Real Work at Home Jobs – What to Look For

Real Work at Home Jobs - What to Look For

Are you one of those who are earning money by working on your home computer? In your opinion, can you consider your job a real job? So how does real work at home jobs differ from just any of the web-based jobs that are coming out nowadays?

When speaking of real work maybe the first thing that would come into your mind is the working permit. Every company must have a working permit in order to continue with whatever functions that the company wishes to apply to the market. These workers at home are also hired permanently in those real companies and establishments that we are well aware of.

Here are some of those real work at home jobs with real rules and processes which is basically the same in the corporate industry.

• Agents – these are the workers who are responsible to give customer service for company’s clients. Some companies are open to letting their employees work at home but still be monitored through the time they communicate with every client.
• Virtual Assistant – these includes clerical and technical support to company’s clients. More likely the same with an agent except that it specifies the fields where an employee can only can work and deal with.
• Web developer – basically programmers and designers. They will be accepting orders and instructions through email or online communication and in return submit their job through online as well.
• Online tutors – comprises English, math, and different language tutors. This way you can either talk to the students through chat messages or voice chat. For part timers, you have to give your free time for your schedule and make sure it matches to the time they needed, which is very convenient to those students or employees who are having other obligations to think about.
• Typists- or otherwise called as transcriptionists. These are usually editors of some paper works like term papers, books, and reports.

The jobs mentioned above may be easy but is also hard to apply. In order for a home-based job to be real, the negotiation between this real work at home jobs must be done personally. It is important that both parties, the employer and employee, will have a formal arrangement about the rules of how the work will flow. This is to avoid from any scam and they will work with what the rules had stated.

    I am a Mother of 2 boys ages two and four. I stopped working full time when my first was born. About 6 months ago I started my own business from home as an independent distributor for an anti-cancer and anti-aging food product. It has been getting a lot of press recently (Oprah did a whole show on it). I do it part time completely around my kids schedules. My approach has been to host "tasting" parties at my home several times a month. This has been a great way to introduce new people to either use the product or become a distributor like myself. I really researched the company and it is first class all the way. Good luck to your sister!

    Yup, I love what I do! I've been doing in home spa parties since January and it's been really great for my family and I. Like you said, get rich schemes are not very realistic, and this is certainly a business you have to put some work into. I make an average of $400 or more if I put more time into it.

    The parties are FUN and take about 2 hours. I go to a home, set the spa experience up, and everyone gets to treat their hands and do a 4 step pedicure treatment. Everyone adores the parties and I have no troubles getting bookings that suit my schedule. Plus, because it is a small but quickly growing company, there isn't really any competition for what I do out there!

    If you're interested, check out the sites below and then email me at sabrina@spagirlparties.com. I can email you more info, no strings attached. :) I know what it's like to need the extra money, and because I actually really enjoy what I do I'd like to share the info! (And fyi, I have never ever considered any other company that does parties… I found this one and something told me to try it – it's been so fabulous for us!)

    I know a lot of both men and women who work at home. Some have part time jobs, some have full time jobs and some have their own businesses that they work from home. What type of income are you looking at making? Two ways you can work from home . One is applying to a company in which you qualify for the positions for a home job. I don't know what your qualifications are, what your experiences are, so I'm not sure where to refer you over to. Here's an article that I read that's really good that has a couple places that are legitament businesses that you can apply for.
    http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-gGICILgncrAcleHpY.CJKODazA–?cq=1
    Another way is having your own home based business in an industry that you have interest in. They give you an opportunity to make the same amount of money as a traditional business, without all the over head expenses and they cost a fraction of the amount. Most cost under $500.
    If this is the type of stay home job you are looking for, here's an article that gives a lot of information on home based businesses and several industries for you to look into. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-eqfAfFMlcqA8fDHDwdpcueRYyTm4;_ylt=AjZ5KNuZY8DCg2nGfpnQUXu0AOJ3
    Good luck!

    Need Flexibility? Work From Home
    Virtual Call Centers Offer Employees a Chance to Earn Money Without Leaving the House
    By TORY JOHNSON
    Aug. 30, 2006 — – There's a growing option for moms or others who are looking for jobs with a lot of flexibility — employment at a virtual call center. As customer service representatives, agents at a virtual center take incoming calls and handle requests through a computer networked within the company — and they can do it all from home.
    This is a great opportunity for stay-at-home moms, military spouses, disabled or physically challenged men and women, and those who are the primary caregivers to children or parents. It offers the ultimate in flexibility — you schedule your own hours. In this case, working from home is not only a benefit, it's a requirement of the job.
    There are about 100,000 home-based agents now in the United States. That number is expected to triple to 300,000 by 2010, according to industry research group IDC. That's because large companies recognize enormous financial savings from using home-based agents. About 1,000 businesses in the United States are doing it now — and more are catching on daily because there is lower turnover, improved productivity and no costly overhead.
    As holiday planning kicks in to gear toward the end of the year, there is always great demand for customer service representatives. It takes anywhere from three to six weeks to get hired, so you'll want to start right now to get onboard with this line of work.
    Tools and Temperament
    There are two crucial, must-haves for doing this kind of work — the right tools and the right temperament.
    For tools, a computer, high speed Internet access, a land-line telephone to handle incoming calls, and a quiet work space are necessities. There are no exceptions to these four firm requirements.
    If you meet those, then you can fill out an online application. Get started by visiting the sites of three leaders in the field: Alpine Access (www.alpineaccess.com), VIPDesk (www.vipdesk.com), and Arise (www.arise.com). Hiring is handled online and on the phone, which mirrors the type of work you're doing. Expect to be tested in typing, writing, language and computer skills. And some companies also require drug testing and background checks.
    There's a sophisticated screening process to determine whether someone has the right personality and temperament to work as a home-based agent. During the interview, expect to provide anecdotes that speak to some of the key traits they're looking for.
    You need to be a self-starter — motivated to work without a manager looking over your shoulder. Even though you're working at home, punctuality is a must. They will be counting on you to log in at a specific time to cover the phones. You must be organized to keep track of your own schedule.
    And you have to be entrepreneurial. This is a home-based business, and if you want to succeed, you really have to focus and go for it. Not everyone is cut out for this kind of work — you have to thrive on running your own show. If you work best as a member of a team, or in a more structured environment, this kind of home-based call center work probably isn't for you.
    Business Opportunity or Employment?
    Alpine Access is the only major virtual call center that hires home-based agents as employees. Willow CSN and VIPDesk, for example, require agents to incorporate as independent contractors. The main difference is that contractors must handle all their own taxes. Tens of thousands of agents do this with ease — it's like running your own home-based business, which makes that entrepreneurial sensibility even more important.
    All three of the companies will allow you to decide the types of clients you'd like to service. If you love flowers, maybe you'll be assigned to handle calls for a national florist. If money matters are your cup of tea, then a financial institution could be your client.
    So have an idea of what types of businesses you're interested in when you start the interviewing.
    Potential Drawbacks
    Loneliness and isolation must be considered before you enter into this kind of work. If you thrive on the camaraderie of the workplace and you don't like to work independently, then this isn't right for you.
    Alpine Access, Willow CSN and VIPDesk are well aware of this potential problem. To help agents overcome the isolation, they work diligently to create a strong sense of community through regional events, conference calls, contests and mentoring relationships.
    Time and Money
    Most companies will want you to commit to working at least 15 to 20 hours a week — otherwise the training and scheduling isn't really worth it. Some agents work 40 to 60 hours a week if they can handle that volume.
    Expect to earn between $8 and $15 an hour, based on experience, call volume and the type of clients you're handling. A retailer might not require the same skills and knowledge as a financial institution, so the pay scale might differ a bit. Many agents can earn commissions for successful sales and upgrades on the incoming calls.
    Some companies pay based on the number of calls you take — so you're only paid while you're on the phone. Others pay by hour, from clock-in to clock-out, so be sure you ask about how you're paid before committing to one company over another.
    Training is Often Unpaid
    You're trained specifically for the company you're handling calls for, so you'll know their products and policies inside and out, and you'll learn their technology too.
    In some cases, the training period is considered an investment on your part, meaning you usually do not get paid for it. For the employer, it helps ensure that you're really motivated to make money in this fashion.
