Simple Strategies to Ease Your Work-From-Home Job Search

Finding legitimate work from home opportunities can be a challenging task for the work at home wannabe.  The process itself can be fairly complex and finding that perfect job is not as easy as it may seem.  When you’ve spent hours, days, and months searching for a legitimate opportunity, only to get taken in by false claims, where can you go for help?

Here are some basic tips to help you in your work from home job search that will help decrease your frustration and ease the pain.

1. Perform a self-skills analysis.  What are your skills and what do you want to do?  What are you good at, and what areas are you experienced in?

2. Join communities, message boards, forums and other groups that are focused on working from home to obtain useful and valid work from home information.  This is a great way to get job leads, obtain information and share your experience with others.  I cannot stress how important it is to network with others!

3. Create a professional resume that outlines any and all relevant experience.  Be specific when doing so because a potential employer is going to want to know specifically what you have to offer.  Outline your skills in a specific manner and include what particular software programs you have worked with and how you have utilized those.  Keep that resume focused on that job you are applying for!

4. Follow-up with potential employers.  Don’t wait in line as if you have all the time in the world. A simple follow-up phone call or email means a lot to most potential employers.  You have to remember, companies that hire home-based workers are usually overwhelmed with potential candidates.  If you contact them, they are much more likely to remember your expressed interest.

5. Avoid those that claim to provide a work from home opportunity for a fee.  There are a few legitimate places that may charge a fee for certain things, but watch very closely before committing to those.  Why in the world should you have to pay someone for the opportunity to work for them?

6. Patience and persistence are both very important when you are looking.  Don’t expect to be earning a full time income immediately, unless you happen to get really lucky and instantly land the perfect job.  

Just remember, you have to start somewhere and finding that job most likely will not happen instantaneously.  Be patient and persistent, never give up!  I wish you luck in finding the job that suits you!

Overcoming your Home Business Fears

Did you know that all people are natural-born sellers? It's just that not everyone realizes it. The first thing that comes to our mind is the fear of doing a home business. This is because you are in doubt whether you could sell your product or service. Most often, fears of selling come in several forms. Either we worry about not being liked, or being perceived as pushy, we worry that our product or service might not perform as we say or we struggle with the idea of rejection. Knowing the source of your fear (sometimes it can be a combination) is an important part of overcoming your fear of selling.

Next it is important to take action to address the source. In this way, you are taking action to overcome your fear. Did you know that fear is only FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL?

In some cases, this might mean that you improve your product or service (you can use customer feedback for this), or you can find ways to share your product/service in a way that feels more authentic and natural to you. You can also find ways to "bounce back" after rejection which is easier to do if you don't take "no" personally.

Start small. Very often, people tend to tackle projects much larger than they can comfortably handle. When you want to overcome your fear of selling you should start small. Maybe you will share your new business with a few trusted friends first and then gradually find ways to expand your sharing to include a larger circle. The most successful business people are those who interact with others in an authentic, passionate way so find a way that feels comfortable with you and stay with it.

One other technique to overcome the fear of selling as you go on with your home business is to tap into your passion and enthusiasm for what you are offering. You can make a list of all the really wonderful benefits and successful outcomes of past customers. You can hang this list nearby where you can see it everyday and it will definitely boost your confidence.

Keep track of your successes by keeping a "wins" or success journal nearby and record your achievements in it each day. This will help you stay aware of just how much you do right. We sometimes tend to forget this.

Have fun with it rather than approaching this from a heavy "have to" or "doesn't feel good" perspective. Find a fun, interesting way to share your knowledge or passion.

It is also important to stay focused on your desired outcome. Most people take actions and reach their goals because they stay focused on the benefits of doing so. Sometimes, reminding yourself what you want, why you're doing this can help you take the next action and the next.

And finally keep practicing. Like any other business skill, "selling" gets easier the more you do it. So get out there, start small, and keep practicing!

Your feedback is important to us....and we wish you the absolute very best!
