Home-based Services

Home-based Services

The Internet has ushered in an Information Age. A person can sit at home and source information on his computer with the mere click of a key. Armed with this information, he can confidently venture into new areas of business which he would earlier have been bashful about. The home based career can also be a part time job that ekes out the extra buck that can make one's life comfortable and secure. There are several advantages to the home based career. The home provides a congenial working ambience for the individual. Moreover, it allows personal and professional freedom to people who have domestic responsibilities at home like children or aged parents to look after.

There are a variety of options available in the service, marketing and creative sector. Some home based careers are: Teaching • Tailoring • Translation • Catering Service • Needlework and Embroidery • Art and Design Work • Word-processing services • DTP • Photocopying • Astrology • Yoga • Aerobics and Physical Fitness Classes • Creche • Play school • Adult care • Counselling • Beauty care • Various consultancies • Cookery classes • Placement Bureau • Music and Dance classes • Hosting and Designing Websites • Advertising Design and Copywriting • Horticulture and Floriculture etc. The list is never ending. The possibilities for working from home are infinite. The homebased worker will have to be highly responsible to his work and keep to schedules. There may be a propensity to relax and procrastinate in doing daily duties since there is no regular monitoring of activities as in an office environment. Hence the home based worker should follow a strict regimen and be ahead of deadlines always. With self-discipline, perseverance, diligence, tenacity, resourcefulness and tact, one can make a successful career at home.
