Working from home is something a lot of us would like to do. It isn't always possible, but the advantages are great. You can set your own hours, do what you want to do for a living, be your own boss, and decide for yourself what your paycheck is going to be week to week. Of course, there are a lot of things you can do, but don't limit yourself to the traditional ideas. There are plenty of things you can do!
Professional fundraising is perhaps one of the most overlooked jobs one can do from home. There are many companies looking for money for a movie production, gas and oil well investment, business startups, even political causes. The pay is very good as fundraising can be a tough business, especially when the economy turns downwards. Still, if you have the tenacity to spend time on the phone establishing rapport with your contacts, you can earn some very good money fundraising.
Debt collection isn't like it was in the old days, and can be a viable option for someone who wants to work from home. There are many companies who do third-party debt collection and are actively seeking people who want to work from home. It doesn't matter if you are in their office or in your spare bedroom, someone needs to contact these debtors and work out some type of repayment. There is very good money in the collections business for those of you who have the ability to gain trust and help people who really want to get out of debt.
Selling advertising is another option. Many people have set up their own low-cost websites where they sell advertising. Of course, you'll have to make some phone calls and send out some emails to get it started, but it can be very lucrative. There are folks selling ads for cars, vacation homes, cleaning services, bullion and numismatics, almost everything. You typically charge a small amount to place an advertisement online with a photo and contact information. The next step is to drive as much Internet traffic to these ads as possible. This type of business can take a bit longer to get going, but can be a full-time income.
In short, you have many options, many of which involve just offering a service and making phone calls. As long as you have a quiet office to work from, a professional speaking voice, and the will to make sales and build relationships, you can have a good income working from home. Your next step should be to make a list of companies that offer work from home, see if they need a phone salesperson and discuss the offers to see which one is the best bet for you!
