Give Me The Scoop 

How I Make Money From Home

I have a job. I'm a Medical Transcriptionist now for the last 12 years, 7 of which have been worked from home. I work full time with the whole nine yards. You know the benefits, i.e., insurance, PTO, 401K.

I'm an entrepreneur, an Affiliate Marketer. I developed my own web site about 5 years ago from scratch even to the point of teaching myself HTML and PHP/MySQL. I'm constantly in a learning stage with this because there's a lot to learn still, but I'm earning a steady income.

I'm a GTP (get paid to) participant. Yep, that's right, I participate in online surveys, paid emails, etcetera, and contrary to popular belief you can make a decent monthly income with these when you know where to go.

I'm a Seller. Yep, that's right, books, clothes, stuff around the house that still good but we don't need them anymore. Sometimes I sell on Ebay or Ioffer or even Ecrater.

So whether your looking for a job or a way to make money I can help you with that, because I've been there and done.

I've Been Scammed to Death: Show Me The Money 

Subcontractor or Telecommuter

Just so we are straight on terminology, a subcontractor/independent contractor is someone who works for themselves. They have clients who pay them to do a job. They pay for their own medical insurances entirely, they have to file a 1099, they put money aside so that they can take a vacation when they want. They supply their own equipment. Subcontractors are not employees, they are entrepreneurs who work from home.

Telecommuters are employees who work at home for a company who share in the expense of medical insurances. They accumulate PTO for vacation and sick days. In most cases, depending on the policies of the company they work for, they may work set hours from home either fully or just 2-3 days a week. They have a supervisor or manager they have to report to. Their company supplies the equipment.

Now that we are on the same page which do you want to be?
