Here are the Ten Top Tips for Homeworkers:

1. Becoming a home worker is something to be planned rather than a simple reaction to problems like debt

2. You shouldn’t pay to do homeworking, eg craft assembly. It is usually a scam.

3. Get rich quick schemes do not work.

4. Homeworkers work very hard and you should expect to as well.

5. If you are a new mother do not overload yourself. Small children and work do not mix very well – and you work hard enough as it is!

6. It takes some time to secure a steady income as a homeworker.

7. Piece work and other such work can be found (from companies local to you) but they are usually badly paid.

8. Most successful homeworkers create their own work, based on their interest or skills.

9. Do your homework first before trying to become a homeworker! Check out what regulations there are concerning your chosen field of work and whether there is a market for your work.

10. When the going gets tough setting up as a homeworker, remember that it will eventually be an extremely convenient and satisfying way to work!
