When you think about making money from home, one of the first things you need to decide is how much you want to make and how much time you have to give it. There’s a big difference between looking a full-time at-home job, running your own business on your own schedule, and doing one-off tasks that pay a little bit here and there. Let’s take a look at some of the things you can do at each of these levels of “commitment.”

Great Stay-at-Home Moms Jobs

Many of the at-home jobs you hear about are very job-like in nature. When contracting with one of the big companies hiring remote workers, you'll often have a set schedule or at least be required to work a certain number of hours per week with a schedule you create. The benefits of contracting with one of these work-at-home jobs is that there is often no investment or marketing involved as there would be when starting your own business.

So many companies hire remote workers today, including big names you likely know; American Express, Apple, Enterprise and more. A few industries to consider when looking for a work-at-home j-o-b.

1. Telecommute for Your Current Employer

This is the easiest option – if you can make it happen. More and more employers are giving their workers the freedom to do their jobs from home, so ask your boss about this possibility.

Even if you cannot convince your boss to let you telecommute full-time, you may be able to work from home several days a week. That part-time telecommuting can cut your commuting expenses in half and give you additional freedom and flexibility, all without giving up your full-time paycheck.
