Learn to earn from home. But don’t know where to start? Well, look right at home worker forum. Mar has explained pretty neat methods of working from home and making a living. Mar herself is a living example of one and i can vouch for her. I'm making more (than my official job) myself following her advice.
I'd made a start by making petty $30/month (for first two months) working through home and then scaled up to $150/month for next four months. How did I do it? I put in efforts to "learn". If you think working from home for an hour can get you over $50K a month then am sorry, this is not the place for you. No one can do that. Anyone who claims to do so can not be trusted. It takes time and efforts to learn things and then earn. At time; I felt like quitting because I was able to make more from my 9 to 6 job. But, learn not to "quit" too soon.
I've had my share of luck/bad luck while trying to earn from home. From my experience, I can say that follow what your natural instincts say. You only need to identify what your good at. Once you can identify the "niche" then its time to scale to make a living out of it. Like i and Mar did. And hundreds others do it too.
An ideal way of learning is by finding out what people want for which they are ready to pay someone because it’s either time consuming but essential for them. I'd always seen that people in my city had to go too far to get good vegetables/grocery items. They had to go out of office hours to get hygienic stuff. However, as it was late they would either take a leave or buy a week's worth stuff at the same time. The Grocery/Vegetable market had home delivery service only till one point but beyond that was where we lived. I arranged to deliver from that pickup point to everyone's home in our city at an extra cost. As for me I had an office at that pickup point and had to come home anyways; I'd bring these parcels with me and earn those "extra" bucks I was looking for. Very soon when the demand increased; I engaged a few more people and the rest is history.
Moral: Money does not come easy. You need to "learn" to find out how to earn it. Look around yourself who is in need and is willing to spend for it. Reach out to him with a proposal and am sure you will be independent soon. As these kinds of works do not require you to setup an office; you work right out of your home through email/computer. I did not stop there; I learnt more ways where people needed work to be done for which they are willing to pay and I’ve started many such assignments since then (most of which are online based or needs internet) and am working right from my home.
