How To Start Working From Home Today

By Kathy Jones


The ability to work from home today is very appealing to literally millions of people worldwide. Working from home means that you get the flexibility to live life on your own terms and not to have your daily actions dictated to your by the boss.In this article we will look at a number of methods for how you can start working from home today, as well as reveal one of the best ways to fully take your financial freedom into your own hands.

By working from home on your blog, you will need to attract a lot of traffic; you have to often post articles that are very catchy and interesting at your own time as it is your part time work. The appearance of your blog and the content in it does not really matter, what really matters is the niche that you have specialized in. By using interesting posts and other multimedia's as well as being creative, you can attract many readers and make money on your part time work.

As your part time work entails posting articles frequently on your post working from home, you can get a number of new guest readers. You will also have to market it among your friends and family just working from home, who can then share this to the various social networks thus bringing in more audience. By finding other blogs that you can get a thing or two out of and commenting on their post, you can also get a number of new readers. However, this takes quite a lot of time and so you will have to be patient, bearing in mind that it is just your part time work. It may even take you a couple of months, and so at the time being, you should start building a community of followers.

Second, as mentioned, one of the HR goals is to ensure productivity from each working employee in the organization. This objective is realized and gauged in terms of standard working hours. Because they no longer work onsite, regardless of the company's encouragement to play under the same rules even when they are already working from home, inevitably the telecommuters are likely to feel unbound to keep rules and regulations set and only apply in the actual workplace. Also, they see it as an opportunity that gives them liberty to develop their own rules that are not in harmony to the HR goals and play under the same condition. Thus, these rules offer leverage to complete tasks based only on the number of hours required to finish a specific job. In other words, if tasks in one day are completed in four hours or less, that concludes the business working day. Distinctively, this issue will result to violation against standard working hours and contributes negative impact to companywide HR goals. Undeniably, some would suppose that the remaining hours be spent to redouble the tasks more than a telecommuter is assigned to complete. This is not so. Majority of what happens in the real world is the actual opposite of the assumption.

Third, tasks completed without spending eight hours of honest work from home will result to telecommuter's likability to slack-off from work. This seemingly unpleasant activity of the telecommuter is obviously offensive to company's mission and vision goals. For example, an employee who is allowed to telecommute come from a company that requires him (apart from working onsite) to work eight hours a day; forty hours a week, well monitored in terms of job performance, paid fix monthly salary including: bonuses, premium benefits, incentives, scholarships grants for selected members in the family and etc. Under the same rules, he works as the other employees who do work in the office but failed to religiously work in standard working hours not because the tasks are completed less than eight hours. It has more to do with the remaining hours spent to non-work related activities. Others may view it as though a fair advantage for the telecommuter, (although tasks are effectively and efficiently done) but this still hurts both the company and the telecommuter big time.

Ultimately, one major misunderstanding in allowing selected employees to telecommute is to assume that it will help the company lessen operating expenses and motivate employees to increase productivity. This should not be the case. Telecommute should be viewed by companies as a competitive advantage against competitors in the same industry to increase productivity but not awarded to employees who can work onsite or living within the city where the company is physically located at or else it will hurt the company big time. Companies should only employ telecommute to employees who are living away from the city of the actual business location and employees living and working overseas, not for increasing employees' productivity who are working onsite.
