Have you ever wished you could spend more time with your family? Have you ever wanted to
give up the stress of commuting to your office or worksite every day? Have you ever dreamed
of beginning your workday in your pajamas?

There have always been jobs that people could do at home. In years past, housewives would
care for someone else's child, or take in sewing tasks that they could perform in their own
homes. However, in this age of information, the internet has opened the door to a whole new
realm of opportunities for creating wealth while staying home.

There are several choices a person has when he or she decides to begin making an income at
home. There are corporations that hire people to perform tasks at home. These corporations
"outsource" these tasks because not only does it give people an opportunity to stay at home
while making a living (which keeps employees happier and causes them to work longer term) it
is often more cost efficient for the company. There is little to no 'overhead' for an
employee that is not onsite, although many of these work-at-home employees receive company
benefits.

Some of the most common corporate-sponsored work at home jobs are:

Data Entry

Document Coding

Virtual Assistants

Legal Transcription

Medical Transcription

Customer Service Reps

Freelance Writers

Proofreaders

Editors

Translators

Telemarketers

Online Tutors

Call centers

People who decide to work with a corporation that offers work from home opportunities should
first research the corporation. How long have they been in business? Are they reputable?
Are there others who work for them who will tell you what you can expect? How will you be
paid? Are benefits available?

Another, very popular way of working at home is what is known as Affiliate Marketing.
Affiliates are people who sign up with companies to market their products at their own
expense. The companies, in turn, give a percentage of all sales to the affiliate as
payment. Some companies offer up to 75% of the sale to the affiliate. Some individuals who
do affiliate marketing have made a killing online marketing the products of others. Three
of the internet's top affiliate marketers, all who have become wealthy online, are:

In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Straits Times (print Edition, above) on 29 April
2007, a self taught entrepreneur discuss about how he made his first million on the Internet
and his take home pay is five-figure income on average from Web business. He has made it in
the game of life and lives in a 5-storey 3,000 square feet house with his wife and two sons
and he drives a white BMW 5 series.

It is a fact that people spend money by shopping online. From a report on Shop.org in 2003:

U.S. online retail sales this year will close at $95.7 billion, climbing to $229.9 billion
in 2008. Next year's sales are projected at $122.6 billion, with $149.2 billion, $176.8
billion and $204.3 billion forecast for 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Everyday people, from all walks of life, have learned how to create an income from home. The
idea of working from home can go from a fantasy you have as the drudgery of your workday
overcomes you, to a reality. The choice is completely up to you.
