How Much Does A Stay At Home Mom Really Make?
I’ve had several surgeries during the past four years. I decided to begin looking for work that I could do from home. I had no idea where to start. Many sites have a reputation of scamming people who work from home, and that was a situation I did not desire.
One morning while checking my mail on the Internet I opened a site from one of America’s top TV programs and I opened it up and started reading and it opened up a whole new world for me. This site showed me where I could go on the Internet to get FREE information about work from home. I was awed because I had been searching for legitimate work at home for some time now.
I then became a member of the forum. The site had so much information about other work at home jobs and sites, and other useful, everyday information. You could even start your own questions and ask that members give their best opinion.
I wasn’t to sure of what I could actually do from home since my past work experience consisted of mainly customer service. I wasn’t even sure of what kind of pay to except or ask for because working from home has many advantages and I knew the pay would be somewhat of a lesser pay.
One of the sites at which I applied at, paid at least minimum wage, which was surprising to me. I had thought the pay would be less than minimum wage, but this site offered to pay me at least minimum wage.
I decided that I needed a work at home job that did not require phone work. I had four grandchildren living at home with me, so a quiet environment to do phone work would be impossible. One company I applied for, that required no phone work, sent me an e-mail saying I begin working that day! I had heard new owners over took the company and had cut the pay by half. I took the position with the company and receive a pay of about .50 per 1000 keystrokes. The pay isn’t excellent, but I’m excited I got the job because I’ve heard many others applied and hadn’t received anything back.
If you have a degree or other certification, many companies will pay you a lot better. I’ve seen some companies that will pay an hourly rate of $12-$14/hour, which is very good for work at home jobs. Most companies pay you for the work you do, but it varies.
So I think the working at home industry has many advantages and pluses. You can probably make just as much working at home as any other regular job. Pay is based upon your work experience and computer skills, or other training, or degrees. With many jobs available to those looking for work at home positions, I’m sure the pay you are looking for is available, for they type of work you will most likely be doing, even minimum wage is a reasonable amount of pay for the particular job.
