How do you get started at working from home jobs?

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to get started at a real job working from home. I want to start my degree in medical assisting but between my husband going to school and working nights it just seems that one of us has to either do one or the other or one does both while the other one just does one of them.

Most work at home jobs only pay minimum wage. Not enough hours for you to work if you are going to get a degree, no matter what your field is. You will need time to study, school hours etc.
I would suggest starting a home based business. One that you can work the hours you want and one that has a residual side to it. Without knowing what things you like to do, it's difficult to refer you over to different business's to take a look at that would allow you to bring in a sufficient amount of income without having to put in a full time days worth of work if you utilize the time you have.

Most home based business cost under $500. Some cost more depending on what it is you want to do. I don't know what you like to do, so I can only tell you what my husband and I started over six years ago and point you out to some others to take a look at. Ours well supports our family as well as a major funding source for our non-profit organization that we started up a while back with part of the income we earned. As well as it's a funding source for other non-profit organizations.
Anyhow, we got involved in the telecommunications industry.
With a world wide company that's over 15 years old. We've been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 rated us the 22nd fastest growing company. They offer services that people use every day and pay for anyway, but now they can have a lower cost. Services such as local and long distance phones, Internet, digital phones, video phones (you can see the person your taking to live)VOIP, Satallite tv, and all the major cellular phone companies like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Alltell, Nextell etc. have partnered up with them too.
How many people do you know, or know of, that uses or has one or more of these services? How would you feel if you could save people money on services that they're most likely already using, if not you can offer them the service, and everytime they pay their bills each month, you make a percentage off these bills every single month. Huge income opportunity. It's incredible how much money is involved in this industry. so anyhow, this is what my husband started doing over six years ago and it well supports our family of 6 (we have four children)

If you'd like more information feel free to email me and I'll be happy to pass it along to you.

I also created a blog on my 360 page on home based business's. There's over half a dozen different ones to take a look at. Your more then welcome to browse through them. If you find one that's interesting, contact the person who wrote it and they can point you out in the right direction.

If you live in the US and are looking for something that is structured... a JOB, where you have set hours, get paid hourly, etc... send me an email through my profile and I will forward links to some sites that offer JOBS... there are application processes, telephone interviews, etc... not these cheesy "sign up here for data entry work" that ask for money.

Good luck, hope this helps.

I've worked several at home jobs with legitimate companies - they DO exist contraty to what some may say.

If you're looking for a work from home JOB (not a home based business), there are lots of companies who hire for call center type positions. And don't listen to the nay-sayers who say work from home and telecommuting jobs are all scams or that there aren't real jobs. There are. You just have to know where to look and how to avoid the scams.

Do NOT pay for a list of jobs or pay to get a job. There are a few of the legitimate companies that, after you have qualified for the job, ask you to pay for a background check if you will be handling sensitive information like credit cards. It's usually $20-$30 and from legitimate companies is a legit fee to pay. Other than that, there is no reason or need to pay anything if you just want a job. Some of the call center jobs, you are an independent contractor (IC) and some you are an employee.

If you want to start a home based business, there will be fees involved and business expenses. There are many legit business opportunities out there in direct sales, multi-level and network marketing. There are great companies to work with, but having a business isn't for everyone.

hi dear ,
I too have said those words.During my first 2 years as a struggling home
business entrepreneur dreaming of making money and leading a free lifestyle,
I made many mistakes.
Some of those mistakes cost me money...
Others caused me heartache...

But I have also made a handful of good decisions too, and at the top of that
list is my decision to become a member of the IAHBE.
The IAHBE (http://www.iahbe.org) stands for
International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs. In one sentence,
it is simply:

"An Online University with a collection of the best home business
information, reports, articles, seminars and other content put under one
roof."

Being an exclusive paid membership resource, I was very half-hearted at
first at the thought of spending a good $29 for something as intangible as
"information". As I once asked myself, many people now ask me this question:

"Can't I get this information for FREE on the Internet?
So why do I need to pay for it?"

I have to admit that this is a valid question. And I have to agree that you
CAN find similar (but not exact) information for free, scattered around the
Internet. So why choose the IAHBE? How can it help you?

Let me tell you my personal experience first..
As a budding home business entrepreneur, my survival depended on how well I
controlled my meager finances and small capital. And yet, every business
owner knows the costs associated when starting your business. For example, I
had to spend on:

a) My personal growth - books, ebooks, reports
b) Advertising - ezine ads, PPC, leads and print media ads
c) Operations - PC software, productivity tools

I had, at that time, spent close to $3000 just getting started. Most that
was spent on useless website traffic schemes, so called "targeted" home
business leads, books, software and PPC advertising.
But in my second month as a member of the IAHBE, I realized that I actually
have hundreds of unused coupons, discounts and special offers for the same
products and services that I paid the full price for elsewhere.
How can the
IAHBE do this?
It's a question of simple economics:

"What you cannot achieve as an individual, you can easily achieve as a
group."

Since the IAHBE has thousands of members, they can easily negotiate for
special bulk discounts, free trials, and even free gifts from various
suppliers, manufacturers and retailers.
Now ask this question for your self

"Do you want to spend time finding information, or do you want to spend time
building a business?"

The reason is this;
If you're perfectly happy running around chasing information, instead of
actually building a business, you don't need the IAHBE. If you want to learn
only from truly successful people, and get the information delivered to your
doorstep, there is no smarter choice.

After all, it only costs you around a dollar a day. Heck, even useless
'lifestyle' magazines cost more :)

Take it form a guy who learned the hard way...

Take it from a guy who is a member and 100% believer in the IAHBE, and how it can change your life.

This is a popular saying, and I want you to understand it's meaning:

"When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Will Appear"

In the story of my life as an entrepreneur, the teacher did appear indeed, but only after I was ready; only after I DECIDED that I was going to succeed, no matter what the cost, and no matter how long it took...

And I found not one, not two, but dozens of teachers, all of them experts in their own chosen field.

So the question is really this : Are YOU Ready?

* Are you ready to get serious in your home based business?
* Are you ready to stop wasting time and money?
* Are you ready to get REAL home business advice from REAL experts?

If you are, then the IAHBE will change your life too. Trust me on this...

hey, did i told you......
Just for trying the IAHBE, you'll also get $1,000 in free tools and resources that can get your business up and running as smooth as a well-oiled machine. Even if you decide the IAHBE is not for you, you can keep these free tools and put them to work in your business right away!
you can cancel anytime within 30 days if you feel you don't need this membership. If that is not fair, I don't know what is! Sign up now!

I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.

Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.

What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.

Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website, accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, processing and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.

If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.

I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $3500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $6000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $102,000 a year with this company.

The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.

I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!

I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.

Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : - )

When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?

Check them out! Just type in www.workathomeplus.net in your web browser.
