Want to Work At Home? Perhaps Self-Employment Or Telecommuting Will Make It

http://incomewave.ws/3stepsecret.htm

The typical dream image of the person working at home almost always involves
pink fuzzy slippers, an oversized coffee mug, and a relaxed atmosphere. Yet
not all that glitters is gold, and there are some very serious pitfalls that
have to be avoided in order to make working at home a profitable reality for
anyone who is willing to give it a try. To this end, there are usually two
avenues available to anyone ready to give it a go: self employment and
telecommuting. While both of these options will allow you to stay at home in
pursuit of profit, they each have their pitfalls, and before you decide to
embark on either one of them, make sure that you weight the pros and cons!

For example, while so many late night commercials are filled with smiling
mothers who are seeing their little ones off to school only to return home
at a leisurely pace to sell a product for an international company. Quite
often this product is a nutritional supplement for weight loss, beauty, or
overall health. What the commercials fail to mention is the fact that some
of these supplements are dangerous to people with certain ailments, and the
fear of not making a sale will quite often put blinders on anyone trying to
make a living while earning only straight commissions. If you are a
self-employed representative for such a supplement company, the odds are
good that in case of a problem a customer will come looking to you as well
as the company for compensation. Unless you have taken proper legal steps to
protect your home and assets, you may end up losing everything you have
worked so hard to achieve!

While this may make you now consider telecommuting, keep in mind that this
field has its pitfalls as well. For example, while your boss in the office
will appreciate your hard work and dedication when she or he sees you
burning the midnight oil to get a project finished, she or he will most
likely not have a lot of appreciation for you when you do the same thing at
home. Conversely, if you do manage to achieve the almost impossible
deadlines while telecommuting, the odds are good that you will be facing
tighter and tighter deadlines. Since you are most likely not an hourly
employee, this means that you may end up working 20 hours in one day, and
still only get paid what you normally would. As you can see, it does not add
up to profit.

To this end, sit down and find out exactly what it will take to make your
work at home dream a profitable reality. Do not too quickly lunge at an
opportunity that at second glance is little more than an anchor weighing you
down.
