There are many jobs you can do at home to supplement your income. You can write articles for newspapers, put together scrapbooks or photo for tables. Do the things that come easy to you and that you enjoy. Here are a few suggestions:
Writing
This takes skill and newspapers do not pay very well, so don’t expect to make a lot of money off of this type of work. Many newspapers need articles about upcoming events and activities in the area that they serve, as well as activities in the surrounding areas. If you are interested in doing
this work, contact the editor at the paper and inquire.
Sewing
This is another area that requires a skill many people do not have. Sewing machines come with many accessories and can stitch, monogram, create logos, and make practically anything you can imagine. You can create made-to-order items or make items on speculation.
Child Care
Every state has different childcare requirements so you will have to check into these rules.
Computer Jobs
If you have computer skills you might be able to type reports, design web pages, or provide a wide spectrum of other computer services.
Customer Service Jobs
Home based customer-service jobs are growing in popularity. Large companies are looking at the untapped work-at-home market rather than outsourcing jobs to overseas. Many of these jobs allow flexibility, and you can often set your own hours, however, these also have downsides. The pay is limited and you are usually paid only for the time you are on the phone. The less time you work, the less you make. Most of the jobs don’t come with benefits. In most cases you must also have a computer, phone line, and high speed internet access.
