How To Start Working From Home

I've listed down the benefits of working from home in my previous post. Now, what are the things that you need to be able to start accepting home-based jobs?

Reliable Technology

First thing’s first, do you have a home PC or laptop and an internet connection? If you don’t, you better invest on these. It is not advisable just to rent in a computer shop if you want to work from home. Your computer doesn’t necessarily have to be top of the line. “Reliable” is the keyword. Aside from yourself, this is one of your resources so it has to be really dependable. As for the internet connection, it is better to research what works best in your area. It won’t hurt to ask around.

Work station/ Home Office

It is advisable to set up a work station or a home office that will be dedicated for your work. This will help you delineate work and home tasks and help you become more efficient. When you work at home, you’re usually tempted to bounce from work and home chores, which just hampers your productivity.
