New To Working From Home?

Me & My Babies!

My boys and I at the beach

Are you interested in working from home but don’t know where to start?  If you answered YES you’re in the right place. I’m so happy to have you here! I’ve got a list of advice and pages for you to go through. It’s all broken down into bite size pieces to get through pretty easily.

1. First of all I recommend reading How To Work From Home.

2. Second, check out our weekly jobs list, Home Jobs List . This takes you to our category page which will have the newest home jobs list at the top and the previous ones below it. There is a new list of jobs posted each week. Sometimes we post more than one list per week. This list will give you an idea of what kind of employment opportunities are  open each week. If you want a new list of jobs sent to your email as soon as we post them please subscribe to our newsletter (over there in the sidebar of our page) and RSS feed.  This way you see the job openings before everyone else does. You can also join our community on facebook so you can connect & interact with moms, dads, and other work at home professionals. I’m always there so it’s a great place to ask me questions as well!

3. Want to know what kind of job you can do from home?  Although this is not a comprehensive list, here are many of the Types of Jobs AvailableTop 10 At Home Jobs By Job Title + 5 Top Money-Making Work At Home Ideas You can also browse through our Home Job Ideas series for moms

4. NEVER EVER pay to apply for a job. If someone asks you for money to apply for a job, it is a scam!  However, home business opportunities  do require a monetary investment.  Please read Who Can I Trust For At Home Employment & watch this FTC video about work at home job scams. However here are some legitimate fees you may have to pay when working from home.  If you are still not sure feel free to contact me.

5. Read our post, Myths About Working From Home Via The Internet and What A Work From Home Job is NOT! These two blog posts really gives you more insight into what it’s like to work from home.

6. Once you find a home job you’d like to apply for please read our Online Job Application Tips post. This will increase your chances of getting an interview and possibly getting the job you want!

7. Common Terms You Should  Be Familiar With When Wanting To Work From Home - freelance vs telecommuting is discussed here as well as various other terms we use here on a daily basis. This is article is very helpful to those of you who are new to the idea of working from home.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to connect with me on Twitter where I share my daily life in 140 characters or less,  and don’t forget to join us on Facebook. I’ll be adding to this page as time permits. There are still many many more resources to be added to this page.

  46. Nena Hoover says:

    I’m a single mom, in dire need of a job. Welfare, and W.I.C refuse to assist me and my child due to the fact that we live with family. I’ve applied for jobs all over town but am constantly watching my application get shredded right in front of me as the next person in line gets the job without a word. I’m constantly being told you will never work again by the jobs in this town. I don’t understand why, but am in great distress for work. I have no one to trust with my child, so staying at home is my only option. Greatly look forward to your wisdom and help in a huge way.
