What to Consider First"},"content":{"rendered":"
I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that for most people getting started with an online business or working from home is overwhelming. I can totally relate.<\/p>\n
Just like with anything else working from home or starting an online business has its own set of pros and cons.<\/p>\n
While I am completely grateful that I can earn money in the way that I do I believe that working from home often gets a bit over glamourized and misunderstood.<\/p>\n
If you want to work from home here\u2019s what to consider first.<\/p>\n
Potentially Earn More Money<\/strong> \u2013 The keyword here being potentially<\/em>. Whether you\u2019re going to make more money depends upon what kind of work you want to get into and how much you were previously earning.<\/p>\n I was only earning a few dollars per hour over minimum wage so working from home seemed like a very realistic solution for me to earn more money. I wasn\u2019t risking much. I knew that if things didn\u2019t work out that I could go back to my old job.<\/p>\n It takes time to find your sweet spot. If you\u2019re currently a high income earner you might be a bit let down if you up and quit your job and expect to be earning the same amount right off the bat.<\/p>\n (That\u2019s not to say you\u2019ll ever earn more but that it\u2019s unrealistic to expect to walk right into it.)<\/p>\n Potentially Earn Passive Income<\/strong> \u2013 Working from home is NOT passive income. However, if you set up an online business you can certainly (eventually) build up passive income streams.<\/p>\n For example, I earn money from ads from my own blog for work that I\u2019ve previously done. I don\u2019t have to be online to earn money since my blog is always online. It wasn\u2019t easy though. It took tons of writing and a couple years, but now pays off.<\/p>\n
