Working from home... What do you do?

[lifesadream83]

If you are a working from home mom can you please kindly share what you do and how you came to be doing it.  I am thinking of what I would like to start doing while working from home.  

 

TIA

[aggieamy]

I work from home but my business is very specialized so I don't know how relevant or helpful it will be.  DH and I own an engineering company and before we started our company we both we're engineers with different firms.  We decided to do this so we'd have more time with family.  It's great and we love it.  I do have a number of friends that also work at home - one is a college professor and does online classes, the other helps her DH with his company, and one does technical writing.  

 

What did you do before kids?  What are your passions?  

[DragonFaerie]

I work from home VERY part time (because I'm also a part time grad student).  I do general transcription and book editing.  I got started in transcription after reading some transcription forums.  The best two are Transcription Haven and Transcription Essentials.  Tons of good information on both of those.  I got started with the book editing after hearing about freelance editing for epublishers from another homeschooling board.  I applied to a few epublishers, tested for a couple, and got hired on with one.  I don't make much money at it, but I enjoy it, and I like being able to put "editor" on my resume. :D  When I finish my degree, I'm hoping to begin teaching online college classes as my main gig and keep doing the editing on the side.

I do what I did before kids, but now I do it from home. And since youngest DD was born (12 years!), I just work part time. Thought my work would be delighted if I went back to full time. I'm a computer programmer so mostly it's me and my laptop and the Internet. We do lots of conference calls and virtual meetings, as well as IM for quick questions. I do my work in the mornings while DD and DS are doing theirs, so I am available for questions from the kids unless I am on a conference call, in which case the kids wait until I am off the phone and work on something else.

 

I agree with the earlier poster - look at the type of thing you did before kids and what your passions are for ideas on home that can be done from home.

That sounds awesome and a lot of fun.  Unfortunately, my expertise lies within the government's intelligence community and if I want to be in that field again there will be no working from home.  I love teaching and I have a plan to get me there.  Currently I am finishing my degree and then on to my MAT with an online teaching endorsement.  However, I was only planning on doing that after I start homeschooling my little one in 4 years.  I am trying to think of something I can do now.

This is similar to what I did. Different type of business, but same idea.

 

Dh and I own a small business. He works on site and I worked from home. Eventually, as the business grew, other people took over my duties, so I'm just, sort of, the silent partner, though dh probably wishes I took the term literally, sometimes. Ha!

 

I highly recommend the family business for couples who want to have one spouse at home, if it's at all a practical reality for you.

[SKL]

I have an office job that is mostly on the computer and requires almost no in-person meetings.  It makes no difference where I sit to do my job, so I sit at home.

 

My job involves accounting, reporting, and financial/tax consulting in a specialized field.

[G5052]

Yes, think about your skills and what you enjoy.

 

I work from home nearly full-time, but it took me years to build up to that.  Most people in my field find the technical part to be the hardest to deal with.

 

[LMD]

I teach piano from home.

[milovany]

I Skype into high school and college classrooms all over the country and transcribe the lectures/conversations for hearing impaired persons. I use a specialized software to type and the student is in the classroom reading what I type as I type it. It's a bit hard to get into because you need to be able to work onsite for training and your first hours and not a lot of schools have this technology yet. But it's an awesome job that, now that I work solely remote, I can do from home.

[Embassy]

I work for an online business that I used to own.  I do writing and work on the shopping cart.

[Mommyfaithe]

I do book keeping for my husbands business. Before that, I did book keeping from home for other small businesses.

[JoJosMom]

I do technical writing (part time) for a company in a field related to what I used to do out-of-the-home.  I was recommended for the position by a contact in my old job.  The field is insular.

[GSOchristie]

I am a photographer, who at this point, is just shooting weddings with my dh. We are in negotiations :) right now about me taking on more clients, particularly kid clients, which is what I am best at photographing. It works well because I am only working one day a week, usually Saturday, so our nanny comes one day for 10-14 hours. I can do any retouching/editing at night after they are in bed. We have a gallery in our house where we meet with clients.

[lil' maids in a row]

I have just started two little part-time businesses from home.  The first is with a children's book publisher.  I coordinate and host book fairs with local preschools and daycares as well as attending small community events.  Most of the work I can do from home or with kids in tow.  I am just getting started, and am hoping that I am able to make it profitable.

 

Next I am opening a small antique booth.  I don't expect to make a ton of money, but I really love what I am doing.  I find/buy furniture (cast-offs, garage sales, flea markets etc) spruce it up a bit and sell it.  Most of the work can be done at home or with kids in tow as well.  

 

I don't expect to get rich from either of these, but I am excited to see if I can make a bit of money each month.  I am loving the new challenge.  

[KungFuPanda]

I teach dance classes in my family room that has been converted to a dance room. It's small potatoes, but the commute is great and there's no overhead.

 

Since you want to teach, can you start by doing public school aftercare with a homework help component? Or tutoring?

[jenangelcat]

I generally avoid doing what I enjoy (hobbies) for a living because it can kill that enjoyment, but we were desperate.  Both dh and I are running a cosmetic company from home.  I formulate the recipes, make all the product and do all the paperwork.  He does all the PR (getting wholesale leads, writing press releases and selling to customers).  We both share in the graphics and packaging. He might have to go back to a regular job in a month or so though depending on how the trade shows workout for us.

I work from home helping DH run an online/B & M retail business. Our website.(The website is still a work in progress.) When the bottom dropped out of the construction industry we needed to do something radically different to keep us all afloat. One of the biggest challenges of having us both working from home was the line between work and home became blurred. We never shut the office door or had off hours. We still work 7 days a week, but with a physical location other than home, our house and school run more smoothly. I work mostly at home and he works on site closer to the beach and surfing.

[Alicia64]

There's a company called Capital One who want people to work from home. A friend does it. They answer calls for a certain thing. That's all I know. My friend had to take a test, but it didn't sound hard. They're looking for quality people w/ a good phone voice etc.

 

Good luck!

I knit for sale for a few years and actually did quite well, it would be hard now with 4 in school.

 

So now I am a trunk keeper for Matilda Jane Clothing. It's hard to get into, but sooo worth it for my family. I can't not express how much I LOVE and enjoy what I do. It keeps me going and sane, honestly. lol

OMG, can I just tell you how much I laughed at Eau de Poo?  Hilarious!

[LucyStoner]

I do very part time writing, editing, and fundraising consulting for non-profits. I could work as much as I wanted but I don't have the bandwidth or interest. I just take contracts from friends for small jobs. A pretty standard gig is planning an appeal and writing or editing all of letters and emails to go with it. Or editing a large grant application and helping someone get a phone meeting with a funder. I try to avoid drafting long grant proposals these days.

[BrookValley.]

I bill full-time hours as a technical writer and editor, but my job was in the office until I had kids. I just got very lucky that my company was willing to give me the flexibility to take my job home with me!

[jenangelcat]

Thanks!  It was a request from one of our retail accounts.  They wanted a local toilet spray.

The switch from construction to what we do now was a matter of necessity. It was something that evolved rather than a choice. We are not experts at anything, but we know how to work hard.

[ThatHomeschoolDad]

SAT prep.  I did a year with Huntington (awful) to learn the ropes, then worked freelance for some services for another 2-3 years, and have been on my own for about five years.  Now I'm booked solid with referrals and siblings until next September, taking 5 kids a week during school and about 10 a week in the summer, which gives me schedule flexibility.

 

$60/hr for weekly 2-hour sessions (NE NJ, and I'm still a tad on the cheap side).  Cash/check only.  I turn away maybe another dozen-ish kids a year, and I turn away requests for academic tutoring -- best to be a specialist, IMO.  I go to them, so I have control over my area of operation, although when I was working for a service, I did have to accept kids from farther away, which got old quickly.

 

It's been a goldmine.

What about etsy?? That might be a good market for you too?? :)

[mhaddon]

If you have a degree in education many of the testing companies (the ones that actually write the tests) always need people to write new test questions. You submit so many in a subject area and then they either approve or send back for editing. You can also edit them. You get paid so much for each question. I know that a lot of the major compaines that write books (like HM) have testing companies. I can get specific names from my husaband's cousin. I am so against testing that I never took up her offer, lol.

[Catwoman]

I homeschool.  I like it well enough, but the pay is terrible.

 

Same here. Who knew? :glare:

$60 an hour is a very reasonable price, and obviously your students are getting good results from your services or you wouldn't be so successful -- sounds like you've found a winning combination! :hurray:

[lmrich]

I tutor and teach classes at my home. Love it!

[Entropymama]

I did daycare when my kids were your kids' ages. The work was what I was already doing and the pay was great. When the oldest got to about 2nd grade I cut down to just two kids and did after-school tutoring for elementary aged students. The tutoring was easy and fun at that age. 

[ThatHomeschoolDad]

How would you suggested getting into this?  It sounds like it would be right up my alley.

 

 

Starting with a brick-n-mortar mill, like Huntington, Peterson, or Kaplan, is prob the easiest route, if you don't mind making $14-20 of the $75-150 the company racks in from each parent per hour.  Turnover was nearly 90% in my year there, but it was a foot into the industry.

 

There are oodles of online services to contract for, and plenty of mom-n-pop shops.  Studypoint.com was excellent, and they included onsite training, materials, etc.  Pay wasn't great, but they exceptionally nice, professional people who treated me really well.    Wyzant.com is more of a referral service, but the only one on which I still keep an account for those rare slow times.  Wyzant keeps a percentage of your revenue, and you might need to low-ball your prices at first, but they also do background checks and test (easy) you into each subject you're authorized to teach.  Pay is fast weekly direct deposit, and they withhold taxes, which gives you a paper trail.

 

I taught an accelerated SAT course for a couple summers at a local community college -- daily lectures for a week was like training a fire hose on the poor kids, but it was guaranteed money, inside the AC, and good for what it was at the time.  Same goes for the course I put up for auction each year to benefit the NJYC.  As a service, it's not deductible, but it's a continual source of referrals, and let's me give back to an organization I dearly love.  There are LOTS of sources for kids and you just need one parent to talk to another and it kinda snowballs.

 

One thing worth doing, simply because most tutors do NOT do it is....

 

Take the SAT.

 

Sorry.

 

I did it in 2005, and it was quite a bit different than the one I did for real in 1986.  I was also able to bang out a high score, with two 800's, which is important benchmark to some parents, at least around here.

 

Since the College Board is making noise about revamping the test for '15, I'll prob take it again, but I have my doubts about their meeting that deadline.  The ACT is gaining market share, so I suspect it's kinda panic mode down in Princeton.

 

I also do a teeny bit of business helping kids with application essays, just because I need to use that English degree for something, and it's a bit of a natural offshoot when you're always talking admissions with so many paranoid parents.  It's worth reading up on the game -- Gatekeepers was a great read, as was Admissions Confidential.  It might be overkill to read the Chronicle every week, but I certainly peruse it here and there, just to sound like I sorta know what I'm talking about.   :huh:

 

Go get all the SAT books from the library and you'll find a favorite.  I only use the Chris Black's McGraw Hill Guide for the lesson content, then the Blue Book for additional practice if needed.  I also have a collection of bootleg....ahem...photocopied real SATs from my time working for one company that sent every contract tutor out to take the test yearly.  I keep saying I'll write my own some day, but the printing costs would most likely be more than buying a few dozen from Amazon each year -- plus I'd have to do more work, and I've got this thing down to pretty much rote.

 

One thing this job will do is greatly increase your confidence about HSing, because you WILL see a ton of kids who, by Junior year, are beyond the help you really want to give them.  The flip side is that, so far, each cycle, I get one or two brilliant kids who are really fun to work with.  Actually, it's not that much different from what DW says after 27 years teaching public school!

 

My fav kid from last spring HSd K-8, and is now a PS senior.  She just got a YES from Harvard...and is making them wait until she hears from a few other little schools.  I just think that is so cool, and the kind of intestinal fortitude that you prob can't explain no non-HSers.

 

My worst kids, by far are private school kids whose homes have echoes.

I guess I'm just curious on how you picked that exact area to focus on/sell?  It just seems so out of left field to me.  And I ask because I am truly curious - I like thinking out of the box but I have yet to be inspired (for me in this area).

I see that I don't altogether understand "work from home."  I rather thought it meant that the work actually took place in the home: daycare, transcription, some engineering, instrument teacher/tutor if tutoring in one's own home.  I thought that things that required the bulk of the work to be done outside of the home as not work from home: construction, photographer, instrument teacher/tutor if traveling to a public space or the students' homes.

 

So, I didn't answer at first b/c the bulk of my wk happens outside my home.  I'm an interpreter and go to the clients.  I office at home but leave to do the actual interpreting work.  

 

I cannot tell you how much I love interpreting.  I used to be a teacher but when my daughter came along I just didn't want to wk anymore.  After a while I wanted to do something but didn't know what . . . I finally decided to try my hand at interpreting (ha, I love puns . . . I'm an ASL terp), and was smitten.  I'll never look back.

 

I strictly freelance.  I've subbed in schools once or twice and for other places that have staff interpreters and those are not at all for me. I love freelancing in the community and I love seeing such a variety of the human experience from this perspective.  I just love it.

I'm an interpreter and go to the clients...I finally decided to try my hand at interpreting (ha, I love puns...I'm an ASL terp), and was smitten. I'll never look back.

Many call what I do (see above) "text interpreting." Most of my clients are HOH, not deaf, so they don't know ASL...they read my text interpretation instead of a sign interpretation. So I understand how you love it! We actually have a lot of sign interpreters who are also text interpreters.

[umsami]

You should look into competitive intelligence/business intelligence.  Look on Linked In for SCIP and follow the boards. It was my pre-SAHM profession, and you would be a good fit with your background.  More and more consultants, etc. work remotely.

[Jenny in Florida]

Currently, I tutor very part-time with an online service. The pay is low, but the commute to my computer is easy, the hours are relatively flexible, and I can work in my pajamas if I wish. I don't have to leave my dog home alone to go to work, either, which is worth a lot to me.

 

 

[lifesadream83]

Thank you everyone!  I am definitely looking to be more in my goal profession, somewhere in the teaching arena.  I will have to look into "tutoring" and similar outlets when I get to GA.  I think that would be right up my alley.  I wonder if I can home school other peoples kids that would be fun.  I will need to look into the laws requirements.  I do not really want to do something that would require me to leave the kids.  DH works hard during the day and I cannot expect him to come home and do more.

Thanks so much for all the information!  My biggest concerns were what to teach from (thanks for the book links) and the fact that my SAT score from way back in the day wasn't that great (1140).  It never occurred to me to take it again.  I wonder if I would do well or embarrass myself. :D  One problem that I may have is that I live in a really tiny town (one high school with last year's graduating class of 88 students).  But, I am just 30 minutes away from UGA, so there might be hope.

A small school district could still be very good, since you never know how the parent connections work. I get jobs in other towns because one kid knows another from being on the same swim team, or the parent is a customer of another parent's bank, etc. It can be a wait for that to blossom, but when it does.....hold on tight.

 

I'd also wait to retake the test until you've taught it for a year or two. Just knowing the beast will change your score, and you can choose to advertise that result or not. Most tutor's don't, which is why I do.

[G5052]

Yes, networking and building on what you've done is the key.  

 

My main client grew out of low-paid local work and a friend who was already working for them online.  I was able to ditch the local, out-of-house work and do almost the same thing online for more pay.

 

Today I've been in back-and-forth emails with a former boss that I did both face-to-face and online work for, and she's put in a request to her V.P. to hire me on contract for online work.  No details, but she said I'd be happy with the terms.  We've been talking about working together for awhile, but she finally has the $$$ now.

 

I've found that once you prove yourself as a reliable work-at-home person, jobs tend to fall into place.  Getting started is the tough part.
