I want to work from home like you do.
What can I do?
How can I make money online?
These are questions that I get asked a lot. Just for the record, I am an HR trainer who decided to joining the "Work At Home Mom"'s club after my son was born. The transition was not too difficult and now I am a very happy WAHM. I work not more than three hours a day. I also love to spend time online so do a lot of blogging and write articles on sites similar to this one.
One of the most difficult things that I have do deal with is not the work that I do at home, but answering the questions that I get asked about it. Almost everyone I know is totally ignorant of the options and opportunities that a person has for making money online. And a lot of them feel that it is easy money, but it is not. You are still working for it.
So what all can you do online? You need to pick something that will complement your actual training. For instance I started with freelance writin jobs because I was always fond of reading and also am an Eng Lit Graduate. Since I had a background in HR I would pick projects that allowed me to write lesson plans or do training module development.
I am also very fond of cooking up puddings. That's why I enjoy sharing my recipes on my blog online. I am not comfortable selling other people's products so I am not interested in affiliate marketing. Also I would like to keep things digital as very often I can not access physical products because of my constant shifting thanks to my husband's job.
You want to make money online? You can do it, but it is not an easy ride. You do have to train yourself to do this. New skills need to be added to old ones and once you find a system that works for you, you will be set. The initial struggle in working online is just as bad as settling into a new office with no friends. If you can stick to it, you will succeed.
