It’s no wonder the idea of earning a comfortable living while staying at home appeals to millions of people, and for almost as many reasons. With the costs of child care, transportation and other expenses that arise from simply having a job, some are finding that it can be lucrative to establish a business from home, saving money at the same time.

But what really is involved with working from home, and can money actually be made without spending a fortune in start-up costs? Here are a few helpful tips and ideas to consider on your road to making money working from home.

First, in order to be sensible, one must explore the realities of working from home such as; do you have the discipline it takes to be profitable? To many of us the thought of having no boss looming over our shoulders or barking orders at us to be highly enticing. Alternately, make sure you find ways to stay motivated and remember the importance of being focused and success-driven.

Once you’ve established that you mean business, so to speak, and are determined to succeed, you must decide if you haven’t already what it is you’re going to do to make money. With the advent of the internet and a myriad of technological advances, it really is possible to stay at home and earn an income in a variety of fields.

Some of the most popular legitimate home-based businesses that can be quite prosperous are ones that you can do right from your home computer. With a decent internet connection and a PC that has a good word processing or graphics program you can earn money in a number of ways. Have you always been told you have a flair for words? Then consider a career in writing or some aspect of the world of journalism. There are a multitude of writing and proofreading jobs available for those who know their way around subjects and predicates. Use a search engine to look for freelance writing or editing and proofreading jobs and be prepared to spend some time in front of your computer.

Maybe you have experience in medical terminology or are an excellent typist? In that case there are hundreds of companies that hire transcriptionists to work from home, and not only in the medical field either. Some hire people to do telemarketing or internet marketing from home in which case you could put your savvy sales skills to good use. And there are those who even hire administrative assistants and look for secretarial services from people working from home.

If graphic design is your forte, perhaps you can start a web design service and create web pages for internet sites. Millions of companies are constantly in need of updated logos, business cards, letterhead and brochures. Not to mention the need for professionally done flyers, press releases and business letters.

There are also several other types of profitable home-based businesses that are enhanced by the internet and technology. Consider a wedding consulting service with your own web page detailing what you offer. There are careers to be had in the real estate and insurance industries along with tutoring services and even in the world of photography or music. Or maybe you’ve always had a special love for animals and want to try your hand at starting a pet sitting service?

Whatever it is that you are talented or skilled at, there’s always a way to make money doing it from home. With a lot of research and a little common sense, you can easily earn a healthy living and become your own boss.

Holding onto your first job while trying out your new business part-time, and also building clientele in the process, is an excellent idea, especially if you’re leery of a complete transition right away. This gives you the opportunity to explore several options if needed before deciding on what’s exactly right for you.

Hey everyone,

I’m getting married the end of may. I want my ceremony to be outside and my reception inside. or should I also have it outside??

the theme of my wedding is EXTREMELY ROMANTIC. I want everything to be ultra romantic and candle-lite ect.
So I am just looking for cheap and creative ideas. my budget is $10,000 for the ceremony and reception- but the more money we save the better honeymoon we get so we are both trying to save every penny we can.

thank you soo much for any tips/ ideas/ advice/ do & don’t it’s VERY helpful!!!

:-)

1. print the invitations yourselves. There are kits from Michael’s (or any craft store), Wal-Mart and Target available that are beautiful and easily customized.

2. Find a venue that does not require a ton of decorating. Places with naturally beautiful views, murals, colors, etc. will save you from having to buy strings of lights, fake flowers, etc.

I would also suggest having an indoor reception. Think all that food mixed with weather issues (wind, sun, rain, etc.) and bugs and noise and all sorts of other things. Plus a cheap way of decorating is to get big boxes of small candles- easier done indoors.

3. Limit yourself. The smaller the wedding, the less you pay.Don’t go crazy inviting every friend & co-worker.

The less booze (open bar as opposed to say, beer and wine), the better. Limit your menu - and your appetizers, if you are having a full dinner.

*we had dinner “family style” meaning that large platters of food were placed on the tables in place of individually plated meals. Saved on money with the caterer and we didn’t have to do center pieces!!

4. Choose flowers in season, or use silks- a bonus on silks is that you can make them ahead (very easily done).
charitablean save money on favors by either making a chairtable donation (then putting out carcharityng a donation has been made in their honor to chairty of your choice) or perhaps skipping them altogether.

**If you haven’t already, sit down with the families and ask if they are helping at all, and how. Some may want to help in a specific area, while others may want to contribute a given amount. It’s good to know your budget ahead of time.

Don’t buy little things here & there, unless you really know you want them. Otherwise you’ll end up with bags full of crafts in your wedding colors!

Good luck & Congrats!

So me and my fiance have eventually set a date for our wedding, may 2010. Found it difficult to decide on where to be married as everywhere is sooo expensive! Eventually decided on a place called Piperdam (www.piperdam.com) the first venue we agreed on. We paid the deposit to make the booking but since then i cant help looking at other venues and thinking they look better!! I had originally wanted my dream wedding of a castle in scotland, beautiful gardens, exclusive use, but we dont and our parents dont have £20k to have such a grand day. Piperdam is still gonna cost us too, its not cheap but is very picturesque like i wanted. I want my guests to be like “wow”, im a bit of a show off and want to impress. Part of me is being realistic and is just excited about being married to the person i love and not care where it is but then the “cinderella” part of me is wanting the wow factor.
Also if any one can give me some money saving tips for weddings would be grateful!

I am getting a wedding cake from marks and spencer and decorating it myself (£150 max)
Hiring a part time photographer who is keen to build up his portfolio (£600 for full day from getting ready to first dance) I was originally quoted £2k from another photographer
Found a piper online who plays for free for sheer enjoyment, just pay travel expenses and a few cokes.
Not having wedding cars, gonna borrow a friends fancy car and have ribbon on it.
Making my own invitations, brother in law is designing them, father in law does calligraphy.
Using silk flowers for bridesmaids as you can pick them up quite cheap on ebay.
Friend who is makeup artist and hair stylist is doing my hair and makeup on day.
Getting my designer wedding dress made by milly bridal for £200 quid than pay for original at £1200.
Having favours, miniture jackdaniels £1 each and sweets for girls
Having a friend DJ at night (hopefully)
Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance xx

Piperam looks lovely for a wedding. Sounds like you are doing great budget wise cutting where you can.

we wanna get marry in spring with just close family members (around 10)…we need to get accommodation for all of them (as they’re coming from aboard) and any tips for venues?

Heres a few tips i used to save some $ on my wedding.
* Have a friend you trust take pictures!
* Have a family member video tape the ceremony!
* Make your own favors! There are lots of ideas out there!
* Visit bulk stores ( like Costco and Sam’s Club) to get deals on Flowers, cakes and wine! That’s what i did! Most of those places will work with you too!
* Spend money on whats most important to you! Make a list numbered 1-10 of things you want..and spend a little more on 1-5 and less on 6-10!
* Put cards on tables with an email address, so guest can send pictures they take to you!
* Skip chair covers! (as long as the chairs are in decent shape) i did! and no one noticed that i didn’t have them!
