Work part time from home and you can earn extra money whilst having more free time to spend with your friends and family. Turn on any Internet connection and you will find advertisements for hundreds of at home jobs where you can do anything from data entry to typing articles to completing online surveys. The great thing about choosing to freelance rather than occupy a permanent position is that your office is anywhere, and it need not only be your home. You can work whilst having your favourite hot chocolate, or simply snuggle up in bed and get going.
There are both positive and negative elements when you work part time from home and both should be weighed up when you make your choice. To be positive, lets start with the positives of freelance jobs. Firstly your time is incredibly flexible. You can work at the best time of day for yourself which means you can have your mornings or afternoons free, or whichever suits you best. If you have any computer skills then things like data entry, online surveys and typing articles can allow you to earn extra money without too much hard work. Finally it allows you to pursue your other interests which full time jobs do not allow you to do.
The negative elements of trying to earn extra money from home are also important to consider. Firstly you may get very lonely. Although your office co-workers may irritate you, they also provide a bouncing board for your stress and personality to interact with. If you are alone all day you may tend to dwell on a problem longer than you should because there is nothing else to distract you. Secondly, some part time jobs are not very stimulating. Data entry is extremely easy to do, but it is not very stimulating. Lastly, if you are working part time your income may be reduced from your regular job. So think about these things and then decide if you would like to work part time from home.
