No Front Camera.

Slight lag in taking pictures.

Battery life is a little over a day - with moderate use for bluetooth ( since I use a headset), wifi and data plan.

On the plus side - skype video calling works - able to see video for both parties. (drawback - its either you are seen in the video or you see the one you are talking to, why? camera is at the back of the phone. lol)

Is working at home for you?

A lot of people ask me why i chose to work at home. How did i find a job like that? How do i work?Get paid?

For those of you out there that is thinking of working at home, let me discuss to you the advantages and disadvantages of working at home. Working at home may not be for everyone.

Here are some points for the advantages of working at home that others i have talked to along with myself have realized.

1. No Commute. As we know or have experienced. If you work at the typical office, you need to actually be in the office. Or in some cases as in sales, you need to be in the field. Working at home frees up at least 3 hours a day. That's the average time it takes for a person to dress up and travel to and from the office. That's three hours you can devote to other things like, sleeping, spending time with your family. FACEBOOK, household chores, or if your lucky a part time job.

2. No extra Expenses.( in some things.) You get to save cash.hard earned cash that you worked for.Why? no commute means you don't pay for fare. No expenses on keeping you office wardrobe updated. No eating out.

3. Less Stress. (some points are more applicable to women)

- choosing what to wear for the day

-traffic

-seeing your co workers

-seeing your boss

-being late and fined

4. Eating home cooked food. being able to eat what you want, when you want without being charged an arm and a leg to get it. And hopefully eating healthy foods.

5. Almost safe from external factors. (except of course for natural calamities)

- no worries on being kidnapped

-raped

-robbed

-car breaking down

-no color coding.

6. Spending quality family time with your Family and friends.

Anything else??? Feel free to add your opinions.

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.
