Does Anyone Work From Home?

I've been looking for a part time job that I can do from home. I know I don't want to sell anything like Pampered Chef or Mary Kay. There are so many listings for things that sound unbelievable and cost money to find out about like stuffing envelopes or data entry and making thousands per week. I'm not falling for any of that, but I really haven't seen anything that looks legit.

Does anyone work from home? Are there any good websites with job listings?

Tutoring can be profitable depending on where you live and can be done in your home or students homes. I've tutored children and housewives in English and given American cooking lessons. It can take a while to build a reputation and collect clients, but it's very rewarding. Many adult students I've encountered just want someone who has the time to listen or are too embarrassed to take a class. Many moms have paid me to do what I would with my own child, help with homework, practice reading, teach study skills, but they can't because of their limited English.

I used to be a medical transcriptionist. It's a completely legitimate career. It does take some time to learn; I studied in my spare time for about two years. But after that I was able to make a living doing it. I did it full-time for about 3-4 years.

It's also nice to know if I ever want to or need to go back to work, I can get a job pretty easily.

If you go to Open Original Shared Link you can get more information.

Some companies have a program to allow employees to work virtual (work from home) if the job can be done virtual. The company I work for has this program. Please note one of the rules is that children have another care giver during work hours. Also, it seems to be the practice that working virtual is only allowed for employees who have worked for the company on site.

My job allows us to do somethings from home, but it is limited. I know Medical Coders can do the job from home.

I hope you find something, I would love to work from home everyday, but I would also be scared that I would actually miss being out or that I would have trouble focusing and keeping myself on a schedule.

I think I would also miss the interaction of others, Somedays I would love to have our office all to myself because those people can drive me nuts...but I think after awhile I might miss them....maybe...

I've been self-employed for quite a while, and the Internet has given me additional business opportunities. I don't mean those 'get-rich-quick' things either. Rather utilizing what might otherwise be a mere hobby to earn a living (or at least try to). I can't say it's easy to make happen, but to me it is far more rewarding than being stuck in some cubical.

For me it would turn out to be a niche market of sorts, and it happened somewhat unintentionally. So from my experience I'd have to think it's more likely to succeed if you have something unique to offer. I'm sure we all get those spam messages for whatever the current 'hot items' happen to be, and I can't imagine how that could be profitable.

Besides the Internet, it can indeed pay off. Not just in terms of income, but there's a sense of freedom and accomplishment that I'd never trade for slaving away to make someone else rich. Though I know I'm in the minority in many ways, as people seem to prefer a steady paycheck and whatnot. It can be bitter-sweet though, as it will generally consume your every waking moment. Everyone I know whom has taken s similar route has also had this happen. There's little else in your daily life. If you have walk-in customers, they are basically your employers. Make them happy or you lose money. Income may not be so great either, but for whatever reason I haven't given up on it just to have more money. I guess I really hate working for someone else.

I know there are freelance opportunities being offered at various websites, but I've never tried to get into that. As for working at home for a company in some virtual or remote capacity, I do know there are companies which do that. One term which comes to mind is telecommute.

That's about all I can add to this topic, and I'm sure others will continue to share their own experiences, which might help you more depending on what you are looking for.

Hope you find what you seek.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
