The Myths Of The Current Workplace Dilemma Are Relentless – Working From Home
Generally speaking, there are many truths about what is going on in the job market since COVID struck in March of 2020.
Incidentally, the first choice was about what jobs were considered essential. In general, doctors, nurses, garbage collectors, and more all sought a position on the list.
For months, employers demonstrated day after day that the jobs for the hardest workers meant nothing.
Under the circumstances, employers expected the same revenue from fewer workers.
Surprisingly, it worked for a minute, but reality set in.
Oh boy did the fireworks begin. Staff began calling out or just flat out quitting. Skeleton crews were everywhere.
For many, the potential to catch COVID was real. For others, working harder for the same pay was a reality too.
At this stage, life had begun taking on a whole new meaning. Moreover, the stimulus money that many was receiving made vacating jobs more palatable.
In doing so, a number of people, hundreds of thousands turn to the internet and other self-employment opportunities.
At this point, people saw opportunities that a they had been overlooking for years. Now, driven to accomplish more, they are relying on themselves as a part of having more.
In fact, they are not wrong because wages have been stagnant since the 1970s with very little upward mobility.
Yes, people are needed for every position available to mankind. Employers would rather overwork and under pay you than give you a living wage.
Profits Over Employees, they say!
And without the government’s stimulus package for businesses, a number of companies would have went under.
Actually, a lot of businesses did suffer great loses and closed doors.
But that is not what we are here about, is it?
Let’s look at 5 jobs we can do from home. Cash outlay is also relevant to the cause.
Astonishingly, small investments with moderate to substantial incomes are always a plus.
“The theory that if wages go up, employment goes down isn’t a physical law like F=MA. It’s a moral law, like ‘Bedtime is 9:00 P.M.'”

On average, it could take anywhere from 18 – 36 months to see an in flux of revenue. It is a long-haul game that can leave you bruised.

Incidentally, operating from a trustworthy place is essential to the cause. You will reap what ever you sow.
Affiliate Networks Has A Deal To Offer
While generate significant revenue online, an affiliate network is a successful marketing strategy used to drive sales.
Both businesses and affiliate marketers can find the arrangement extremely beneficial to one another.
“According to an industry review on affiliate marketing, affiliate networks are in a period of growth — with 7 in 10 advertisers stating that they intend to increase their affiliate marketing spend in the next few years,” as stated by Usman Raza at Pole Position Marketing.
Amazon, Awin, and ShareASale are but a few affiliate marketing networks in the fray.
Amazingly, using a similar business model as affiliate marketing, joining affiliate networks grants you access to unsellable products.
All without the headaches of inventory, sales staff, or other overhead associated with selling stuff.
Earning A Commission
Within hundreds of thousands of products available online. This is similar to drop shipping which will be discussing later.
With an affiliate network, you simply earn a commission for driving traffic through these intricate networks using links specially designed for each affiliate.
Commissions can range from 2% to 50% per sale. Product, company, and circumstance make all the difference.
Affiliates can fall into three distinct buckets: 1) low margin; 2) the happy median; or the high-end bucket.
Ironically, 80% of new marketer fall into a gap between the low and median buckets. Then the 15% are the more seasoned marketers who are just becoming good at the game.
Reluctantly, that high-end buckets is for the real warriors that are risk takers. Not really!

You too can join their ranks if you are willing to work for it.
Data Entry, Old But Not Forgotten
Data entry is the second oldest thing since computers. Someone has always been needed to apply those keystrokes.
Still much in demand today, data entry will almost forever be an indispensable chore.
But if I typed 95 I WPM (words per minute), I would be one data entering executive.
Since the not so recent changes in the HIPPA laws, there has been a push to computerize records around the world.
All of this technology and someone still has to type. Go figure.
Medical coding and billing is one of the most high demand jobs. The number of records, documents, and more to be transcribed would surprise you.
A computer, telephone, and fax machine are the only outlay for this type of business opportunity.
In some instances, you can work from anywhere in the world with a good high-speed internet connection.
Sounds like a plan!

Is Drop Shipping A Safe Bet For Entrepreneurs?

Drop shipping is an order fulfillment process that allows e-commerce businesses to take a hands off approach to procuring, storing, and shipping products to a buyer.
This method of selling appeals to entrepreneurs in the are of benefiting from low overhead and low capital investments.
Needless to say, it can come at a cost.
E-commerce is very competitive field to play on. Drop shipping often appeals to entrepreneurs looking to earn money off of generic products.
Unfortunately, it can curb chances to build a brand or distinguish products.
Businesses that use drop shipping for the most part end up competing on price, which leads to low profit margins.
One major drawback to this arrangement is that as the seller, you handle the customer service, returns, and complaints.
To many, that headache is negligible. Naturally, the quality of the product and the service provided has a lot to do with it.
The fact that you have no control over the quality of a product, you leave yourself vulnerable.
Yes, some businesses believe the good in drop shipping outweighs any negative issues they may encounter.
Choose wisely!
