As I said before, learning how to work from home can be a very time consuming and tedious task in the beginning phases. There are 3 start up basics, or principles, as I like to call them, that you should always remember. Adhering to these 3 principles will save you time, energy, and money in the long run.
First of all we do need to tick our simple checklist. If you really do want to know how to work from home online it is essential of course that you have a decent PC with an good speed of internet connection (ideally broadband).
You will also need to be organized, determined and prepared to work hard. The reason I make this last comment is because there are lots of courses and books being pushed online that have peddle a get-quick-rich message. This is unhelpful and is a stumbling block for many. The truth is that you can make a very good living at home using the internet and after all the hard work has been done it does get easier.
The first thing I would look for in a training course is the cost. I find it amazing the prices that internet marketers place on their courses. Their costs have nothing to do with the value of their course, and everything to do with what the market will bear. Keep in mind that many people trying to work from home and make money online are desperate. They will do whatever they think is required to succeed, even to the point of paying outrageous prices for training. Internet marketers sometimes take advantage of this and charge much more than you pay for something in the real world. They can get away with it by promising huge paydays to anyone who follows their instruction. Sadly, many don't.
Setting a schedule is a very important step in learning how to work from home. Set your work schedule hours, just the same as if you were working for someone else and punching a clock. Since there are no time clocks to punch at home, it can be very easy to go an entire day without having done much of anything. Would a boss in a Fortune 500 company pay you for no productivity? Of course not, and you should not feel any differently. I personally work on my websites from 9am-4pm, and then I take a break from 4pm-9pm to spend time with my family, cook dinner, etc. After everyone is settled for the night, I like to work a few more hours. I stick to that schedule.
Note: Even though I am definitely still putting in a full days worth of work, it is a lot easier and funnier when doing it in my pajamas!
The third thing I would look for in a training course would be whether there was any mentoring involved. The easiest way to learn something, anything, is to have someone show you how to do it. That's why we send out children to school to learn from a teacher, instead of just telling them to read the books and then write the tests. Teachers, coaches, mentors, anyone who will be a guide to you will accelerate your learning and put you on a fast track to success.
Remember these 3 principles of learning how to work from home and you will be off to a successful start.
