If you’d like to work from home building your own online business, there are many opportunities out there. As you consider how to make money online you’ll need to ponder if you want to strike out on your own with your new and creative idea or product, whether you want to buy someone else’s successful dream, or if you want to buy into a franchise. There are pros and cons for all three choices, and personalities more suited to one than the other. There are also those who yearn to build an online business but can’t afford to take the plunge from secure employment to entrepreneurship. Then there are those that probably can afford it, but just don’t have that risk-taker temperament required to be that far out on the financial limb.

One work from home opportunity which is becoming increasingly more popular and far more in demand from employers than even a few years back, is outsourcing. Many firms, frustrated with the high turnover of call center staff are contracting out their call center headaches. Some of these outsourcing firms they hire are partially or completely staffed by virtual call center agents, people who work from home. Some of these virtual call center agents are employees of the outsourcing firm, while most only hire independent contractors.

If you’re looking for a Web-based business with little upfront investment, clients already on board, solid training and ongoing support, and you have customer service and sales skills and basic troubleshooting capabilities, you might like this work at home opportunity to create and grow your online business. One thing it’s important for a potential work from home netpreneur to understand is that while there are certainly many legitimate virtual call center companies that will help you learn how to make money online you generally won’t get rich. What you will be able to do, however, is dictate the hours you are willing to work from home at this occupation on a week by week basis, with the assurance that you control your wages and have something solid coming in to pay the bills while you build a more lucrative online business or go back to school to prepare for the Web based business of your dreams.
