Want to Work At Home? Perhaps Self-Employment Or Telecommuting Will Make It

The typical dream image of the person working at home almost always involves pink fuzzy slippers, an oversized coffee mug, and a relaxed atmosphere. Yet not all that glitters is gold, and there are some very serious pitfalls that have to be avoided in order to make working at home a profitable reality for anyone who is willing to give it a try. To this end, there are usually two avenues available to anyone ready to give it a go: self employment and telecommuting. While both of these options will allow you to stay at home in pursuit of profit, they each have their pitfalls, and before you decide to embark on either one of them, make sure that you weight the pros and cons!
For example, while so many late night commercials are filled with smiling mothers who are seeing their little ones off to school only to return home at a leisurely pace to sell a product for an international company. Quite often this product is a nutritional supplement for weight loss, beauty, or overall health. What the commercials fail to mention is the fact that some of these supplements are dangerous to people with certain ailments, and the fear of not making a sale will quite often put blinders on anyone trying to make a living while earning only straight commissions. If you are a self-employed representative for such a supplement company, the odds are good that in case of a problem a customer will come looking to you as well as the company for compensation. Unless you have taken proper legal steps to protect your home and assets, you may end up losing everything you have worked so hard to achieve!
While this may make you now consider telecommuting, keep in mind that this field has its pitfalls as well. For example, while your boss in the office will appreciate your hard work and dedication when she or he sees you burning the midnight oil to get a project finished, she or he will most likely not have a lot of appreciation for you when you do the same thing at home. Conversely, if you do manage to achieve the almost impossible deadlines while telecommuting, the odds are good that you will be facing tighter and tighter deadlines. Since you are most likely not an hourly employee, this means that you may end up working 20 hours in one day, and still only get paid what you normally would. As you can see, it does not add up to profit.
To this end, sit down and find out exactly what it will take to make your work at home dream a profitable reality. Do not too quickly lunge at an opportunity that at second glance is little more than an anchor weighing you down.
