. Her auction income isn't enough to live on, but it’s not bad as a part-time job squeezed in between activities for her three kids.

Auction sites have "how to" sections to familiarize beginners with the selling process, and a little research can help you determine the best way to market your offerings, said Webb, the author of "The Mom's Guide to Earning and Saving Thousands on the Internet."

Sellers also need to be mindful of their reputations because bad feedback from buyers can hurt future sales, she said. Staying organized, using truthful descriptions and shipping items promptly are essential to a profitable auction business.

Webb also advises newbies to start slowly, particularly if they're buying items with the intent to sell them at auction rather than selling off what they already own. It can be easy to misjudge what people will want to buy, she said, and the costs of listing, the site's commissions and buyers who don't pay can eat into profits.

"The best way is to bank some (profits) and then reinvest some," Webb said.

Mystery shopping, survey taking and 'piece work'
Mystery shopping and survey-taking opportunities have been around for a while, but the Internet has made finding them easier, Webb said.

"Mystery shoppers" are typically paid $5 to $100 per assignment to pose as average customers and then critique a store or service, Webb said. The range for filling out surveys or participating in focus groups can be even wider, from a few dollars to a few hundred bucks a shot.

As with other work-at-home jobs, applicants need to be prepared to start small and work their way up. Research companies look for reliable, articulate, detail-oriented people and tend to reward the ones who consistently perform well, Webb said.

Both jobs tend to come with freebies as well as cash. Webb said she's been given such products as free laundry detergent and free diapers in exchange for her opinion on surveys.

Mystery shopping tends to take more time and effort but generally pays more. Webb said she makes about $6,000 a year in cash, plus free goods and services worth $3,000 to $4,000.

"I work it in with our schedule. I look at the week ahead and think, 'Where do we want to go? What do we want to do?' " she said. "If I need to buy clothes, I'll look to see if they need a mystery shopper."

Some Internet-based mystery-shopping services include:

Corporate Research International Mystery Shops
Mystery Guest
Service Intelligence Experience Exchange
National survey companies with an Internet presence include:

American Consumer Opinion
National Family Opinion
Survey Savvy
"Piece work" is an age-old concept that's been updated by the Internet, most visibly on Amazon.com's Mechanical Turk. The site pays people to perform tasks that computers can't easily do, such as fill out opinion surveys, transcribe audiotapes and see whether items for sale have been correctly "tagged," or classified.

The Mechanical Turk for which the Web site was named was a 1700s and 1800s hoax in which a supposed machine played chess (the Turk actually concealed a human chess ace). Amazon started the site to find humans to help fix problems that its automated systems couldn't. The Mechanical Turk is now used by an array of "requestors" who want people to help them with various small tasks.

The problem here is that the pay is often literally pennies -- sometimes just a single penny to perform a task that might take a few seconds or minutes. Only you can determine whether the time you spend is worth the payoff.

Other home-based businesses
There's not much high-tech about home-based businesses such as child care, house-sitting, dog walking and errand running. But classified advertising sites such as Craigslist can help you easily and cheaply connect with potential customers.

And old-school businesses, if properly run, can provide a decent living, said Steve Damato, who operates a licensed day-care center with his wife, Jodi, at their Elgin, Ill., home.

The Damatos inherited the day-care business from Jodi's mother after she retired. The Damatos moved into the mother-in-law's home to look after her and the business. Previously, Steve had worked as a flight attendant while Jodi had been a stay-at-home mother for their daughter. Besides the opportunity to be a full-time father, he likes the fact that he no longer has to work nights, weekends or holidays.

Before you launch any business, research your community's license and insurance requirements. In Illinois, for example, day-care providers who look after more than four children must be licensed, Steve Damato said, and the state provides about 30 pages of standards that centers must follow, covering everything from the number of electrical-outlet covers to the frequency of CPR training.

Damato also recommends talking to others who run similar businesses for tips and advice. You also need to gauge your own aptitude for the work.

"If you don't like changing 20-30 diapers a day or constantly wiping noses, or playing referee throughout the day, then this job is not for you," Damato said. "Otherwise, this could be a wonderful opportunity . . . for many couples."

Keys for the home-based worker
As you're considering potential work-at-home opportunities, keep these points in mind:

Your best opportunities may be close to home. If you're still working, rummage around your current workplace to see if any job -- not just the one you're doing now -- is portable. You might hit pay dirt if you're well-regarded and your employer has work that's not getting done or not being done well. A written plan explaining your proposal may help you sway your employer.

Otherwise, expect a lot of competition. Plenty of people want to work from home and will inundate any company they think might hire them. (One call-center company I tried to interview for this article wouldn't even talk to me, saying it already had far more applicants than it could use and didn't want another spike in inquiries that it couldn't handle.)

If you have to pay big upfront fees for materials, details or training, your best bet is to walk away. Ditto for any "opportunity" that involves stuffing envelopes or assembling crafts; these activities profit only the promoters.

The folks I interviewed who are making decent money at home also made decent money in the regular workplace world. They tended to have good educations, strong business skills and a history of workplace success. If you're organized, focused, a self-starter and possessed of in-demand skills, you could do OK at home. If you're not, your options are likely to be more limited.

Top Ten Tips for Homeworking

2010-01-20T13:56:00.000-08:00

1. Becoming a homeworker is something to be planned rather than a knee-jerk reaction to problems such as debt.

2. You should never pay to do homeworking, eg craft assembly. It is usually a scam.

3. Get rich quick schemes do not work. You are kidding yourself if you send off your £5+ to join.

4. Homeworkers work very hard indeed and you should expect to as well.

5. If you are a new mother do not overload yourself with trying to find work at home. Small children and work do not mix very well ~ and you work hard enough as it is!

6. It takes time to secure a steady income as a homeworker, unless of course you have an employer and do your job via telecommuting.

7. Piece work and other such work can be found (from companies local to you) but they are usually badly paid.

8. Most successful homeworkers create their own work, based on their interest or skills.

9. Do your homework first before trying to become a homeworker! Check out what regulations there are concerning your chosen field of work and whether there is a market for your work.

10. When the going gets tough setting up as a homeworker, remember that it will eventually be an extremely convenient and satisfying way to work!

Finding The Right Data Entry Jobs

2007-07-19T05:18:00.000-07:00

Vishwaa

There are many data entry jobs available today on the Internet. Many companies are growing and wishing to further expand, and as a result are hiring people from around the globe to help them with their work load. It is, however, advisable to be careful which jobs you accept.

Data entry jobs are among he most prevalent positions available. Found in almost every profession, they are both crucial and necessary to any business, as they are a way of entering important information for record keeping purposes. Medical practices use data entry to keep track of patient information and appointments, while stores use it to note inventory and pricing information.

The Internet has also made it easier for people to acquire such jobs without actually living in the location of the company. Many sites advertise these positions to anyone interested in making money from home.

The "home business" has also become a popular means of making money. This is primarily because it provides a way for people to make money without leaving the comforts of their own homes. All you need is a computer, an Internet connection, and the drive to succeed. There are, however, some things you should be aware of if you are searching for a data entry job on the Internet.

In more recent times, if you were searching for a job, you saw the listing, called to inquire, then went in for an interview. Data entry jobs were advertised like any other job, and if you accepted such apposition, you got up every morning, went to the office, worked your eight hours, and then went home. Now, however, companies are finding it easier to hire people from all over the world via the Internet. This has made it easier on employees, as it means you may not have a specific time to work every day, and you don't have to pay the cost of driving to work every morning. While this may sound enticing, be careful which jobs you accept, they may not always be as they appear.

There are many jobs posted on the Internet for data entry people needed. They make it sound easy and almost painless, explaining how you are going to make a lot of money. Beware of such postings. Be careful for companies that use tools such as Adword and Click Bank. Remember, if it sounds too easy, it probably is.

Make sure you understand who you are working for, and exactly what you will do for them. If something doesn't sound right, ask questions. Often times the job will be real, but will actually be a ploy for you to sign up for something else that company has to offer. In these cases, you will be assigned a little work, but expected to fill out information about yourself that will entitled you to receive some sort of benefit from the company, sometimes at your own expense. Once they have your bank account information, it is easy for them to continue drawing money out every month for that benefit you actually signed up for, and that may be difficult to cancel.

If you are looking for a data entry job over the Internet, here are some things you might check out. Make sure the company is reputable. Call them, and call others who have heard of them. Some companies require employees to work within a certain mile radius of their company. That isn't a bad idea.

Learn as much as you can about the company: what do they do, who do they serve, exactly what will they expect you to do, and what is the pay? Also, remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The TRUTH About 99% of the Data Entry/Home Typist Jobs

2007-07-17T13:54:00.000-07:00

Elizabeth Martinez

I know you’ve seen the ads- “Work at home filling out forms” or “Data Entry- Earn $200 Daily filling out forms.” They are very tempting and they entice you with a high income. They are NOT scams, they are simply misleading.

These “data entry” jobs aren’t really jobs, they are businesses. You own your own business and your “job” is to fill out the “form” for Pay-Per-Click ads. You are promoting other people’s products. This is not a BAD thing, when you think about it most retail stores do this well, they simply do it in a different manner. They have the products in their store, but in this case, you would simply be placing online ads for other people’s products. This is typically called Affiliate Marketing, but some of these programs like to “hide” it as a home typist or data entry job. There are a few places where you really CAN be simply a data entry person or home typist, but they are typically referred to as a Virtual Assistant job or Administrative Assistant.

There are two issues with these programs or systems as many of them call themselves. First, they advertise as though it is data entry where you are filling out forms for other companies and then paid. They do not say that you are placing ads and that in order to get paid your ads need to produce a sale. Let’s assume that you pay for their system or for their information and you get the information and you might be disappointed, but decide to try what they say. This is where the second issue comes into play. Their systems make it sound very easy. They say that all you have to do is get a clickbank ID (for free), search for a product to promote or multiple products, and then place some PPC (pay-per-click) ads and watch the sales come in. There is, however, a great deal more to it than this. You need to do a lot of research and will need a lot of

If you are interested in the data entry that is really Affiliate Marketing, you do not need to spend $40, $50, or even $100 on a type at home system to learn this. Chances are you will spend a great deal MORE than that initial investment just learning how to use PPC ads effectively. A much more useful resource for affiliate marketing is a membership with The Wealthy Affiliate. They don’t try to “sugar coat” affiliate marketing. They do not try to say that all you have to do is place a few PPC ads and you’ll see amazing results. They also provide a great deal of tools to help you research the right products and right keywords for your campaigns AND they have learning resources to teach you how to do the research necessary. Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme, but it can work much better for you than a 9-5 job and with a little effort you could be making $10,000 or more a month. Just remember, there is more to it than just filling out a form.

Data Entry Exposed

2007-07-17T13:52:00.000-07:00

By Jonathan Mclean

I believe everyone who is searching for ways to make money online is familiar with the following phrases. Fill in forms for online companies and get paid or fill in simple ads for companies and make $250-$1450 a day form your own computer. Now that sounds nice and it seems fairly simple to do it. When I first saw these ads, I thought that the only thing that is required is administrative work. For example I thought you get online forms that you need to complete or you enter simple data as the ads suggest and you email it to the various companies and you get paid. When I bought the business I discovered the truth.

The bottom line is that data entry is just another word for affiliate marketing. However you pay to become an affiliate. If the sales letter said it entails affiliate marketing, I wonder how many people would purchase these opportunities? So why are so many people interested in data entry. Is it the ways the sales letters are written or does people know from the start what data entering is? I mean why should people pay to become affiliates. Why don’t people just select products from a market place or the search engines and simply sign up to become affiliates? You see if you knew what you are buying it should not be such a big deal. But if you thought you are buying one thing and it turns out to be something completely different, then it does not go down so well. So let us see how you are getting value for your money.

Lets look at the first scenario. You decide to search for companies and join their affiliate programs. The first fact that you have to consider is whether the owners of this particular product you would like to promote will provide tools or strategies to help you be successful. The second fact is whether this program have reach saturation point in the market. If the whole world is promoting the same product it will not make much sense if you also jump on the same bandwagon. In other words you can’t just become an affiliate without any knowledge.

The second scenario is you do decide to do data entry. Most important you know what data entry entails. When I decided to do data entry one thing I noticed of this particular company, was that they provided all the tools you are going to need. Even the so-called forms that you have to fill in for the pay per click campaigns are already filled in. All you have to do is submit them to search engines. The only thing you must not expect from them is to pay the advertising. They provide you with access to the top companies. Whether you decide to use classified ads, submit articles, press release or ezine letters, everything is provided. That kind of service is worth paying for in the end, simply because the average newbie does not understand marketing on the Internet. It takes time to develop the skills necessary to make a success online. The abundance of opportunities and the overload of information are very overwhelming at first. If you consider data entry, make sure that the company you choose is willing to guide you every step of the way.

Jonathan's interests are very wide, but his main focus is providing advice and opportunities to start an online business. For more information visit his site on http://www.cjmebooks.net

Enter Data Online - Work From Home Benefits and Drawbacks

2007-07-17T13:49:00.000-07:00

By Jim Bradley

The internet is filled with every variety of work from home opportunity you can imagine. From entering data online to stuffing envelopes at home, if there is a way to work at home, someone is going to try and sell you how to do it. The recent economic internet boom has allowed new markets to be developed overnight, creating a vast pool of untapped wealth that continues to grow daily. There has been a steady increase in the amount of companies offering data entry programs since this economic expansion began. The question still remains, can you get paid to enter data online through data entry programs?

What does it mean to "enter data online"? Well, there can be a number of different ways to enter data online, but the most common practice is referring to ad creation and placement for affiliated companies. There are also companies out there who offer data entry positions for hourly wages, this refers to companies looking for skilled typers to file records and other varieties of information on the web. Because the majority of data entry opportunities are geared towards our first definition of entering data online, that to will be the main focus of this article.

If you are considering an Enter Data Online opportunity there are several signs you should look for to determine how legitimate the opportunity really is.

First, be sure that there is a money back guarantee. Due to the high amount of scamming on the web, always be sure there is a money back guarantee offered before making any purchase or registration. You would not want to spend a dime on something that wasn't worth it, by having the option of getting your money back you can stay safe and also take the first step towards improving your income.

Second, the cost should be relatively low. The going rate is about $49.95 and this is ok if the opportunity is worthwhile. But be careful with high priced programs, sometimes opportunities that require the most money turn out to be nothing more than time consuming money pits.

Third, can you get support if you need it? Email is the most commonly used method of support and this is fine assuming you can get an email response in a timely fashion. Often, email support can take 3-4 days to respond through some data entry programs. A response within 24 hours should be expected from any legitimate opportunity. Its always a good idea to ask a question or two to gauge the support response time should you really need some help.

You may find that these three tips are quite simple and obvious, but they do apply to all work from home opportunities, not simply entering data online, and should always be kept in mind.

The benefits of working from home and entering data online can be seen not only financially, but also socially, and emotionally. The opportunity to increase your income from home can take a load off of an individual or families financial burdens, but sometimes the benefits reach further than numbers. By working from home you are opening yourself to more time available to be devoted to not only your own personal finances, but your family, friends, and personal health.

Working from home completely cuts a commute out of your daily schedule, immediately freeing up time that used to be spent in a car, bus, train, etc. Time spent well with family and friends because of newfound financial and personal freedom are some of the immediate visible benefits. If the your focus is for a part time home business opportunity, then the main benefits are financial as more income creates less financial stress. Working from home can create an overall improvement in the quality of life.

Data entry programs also have their own drawbacks as most things that seem to good to be true usually are. Working from home requires a certain level of discipline and focus, as those extra hours at home can get wasted very easily. If you are going to work from home, you need to be able to actually do work when you are home. Aside from personal drawbacks such as lack of focus and scheduling, its possible to run into problems actually entering data online.

More often than not, the work will be more complicated than the website has advertised. If the training provided is insufficient or simply wrong, you can spend a lot of time and money trying to figure out exactly how to get your data entry campaign rolling. This is why going with a legitimate opportunity that provides real resources and support is so crucial to the success of any work from home data entry campaign.

To determine if entering data online is the proper home business opportunity for you, weigh out the balance between the benefits and drawbacks. If you find that the program is legitimate and the opportunity is in line with in your current situation, then going forward may be your best option. There are so many legitimate work from home opportunities out there, everyone can find their own little niche and enter data online.

Work At Home Data Entry Workers Are A Growing Number

2006-08-26T17:04:00.000-07:00

By Daegan Smith

[Top Data Entry Opportunities: www.dataentry-impartialreview.com]

Work at home date entry workers are ever expanding in the nation’s labor force. According to the 2000 Census, over 4 million people over the age of 16 work at home. Data entry workers are a significant portion of that group. Many employers are experiencing the need to subcontract out work to self-employed workers since the number of data entry people is declining. Job prospects for work at home data entry workers should be excellent in the years to come.

Is a Data Entry Job, Working From Home Right For You?

2006-07-22T08:27:00.000-07:00

Author: Louise Nova

While working at Data Entry Jobs sounds like the perfect job, working from home isn’t for everyone. Having said that, it could be just the thing for many people, you just have to assess if you are ready and committed to take on a data entry job and make it a success. The attraction is that it is an amazing alternative to the daily chore of going out to work for someone else.

What is important is that you take a long hard look at your circumstances, your lifestyle, your commitment and your ability to motivate yourself. Don't just go out and resign your job before you have even tried starting a data entry job. Take a while to ask yourself some basic questions:--

What are my strengths?

What are my weaknesses?

Do I enjoy flexibility?

Can I plan the family activities so they do not interfere?

Will my family support my new career?

Do I have self-discipline?

Decide what your strengths are. There is not one type of person that is just right for this type of work. Everyone has strengths and you need to decide if yours are the ones you need for this kind of work. Some strengths that might help in this kind of work could be:--

You like attention to detail-

You enjoy working on the computer-

You like to work on different projects-

You are dependable

These are just a few to give you an idea. There are so many things that you could consider a strength that would benefit you working from home.

Now take a serious look at your weaknesses. Decide if they will cause a problem or if you can work around them. For instance, you might say that your weakness is that you can't get up in the mornings. This could be a problem if you schedule your only work time at 8 a.m. but if you schedule your work for the afternoon or the evening then this would not be a problem. This is part of the benefit of working from home - you can decide for yourself how and when you want to work.

How flexible are you? If you are a person that thrives on flexibility then you will especially enjoy taking on different data entry jobs and allowing yourself to work at various times and for varying lengths of time. If you are not a very flexible person (be honest!) then you can still make a great job of this by being more diligent about scheduling your time and also by planning your jobs ahead.

If you are planning to work at a data entry job from home you will have to consider your family. While it is important to set aside time without interruption, it is not realistic to think that the family will never interrupt. There will always be times when you will have to change your priorities. A good discussion with your family outlining what everyone’s expectations are would be a great idea.

Some people just know that they have great self-discipline while others are not sure. If you think you do then you won't have any problems. If you are not sure, don't despair. It is amazing where self-discipline comes from when you are interested in what you are doing. Many people find that the mere fact that they are working for themselves is a huge motivating factor. It is a very different feeling from grinding out the work for some one else. You may not have a boss breathing down your neck, but many people are surprised to discover that they will push themselves harder than any boss would have.

It is definitely a good idea to learn about how to prioritize and organize your work. As with any job or home business, there will be jobs that you will really enjoy and jobs that you will want to put off. Take some time to learn some simple routines for organizing such as making lists of things to do that day. Your lists could be split up into priority A and B so that you keep on track each day and stick to the most important tasks.

Organization is important, especially when you work at home. Make sure you have an area where you can sit at your computer and carry out the data entry jobs with everything you need close by. Try to separate your business things from your personal things.

In conclusion I would say that most people could be suited to working from home at data entry jobs if they just take the time to think things through and prepare themselves mentally and physically. The benefits of this kind of work are worth the effort it could take to adapt to this way of life.
