Working from home
« on: March 23, 2016, 05:26:33 am »
Has anyone tried working from home and made decent money? Share the wealth of ideas ...lol
I just started with this company from home as a independent customer service contractor and the time you spend on the phone with some people just drain you but I can get used to it and possibly like doing this part time. Although it's a 1099, I don't think it will hurt me too much. :)

Hi Kimber.  Good luck on your new customer service venture.  I did cs once, in an office, and quickly discovered it's not for me.  Like you said, being on the phone with some people is draining, but at least you're working from home so I hope that makes it easier.  I, too, want to work from home and hope many people will reply to this thread with valuable info.  Like you said, share the wealth.  Enjoy your day.

I'd like to find a good work at home job, but it certainly wouldn't be in customer service! I'm not a people person, and the stress wouldn't be worth the money. (It doesn't help that you have to jump through so many hoops just to talk to a person when you call CS on the phone, that the customers end up being in a really bad mood by the time they get a live person to explain the problem to!)

I work for a large corporation and am able to work from home once a week which, I am sure, is not what you are looking for.  Today the campus closed because of an extreme snow storm in Colorado-I think that we have gotten around ten inches and there is no sign of the snow letting up. I work a full time night/weekend job that is purely contract loan underwriting and contract work by the project but I have been busy for over four years on that job.  I was hired because I have extensive experience in that field so that may not be helpful. I have been taking all of the income from my internet tasks and investing in a somewhat wise manner but this is more of a deferred compensation approach as I never do anything with the money except to make more money.  I guess I am not much help. Sorry.  Let us know if you find something that works?

Yeah.  I'm making great supplemental income with a work at home job.  And there is definitely the ability to turn it into full time income because I am building residual income.  I never thought I would get into network marketing but after a heart attack three years ago, at age 28, I was doing terrible afterwards and I found a whole food supplement that literally gave me my life back.  I share it with others and it has done tremendous things for a ton of people that I know.  I'm loving it.

Yeah, that's what the Doctors said!!!  I am doing great now and I see it as a true blessing.  I have made serious changes and I am sure the rest of my life will be better for it.

I've been blessed to have finally figured out at 40 what I'm suppose to do and working at home for me (Full time anyway) just isn't for me.  I do sites like FC.  But I also have a part time job.  As a professional cake decorator I'm not expanding to doing orders from my home.. someday I see myself having my own bakery.  My husband is completely self employed.  He does lawn maintenance and runs an e-bay store.  He loves it and never ever wants to go back to traditional work again.

I have friends that have started small businesses working from their homes. It IS possible but if you are looking for a job like this- visiting sites and such, I don't know how anyone could get rich of of just these types of sites!
