Giving yourself a Pay Raise with Extra Income
Extra Income opportunities are basically work-from-home
opportunities that help augment your regular income. Many people
are opting for these work-from-home opportunities for the
following reasons:
1.Most people think they are losing the battle to balance work
and family, time wise and income wise. If they are going to work
12 hours a day outside home and just manage to scrape the bottom
of the vessel for survival, finally coming home to family too
tired to spend any time with them, is it worth the effort?
2. A burning desire to be financially independent and successful
by adding that extra income to their regular income with popular
work-from-home opportunities.
The very fact that these extra income churning work-from-home
opportunities have become popular is due to the above mentioned
factors. These opportunities present a lot of flexibility in
spending time with family and children, social commitments and
of course financial liberation. These extra income generating
opportunities also give you a chance to be your own master and
work your own times.
How to find a suitable extra income generating opportunity? Here
are some dos and don'ts:
1.Analyze yourself and find out what your core competency is.
Marketing, Writing, Programming or anything else that you excel
in.
2.Analyze what your friends and family see in you, what they
praise you for and what they criticize you for. This will help
in narrowing down your options.
3.Try and find out how different or relevant it is to your
regular job or work that you do today.
4.Ask yourself about the job satisfaction that you have today
and you might have if you get a suitable extra income generating
opportunity.
5.Analyze the skills that you possess but have gone unused since
you have been working. Ask yourself, if you would be comfortable
bringing them out to generate that extra income?
After doing the above, research and analyze the opportunities
available by talking to people who already have extra income
coming their way or use the internet to find opportunities that
match your skills. Make a list of opportunities in descending
order of your preference with at least 5 entries.
Get going in a small way, spending about an hour a day. Try it
out before you commit to something.
Analyze if you like doing the work after a period of about 1-2
months and see the extra income you earn. If you think that the
work is suited to you and the work has enough potential to earn
you the extra income that you were targeting for, try to spend
more time and energy on it to increase that extra income. If you
see that you really don't enjoy it, shift the focus to the
second opportunity on the list.
Remember these opportunities are basically work being done for
other professionals and they have to be treated with
professionalism and care. You cannot take them lying back and
expect returns. The only advantage is that you will be doing
what you love to do and get paid handsomely for it.
