What equipment do you need to start working from home?
March 10, 2008
Not much. You can get started with nothing more than a computer and an Internet connection.
Some jobs require you have a land line phone for making and taking calls, setting up appts, etc. Some jobs require you have specific types of programs or software to use with their position, If you don’t already have these and can’t afford them right now – pass those jobs up, there are thousands more you can do.
What you’ll need depends on the job you choose and since there are so many jobs to choose from, pick the ones that fit what you already have to work with. Then move up to a land line phone, more software programs, etc. if you want and when you’ve made some money that you can reinvest into your business.
I started with a computer, an Internet connection and a printer. I eventually got some transcription equipment from eBay when I was in my transcription phase but other than adding software programs to my arsenal along the way, I haven’t really added much more to my office – haven’t needed to!
Don’t ever think you can’t work online from home because you don’t have this or that. There is something for everyone no matter what you do or don’t have.
