Got Skills? Need Money?
I’m often asked what business would be best for a telecommuter to start. Many telecommuters realize after a time of working at home that they’d actually rather be their own boss.
But, most telecommuters fear losing their hourly wage and they don’t know if they can step away from the wage way of making money. The good news for telecommuters is that service based businesses are growing in need.
There are countless small business owners who need the services of service business owners such as copy writers, virtual assistants, transcriptionists, and ghost writers. So, if the current or former telecommuter has skills that they can apply to any one of those businesses they can make the move from employee to boss much easier.
Why is that? Because a service based business almost always charges per hour. And if not per hour then they charge per project. These options are much like how you’re paid working a job at home.
The best news? As a business owner you set your own rates, you decide what people you want to work with, how many hours you’d like to work, or even when you work. A service based business really is the best of both worlds for the telecommuter who’d rather own a business, but wants to keep their hourly income.

What Are You Doing For Fun This Easter, WAHM?
I’ll be the first to say that my computer is like my life support system and without it I have withdrawal symptoms but I also have a family that wants to spend some time with me as well. Really, can a computer give you hugs and kisses like your kids can? I think not. LOL
For this Easter weekend I am GOING to make sure that I don’t turn my computer on and just have some fun with my boys. My sons are excited about the Easter bunny coming and I know he won’t let them down.
Last year that dang ol’ bunny left bunny tracks (made out of baking soda) all over my house and my oldest son thought I was going to yell at him for making such a mess. It was a riot.
So, WAHM, are you going to take some time of this weekend and recharge?
