Home Employment - Fact Or Myth?
It’s not that I’m against working outside of the home, I mean it’s tiring going to one job why would I want two (2) jobs outside the home? I wish I could find \”Legitimate home employment’ situation. I read an article someplace that stated that no one can get rich working one menial job. All of these self help gurus make me want to hurl!!! They never ever provide the actual places they go to find home employment opportunities because they are full of it they don’t actually know of any.
We all know someone who has a friend of a friend who has worked from their home. I know first hand people who’ve sold Jewelry and done parties, sold cosmetics or lingere. Of course that has been a staple of stay at home moms for years selling makeup, or other items from purchasing a small part of a larger franchise. But you can only sell but soo much from home. At some point you would have to leave the home to find customers. Once you leave the home it is no longer \”legitimate home employment\”. it becomes a day job.
I once purchased software to do medical billing from home; however, the start up was just too much for me. I would have to find my own clients and this also meant leaving the house to cold call doctor’s offices. Too much up front time would have to be expended in order to get a business of this nature off the gound.
If I could do my current job from home, I would work very hard and be honest about the amount of time I put in. Just the gas savings and drive time to and from work would give me an advantage!
I am currently working as a 1099 employee outside the home and the self-employment tax is killing me. It is better for the individual I work for to pay me this way so he does not have to pay the taxes; however, I must pay a 15% tax on all money earned after expenses are deducted.
I suppose there is a way to file paperwork to set up my own business that would allow me to write off more expenses; however, I do not have the money to go about doing this in the proper fashion. Isn’t that what they call a \”Catch 22\”?
I would love to come up with some type of intellectual property that I could copywright; however, I don’t believe anything is new anymore, it has all been done before. Even if I did come up with an idea, who has the money to copywright it, have a prototype made and have it produced? I imagine that is why people need financial backing. If I had that I wouldn’t need a second job!
If anyone out there has truly learned a way to make money from home, I beg of you, please call me! As usual, there are still bills to pay, braces to pay for, groceries to purchase and vacations I would love to dream about and someday have the time and money to take!
