Do You Have To Work More Than One Telecommuting Job To Earn Full Time Income?

Today we want to talk about whether or not you will have to have more than one Telecommuting job in order to earn a Full Time Income. The truth is this too is a difficult question because it truly depends on what job you get as a telecommuter. As we have previously discussed, some telecommuting jobs pay more than others.

An entry-level research work will usually pay $8 to $15 an hour, depending on the job. Telecommuters with more experience may command a higher rate. Someone that has a proven track record could even possibly nail down a full time telecommuting position paying $30,000 or more per year.

If you haven’t developed your track record and your skills aren’t quite where you need them to be to land a full time telecommuting job then it can be really tough getting started. You may even need to pick up a couple of part time telecommuting positions to equal up to that of a full time telecommuting job.

If this is the case then you may need to work the part time positions while you begin to develop your skills and track record with your employers then eventually you too may be able to pick up a telecommuting job offering you a full time income.

As well as some jobs make NO guarantee for minimum hours, which can in turn make telecommuting a tough job for newcomers without having to pick up several different jobs and even some freelance work on the side.

If you do choose to pick up some freelance work the side, I would recommend HireMyMom.com as a good place to start. This too will help you earn some extra cash to work toward a full time income until you are able to land that full time telecommuting position.

How much money can be made with Telecommuting?

Last week we talked about the different ways that you can find a telecommuting position and the different websites that offer telecommuting jobs and information. As you can see, there are a number of places to visit to gather more information on Telecommuting. The one question that always comes to mind is “How much money can be made with Telecommuting”? We wanted to go over this topic to help you better understand the different things that go into figuring out what you can make as a telecommuter.

Of course, you can make money with any telecommuting job that you take, but the main question is how much money can you make? It’s possible that the telecommuting position will pay more because the employer won’t have to pay for things like office rent, utilities, sick time, and loss time due to turnover. When employers take this into consideration, they don’t have a problem paying a little more to have this luxury.

When it comes to any position, the main thing employers are looking for is qualifications. The more qualified you are for the position, the more money you are going to receive. It’s also possible to make more money if you have a degree to go along with the position you are applying for.

The amount of money telecommuting positions are paid is also based on the job itself therefore it is virtually impossible for us to tell you exactly what you would make as a Telecommuter. The different jobs will of course have different pay rates, just as any traditional job would. For example a data entry position isn’t going to be paid as much as an IT position simply because more knowledge is required. At the same time an IT position won’t be paid as much as a legal secretary.

The best thing to do would be to take your skills into consideration and then do some research online to see what the normal income range is for that particular type of job working as a telecommuter. After all what you will make as a Telecommuter may differ tremendously to what someone else might make, simply because of skill level and qualifications.

So when the question, how much money can be made with telecommuting comes up, the answer is almost impossible to answer but you can see that the potential of making more from home than working at a traditional office is there. It just all depends on the company you are working with, as well as the type of work you are hired to do.

Moms, Tishia and I are here at NAMS and I asked her to repost this from her blog for all of you. If you’re at all interested in learning about social media from the experts we got to hear today, I hope you’ll buy through her link and help her compete in the contest! – Kelly

Hey everyone! I’m writing this from the NAMS 3 workshop in Atlanta, Georgia right now. Let me just say that NAMS has far exceeded my expectations! I’m blown away by the speakers, the information and just all the networking going on here! It’s AMAZING. Seriously you need to consider attending the next workshop in August this summer! I WILL be coming back that’s for sure…but probably will fly and NOT drive through the mountains again (let’s just say I had a major meltdown because I was so scared while we were going through the mountains!).

So let me get right to the point! No beating around the bush right?

I’m working towards winning this sales contest that they have going on. We have until 5pm tomorrow, January 31st to see how many sales we can make on a product that 5 top internet marketing gurus sat right in front of me and created!

The product?

Strategies 4 Social Marketing.

Listen in as 5 top gurus – Willie Crawford, Kevin Riley, Maritza Parra, Jeff Herring, and Joey Smith – share their Secret Strategies for Driving Traffic and Dollars through Social Media. With an audience of 180 eager online marketers watching, five of the world’s most successful Internet Marketing masters revealed their secret strategies for leveraging the incredible power of Social Media.

I was one of those 180 eager online marketers mentioned above. Let me just say it was awesome and because I was sitting right here in the audience I can personally tell you that the product is packed full of great information and easy to implement tips from the gurus. The product is based around 5 questions:

1. Why would I want to build an online presence using Social Media? Isn’t it just about hooking up with buddies? Find out how Joey Smith transforms his online ‘buddies’ (and former girlfriends!) into happy and loyal customers.

3. How do you drive traffic using Social Media? Take notes as Willie Crawford explains exactly how he achieves an “economy of action” with his Social Media efforts. (Hint: he is traffic-driving legend for a reason!)Do you still need an email list if you have thousands of followers online?


4. How can you convert ‘friends’ to a list and why? Jeff Herring explains why you still need both – and offers great insight into how to convert your Social Media lists into responsive email marketing lists.


5. Do conversion tactics still work in Social Media? Kevin Riley offers some great ideas on who you should be following and why – and how this can dramatically improve your conversion rates.

Strategies 4 Social Marketing, like mentioned above, sells for only $17.00. And this is exactly why I drove through the mountains!

Where to find Telecommuting Jobs?

Last week we talked about what telecommuting is so you should have a pretty good idea now of what exactly telecommuting is and if it is right for you. Now we are going to talk about where to find Telecommuting Jobs.

Now that you know what telecommuting is, how do you find work as a telecommuter? We are going to go through some different ways you can begin your job search as a telecommuter.

Before we get started … be sure that you create a Professional resume that gives your previous work history, skills and references so that you have this ready upon request.

Okay now lets move onto the job search …

First you may start by asking your previous employers to see if they would have an opportunity for you to pick up some telecommuting work at home. After all they already know your work ethic and may have some work that they can allow you to bring home.

Just remember when you approach someone about doing telecommuting work that you are sure to point out the things we went over in last week’s blog post. Things like why it would benefit an employer to hire a telecommuter.

Next you might try looking locally in your area. Look in local newspapers, call local small businesses, you may even try calling temporary agencies in your area to see if they have anything available in the telecommuting field.

If you have no luck looking locally, you may want to move your search online. There are a couple different ways that you can begin your search online. You can begin by looking on websites such as Career Builder or Monster.com.

When doing a job search for any job online you want to be aware of scams. You can learn more about what to watch for as far as online work at home scams at Rat Race Rebellion. Not only does this website list information on scams but they also have a job listing for opportunities that have been checked out and are true opportunities to find work at home. You can visit the Job Listing here. They also have a mailing list so be sure to check that out while you are there!

Another great resource to check out is JustOnlineJobs.com. They are committed to providing the best information, advice and resources for anyone who would like to work from their own home. We provide weekly updated content, daily legitimate work at home jobs, reviews of work at home resources and more. So that’s another great place to check!

You can also do a search on google.com or yahoo.com using keywords such as Telecommuting, Tele-work, and Telecommuter to see what you can come up with there. Just keep in mind that there are scams out there so be sure you read the link I posted above about watching out for work at home scams.

If all else fails then you may want to look into starting your own business. You’re probably thinking what? But seriously if you cannot find the opportunity you want and you still want to work out of your home as a Telecommuter, then you may wish to look into starting your own Virtual Assistant/Freelance Business. This would allow you the tools to show your new clients, or employers that you are a serious Work at Home Professional when you do come across that job or client that you want to work for! You can learn more on how to start your own Virtual Assistant Business here.

We hope this gives you a good start for your Telecommuting job search. Next week we will dig into just how much money you can make being a telecommuter.

Today I wanted to talk about Telecommuting. I’m sure you have heard of Telecommuting but what is it really? Well, that’s what we are going to talk about today. We want to help you get a better understanding of what telecommuting truly is and is it right for you?

Telecommuting, also known as tele working, is the act of working from a remote location, usually one’s home. This is made simple with the use of various telecommunications technologies. Such as a telephone, fax machine and the Internet. Many telecommuters are also set up with web conferencing capabilities allowing them to sit in on office meetings via modem and webcam, or at the very least, a
conference call.

When we think of working at home we think of joining a business, starting a business or doing freelance work. But have you ever considered doing work as a Telecommuter from home? (more…)

My business would not be anywhere near the success it is today if it weren’t for me using my voice to communicate.

Imagine Kelly McCausey without a podcast or the Hot Seminar Series or the many audio information products I’ve created over the last five years.

I can’t do even begin to think of it!

Verbal communication is a skill that everyone needs, even if it just so you feel comfortable talking with a potential client, customer or recruit on the telephone.

I’ve ran into so many moms who struggle (tremble!) at the idea of being interviewed or having to speak to a group in a conference room.  Even though they would be safe in their own homes, they still feel like they’re ‘speaking in public’ and it makes them cold with fear.

That is why I’ve created a new interactive learning opportunity, Verbal Confidence. Using my web conference room – which has audio and video capabilities – we are going to provide support, encouragement, skill building and practice opportunities – so that you can build your confidence and finally feel comfortable communicating with your voice.

This is perfect for anyone who questions their verbal skills but especially useful for those who want to be interviewed about their business, who would like to speak at web conferences or even host their own podcast.
