The Perfect Work-From-Home Job For Laid-Off Workers


Instead of scouring the internet in search of their next job, many workers who have been laid-off are using their online time to scope out work-from-home opportunities. Several factors conspire to make it a perfect storm as to why: ie, high gas prices, skyrocketing food costs and the overall threat of a recession.

Given these factors, telecommuting jobs are appealing on several fronts: (i) they save on gas. After all, you don't have to drive anywhere. (ii) You eat at home, so there are no lunch costs; and (iii) you are more likely to keep the few dollars you do have in your pocket because you're not tempted by shops and boutiques.

So, what is this perfect job for laid-off workers? Freelance writing. And, it's perfect for the following reasons.

No Startup Costs: Even receiving the maximum amount of unemployment is not enough to go splurging on business startup costs. To start a freelance writing career, you need nothing more than a computer and a phone. And, as you probably already have these two things, you're good to go.

You can literally start from the kitchen table, a closet - or even in the middle of your bedroom. You don't need bookshelves, a separate room or any of the other items associated with starting a home business.

Free, Easy Marketing: Freelance writing is the perfect career choice for those who don't like dealing with people. If you're shy and/or not accustomed to selling it is no impediment to starting a freelance writing career. Why?

Because all of your marketing can be done via email. You don't need to dress up, worry about your appearance, spend gas to go to a meeting or learn "sales skills." Most marketing for freelance writing jobs these days is done via email query.

A few lines of text, and you're done. And, as it's email, it's easy on the pocketbook too - as in, FREE!

Unlimited Job Opportunities: Freelance writing is a reputable, growing niche in the work-from-home opportunity sector. Consider the following.

Every day, millions of people log onto the internet. And, the number one thing they're searching for online is information. Who writes most of it? Freelance writers.

From reviews for travel sites to car loan tips for buyers, most successful websites have one thing in common - lots and lots of information. And, most of the time the site owner has hired a freelance writer to provide it.

Freelance writing is the perfect work-from-home job opportunity for laid-off workers, especially those who want to quit the 9-5 world once and for all.

Telecommuting Jobs For Laid Off Workers


Unemployment claims for the week ending September 27, 2008 topped out at 497,000. This is 22,000 more than financial experts were expecting. FYI, anything above 400,000 traditionally indicates the economy is in a recession. And, unemployment claims are continuing to rise.

While this is a snapshot in time, what it means is that any time the economy is in bad shape, job seekers find it hard to land new positions. If you're recently unemployed, you can start the following telecommuting jobs right from the comfort of your home. And, if you have a computer and a phone, you're almost ready to go.

Following are two telecommuting jobs for laid-off workers that can be the start of a brand new career. You can start working from home - and you may never have to look for outside work again.

Freelance Writing: Freelance writing is a career that anyone who can read, write and conduct research can start. And, the wonderful thing about freelance writing is that it can be start for $0 with little or no experience.

Furthermore, it matters little what the economy is doing. In boom times, freelance writers are in great demand. And, when the economy is in a recession and/or downturn, freelance writers are in demand.

Why Freelance Writers are In Demand No Matter What the Economy is Doing

Well, think about it. When the economy is booming, that means that companies are spending money on ads. They need web copy, brochures, press releases, case studies, newsletters, sales material and a goo-gob of other material written. While some companies employ full-time staffs, many rely on freelance writers to get work done.

When the economy is booming, PR agencies, ad agencies, internet marketing firms, magazines, etc., get overwhelmed. They have to outsource to freelance writers to keep up.

When the economy is in trouble, workers get laid off, however, work still has to get done. And, who do companies turn to to get projects out the door? Freelance and/or temporary workers.

If you've ever wanted to work from home and/or find a telecommuting job, freelance writing is the perfect career choice - for it allows you to do it. And, you can get started almost immediately.

Virtual Assistants: A Great Telecommuting Job Opportunity

Virtual assistants have been described as everything from virtual secretaries to web assistants. They handle everything from data entry to scheduling appointments to research and call answering services.

Virtual assistants work for everybody from busy executives, to one-person web entrepreneurs. And, all you need is an internet connection and a phone to get started in this profession.

The wonderful thing about being a virtual assistant is that the web has opened up a wealth of opportunities in this profession. All of your marketing can be done online - for free. And, once clients get accustomed to working with you, they will rarely jump ship because you become an integral part of their "business.

Why the Recession Presents a Great Opportunity for Those Seeking Telecommuting Jobs

As these telecommuting job options show, if you've lost your job, you don't need to fret. You need to get busy building a work-from-home business.

The telecommuting jobs discussed here are just the tip of the iceberg of what's out there. The beauty of these opportunities is that they cost practically nothing to get started - and don't require experience.

Instead of worrying about what the economy is doing, find a career that doesn't depend on it. These telecommuting jobs present two options to start.

Telecommuters and Remote Workers - Pay Attention!


Do you bring your laptop to long team meetings and try to monitor emails during topics that aren't so important to you? If you frequently work from home or you are a remote worker, flown in for the meeting, stop and think about what opportunities you're missing by doing this!

Last week my boss had flown in a handful of my teammates located in other parts of the country/world so the whole team could talk about some large projects face to face. We spent two days closeted together in a conference room going through all our services and discussing how they were impacted by these projects and what we needed to do.

I noticed that my teammates paid detailed attention whenever the conversation was related to one of their services. But as soon as we started talking about a service unrelated to their own, their heads would go down as their eyes fixed on their laptop screens and their fingers clacked away furiously on their keyboards.

Who can blame them? Our day-to-day jobs don't go away when we're in these kinds of meetings. The emails and action items don't stop. While we may all have out-of-office messages saying we're tied up these two days and responses will be slow, we don't want to spend our evenings or the following work day trying to dig our way out of our overflowing inboxes.

However, there's an opportunity cost to this. Sure, those folks who are located with the core team and who come into the office every day may be well plugged-in to what all their teammates are doing. But for the people visiting from out of town, and for the telecommuters, this is a perfect opportunity to get some more detailed exposure to what else is going on in their team and learn more about some of the activities, challenges, etc of their peers.

This kind of exposure, while seeming unimportant in the short term, can be valuable down the road. You get the opportunity to learn from your peers - for instance, if there are issues they are dealing with that you struggle with too, you can contact them later to compare notes. And it increases the opportunity for cross-collaboration and integration of projects down the line if you have a better big picture of everything that's going on in your team.

Sure, the cost may be an over-full inbox the next day. But that's no different from when you're away on vacation and the workload is piling up. (At least I hope you let the work pile up when you're on vacation and you're not sneaking into your hotel room to check emails while your spouse is lying on the beach.)

So telecommuters and remote workers, next time you're face-to-face with your team and tempted to sneak in some time working on your email, consider the opportunity you're missing. Grab an extra cup of coffee and pay attention to what your peers have to say!

Stress Can Kill You - Job Satisfaction Tips For Telecommuting Workers


Being a telecommuting employee can have both its advantages and disadvantages. While the job satisfaction most remote employees feel relates to the benefit of added time spent with families, there are other aspects of being a virtual employee that can be addressed to help increase and maintain a telecommuter's overall job satisfaction.

Tip #1 - Go out and socialize. There is no need to be a hermit when working from home. A job is a job. It is part of your life and as such you, the employee, need to go out and live it. Being chained to your computer all day is not good for both your physical as well as your emotional health. If a workaholic, bring the job with you and socialize with professional business organizations.

Tip #2 - Give back to the community. If you have ever received help or mentoring in your career, don't you think it is time to give back? Become a volunteer with Junior Achievement and put your business skills to good use mentoring the next generation of business professionals. A good way to justify volunteering is to donate an hour a week from the ten-plus hours now saved telecommuting.

Tip #3 - Stop and smell the roses. It is tempting to forget about break time; especially when there is no one supervising your work but you. Taking a breather and going outside to stop and enjoy the day may leave you feeling more satisfied than you think. Time passes quickly and before you know it seasons change. Part of job satisfaction is creating a work/life balance. By taking time to appreciate the little things in life, you are able to clear your mind and return to your job feeling refreshed.

Tip #4 - Take care of yourself. Being tired and rundown will not help your job performance. Be sure to eat healthy, embark on an exercise routine and maintain a good night's sleep every night. While tempted to get up in the middle of the night to work on an idea, keep a pad and pen near your bed to jot down any ideas that come to mind. During your downtime, your job can wait. Sleep well so you can be alert and rested to perform your job the next day.

Even telecommuting jobs can be stressful. Taking the time out for you is important. It not only helps you avoid the stress, but it helps you perform better. After all, why telecommute if you can't keep your job?
