Hello!

been to long since i have been on pcreview!

i have asked this question on a few forums, but not good enough replies. the only place where i know this question will most likely be answered is here.

im house-bound, so working from home i have to do. theres no option out of this one.

i dont want to be doing work when i know i can give alot more for it. my best option is teleworking...like, tech support but from home.

PC-wise, im capable. i almost have it on paper with a PC maintenance course almost finished. also, i can do nights, into the wee early hours of the morning (not that it may matter).

i do nothing all day but check up hardware, mild overclocking, contemplating PC upgrades, and helping people out with hardware problems on other forums. i will have to work at home, but i would rather be putting my passion as my work, something i know im good at and can be a great asset to an employer.

D I Y ... ;-)

Virtually every newspaper and magazine has offers of homework promising you that you can earn £££'s working from home for them. It is a sad fact of life that this is a sector which attracts more than its fair share of con-artists. Before responding to offers of homework from companies that advertise homework, check them out on the Net for scams. It may prevent you from getting ripped off.



Generally you will be far better off going into business on your own, using the same skills you are offering to these companies, but if you prefer to test the water without a huge outlay, they can be a good starting point. Don't however underestimate your own ability. If, for example, you can make soft toys of a standard acceptable to a company, you can just as easily make them for yourself, and sell them yourself.



Google is your friend here ... :thumb:
 
on another forum, someone said im better of having my own business, and fixing PC's that are sent to me and sent back via courier.

If for PC-wise im limited to this, then loads more factors come up. space and room, no workplace, no place to make a work place...

i have been offered to help someone out with there PC's for money, but when the day comes that i have to go there i cant, and end up disapointing people.

i would have to check up for the business thing...but isnt there alot of factors to take in? wouldnt i have to pay tax's? which would mean i will have to work and do way to much that i can do in the house im in (there literally no space, and no way of making space.)
 
How about learning webdesign or coding?

You'd have to pay taxes over any profit over £4800-ish, plus national insurance contributions. I've been self employed for a few months now to do webdesign over the summer break at university and it's fairly straight forward for small incomes.

I'm not sure of any tech support company that has people working from home, but I am sure that some exist.
