How to Make Money at Home

Let’s get two critical points out of the way first. It is next to impossible to earn, even a penny, on most, if not all, work at home scams (the ones you get in your email) and it takes high energy to succeed in most business endeavors. This means if you are looking for an easy way to earn money you will not read about it here.

From a financial standpoint home and business type services are the best place to start looking when considering a home based business. This is because the service industry normally requires less investment and can often be managed by one individual. For example if you’re a trained accountant or a trained hair dresser it is relatively easy to work from home and/or your car; and cell phones are an ideal technology whereby you can be constantly connected.

If you are doubtful about the viability of home based services please think again. There are literally millions of skilled Americans earning a living from their homes. The key word here is “skilled.” Providing you are a professional in your type of services you may be surprised how easy it is to earn a good income.

Licensing

In most communities, home based business licensing is a simple process. I suggest you contact whoever is responsible for business licensing in your community and request an information packet, if they have one, or an explanation of what you must do to be properly licensed in your community.

Avoid Water Damage Today

It’s an ugly beast capable of growing from a minor puddle to a major catastrophe. While water is pooling unbeknown-st to you, it is also causing damage.

Inspecting your home.

Since hidden water damage can quickly make itself known by becoming progressively worse and spawning mold growth, it’s wise to seek it out before it has a chance to become a problem. Go through your house, basement, garage, and other structures specifically seeking out the H2O damage, moisture, and mold. Keep your eye out for water leaks and drips, sniff for musty odors, and listen for sounds of running or dripping water.

Repairing those leaks.

If you find any issues, immediately repair them. A small investment now could save you thousands of dollars later. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to solve the problem on your own. A quick trip to the hardware supply store and a little elbow grease may be all that’s needed. Even if you need to hire a plumber, fixing a pipe before it bursts is much less expensive and far less damaging than waiting for the pipe to spew gallon after gallon of water into your home.

Locating your water shut-off valves.

Do you know how to shut of the water should something go wrong? Can you do it quickly? Just as you should hold fire drills, so should you hold water damage drills! Learn where your water valves are located as well as how to shut them off. If a pipe does burst, the sooner you can shut off the water, the less water will flow into your home.
