Observations of a home business newbie....

The differences between a 'work at home' job and an 'online home business' do get rather blurred.  Work From Home Job Vs Online Home Business Essentially a 'job', regardless of whether it's online or in a physical workplace, involves providing a service or doing some work for an employer and getting paid directly for performing that service or doing that work.   Many companies have resorted to providing their employees with work at home opportunities during the Covid 19 pandemic.   It's my bet that a fair percentage of these arrangements will remain long after Covid has gone.   This is a ' work at home' job . If you're providing a service / doing the work from home and you are not directly employed by one single employer you can certainly turn it into a service related home business. A resume writing or creative writing service is a good example of this type of home business. An online home business is basically an internet versio...

In today's economy a lot of people have started looking for alternative ways to secure their future. No one really knows for sure what the future of the job market is going to be either in terms of available jobs OR types of job opportunities.

FACT - if you are new to the online home business world or haven't yet been very successful then, unless you are one of those fortunate people who instinctively 'know' how to make it all work (or you're independently wealthy), you are going to need a primary income source to pay the bills until your online business venture is making enough for you to live on.  For many, this primary income is a job of some sort.  If you're fortunate, it will also be an online one which allows you to work from home.
