Office work at home in Australia, does outsourcing work, is there any money in it? How do you find this work?

Question

I am soon to be a Grandmother and wish to work from home, I have many years experience in acct roles. I am not sure where to start and/or go about finding office work from home, prefer local and not overseas.

Answer 1

You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years

Hi Roxy,

I see two potential ways you can go here, and remember this is just my opinion.

1. You can do a web search for "Virtual Assistants in Australia" and scour those results for something which strikes your fancy. You might also want to use the term "telecommuting Australia" to see what you get there. I did a preliminary search for you, and came up with a site full of info about the subject. Note that I am not affiliated with this site, and make no guarantees about the info contained, just wanted to help.

2. You can set yourself up at home as a VA, and offer your services to the local businesses in your community. Again, the web is chocked full of helpful info on setting up a VA home business, just be diligent about investigating any companies and/or claims made by the sites you encounter.

I hope this helps, and don't get discouraged..you can do it!

The best to you,

Dennis

Answer 4

I've been doing some work with www.elance.com the past week, all the work is home based, data entry, transcription etc. The only thing is you're competing against people from countries where the hourly rate of pay is a lot lower, so not sure if it would be worth it for you.

Also have a look at the jobs listed here, most are applicable to us,canada,europe, its quite good, thats where I found the above link.

Its been updated today to include some Craft type jobs which can be done from home, mainly re-distribution, but it possible to make good money from it if you work hard.

So many online jobs are out there. In fact, to do any online job, you need not want to invest anything. Make sure, you dont pay anything to get jobs online. It is just that need to pick the one that suits you the best. I hope this helps you and I believe you will find the online job that you love the most. Thanks
