The benefits from working at home are abundant, as you might imagine. As an independent contractor, you make up your own hours and times you work. There’s no one hanging over your head every minute but you still may be required to do some kind of reporting to a boss. The time you spend working is not counted like a normal job, as you don’t punch a time clock but your wages are generally based upon performance, quality and amounts of work given to you. I enjoy working several legitimate work at home jobs at once, as it keeps my pocketbook full and I enjoy the diversity.
