I never thought about working from home before. The last few years i only thought that it was something remotely possible. Now with the launch of my new website, I think that next year this time it just might be possible for me. What would be your dream work from home job??

Yes working from home would be a dream job for me, because I need something that will fit in with my children. I don't know what I would do though, but if I did I would certainly be working hard with whatever I choose to make sure I can provide for my children.

Rosie you are so right! I wanted to create a stable future for my children. That's why i start my own business. So that i can do that. so this time next year, i can be home taking care of them. I tell you, it's a dream come true!

I agree. If I was a mother, I'd want to work from home too, because I'd want to give my children the best when growing up. I'd want to be there for them, but also make money and support the family at the same time. Good luck!

Yeah, sure, I think it is a great thing, even though I am not sure it is my dream job exactly, going to an office, if it is a nice one, does have some perks too. But it is very convenient, especially if you have kids, so I think I would really want to do that when that happens for me. My dream job from home would probably to have an online store of some sort, or to do some kind of design, since I don't think I use my business or artistic side enough. Good luck with your new website by the way! I hope your dream comes true! May I ask what it is about?

You can go to my profile page and check out my new website. I think working in an office does have it perks. But there is nothing like being your own boss and being there for your family. Thank for the well wishes!

Yes, I would like to be just a freelance artist and sell my creative work. However, i tried for the past couple months and didn't seems any easy to get things going? This probably not making up anywhere near my regular income, I'm was hoping other online income can help me out? Any help will appreciate!!

first you have to realize to build an income on line you need to build it. you need to go step by step to start to create an income. you don't just one day make hundreds of dollars. it doesn't work that way. you need to find a few programs where you can start to make money with, rather free or paid, and start finding creative ways to build a downline. what i have done is helped people like you make it so much easier to get other people to join them in some of the best programs online to make money with. just know... it takes time, but it's worth it. check out my site on my profile page. onces you build a following, then you can tell those people about your true passion which is your art...

anything that is related to our regular job. it is possible to do it with the help of computer and internet. Like if an accountant, you can do it at home. if you a call center agent, you can do it at home. if you are a web designer, you can do it at home. Most especially if you are a writer.

First off, let me congratulate you on almost being able to work from home! Not many prole can do that and support themselves! Secondly, I actually don't know if it would be my dream job. Yes, it'd be nice to stay home and work. But I do love my job now. I'm only nineteen years old, but I want to be a teacher. I love kids. I feel like that's my passion and I don't want to give that up, even for an easier job. I mean, I think working at home would be a better potion if I had kids or someone to look after at home because then I could spend all my time with them.

Actually it's not a dream! It cam be a huge reality. You have to work harder at it to start up. It takes time and the ability to overcome obstacles. Creativity and making your own path are essential. It's been a year for me building a little income. About $270 a week. Hard work, that's what it is.

I actually would love to work from home. I am not really sure of what to do, however, there are so many scams out there.... I suppose I could keep teaching but at home as in tutoring or teaching languages or something LOL but I don't know how well it would work. Still it's something I would really like to do:)

hi 34momma to me a dream job would be writing and really getting paid well for it on the net along with my mylotting too. But so far have not seen any sites that really pay much so do not know, I will for now just 'stick with mylot and mysurvey.com as they do pay me and I can depend om them both too. I love to write and I feel I am good at it too.

I like to work at home. But in my country, there are not popular this kind of work. Working at home brights many advantages which can help us to develop skills in crease, produce. But working at home has many disadvantages too. It make us depend on Internet and communication between us will be worst.

I also dream of working from home. I want to start a business that has anything to do with art, like scrapbooking or something, or maybe I could do some party preparations. I just don't like my work right now, and I hate being stuck in the office everyday for 8 hours.

I have always dreamed of working from home and now I realize it! I do have an office job but for the last 3 months I have not been going to my family's office as we had our summer break. It's adding up to my income and I cannot wait to buy my own laptop and a portable wifi connection so even in the office if I am not doing a lot of things I can go on and earn online that means doubling my online earnings. The one thing I love about earning online is that I can do it in my pj and when I have my own laptop I can go to the cafes and do my stuff in there, that is a change of scenery. But mostly I prefer to work at home as I can enjoy different position and not worry about being poised as opposed to working in public areas. Also the work from home scheme is really convenient because even if I take a vacation I am still going to earn money by taking my laptop with me to where ever it is I wanna go. Cool right?

candyfairy isn't it just great. you can roll right out of bed, log into your computer and start making money. Yes it does take some time and effort to create a following, but in time all that hard work will start to pay off!

Somehow. If full time work at home, I dream of being a freelance web designer or having a business. But as a part time work at home, I prefer light works like clerical or photo editing.

Yes, I would like to work from home as it means I can be here for the kids. I do some online things like review sites, doing online surveys and so on. But I would like getting more money (of course!), maybe being an author or freelance journalist.

The thing with working at home is that most people want it but they give up very easily. Importantly everybody should do there research before joining anything. The other is that in most online business the power is in getting refferals. Once you master that. Things should fall into place.

To work from home is not my dream job, besides I do not consider it as a job. My dream job is actually to apply my profession, although I dreamed that someday when I have established my own, I wanted to create an office in my home. However, at this time of being a freelancer, I prefer to work from home because it is more convenient and practical. No hassles being late and stocked in the traffic streets. I will not necessitate to think of what to wear and hold my time. But I never plan that this will be forever because I still wanted to apply what I have taken up. That is my dream job.

I have been working from home for a few years doing freelance writing. I was doing okay at first but the amount I earn lately resembles pocket money! The problem with submitting work to editors is that they can take months to decide if they want the piece and more months to publish it and of course you don’t get paid until the article is in print! I have a daughter so working from home is still what I want to do although at this stage I’m not sure how I could supplement and increase my earnings. One idea is an online business. I advise lots of research to anyone considering this.

I never dream to work from home. I think that was good idea but I the important is earn descent money with our job. It doesn't matter whether I work out, or at home. My obsession was make my own business and employ others under my company. But I think I can't realize my dream since now I am fully time employed in government office.
