Working home based is the kind of job that most mothers would like to grab now. If you’re one of work at home moms, it would be very convenient for you to work at home where you can take care of your kids. Especially if you have a toddler, you can easily attend to your kid’s needs after work without having to travel back home from work.

What’s the foundation?

Work at home moms who have been working as an online home-based English instructor for a couple of months is a big help. It would indeed be favourable for mothers if you have extensive knowledge of English language. What you’ve learned from the university is a huge advantage in working home based because it will be your tool to succeed. Nowadays, jobs available in the Internet require high level of proficiency in English language.

If you have been working office based, you can innovate yourself by establishing your own business at home. Some of the disadvantages of working outside the home are; one, expensive dining out and two stressful travelling back and forth that includes getting caught in the traffic. These are reasons why you really yearn to working home based.

Factors to consider when working home based.

Begin your search online about available home based jobs. With your credentials having high level of English proficiency, some of suitable jobs for you are English instructor, writer and transcriptionist. However, there are factors that you need to consider working home based. First of all, you need to have a good-conditioned computer with certain software needed. Another is you have to have a stable Internet connection that you need to pay every month. Then, you must be ready with maintenance of your equipments. You also need to realize that after working at home for several months, it will not be easy as you previously thought. You have to maintain the condition of your computer, and need to have 24/7 Internet connection and electricity. You must also expect to have some delays on the quality of Internet connection, so there should be a backup plan. Therefore, you might encounter problems such as intermittent connection and disconnection at times. Power outage could also be a problem sometimes. Without electricity, obviously you can’t work because your computer and Internet modem depends on it. Considering these factors, you have to be resourceful and you have to be ready to be able to think of alternatives in case of these problems. Fortunately, if you have saved from your previous work office based, you might have already owned a laptop. In case of power outage and Internet connection problems, you can use your Android phone or tablet PC with tethering feature. Another factor that you would have to consider is your home environment as compared especially in your current job. If the job that you get working home based includes making video call interaction with clients, you must consider improving a small portion of your house. Make this portion suitable for the job without distraction and too much background noise. It must also be comfortable in your part.

More than considering these factors working home based, people who are self-motivated, self-disciplined, flexible and independent would probably succeed as one of the work at home moms.
