Start working home jobs
You've had enough of rushing to an office and want to get paid to do your work job from home. Whether you want to freelance or get hired to telecommute from home, use these 5 tips to make sure you are the one employers want to pay to work from home.
1. Act Now. Jobs get posted, jobs get filled. Working home jobs requires snatching up the good jobs. If you want to get some of those jobs and build momentum on your new passion to work from home, you have to act now. Even if an employer has a month time frame to find someone, you want to be their top prospect as an employee or a freelancer.
2. Read. Advertisements are full of specifications for what the employer wants. If you read the specifications and answer each one in your reply, you will beat out 80% of the competition. If I had a pair of shoes for every time I posted on Guru to hire a freelancer and they responded with a generic pitch, I'd outclass Paris Hilton. Its annoying and no one likes to waste time--especially you. Find out what they want and speak specifically to your new employers needs.

3. Sell Yourself. There is no way I can put into words how important this is to you getting hired to do your work job from home. You have to stand out, and that means selling yourself. If you have a weak spot in your application, lose it. Finding the right job can be tricky, so when you see it, play up your strengths. If you know you can do the job, tell your potential employer why you would be so perfect at doing their job for them. They aren't mind readers you know.
If you must, pretend you are telling a little kid why you get paid to work everyweek. If you can't come up with one or two sentences for why you are a shoo-in for the job, then don't go for it, no matter how bad you want to. Working your day job from home only works if you can do the job.
4. Write Well. You probably won't get the chance to talk to the person hiring you when you submit your application, so you need to write like you had one last message to leave posterity. That's a little dramatic, but if its not helping your application it's probably hurting it. If there is a little error or you don't speak to your employers needs, you won't get the job. Make sure you push their hot buttons and talk about how you will ultimately make their lives simpler and more profitable.
5. Give Proof. Whatever job you are applying for (blogging, design work, customer service, data entry, etc.), no one is going to hire you blind. If you don't have any samples of your work, make some. Do some free work in exchange for references and samples. Rarely will a company turn you down. If you don't have an online presence, you can create a free and simple website with WordPress or Blogger as an online business card to link to your work samples. You can also sign up with LinkdIn, Facebook, and other social networking sites to link to your work.
