Work at home ideas

[lady_neon]

Ladies, please hit me with jobs I can do from home! I need to earn $200-$300 a week so I can fund a course I want to enrol in. I don't want to run a business, just be paid from an employer.

Thanks

Typing, bookkeeping or data entry are the big ones I can think of. Do you have any qualifications?

[lady_neon]

I have no qualifications but have worked as a bookkeeper and office manager. I'm not looking to study in that field though!

LizLemon - how would you go about finding people to employ you from home doing typing/data entry?

To be honest I haven't got that far to looking as it's not something I'm looking at doing, but I know people who do it/have done it. Maybe looking in the paper or on seek or even some of the small recruitment agencies.

Well then bookkeeping might be the go - you may be able to go and pick up stuff and do it at home.

I also knew aa lady who did typing at home (she lived in Mandurah) for the law courts. I'm not sure how you get into doing it but I always thought that would be a good gig.

Bookkeeping is no longer straight forward. You need insurances and if you want to process BAS statements, you either need to be registered with the ATO or working under a registered tax agent. Which in turn means you need qualifications of some kind Certificate from Tafe (like a Cert IV) or Degree in Accounting.

I know, it's changed a heap. I am a CA so I can bookkeep/tax etc but for LadyNeon I meant seeing if she could work for a bookkeeping business. Some accounting firms even hire bookkeepers.

Only if you are contracting. If you are employed as a permanent (which I was) its ok. The company had an accountant who would check over all he monthlies before giving the a-ok to process everything. If that makes sense.

Call centres. Yes, you can get set up to work from home. You have to be dedicated to the work, I.e. you can't nip off to look after the baby. It would have to be when DH was home or you would need to put the bub in care.
If you phone Origin Energy, you will find a number of their call centre staff are in their own homes. I chatted to one of them once.

Really? That's pretty cool. Great idea, especially if you could get a shift in evening/night.

I've also always wondered about phone sex. Picturing myself doing the ironing while chatting to some horny fella at the other end of the phone. Don't think I have a husky enough voice tho.

When it comes to well paid jobs you can do from home (without having been employed by the company beforehand), I always think they are few and far between otherwise most SaHPs would be doing it iykwim.

Good luck!

Yes iinet do it too - you have to do a while (a couple of months I think is with iinet) in the office first though - and the shift patterns weren't that great to always have someone else at home in my opinion - but they are recruiting at the moment in Melbourne anyway.
