Being a military wife comes with many challenges that some of our civilian counterparts don't have to worry about. One of those challenges includes being able to supplement income or sustain a career while not only having to pick up and move every three years (or less), but also the added challenge of our spouses being deployed for six or more months. Balancing work, children and military life can all too often be a very difficult set of clubs to juggle. Today, we will take a look at one of the many ways modern technology has made this a little easier for the 21st century military spouse: Telecommuting. So, what exactly is telecommuting? Well, it is working but instead of driving the highway to work, you're taking the information super highway (pardon the unfortunate joke). You work from the comfort of your home and your office usually consists of your computer (and any other miscellaneous equipment required). We're going to examine a few of these possibilities. Call Center: In an effort to avoid outsourcing, many call centers are turning to telecommuters as an attempt to cut overhead costs. These jobs range from technical support, travel agent, customer service, even debt collecting. These jobs usually have a set schedule of hours in which you will have to work and usually strange hours (at least to begin). These can be highly stressful jobs (having worked in a call center myself and a very dear friend of mine currently working in one), but the advantages are that you can take this job anywhere, you often can receive benefits from employers (which you could use to supplement your Tricare benefits), usually these employers require little to no experience/credentials and allows you a manner to still interact with people. Administrative: Like call centers, these jobs generally have set hours that require you to work. The administrative telecommuting jobs out there include: administrative assistants, financial (including accounting and billing), data entry and human resources. These sometimes require credentials and/or experience. However, many programs covered by MyCAA will help you obtain any of these you may need. Teaching: The wave of virtual schools is riding high at the moment. You can go online and find schools geared specifically for homeschooling as well as a plethora of technical, undergraduate and graduate schools out there. Also, you can be a virtual tutor which will give you a little bit more flexibility with your hours but still earn a decent paycheck. You need to have whatever credentials and experience needed for these positions. Generally, many of these schools will allow you to set your own hours (for the most part) and the pay is pretty good. Check out American Military University for an example of one of these online schools. Freelancing: Freelancing is not nearly as easy as it sounds and it takes time. For instance, outside of being Super Mom and the editor-in-chief here at A Frugal Military Family, I am also a professional freelance writer. In order to freelance, you have to also be a good salesperson, as you are selling your abilities as a product. Networking and portfolio padding are key. Don't expect a large payout at first and gladly take volunteer jobs on the side to help pad your portfolio that much more and show diversity. I highly recommend thoroughly investigating the jobs and companies before accepting them. For instance, on the surface, being a greeting card writer seems like a sweet gig... just knock out a couple of cheesy poems and get a good optioning check. However, many of these companies need to test market your poem before publishing it and this could take up to a few years (yes, you read that right) to complete. Good sources to find freelance gigs include: Craig's List, your local newspapers and magazines, Freelancer and any other free ad site. Start Your Own Online Business!: Megan Glynn, co-founder of Zoolu!, is a prime example of how you can be successful at this. Find your niche and if you have a natural knack for business, this is definitely a great way to earn money, have a flexible schedule and still be able to take your job from duty station to duty station with you. Some ideas for these include: blog design, retail, virtual scrapbooking, publishing ebooks (check out Amazon.com's program for self publication), offer some other service or need, etc. Entrepreneurship is a very rewarding experience. But, again, you have to understand business, your clients and may be very time consuming at first. Microtasking: Many sites, like Mechanial Turk offer a forum where you are hired to complete quick and easy tasks for someone in return for pay. These can be anything from categorizing test scores to organizing someone's virtual photo album to being part of a research study. However, these tasks do not pay well for each job completed (usually no more that five cents per completed task), time consuming and can be very mindless. I highly recommend it for pocket change, but not as a source of income. Some other sites for this include:ODesk and Cloud Crowd. Sales Representative: I know many people who have earned a good amount of money doing this. What I mean is that you're the sales representative for companies such as Tupperware, Pampered Chef and Mary Kay. You can have fun parties with your friends, give them a way to buy products they need/want and still earn a little bit of money. Also, I have heard that there are great freebies and samples given to you by the company. However, some of these companies require start up costs (e.g. Tupperware makes you purchase the demonstration pack)so be on the look out for that. Some other companies you might be interested in include: Scentsy, Children's Art Cafe, Thirty One Gifts and Military Handbag (in which 10% of all proceeds go towards supporting our troops and families!). There are many creative ideas out there and the internet has given you a forum to spin them into a way to create a little bit of extra income but still be able to stay home. I recommend staying away from sites that offer to pay you money to take surveys, mystery shop and anything that sounds too good to be true. Chances are, it probably is. Many of these all too often turn out to be scams and/or will litter your inbox with spam while you see little to no return. I also caution not to join anything not Better Business Bureau recommended or requires you to pay any out of pocket fees (exception being that which is listed above). Other than Craig's List, your local ads and Google, I would also recommend scouring legitimately recognized job posting pages such as Monster.com, Career Builder and Yahoo! HotJobs for "telecommuting" or "virtual" listings. Good luck to you and happy job hunting!! |
