Hi Kathy,

To be a successful remote worker, you will need to be pretty confident when using computer. Now, you don’t have to be a computer whiz but you should be able to comfortably navigate when using a computer. I would recommend training to boost your confidence and sharpen your skills!

Happily,

Ashlee

I am very interested in working from home. I have no little one and can work full time days. I will be moving to Florida soon and would like your thoughts.

Thank you

I have been searching and decided to be a Virtual assistant. I am good at scheduling and email management. However, I am not sure what to name my business. I am also doing proofreading. I don’t have a website yet.

I’m not applying to the most popular ones. I’m applying to the ones I KNOW I can do well! Still, no success.

I’m having the opposite problem. Everything is based in the US, and even though I have a US bank account, US address, US social security number and have paid US taxes for YEARS because I’m not currently in the US and looking for remote work I can do from “anywhere in the world” nothing is available. I’ve even set several VPNs on this Macbook and still. All the virtual call centre jobs want you IN the US for some reason and they have ultra-sensitive “location of computer detection” software, apparently. To weed out anyone who has gone TO another country, apparently.

In reply to Ghanashyam.

Hello. Data entry jobs from home are few and far between. And often the ones that are hiring pay very, very low wages. Many companies will only hire candidates residing in specific states. If you live outside of these states, you will automatically be disqualified as an applicant.

It may be a good idea to start searching for transcription jobs instead of data entry. Transcription takes a good bit of talent, but can lead to full-time wages from home. You can even use freelance sites like Upwork to find work.

Good luck!

Happily,

Ashlee

Well I have been searching for job which can be done from home like typing or data entry, but it is hard to find and haven’t found any yet. How can I find a legitimate one? Though I have applied to many but not reponded.

I’m looking for a work at home job but, I do have some experience working in Call Centers already. I’m just tired of being on someone else’s time and I want to get back into school.
