Work at Home Info and Advice

When thinking about working at home there are many things to consider. Where you are going to do, what you are going to do, the benefits, such as being at home, and working hours you want, and the consequences of doing it, having to have all quiet for phone calls, less social interaction than the work place, how it affects your taxes, and if you will get any benefits. Most work at home jobs, are through companies as independant contractors instead of employees, so you are considered self employed which can affect your taxes, also because you are not an employee there may not be health benefits, vacation, or any other kinds of benefits that you may get with an on site job. Be careful when searching online for work from home, there are many scams out there, but the most important rule to go by is you do not have to work someone to work for them. What I usually do is try things out, send my resume, email information etc, and if I get asked for money I just delete the information and/or tell them I am not interested. There are a few websites that help to find scams. Ripoffreport is one, and the better business bureau is another. It might also be good to join a few forums on the subject of work from home, great forums I have used are WAHM and work place like home.
