When I get out of bed I earn a six figure income from home. Isn't that a statement we all wish we could say and actually have it be true? Well the reality is that earning a living from home is not the fast and easy afternoon delight that many scam artists want to make you believe it is. Working at home is just as hard and sometimes even harder than working outside of the home. Making a good income from home is indeed possible but it is just as difficult as making a living outside of the home, and work from home brings with it a whole new set of challenges. It is not as stress free as some people seem to think.

The good news is that there are honest and legitimate jobs that you can do from home. Home based businesses have always been a choice one can make but most people want to just work and get a paycheck at the end of the week. This is indeed possible, you just have to make sure that you steer clear of the scams that are out there just waiting for a chance to take your money. There are many ways to accomplish this but the biggest way to weed out the scammers is to follow that old advice that your mother might have given you "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is". Many work at home scam artists feed on the desperation that a lot of people have to make income from home. Many people want to work at home to give their children a better quality of life by having a parent home with them instead of shipping them out to a daycare. They feel that by doing work from home jobs they will have more time with their kids. That can sometimes work out and sometimes not.

One of the biggest challenges to making an income from home, aside from finding legitimate work, is time management. It is very easy to get sucked into working all the time when you do your work from home. If this happens then the whole reason for working from home has just become null and void. It takes a certain type of person who can manage their time and stick to it and you won't really know if working from home is right for you until you give it a try. If you are spending all your time working because you cannot seem to get away from the work now that your office is in your home, then your quality of life and that of your family is going to suffer. Additionally when you are trying to make an income from home it is sometimes difficult to have other people take your work seriously. Family and friends can be sources of constant interruption because they cannot understand that you are indeed working and cannot socialize with them. This is the second biggest challenge of working at home and is something you need to fix as soon as possible if you want to keep working. Letting your family, friends, parents and whomever else intrudes on your work time know that you really have a job and need to be left alone at certain times is imperative to your success.
