When you are looking at a working from home job option, whether it is an opportunity to transition from your office job to home based job, or your looking at starting a working from home base business, part time online job to supplement your current work, or a side hustle to eventually get out of the normal 9 – 5 grind, there are many things that you need to take into consideration. Below is a list of Work from Home jobs that could work for you! There is one at the end that will surprise you! Working From Home Jobs
Working from Home Jobs – For a Boss
If you are someone who works in an office for an employer, then you may be able to have this transition into working from home whether working from part time or working full time. This will depend on the type of work you are involved. There are some jobs that working from home would not be an option. If your line of work would support working from then you will have to approach your employer and ask if this would be something they would consider. Before you do that however, you will need to prepare a case to put them, emphasising the benefits to the business. Asking your employer to work from home can be daunting but the upside for both can be worth the initial fear.
Sell your own physical product
Selling your own physical product is a great way to differentiate yourself.
You may already design clothing, create art or produce jewellery that you can sell on platforms like Etsy, EBay, Amazon or even create a site through Spotify.
Amazon FBA, which is fulfilled By Amazon, is where you can source a product, manly from the likes of China, ship the product to an Amazon fulfilment centre, create the listing and sell the items on Amazon. Amazon does most of the heavy lifting by storing the product, shipping the product, handling the exchange of money and handling the returns. Although this is not quite your product you can private label and put your label on the product your selling. Although not something you are creating with your bare hands, it is something that you are creating that solves a problem, with a product that already exists. The downside to this is that you must have some capital invested before you see any returns. You will also have to deal with the beast that Amazon is.
Having said this, Amazon is a great platform takes a lot of the back end work a normal bricks and mortar store would have to deal with. If this sounds like you then I highly recommend following Adam Hudson at Reliable Education. Reliable Education have the runs on the board, with multiple students making huge amounts of money monthly following his course, strategies and humble approach. He also provides an amazing carpool coaching almost every day, giving you his experience through his life journey, the good, the bad and how he has achieved the success through hard work. Follow him at least on Instagram, he has changed my life.
Another great way to sell physical products is to create a Shopify Store, list the product and when the item sells and you notify the suppler, they ship the item direct to the purchaser. With this method you put a lot of trust in the supplier and the key is to build a good relationship with your supplier to ensure your client remains satisfied with the service.
Sell your own digital product
Selling a digital product is different to a physical product. Getting a physical product can take weeks and months before it becomes available to sell, whereas a digital product can be produced and available in weeks. The advantages are is that there are no postage costs, no storage costs, no trips to the post office, infinite stock and immediate access. You can reach a larger audience with no restrictions with time zones and you can reach people that have a similar interest.
