subject: 12th In Series: How To Get Paid Taking Surveys And Other Creative Online Jobs [print this page] Working from home is great, but it takes a special person to stay focused and upbeat. You need to have good ideas about how to make money, and a back up plan if your business falls through. I like to work from home as a travel and article writer, but keep accounts open at http://www.getpaidtotry.com/ to get paid for reading emails and taking online surveys in case something falls through. It's better safe than sorry in the freelance world, so a survey job can pay the bills on a slow month. As promised, here is another great job idea to make money working from home:
Become an event organizer or party planner. Party planners get their start by getting the word out that they are available to work and showing examples or ideas for parties. You can do this by creating a website and blog for yourself. Get the word out that you have a website or blob by commenting on it in yahoo answers or other answer sites, commenting on blogs or writing articles about yourself and services and submitting them to article websites. You can also create YouTube videos about party planning tips and link your business in the bottom bar. Birthday parties and wedding receptions are both great ways to get started, so market to those specifically. If you are starting your business close to a major holiday though, try to pull in customers by advertizing your holiday decorating and party abilities. Before your first client meeting, you will need a portfolio full of ideas, images and examples of what you can do. You can begin creating a portfolio by creating place settings and crafts. If you desire, you can take a few of these crafts with you as examples. Take professional quality photos and place them in an album. Make invitation templates and print off a few for your album. You will need to have examples and menus of services for parties. To do this, it will take networking to find caterers, cake makers, discount dcor stores or wholesalers, etc. It's a good idea to write down lists of places you can find props, jugglers, entertainers and more. Keep an organized list of theme ideas for parties in your portfolio. You should also have a very good idea of how many hours it will take you to plan and execute the party and how much your services will cost your customer. You can get free estimates for parties from other party planning services to see how much they charge for similar services.
Keep your eyes peeled for the 13th in the series about How to Get Paid Taking Surveys and Other Creative Online Jobs.
