Working at home is something that everyone dreams of at one time or another. I mean seriously, who doesn’t want to earn their living from the comfort of their own home? Ok, I’m sure there are plenty of people who don’t, but the majority of us would much rather make our living from home as opposed to going to a job and dealing with all that crapevery day.

There are plenty of ways to make a living working at home. You can join a home business opportunity, create information products of your own to sell, market products as an affiliate, sell on ebay and other online auctions, sell your services as a freelancer, become a blogger, find a real work at home job, etc… Those are just some of the many ways you can work at home.

So, why do you want to work at home?

There are virtually endless reasons for why you might want to work at home but here are some of the reasons that I hear quite often:

1) Work at home part time to help get out of debt.

2) High gas prices and long commutes.

3) Tired of the corporate world.

4) Want more time with family.

5) Have to work at home due to a disability.

6) Lack of good jobs in your area.

7) Stay at home moms wanting/needing to contribute to the household income.

There are many other reasons why you might want or need to work at home. Your reasons may or may not be one the above list. It really doesn’t matter because whatever your why is for working at home, there are tons of benefits to it.

So now that you have thought about your reasons for wanting a work at home job, it’s time to start thinking about what avenue you are going to take in order to start making money from home. Contrary to what most people think, it’s really not very easy to find an actual “work at home job” online. There are seemingly countless home business opportunities out there but the real home jobs aren’t very easy to come by, and the ones you do find usually have a ton of competition trying to get them.

With that being said, there are still plenty of ways to work at home such as those I mentioned above at the beginning of this post. Most of them are not what you would typically call jobs from home or work at home jobs but they are definitely very good ways to make money from home.

If you are set on finding a real “work at home job” then here are some of the more popular ones; data entry, transcription, bookkeeping, clerical, name list processors, writing, virtual assistants, customer service, recruiting, phone actresses, paid to post, psychic readers, and telemarketing.

When looking for a work at home job remember that many places claiming to hire for jobs are actually just trying to sell you a product, program or an opportunity. Most of them aren’t really hiring for anything. You should never pay for a job. There is a big difference between a work at home job that you get hired and paid to do, and a home business, which will require some monetary investment on your part.

Also, remember that for every real and legitimate work at home job waiting for you there’s another one that is a complete scam. Be careful what you get yourself into and make absolutely sure you check it out first. Do your research before to prevent yourself from getting scammed.

Two so-called “work at home jobs” that I recommend you always avoid are envelope stuffing and assembly craft at home. Those have both proven to be scams many times so I would stay away from them. There might be some legitimate ones out there but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Ok now that you have decided on why you want to work at home and have a little more information about work at home jobs, I think it’s time for you to get out there and start making your living from home!

Are you trying to figure out where to buy Sarah Palin shoes? Those great looking shoes she was wearing the other night when she gave her acceptance speech? Obviously they are chic enough to be worn to the office or for a night out on the town. They were Naughty Monkey Double Dare Pumps and you can get them at these three places online: (note as of 10/1/08 all places have color red on backorder due to their tremendous popularity)

1) www.endless.com

2) (ShoeMall.com)

3)Double Dare Pumps on Ebay   **only place RED is available as of 10/9/08**

John McCain’s choice of Govenor of Alaska Sarah Palin is one of the most “crazy like a fox” choices and  is revitalizing the Republican’s campaign and has every one talking. Sarah Palin’s hair style is all the rage, the Kawasaki 704 rimless Sarah Palin glasses she wore are flying off the shelves, and now the Naughty Monkey Sara Palin shoes are a big hit too. Right now the red color is sold out in most locations but other colors are available.

If there is one thing Sarah Palin is not it is that she is not a work at home Mom. In this day and age where more and more women are trying to find ways to work from home so that they can spend more time with the kids, Sarah Palin is one step away from uprooting her whole family and moving to Washington.

One of the silliest arguments against her that I have heard is that she has no family values. The argument goes that she is not doing what is best for her family because if she gets elected then she will obviously have less time to spend with her children. What the Liberals don’t get, however (and they never will), is the concept of putting your country first. Sarah Palin is in the unique position to serve her country in a capacity that no woman has ever done before. For this opportunity, she is willing to put her family second and I am sure they will be just fine with her stay at home husband in charge.

The Democrats loved JFK who gave his most famous speech in which he said “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.”

The new Liberals of the Democrat party think that statement should be turned around. They don’t care one bit about helping this country and in fact are openly embarrassed by it. The Democrats want to know what this country can do for them and not what they can do for the country. They want handouts, freebies, free health-care, social services, and anything else they can get their hands on. What they really want is Canada and socialism. They don’t give a rats ass about the USA.

Sarah Palin is exactly what this country needs right now. She is getting more popular by the minute and has ignited a eyeglass fashion frenzy (where to buy Sarah Palin glasses), has Sarah Palin action figures, the Sarah Palin hairstyle, the Sarah Palin smile, and who knows what else, all in less than a week. If she is not an example to young girls and women then I don’t know what is.

Sarah Palin could have never run for government office and decided to do what so many other women are doing nowadays: look for work at home jobs. Instead, she decided to see what she could do to make her state of Alaska a better place and she just might end up making America a better place as well.

***10/11/08 Update*** These glasses are almost impossible to find in stock now but there is a seller who has them here on Ebay - Kawasaki 704 Series. This seller has several colors in stock including the hard to get color grey #34. (sold out now) You will have to sign up to Ebay if you are not already a member to buy them. This is the only place I could find any of the color grey #34 in stock.

Are you wondering “where can I buy Sarah Palin glasses”? Sarah Palin’s glasses are such a super hot item right now that you can look everywhere but you won’t find them at any retail outlet or in any store. But you can order the exact same glasses for $325.00 at GlassesEtc.com. Unfortunately, the only way to get the color grey (#34) Kawasaki glasses is to order them and wait like everyone else. IF YOU WANT THESE FOR CHRISTMAS YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO ORDER AND WAIT - there is not much more you can do as demand is exceeding supply everywhere as I am sure you have read. <–New shipments coming in October 20!

You can also order the exact Kazuo Kawasaki 704 series plus a lot more of his glasses here at FramesDirect.com. These titanium glass frames are great for the business woman and anyone else. Whether you work from home or at an office, these Kawasaki 704 series glasses are just the right look for the modern working woman.

“We keep getting calls from dealers who want to stock the exact shape and style that she’s wearing,” says Amy Hahn, vice president at Italee, the U.S. distributor of the frames designed by Kazuo Kawasaki, a Japanese industrial designer.

The Sarah Palin glass frames from Kawasaki are near impossible to find right now and you can’t just walk down to your local eyeglass frame store and get them because they are special designer frames.  These aren’t the knock offs, these are the real Kawasaki 704’s. The Sara Palin rimless frame — minus the lenses — starts at a suggested $375. Depending on the type of lenses, the total package can run to $700. But that seems to be a price that people are willing to pay. If McCain / Palin get elected, these Sarah Palin’s eyeglasses will be in style for a long time.

According to USA Today, “Her family helped pick the final style.  The frames Palin picked help her look fashion-forward.”

Aren’t you tired of having your Craigslist posts flagged and deleted? Do you post your ads only to find out five minutes later that someone has flagged them and they are deleted? What’s the deal with these flaggers? I mean, it doesn’t even seem to matter what kind of ad you put up, someone will flag it. I put an ad up for a car I was selling and the next day I discovered my Craigslist post had been flagged and was gone. How do you post on Craigslist and make it stick?

The problem is that it is not the Craigslist staff that are flagging and deleting ads. It is regular people like you and me! Are there really people who have no life and just sit there and flag Craigslist posts all day? What kind of losers are these people? I mean really, I don’t have time to keep posting and listing and having most of my Craigslist ads flagged and deleted.

That is why I am glad I found the Tireless Traffic Technique that sends me a steady stream of targeted traffic day after day. This is a cheap $7.00 ebook that can be downloaded instantly and will tell you how you can get a steady stream of free targeted traffic that comes to your site day after day. After you read the Tireless Traffic Technique, you might decide to not even bother with the frustrations of trying to post your ads on Craigslist everyday. I hardly ever bother posting on Craigslist anymore because I don’t have to anymore and this cheap $7.00 ebook will get rid of all your Craigslist posting headaches too.

Work from home jobs sound great on the surface but they do bring to the table a different set of challenges. It’s wonderful to be your own boss and work at home but you might find it becomes lonely after a while if you are used to being around people. If you only work from home part time you might not notice it but if you do find a real work at home job where all your work is done from home and you never have to leave the house, you might begin to miss the social interaction of the workplace.

If you are to seriously work from home, you must be a person who is able to motivate yourself constantly. In a workplace such as an office, there is really nothing to do other than work. Yes, you can talk to co-workers and maybe dream about taking a nap, but only the “talking to co-workers” is a real option. When you are at home working, the nap also becomes a very doable option and things other than naps become temptations as well. Extra breaks, TV breaks, surfing the Internet, talking on the phone and all sorts of other things start to come in to play when you don’t have a structured work environment.

When you are in a workplace cubicle, everyone else is working around you so it is not hard to get work done yourself. If you were to work from home, whether it be one of those full time legitimate work at home jobs or a part time data entry job, there is no one else there to motivate you to work. The line between your home life and work-life can become blurred as you are always at home. This is definitely one of the advantages of actually leaving your home and going in to an office where you are around others who are also working.

1) Make sure you have a room in your house that is your “office” where you work. This helps you separate your “work” life from your “home” life.

2) Set a schedule and stick to it. Start work the same time everyday, eat lunch at the same time, and do everything else as close to a set schedule as you can. This brings structure to any home based jobs that you might take on.

3) Make sure you have a desk and chair that is both functional and comfortable. In other words, don’t work off of your cofee table that you got from downstairs and a chair that was in the kitchen.

4) Decide whether you are going to be working 7 days a week (all the time) or whether you will stick to a 9 to 5 type schedule. With work from home jobs, it is easy to start to work more than if you had to go to an outside place of business. You might have to force yourself to quit sometimes.

5) Leave your house at least one time a day. Go grocery shopping, take a walk, take a drive, visit friends, or do whatever to get yourself out of the house and into the real world. It is easy to get in a bad habit of being at home all the time when you have that “at home job”.

6) Set goals or have a list of things you want to accomplish just like you would have at an office. At a “real” job you would probably have a boss who gives you a list of things to do. With work at home jobs, you have to be that boss and make a list of all the things you need to get done every day.

7) Don’t procrastinate during the day’s work hours only to have to work late and thus taking yourself away from your family life. Again, set a schedule and stick to it so that you can at some point leave your work behind.

8) Change into real clothes everyday and do not work in your pajamas. The longer you go everyday in your pajamas the less likely that you will get around to taking them off.
