Going GREEN By Working From Home

Going Green has been the hype these past few years. People are starting to understand our huge impact on the environment and what they do will either hurt or help this planet.

There are amazing ways to cut our emissions and become Green. More and more wind turbines are being built, solar energy is becoming more available and solar panels are becoming cheaper to purchase. One of the easiest ways to go green is by teleworking or telecommuting. Most workers actually prefer to work from home and many employers can cut costs and save money by not having to heat/light a building full of employees. By avoiding the commute to and from work and idling in traffic we can cut billions of tons of carbon emissions. Amazingly, an estimated 14 million workers will be telecommuting or working from home this year. It is said that if every worker in America worked from home just one day a week we could conserve 1.35 billions of gallons of gasoline and reduce 26 billions of carbon dioxide from being released into the air. These environmental benefits are huge and it is just one day of working from home!

Working from home or telecommuting can help you: preserve the environment, conserve energy, reduce our foreign oil dependency, and eliminate using up resources to build more and more cars. If you don't work from home, ask your boss if you can start telecommuting to save the company money, you money, and preserve our planet for future generations. And if you want to start working from home and need to find a job, try using the Jobs Based From Home Database and E-book for a huge list of available positions. Unlike what Kermit said, it actually is easy being green.

Stay Positive While Looking For Work

Looking for a job can be very discouraging in the current economic environment. Across the country you find examples of hundreds of people applying for just one position. Here is a story on 800 people applying for one school Janitorial job! It took me many months to find a work at home job so I can sympathize with those who are searching and searching with little success. Here are tips to help you stay positive while you search for work.

Look at each rejection as a learning opportunity- politely ask the employer for feedback on your interview and resume to help you improve for your next application.

Keep learning and growing- study up on the field you are applying to, take short courses, attend conferences or seminars to keep your skills up to date.

Talk to others- tell your friends and family about your work search it can be a cathartic.

Accept temporary work- pick up odd jobs, temp jobs, or even work which you are overly qualified for. Even if it is only for a few hours or days, this can help you stay busy and keep you on track.

Stay active- enjoy outdoor activities: bike, walk, swim, garden all these things will help relieve stress and boost your mood.

Be kind to yourself- you are probably your own worst critic, don't judge yourself too harshly. Sometimes you can do everything right and it will just take time.

Pay Comparison

Many of us worry about switching form a regular Brick and Mortar job to a work from home job because they feel the pay is not equal and they would have to spend money on office equipment/health care. There are many reasons why working from home is actually more cost effective. The money savings comes from: not having to pay for daycare, no need for new work attire, no need for a car or the extra expenditures(gas, routine maintenance, wasted time in traffic, paying for parking)and no need to buy lunches or worry about packing a lunch. The costs of all these factors could run anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of dollars a month!
There are some things that freelancers will have to pay for and those might include office equipment and health care. Most of us already own a computer in our homes and a brand new one can cost as little as $300! The health benefits can be solved by getting help from The Freelancers Union or you can use your spouses' health benefits. What about paid vacation? Considering most Americans only get one week of paid vacation; you could easily go on vacation and do work during the day and enjoy your evenings and weekends because you can work where ever there is an internet connection.

Now, onto the pay comparison of working from home vs. a brick and mortar job. The average hourly pay was taken from www.payscale.com. Here are some Brick and Mortar jobs that are comparable to working from home and the median hourly rate starting out:

Cashier $7.52
Retail Sales Associate $8.11
Sales Associate $8.24
Telephone Operator $9.12
Front Desk Receptionist $9.90
Bank Teller $9.92
Nanny $10.03
Medical Biller $11.00

All of the job positions found in the Job Based From Home Database start at $8/per hour and go up to $50/per hour. These job examples require no formal training or little training to get started, just like most of the work found in the Job Based From Home Database
From what I can see working from home pays just as much or more than the typical brick and mortar job, but without the extra expenses listed above. Because if you take into account the fact that you could be gone from home for 9 hours but only get paid for 7, and add in all the expenses, working from home is actually a savings! So if you are sick of wasting money and missing out on valuable time with your family; consider using the Job Based From Home E-book and Database and start living the life you want and deserve!
