Earn money working from home

Working and earning money from home can look like a dream, but it can also be a reality. You can be cautious of the methods of making money by working at home, but they do exist. Here are some of them :

Contract and freelance work are often used interchangeably, but there are a few subtle differences. Many of the home-based “jobs” you’ll find on career sites hire workers as contractors instead of employees. These contract jobs can be full or part-time, and as regular as a traditional job, including a steady income. The difference is that contractors are considered independent from the company for tax purposes and therefore, need to manage their own self-employment taxes.

Invest in creating a comfortable office. Deb McAlister-Holland, a freelance marketing professional in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, says the $5,000 she spent remodeling her home office was the best thing she ever did to increase her productivity. “I love my home office. It has a big leather sofa, three walls covered with built-in bookshelves and storage cabinets, dedicated circuits for my computers, special lighting, and a soft hand-woven rug on the floor that’s the perfect spot for my dog to nap while I work,” she says. Frank Niles, co-founder and partner of Fayetteville, Arkansas-based Scholar Executive Group, a boutique executive coaching and executive counseling firm, sings a similar tune. “It may sound trivial but it’s not–also buy yourself a comfortable business chair,” he says. “You’ll be more inclined to stay working… As a result, you’ll be more productive.” See extra info on Earn A Regular Income From Home.

Another popular freelance platform is Fiverr. It’s similar to Upwork as you can get paid to do just about any task where the completed work can be delivered electronically and setting up a profile here gives you additional exposure to potential freelance clients. Fiverr gets its name from the fact the freelancers can charge $5 (or more) per gig. For select tasks, some sellers charge up to $10,000 per task. Now that’s a serious payday! Many Fiverr customers like to hire freelancers like you to design eBook covers, create company logos, write blog posts, create digital videos and audio recordings, and other tasks they don’t have the skills to complete. My wife and I have personally used Fiverr to hire somebody to create a book cover for a self-published book. One the gig is complete, you get paid.
