Employment Creation: Work from home

Start a Career From Your Computer!

For too long the hierarchical structure of the modern workplace has lead to people hating their jobs. We don’t want to be submissive, we don’t want to be treated unequally, and we most certainly don’t want to be fired for silly reasons. With the birth of the Internet a couple decades ago, the people who were shackled by these types of job were given another option.

Working From Your Computer

What many people fail to realize is that with the right knowledge, determination, and a laptop, you can live a successful life as your own boss! There are many different options for you to consider when making the transition to a life of Internet self-employment.

The first commandment of working online is to educate yourself as much as possible before becoming dependent on an internet income. Before you go quitting your job and grabbing your laptop, you should educate yourself a little bit in the world of Internet Marketing.

Warrior Forums is a the top free source of information covering a wide variety of areas in making money online. You can immerse yourself into a community of people eager to guide you towards success in your career on the Internet. Listed below are a few of the most popular career paths people take from their computers.

Writing

Being a writer used to be a risky career path. You had to know the right people, have the skill, and hope that your efforts could put food on the table. Now, all you need is the gift of curating words and an Internet connection!

The Internet is constantly being updated with an unfathomable amount of information. Because of this, there is a constant demand for writers to make web content. Using internet platforms like oDesk, Elance, and iWriter you can easily get writing assignments to pay with little to no experience.

If you don’t believe me I could tell you that right now I am making a living through writing posts like this. Instead of dressing up in a shirt and tie I’m in my pajamas and listening to my favorite tunes with a cup of coffee. Who needs riches when you can live this comfortably!

Promote Yourself

If you have something you are passionate about and good at, why not combine it with the Internet to make money? It isn’t that difficult to use the Internet as a form of promoting your goods and services. It also gives you the largest potential audience available!

Whether you make clothes, jewelry, write books, or virtually anything else, you can use the Internet to market yourself. Start a blog, use social media, or even reach out to affiliate marketers to promote your brand for you! With the right publicity you can use sites like eBay, Amazon, and WordPress to sell your product and build up your bank account.

Affiliate Careers

If you are skilled at persuading people and know a thing or two about how websites work, getting involved in an affiliate program can be a fruitful option. Find sites that offer affiliate programs like Amazon and build a WordPress site to promote a specific good or service.
This way you don’t even have to provide the product, all you have to do is make people want to buy it. Each time someone buys the product you will receive a percentage of the sale. With enough skill and determination you might find yourself making more money than you ever imagined!

Slow and Steady Pays the Bills

Like I said earlier, don’t rush your way into this career option. One of the best things about it is that you can test the water before you jump in. If you already have a job and you’re considering working online, try it out as a part-time job first.

Take a few hours from your week and try out some different things. Warrior Forums can introduce you to a whole bunch of different online jobs you never even knew existed. I didn’t even consider writing until I became a member and now I’m doing what I love for a living. Find enjoyable methods that you are good at and pursue them. Once you are confident in your ability you can make steps towards becoming your own boss.

Benefits of Working Online

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, or how much experience you have. Virtually anybody can work successfully from their computer with the right know-how.
You don’t have to leave your home, which is especially useful if you are a busy mom or dad. Simply clear a room of your house out that you can concentrate in and BAM you have your own office.
It may take time, but you can earn a steady income with less effort than you may think. Once you make the right connections and build on your skills you can earn a sustainable income to live off of.
No more office drama. You won’t have to listen about how Bob kissed Cindy or have to deal with your boss demeaning you with his authority.

If you have any questions or comments regarding working online, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below. A member of the Strong Whispers team will gladly discuss them with you!

i’ve experienced abuse at iWriter repeatedly where clients consistently have low approval rates. they decline more articles than they accept where rejection reasons are gibberish. what has adam’s experience been at iWriter? did you make it to elite/premium status without paying the $150 fee (i.e. worked your way up, article by article?)

  Hi buzz
  
  Thanks for stopping by. So we take it that you have had a poor experience with iWriter? From your experience do you think that companies/clients provide enough guidance on the topics or do you find that they simply throw one-liners at you and expect you to magically come up with the goods?
  
  How we work…
  
  We source our articles two ways, we have a team of dedicated writers and we have a guest writing programme targeted at well established bloggers. We can tell you that we found the initial rejection rate very high when hiring the dedicated writers. We also have quite a large rejection rate for our guest writing programme. But we reject at the initial stages(via samples, published work) before the article is written so that the writer does not lose out. We also have a very friendly, interactive review process. We have rarely rejected work from authors that make it through the initial approval process. I think we have issued only 1 complete rejection after initial approval.
  
  Hope this helps shed some light on how different organisations work.
  
  I’m sure Adam will follow up on your question soon.

    Hi, thanks for responding so quickly. I appreciate the time you took to clarify your process. I gleaned as much from the article proposal page.
    
    Adam’s insights were very helpful. I was encouraged by his forthrightness and his willingness to share from his experience. It is also great to see that a real person has such success with StrongWhispers.
    
    I have been hearing a lot about the Freelancer’s Writer’s Den and Carol Tice, but am leery of those who ask for money upfront. What are your thoughts?
    - strongwhispers
      
      No problem.
      
      I think that as a Freelancer, one should not have to pay upfront. There are quite a few sites out there that take a commission and I think that is fine – they have to stay afloat somehow and commission is probably the most fair way to do so. Everything is above board and if the contractor/writer supplies acceptable work, then everyone is a winner and neither the client nor the writer is out of pocket upfront.
      
      Generally, schemes in which you pay money to ‘make money’ should be avoided. Now this does not apply to things like starting a business – you have to make an investment to begin with. But saying that, no ’employee’ should ever be out of pocket upfront. That’s how we try to operate here we think it’s fair.
      
      I know Carol put us on her list, but we did not review the other sites that she recommended before us.
      
      Based on the number of applicants we get to our guest post programme, I can tell you that the volume of writers out there is LARGE, but the frequency of applicants being good is far between.
      
      How about starting your own blog if you have not already done so. Choose a really specific niche and try and build a strong social following. It will be difficult to begin with and you may have to look at freelance opportunities in parallel to stay afloat, but in the long run, it may be well worth it.

  Thanks for asking Buzz, it’s been a while since I’ve worked with iWriter but I did notice an abundance of those type of employers unfortunately. With the new feature that allows half star ratings it is much more difficult for writers to get consistent ratings above 4.5 to maintain elite status.
  
  The best way to ensure success (the way I did it) is through careful selection and persistence. It’s always worth it to check whether or not the person has a high approval rating and good reviews before writing for them. If you are lucky enough to find people that like your writing, you can get consistent work from them with good ratings. I was fortunate enough to find several people like that, whom helped me quickly climb to elite status.
  
  Above all, patience is key! Facing rejection was always a tough thing for me but it helped me grow as a writer and learn what not to write. There are many people on article mill sites like iWriter that will reject for bogus reasons but as long as you take your time and select worthy employers, it will be worth your while.

    Hi Adam, thanks for your prompt response. To be honest, I was expecting some flaky response. I made sure to choose the best client possible, but since I refused to pay Brad of iWriter the $149 to become “elite/premium” (kinda like cheating, isn’t it?), the job offers for standard writers were quite limited. So, it was a choose the best among thieves. What I did (and this may be helpful for current iWriter freelancers) was bug customer support because I was confident I submitted quality well written articles according to the clients’ specifications and needs. At first, they concurred and “protected” my rating. After a few times, they likely got sick of me and I actually got an email response that said, “we cannot change your rating anymore.” LOL…Truth was, I was sick of them too and felt like responding with, “i wish i don’t have to contact you anymore either.”
    
    I contacted a “Mark Ling” via google circles who shared success with iWriter to ask for his insight. I never heard back.
    
    Well, my iWriter account is still ‘opened’, but I’m looking for other job sites. This is how I came to StrongWhispers, but I’m still at the “waiting to decide” phase – and want to read more reviews from actual users. I’ve seen your name around, Adam, and noted you have written several articles for StrongWhispers. Your success is encouraging, but the jury is still out as to whether this will work for me as well.
    
    Thank you for sharing your insights. You are part of the positives of this career! All the best!

This week has been my test week, to test myself, if whether or not I could continue at a comfortable pace and to ‘goal’ whatever number of articles a day or whenever I go online again what I can complete trying familiar and new fields! Hyper achiever!
Darlene Strand

When I write it is like a release of inner energy for me. Giving me a opportunity to think, create, and focus on any topic that comes to mind. I have recently entered to short stories for practice. I enjoy writing from home. Hope to do more with what skills I have and build up my ability to try other forms of ‘free lance writing’. I believe my potential is or can be endless. !
