Earning from home...

Earning money even when you're at home has never been easier. With the advances in technology and the increased access to the internet, there are now a lot of ways to earn cash.

There are sites that you can register to that will pay you to read emails from their subscriber clients based on the area of interests you indicate in the registration process.

One of those sites is http://www.emailcashpro.com. Once you register, you will receive around 2-3 emails per week ( depends on your interests ) that will contain links to websites, once the website is opened, your account is credited a certain amount and its done!!

You can also earn thru the referral system. Invite your friends to sign up and you get points for each friends activity.

 

But, beware. There are a lot of bogus sites out there. Especially, those sites that ask you to pay to join them.

How to start working at home....

Part 1
How do you get started working at home? What do you need? How do you get paid?

These are the questions I usually get when friends find out that I work at home. I've worked at home since 2009.

 

Working at home isn't for everyone.

Technical things that you need to work at home.
Decent computer. - what I mean by decent computer is that the PC you use should at least by 2-3 yrs old. Ram should be around 1gig at least. Processor?? None of those Intel Atom stuff. At least a dual core processor.
Headset - should be comfortable. You can try STH series.  Very cost affordable and durable headsets. (since you will most likely be wearing it for a couple of hours.)
Internet connection. - at the very least 512mbps. Preferably, 1 gig.
Back up isp -even if its one of those usb types - at least you can check your emails.
Work area. - you will need at least an area you can work at everyday with minimal interruptions. And as quiet as possible. (No dogs barking, No cocks crowing. No children shouting in the background.)

Skills that you would need to work at home.
Computer skills - familiarity using Microsoft Excel, Word, Powerpoint. Various web-based programs, like skype, ym and crm's.
Phone skills - most work at home jobs are call center based.(outbound/inbound calls)
Patience
Active Listening

Hope this helps those who are thinking about it.

Watch out for part 2.
