There are multiple ways you can earn money working from home


1)      web design, wordpress, joomla, drupal, etc

2)      graphic design ( photoshop, fireworks, logo design )

3)      flash design ( slideshow )

4)      animation design

5)      articles writing / spinning

6)      search engine optimization / marketing

7)      social media marketing

8)      link building

9)      directory submissions

10)     virtual assistant

11)     forum posting

12)     starting your own website/blog and monetizing it


and I haven’t even scratched the surface of ways in which you can make money working in your pajams.

Where to start?

I’d say start by registering at sites like www.getafreelancer.com, www.guru.com, www.elance.com, www.rentacoder.com – observe the various caterories. Observe what kinda projects get posted.

Assess your skills. Learn basics of programming ( it's NOT hard like it sounds ) from www.w3schools.com . Lot of folks are willing to guide on forums like digitalpoint, sitepoint, warriorforums, cre8site, webmasterworld, seochat, etc provided you show initiative, politeness and ask specific questions after taking at least some effort to search the archives.

Forget about crap like data entry. That’s ridiculous exploitation.

Is it easy? Not at all. It took me good 2 years and I still learn every single day. But take my word: you will comfortably earn very good money if you learn your skills well..

I know cuz’ I do. I work for myself, choose my own clients, my work hours, my charges and I won’t have it any other way !

--------------------

You could try online share trading. Numerous site are avialable that could help you with the basic of this. eg, www.moneycontrol.com,  http://www.nse-india.com/ etc
Some sites like www.rediff.com , www.moneycontrol.com offers virtual trading for free. You could try them without any bills and see if you can make money. These sites are based on real time stock index of variouls markets like BSE or Nifty.

How about CCNA and other related certifications? Is the job of a CCNA
identified for a wheelchair user. Also if you have any suggestions
please to guide me, which would be greatly appreciated. Bye


------------------

 

As long as you have fire and passion in your belly you can do any job in the world.
 
Bottomline is that you need to break free of the thought that you are a victim in your head.
 
CCNA/RHCP course is ok and may be good for professionals who are
willing to venture completely on the networking side. But in my opinion
you could probably start with Software Development and gradually make
way for the exact field you like.
 
Other than this going for higher studies like an MBA would be a
lucarative option , provided you crack the competion and make your way
through.
 
So the conclusion is that you need to sit with your eyes closed
and make a solid decision of what you want to become .. Then become the
GUY you saw.

Let me add one more,
http://www.tutorvista.com/ 
I recently met a person who is disabled (not SCI) and she has been working from home for them for the last 2 years, and ofcourse earning a good money. She told me that they have their own software and a digital drawing pad to teach and sometimes use skype. You can apply online, and they conduct an online interview and if you are selected you will be given online training. She gives two sessions, one from 4 in the moring, and then another session at 6 in the evening.

This is from the website.
"TutorVista provides Online Tutoring, Homework Help, Test Prep for K-12 and College students.. The students are mostly of US and UK.
Requirements
Be a post graduate in your subject.
You need to have a computer and a Broadband connection.

This one is genuine, here is the wikipedia article about tutorvista

The top 5 micro outsourcing sites in USA & UK are:
Elance.com, Odesk.com, Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Peopleperhour.com

There are plenty of small projects available even to non-techie people ( example, articles writing, articles rewriting, surveys, accounting work, virtual assistant, telemarketing, etc )

99% of the work on the above sites is genuine so go for it.
