About Working from Home
Many people find it appealing to do work from home. Whether it’s for family commitments or the fact that you don’t want to commute to the office only to deal with the politics there, you may find yourself in search of a legitimate way to earn money without leaving home. Fortunately, there are some legitimate opportunities that do exist.
Medical Transcription
If you can type fast and have medical knowledge, you should look into doing medical transcription. Typically, if you are well trained (many online programs do exist) you can find steady, well-paying work with local hospitals and doctors’ offices. Once you have some experience you can find legitimate opportunities for remote work.
Child Care
This is an obvious choice for anyone who wants to be home with their children but you’ll need to have enough room to be able to take in enough children to earn a decent income. Of course, you’ll also need to know your state’s laws as they will have specifications in place and you’ll not only need to abide by them but also have plenty of patience and entertainment to share too.
Writing and Editing Work
Anyone who’s skilled in the English language can find writing or editing jobs. The hourly rates for this job are great once you break through the fierce competition that exists. It’s best to get started is on a part-time basis because the work isn’t always steady. This way you’ll be able to save up a few months’ of expenses before you take the leap into writing or editing on a full-time basis.
Bookkeeping Services
Many businesses are in need of bookkeeping services. If you have the right education (i.e. a degree in accounting) and experience you may be able to earn a steady income at home working with only a few regular clients. You will need to be able to sell yourself to local businesses in your area though.
