More Work at Home Job Opportunities

Even though I have reached a level of moderate success with my 'work at home infomercial order taker job' it is important to develop other income streams. I am happy doing the business consulting work I'm now involved with but I would be lying if I said the income was great or that I am thrilled with having to work a set schedule. My real estate career spoiled me in that I worked an extremely flexible schedule. While I do set my own schedule now, once I commit to work certain hours I must work them. No more taking a morning or afternoon off to go to the doctor or play hooky.

eBay is always a business I am slowly building. There are many successful with eBay and I know if I chose to, I could probably replace my former income solely with eBay. The one thing holding me back from a full time eBay career is figuring out how to work it in with my full time call center schedule. I'm going to keep plugging away at it and find an eBay niche that works well for me.

Freelance work is very appealing. There are numerous sites touting the availability of freelance jobs in various fields. So far, I've done some freelance research work and found it very rewarding. The downside is the lack of steady income. Once again, this will be something I keep working to see how fruitful it proves to be.

Eventually I am going to find someone willing to pay me to stay home and play with my dogs. Until then, I will keep updating this site with my successes and failures.

With some you are an Independent Contractor with others you are an employee. Most will charge for a background check. Don't let this deter you. Good Luck. In a future post I will go more in depth with the other legitimate opportunities I've discovered.
