Having a work from home business using different marketing strategies can generate crazy income figures, but it has its advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages are, you will save cash and your precious time because you wont have to pay for travel to and from work & you wont have to buy or rent a business premises,so no overheads.

Work out how much it costs you to travel to and from work per month (toll road etc), also factor in the fact that if you are using your own personal car, that its actually costing you extra money, then split that over a 12 months period and add that all together, you will be shocked.

Get your family time back and stop being a weekend parent, because normally you would be going to work before the kids even get up and then they are normally in bed when you return. Just imagine the other things you could get done in your spare time.

The tax benefits are great,because you can claim back a piece of your rent or mortgage, heating, lighting telephone and internet. The computer/laptop you use, also the printer etc. You can actually go as far as having your home switched around to improve your working lifestyle.

Flexible working hours as you can pick and choose when you want to work. The amount of money you earn is relevant to how much time and effort you put in, so the more time you can allow to work from home the more the dollars roll in.Its your choice.

Having the comfort of being in your own home rather than at work in the stuffy office, you have complete control over your lunch/tea breaks, the lighting, the decor and heating.

The disadvantages are, always make sure your rent/lease agreement you signed allows you to running a small business from home without any restrictions.

If you are thinking about making changes to your home/business always check with your council if there are any regulations on the property.

You may have to contact your home contents insurance company to check with them to see if you need to upgrade your policy. Maybe public liability and some type of health and pension.

You can get distracted, bored and a head ache from looking at the screen all the time,thats why its important to have a schedule and try to keep to it. I have found,there are many different ways to running a online business that I usually can overcome this.

All up working from home is a decision starting to be made by more and more people everyday. doesnt matter whether its part time or full time it so much easier than having to give up a lot of your time and money to make to try and make a living.
