Of course, these aren’t the only places featuring work at home jobs, but they are the ones I most often recommend to budding freelancers. The usual job search engines and classified sites can be good, too. Just filter your search parameters by those that include a telecommute option, broaden your location choices and you’ll find plenty. Be forewarned, however, that there are a ton of work at home scams floating around the web, so be certain to research an employer before giving up too much personal information and before committing yourself to a job. Oh, and never EVER pay to work!
The Work at Home Mom Center is always here to help assist with your progress, so if you ever have a question about your path or even about a specific job offer, just reach out and ask for help.
Never Held a Work at Home Job Before?
Don’t fret, everyone had to start somewhere. Speaking as one who’s done everything from direct sales to mystery shopping before finally discovering a freelance career path, I’ve learned a few things about landing work at home gigs or even starting a business from scratch. Ditto for our faithful readers, so stay tuned to this blog as we continue to grow and share. I also highly recommend that you do a little prep work starting with our Ground Zero Tips so you’ll be ready for the opportunities heading your way.
It All Starts With You
It’s also necessary to put on a fresh coat of confidence each and every day. Working from home presents you with a brand new learning curve, which can feel overwhelming. More than one work at home mom has felt the sting of rejection, self-doubt and fear that sometimes accompanies working with new tools, demanding clients and even acquiring new skills. Then there’s the funny looks, off-handed remarks and questions that will sometimes be presented by friends and family members who don’t quite understand the concept of working from home and who may even try to convince you to get a “real job”, instead. You can do this, though. Working from home is a legitimate way to earn money. You are also just as smart and capable as the next wahm and, with time, you will become the seasoned professional you strive to be.
