Anyone work from home? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have an online job. I work for a home builder here and I am the Online Sales Consultant. I manage about 15 communities in the East Coast of Florida and basically schedule appointments for people to come and visit our showcase/model centers. I do a lot of relocating for people and helping them find a community that is best suited for them. I do have an office at the corporate office but with my line of work a lot of times I work from my home office since I have a company lap top and cell phone and it requires me to take calls after hours and weekends.

It is nice in the aspect that I can work from home but it is sales and the market is TOUGH right now so that side stinks for now. However I still do pretty well.

I get to see Murphy and Mia too when working at home but I have to shut my office when I am on the phone because every now and than they may bark and that is just a NO NO while I am on the phone with customers - LOL!

Good luck with your search!

Love WifeSwap and Trading Spouses!!!

I believe w/ most of those, you need to take classes...I know a friend tried to get me to take some night classes w/ her (our local college held night classes for 3 months) for medical transcriptionists and a few other things...but it was like $2500 and you weren't guaranteed to find work...but I don't know how hard it would be...I think they put your name on a list or something?? -- I don't know because I didn't check into it.

How does that work anyway? Do you have to constantly be at home? Even if you pick your work hours...do you have to stay by the phone/computer?

I don't know if that would work for me...because things come up or we may have company or may want to go/do something spur of the moment...does anyone know??

Here are some websites for some I have worked for. Basically you answer incoming calls from people wanting to order this or that. Just depends on what company you work for. You will need a dedicated phone line, computer and headset for most and no BACKGROUND noise.

West - http://apply.westathome.com/

LiveOps - http://www.liveops.com/

Right now I am with one company that requires you to incorporate.

Sorry I can't list the names of the actual companies cause of confidentiality forms I signed.

If you are a teacher, you can work for Sylvan Learning Center's online tutoring service. My daughter did this for awhile.

I have made $30 online...LOL I love doing surveys, so do them, have gotten my 2nd $10 check, and the 3rd is on its way..doesn't pay for much, but does take care of my eyebrow waxing..

Jenn218 · 02-28-2008, 10:08 PM

I seriously didn't know people actually got paid for those surveys...how do you find the surveys and do they cause a lot of JUNK on your computer and email??
