Home Employment - Fact Or Myth?

I have heard that there is legitmate home employment oportunites; however, I have never actually found an actual situation that could work for me. At a time when gas is so expensive and I would like to implement my income I really need to find a second job that can be done from my home.

We all know someone who has a friend of a friend who has worked from their home. I know first hand people who’ve sold Jewelry and done parties, sold cosmetics or lingere. Of course that has been a staple of stay at home moms for years selling makeup, or other items from purchasing a small part of a larger franchise. But you can only sell but soo much from home. At some point you would have to leave the home to find customers. Once you leave the home it is no longer \”legitimate home employment\”. it becomes a day job.

My former supervisor asked me if i was interested doing medical billing at home, that he knew someone who was doing it and he would have them contact me. The thought was there but he never followed through. I recieved e-mails asking about the same thing being trained to do medical billing - the catch was you had to pay for the course and then no guarantee was in place that you would find employment. Primarily you would be doing most of your business with a internet entity. That’s not home employment that’s being taken advantage of.

If I could do my current job from home, I would work very hard and be honest about the amount of time I put in. Just the gas savings and drive time to and from work would give me an advantage!

I am currently working as a 1099 employee outside the home and the self-employment tax is killing me. It is better for the individual I work for to pay me this way so he does not have to pay the taxes; however, I must pay a 15% tax on all money earned after expenses are deducted.

Also, with the so called \”home employment\” scams being offered, you would have to file paperwork to set up your business. So this is really not an option for me or most people looking for an additional income from a job that could be done from home.

I would love to come up with some type of intellectual property that I could copywright; however, I don’t believe anything is new anymore, it has all been done before. Even if I did come up with an idea, who has the money to copywright it, have a prototype made and have it produced? I imagine that is why people need financial backing. If I had that I wouldn’t need a second job!

If Legitimate Home Employment really exists, why is it so hard to find? Where do these mysteries begin and who starts them? Why didn’t my Lotto ticket hit? so meany unanswered questions. I suppose I would have better luck spotting the Easter Bunny in my backyard.
