The simple life

Working from home has long been the dream for most sentient people, with no boss making your life a misery, and no Jim from Accounts hanging around being a leech, you can take back responsibility and control over your career. As well as only working with people you like and respect, i.e. your good self! But how best to go about finding a job that you can do at home? We have gathered together the best sites with jobs that will make you money, as well as giving you a sense of satisfaction.

Firstly, online marketplace eBay offers a fantastic opportunity to make money from your hobbies. For example, if you love collecting vintage clothes, but have a bulging wardrobe and a less than bulging wallet, you can auction your wares online, making potentially thousands. For example, vintage 1950s dresses are currently selling for up to £120. The price for listing is minimal, and you can set the postage rate yourself.

Another excellent wesbite offering advice, jobs and contacts is TalkTalk, which collates all the information you could possibly need to establish yourself as a freelance home worker. Ideas include mystery shopping, market research and (the possibly a little optimistic) inventing your own game-show.

So have a look at these sites, and think about your strengths, skills and passions. You might find that you can make money from something you consider a hobby. Good luck!
