The internet has spawned a new category in part time job searches. The work from home category has taken the workforce by storm.There are plenty of ways to work from home and make a nice income without losing the security of your 9-5 job (unless you are like me and love the freedom and excitement of working from home). There are many work at home jobs that are legitimate that one should consider when looking for a part time income from home. The following are just a handful of work from home jobs that can bring in some extra income data entry; document coding; virtual assistants; legal transcription, customer service reps, freelance writers, proofreaders, editors, translators, telemarketers and online tutors. There are plenty of places to find these work from home jobs. Here is a list of places to begin your search; Craiglist.org, monster.com, elance.com (best site for work at home freelancers) and most job search engines will have work from home (telecommuting) categories.Working from home has its ups and downs. The hardest thing that I have found is keeping diligent to your schedule. Treat it like a real job, work the hours that you have set and don’t let your self get distracted. The other thing you have to keep track of is your taxes. You need to have a W-9 filled out for every company that you do work for that you will make more than $600 from. Remember this, you can write off all expenses related to your home based business. Write off you internet access, your printer cartridges and printing paper. If you have to drive to a clients business you should track the mileage and if you take a lunch break you will need to get a receipt. One of the major pluses from working at home is the fact that you get what you put in. The harder you work the more money you make. Your income is solely based on the effort you put in. Not like working for someone else where you work your butt of and the company goes bankrupt and you are out a job.My recommendation is to keep your day job and work at home part time until you day job is supplementing your work at home business. If you need more information about work at home jobs please go to Google and type in “work from home”. There are thousands of websites that are catered to working from home.Good luck and keep at it
