How Do You Make Money Working from Home

The Concept of Thinking Outside the Cubicle

Monty Campbell
A friend of mine was recently laid off from his job. He left me know his situation and I said "Wow how fortunate for you such great timing". He looked at me as if I had two heads. I let him know that I had the same thing happen to me not to long ago. I also let him know that he must keep a positive outlook on life. When one door shuts another one opens. I had the same thing happen to me and have been blessed many ways ever since.

After my quick pep talk he had the dollars and cents question. He said "Ok I need to make some money, do you have any ideas?" I let him know that I had several ideas. All worked but all take time. But each allows you to work from home and make money.

Work From Home writing articles

When I mentioned working from home, he immediately said "How do you make money working from home?"

"Simple", I said "You can write for associated content."

I explained to him the basic concept of writing and article. I gave him samples of articles I've published. I let him know that he must set up a Paypal account to get paid. I also let he know that you must confirm your paypal account before you can receive funds. Last but not least, you must connect your Paypal account with a bank account to transfer funds. I let him know that there was a limit to the amount that you can transfer each month without a business account ($600 free transfer limit). I also said that is a great problem to have because it means you are making money working from home.

Work From Home selling on eBay

There are many stores that have an online presence. No store has a broad and online presence as eBay. You can maximize on the eBay market by selling what junk you have at home. They saying goes one man's trash is another man's treasure. On eBay you can sell literally anyone. I sold my kids old clothes. My son sold cookies. We as a family sold some crystal vases. As a whole eBay is a great business model. You put up the picture of what you are selling. Place it up for auction. Get the money and send the product. You don't need a store front and you can have a business up and running before you know it. Again you need a paypal account. You will have the 600 limit here also.

Work From Home Doing medical transcription

This is a little trickier role. You need to have some medical background to make this work. In a former life I worked as a project manager for a medical services company. We worked in an office and had liaisons working from home as transcription analyst. We also had people working in another country doing transcript analysis. Big picture, people do work from home as medical transcription analyst. The work from home liaison listen to recordings that doctors make on patients visits. The transcription analyst either types up the recording or edited typed recording for accuracy. Either way people that work in the medical transcription analysis role earn anywhere from $40,000 ~ $75,000 in an amazing process where they are making money working from home.

Working from Home By setting up a Juvenile or adult Daycare center

while this might not be the sexiest job in the world, it is highly needed. In fact, the federal government has set aside grants for people that want to start daycare centers. It is one of the few industries where the government does give you a grant to start it if you quality. Women Entrepreneurs of Baltimore is a great resource if you choose to start your business. The Daycare center industry is booming. My next door neighbor has had to pay over 300 a week for 3 days a week of day care service. That 300 a week translate to 500 for a full week. The day care center can hold approximately 8 children per adult. The big picture is you could make between $3,000 to $4,000 a week from home with a day care center my totals are estimate. I have seen people pay more and less that my neighbors. One thing is for certain, everyone with a baby and a job must pay.

My friend ended up working with me on a few projects and getting paid for it. He continues today to help me get projects done. Believe it or not, he works from home. He thinks some things are too good to be true. Since sometimes seeing believes, he now is a believer too.

    These are all great ideas. I've been very successful writing for AC. I do freelance writing as well. It's the perfect job for a stay-at-home mom or anyone who loves to write. Excellent article.
