2008Is it really possible to make $8-$30 an hour from home? The answer is yes.
The work from home workforce in the United States is small but growing fast. While many companies are downsizing, cutting jobs, or declaring hiring freezes, there are some progressive companies that are cutting costs by adopting telecommuting business models.
Telecommuting explained:
Teleworking is when an employee or self-employed person, does work from their house on a computer and/or telephone system that is linked to the primary network of the company/employer.
Statistics show telecommuters are more productive, healthy, happy, and enjoy a higher quality of life. Companies that hire telecommuters sustain lower turnovers, better efficiency, higher productivity, higher profits, and improved customer satisfaction. Furthermore, telecommuting is the green thing to do environmentally friendly, as it cuts down on highway over-crowding, fuel usage, and vehicular air pollution.

How to get a job as work from home agent/telecommuter?
Almost all work from home jobs have professional prerequisites in addition to equipment requirements. Prospective teleworkers should be disciplined self-starters with impeccable communication skills and the ability to work without supervision. Before applying for a work from home job, do an honest self assessment to determine if working from home is really for you. Can you resist the urge to watch television or go back to sleep? Will you goof off on Facebook or get your work done? Do you own a computer that was made in the last 5 years? Is your internet connection fast or are you still on dial up? Do you have a telephone line can be used for business purposes? Can you alleviate or control background noise? If you meet these basic requirements, you will find a job working from home!
