How To Make Money While At Home

Sometimes we need to take a break from working in an office for staying at home. It may be due to someone’s illness, kids or other reasons. However, just because you are at home, doesn’t mean you can make money. You can pocket a neat amount of Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 while working from home. It might not be enough to keep the kitchen fire burning but it would certainly be a big help to someone who is trying to keep it burning.

Many kinds of jobs are coming up which allow you to work from home via the internet. These jobs pay well and are part time, which means you do not need to devote more than 3-4 hours in a day to them. You can also decide the time at which you want to work. Depending on your skills, you can take up the different kinds of jobs available.

• Tutoring- There are many websites that offer online tutorials to interested candidates. Students from all over the world sign up for these tutorials in subjects like Calculus, Economics, Accountancy, English etc. Tutors are engaged by these websites.

Tutors working for such concerns get paid around Rs 10,000. Regular assessments of such tutors are conducted and pay scales of tutors are revised.
