Are you disciplined enough?
Review of Working from Home by bluetedgirl

Advantages: No travel, relaxed atmosphere, less stress, more control
Disadvantages: Isolation, no employer pension contributions, no sick or holiday pay

I have been working at home part time for the last 2 years, full time for the last 3 months. I gave up my full time job at the end of May and opted for working from home, my stress levels at work were through the roof, commuting was a pain (even when I walked to work I got tired of it in the freezing winter) and I just felt unappreciated and underpaid. To get the money I wanted I would have had to work in the city, or private clinic and they wanted ... Read review

No Christmas Party Shenanigans
Review of Working from Home by Morgenhund

Advantages: no commuting, convenience, you can set your own hours
Disadvantages: lack of contact with others, no jollies

Working from Morgenhund Towers in the centre of Vienna has proved to be a very interesting experience, and although I have earned my keep for the last six months purely by sitting at my desk and translating, writing articles for magazines, evaluating software and sorting out sponsorship deals for various causes, I still long for an office job. Let’s face it, whilst I don’t have hellish times commuting across a large city at rush-hour ... Read review

YOU NEED NEVER MISS THIS MORNING AGAIN
Review of Working from Home by LostWitness

Advantages: Freedom, money-saving
Disadvantages: None for me

...many ways and means of working from home, but my opinion is not really about the various money-making schemes pedalled by unscrupulous sales people that you see advertised in the newspaper. Sorry to be so harsh, but surely everyone realises that these “get rich quick” schemes are a complete waste of time. My experiences of working from home refer to my current circumstances, whereby I have been fortunate enough to secure a management ... Read review

My new career
Review of Working from Home by SusanLesley

Advantages: Freedom to work as and when I feel able
Disadvantages: Loss of interaction with office colleagues

...I have been used to working in an office for 30 years and suddenly there I was on my own all day at home. I don’t have a problem with being alone and rarely get bored but I did begin to miss the interaction with other people. I have now found this at Ciao and Dooyoo together with a bit of extra cash. I have so far earned £150 in cash and £50 worth of High Street vouchers from Dooyoo and £186 from Ciao. I also do other work on the Internet. ... Read review

Do your homework before you work at home
Review of Working from Home by Cazz

Advantages: flexible, family friendly and on the increase
Disadvantages: need to think it all through carefully first

...at the actual situation of working from your home, as opposed to some other place. I started working from home nearly a year ago, after the birth of my daughter made me rethink my priorities. Not working wasn’t an option, and if I had returned to my then employer I would have had to put a 6 month old in a creche for about 9 hours a day, a prospect that I found unthinkable. I felt that I was incredibly lucky to find a job that enabled me to ... Read review

How To Make Money Working From Home On The Net
Review of Working from Home by Mischief

Advantages: The traditional workplace is shrinking fast!
Disadvantages: You have to place large bets to make good profits

Sports Arbitrage Hi. The internet. It’s transformed our lives, right? Whereas we all used to troll off semi-comatose to squash ourselves onto the tube, train or bus, commuting to what seemed like a life sentence of tedious office routine, now we can all make money from home using the internet. It’s a revolution. We can be home to pick up after our kids, to wipe their noses and switch on Tracey Beaker – office politics, crushes and Christmas parties ... Read review

All work and no pay...
Review of Working from Home by pmdunn

Advantages: Flexible Hours, Comfortable Working Environment
Disadvantages: Needs a lot of self discipline

...at the end of the working day. I have seen too many dismally disappointing weekends to want to miss out on the good times mid-week. But how in this day and age is such a lifestyle achievable? There is of course no easy answer (unless you still follow the lifestyle of the hippies of the sixties) - in this life it seems we only get out of it what we are prepared to put in. Some years ago I spent a lot of time researching ways of earning money ... Read review

I was conned!
Review of Working from Home by marybee

Advantages: Always good to work from home
Disadvantages: Beware of internet scams

...were selling the idea of working from home, making money stuffing envelopes and sending them out, and they will pay you for every mail that you sent out. But first, you'll have to pay for a one time admin fee of $34.95 where they'll send you all the necessary things to get started. I fell for it because it sounded reliable and that they offered a refund if i'm not satisfied with the results or if i'm not making money at all. I went ahead and paid ... Read review

Advantages: None experienced yet
Disadvantages: Only conmen win on this one

...that do offer honest home working opportunities. I am yet to find one and I think it best to save my money as I can't see myself getting rich any day yet. The only money I have made so far is from Ciao, so it's not all bad. But steer clear from the get rich quick scams. They don't work. ... Read review

So thats what I did, I sent one company the money they were asking for, I received a letter confirming receipt of the money and that I would here from them in the very near furure. But did I?

Kleeneze Business Opportunity
Review of Working from Home by stevenstel

Advantages: immediate income, simple to follow, free training nationwide, 80 yr old UK Company

STOP FIDDLING WITH MY BITS
Review of Working from Home by barrytoplis

Advantages: Great get up when you like
Disadvantages: Nobody to talk to.

...she does more work while working from home than she ever would in an office because once you leave the office you leave your work behind but when the computer is just there and you have stuff that needs doing you feel that you should. The amount of nights that we have sat there with piles of papers organizing and sorting into info and delegate packs is rather scary still good excuse to open a few bottles of wine I suppose.

Review of Working from Home by davejug1

Advantages: Work when and where I want
Disadvantages: There are few, maybe motivation. Oh and porn

...to do once they start working from home with no real interaction) I go for a stroll to the shops for my morning paper. At about 9AM I start work (which I will go into shortly) and usually finish at about 11AM for lunch. After lunch I go out and enjoy the afternoon sun (though we don't get a lot in Manchester) maybe go shopping or sit in a pub garden. I will usually return home about 6PM and start work again, working right through until 11ish. I can ... Read review
