Work at home: main reasons why you should work and not leave home

Thanks to the advent of the internet, anyone (even those without college degrees) can now work at home and earn a decent amount of money. Depending on your skills and interests, you can start your own online business or offer freelance services like SEO, ghostwriting, website building, etc. Depending on the amount of time you put in, you can potentially earn between $2,500 and $25,000 per month.

These are the main reasons why you should work at home:

1. It is profitable. Working at home won’t require you to drive to and from an office; this will save you money on gas. This also won’t require you to buy suits or office attire as you can work in your pajamas. You also do not need to invest in makeup (for female employees) and other things to make your appearance presentable.

2. It saves you time. If you have a typical 9am-5pm job, I’m pretty sure you wake up around 6am. That is not the same case when you are working at home. The moment you wake up, you can turn on your computer and you’re ready to go.

3. Flexible work hours so you have more time with your family. The other good thing about working at home is that you have direct control over your work hours so you can spend more time with your family. Let me give you an example; If your kids have a weeknight baseball game, you can go ahead and wait and work through the night.
