Telecommuting Myths

If you are interested in telecommuting, you may have heard some of the following statements, which are completely false. Here are some telecommuting myths you may have heard:
There are nothing but scams available. Finding a telecommuting job is probably harder than finding a day job, but it can be done. It’s true that you may have to screen through a lot of scams to find a telecommuting job, but that doesn’t mean there are no legitimate opportunities available. You should never have to pay for a job. Use freelance bidding sites to get started, or network with others who telecommute.
By working at home, you won’t have to work as many hours and you won’t have to work as hard. Chances are, you will have to work just as many hours as you did when you worked outside the home and maybe more. You will have to be self-motivating, organized and disciplined. You may find yourself working a lot harder, just because of having to deal with distractions and demands for attention from family that you didn’t have to deal with in an office.
You will be able to make a full-time income right away. The potential to make better money than you made at a full-time job is there, but it will take time. There are a lot of lessons to learn when you begin to work at home, including how to balance your time, and how to line up enough work to have a steady income.
You won’t be able to make this work. This statement is often made by someone who is afraid to take this kind of risk, and is trying to discourage you before you get started. The truth is a lot of people succeed as telecommuters. There is no reason you can’t succeed too. All you need is persistence, determination and faith in yourself.

it is my first comment on this blog and at first I would like to thank you for the great information, which I were able to find in this and all previous posts , it really helped me very much. I will definitely iclude this website on my google reader
Also, I would like to ask - don’t you mind if I will quate some information from your website since I am writing articles for the Hub pages, Ezine and other articles directories (this is my part time job)? It would really help me with some of mine articles. Of course, I will mention your website name or URL (not all articles directories allows URL’s , so I can’t 100% promise that you will get a direct link to your website).
