So you wake up every day, shower, hurriedly take breakfast, kiss your family good bye and speed off to work. You want to be seated at your desk before the first customer comes in, and you wouldn’t want your boss to see you late. Before you get to work, you waste a lot of time wading through traffic jams, which of course have become a part of your work life. After a hard day at work, you drive home again, tired, late and with little or no time left to sit down and talk to your family. This is the life of the modern white collar worker!
If the description above matches your current life, you need to broaden the horizons and find a better way of making income. And when we consider the various options available to you, nothing comes in easy than to try and make money from home using the internet. With just a connected computer, some computer skills and a couple of hours’ worth of free time daily, you can make a substantial amount of money from home.
How exactly?
Customer Service Representative
In an attempt to reduce costs, most large businesses today and corporations are outsourcing their customer service operations to third party providers. Companies such as J. Crew, Express Jet and IRS, among many others, will have external third party teams taking care of their customer service department.
If you are good and professional on the phone, or can make a good customer service representative, you’ve gotten a new way to make money from home. By just answering calls and servicing customers’ needs from the comfort of your living room, you can make a substantial amount of income. There are many firms out there who are looking for customer reps to work on their behalf. To start with, LIveOps.com, Arise.com, WestatHome.com, WorkingSolutions.com and RepsforRent.com are just a few of these companies. And while the average rate per hour is just 9 dollars, you may earn up to 20 dollars per hour with incentives and bonuses.
Telemarketing
This is the right job and a good way for you to make money from home especially if you have a pleasant voice and personality. You also need to have ‘thick skin’ since it is obvious you will experience some hostility. In telemarketing, you make telephone calls to market some goods and services, typically unsolicited, to potential consumers.
With many large companies today outsourcing their cold calling campaigns to third parties, you can get hired by a telemarketing company to work from home. While you will mostly be paid a fixed hourly rate with your telemarketing job, there are many incentives and bonuses that will likely boost your income. Some good websites where you can get started looking for telemarketing jobs include West.com, Telereach.com and Intrep.com
