Work from home

[Shelley08]

Does anyone know of any decent work from home companies. I’ve applied for sensee but they have said I was unsuccessful. Any recommendations would be great. I’m not here looking for a lecture so pls don’t give me one.

What sort of work are you looking for?

Insurance companies.

Council call centre / customer service.

Domestic & General does sales contact centre type work from home.
They provide the equipment, induction and perm jobs but there are targets involved.

Lots of charities do wfh admin roles, however even with wfh you do still often need to be available for the office. If you’re Birmingham based, the charity I work for is often recruiting for data/it etc type roles. I’m happy to share this via dm if you are interested

Hi Shelley,

We need someone to take over from me, as working with DH is literally ruining our marriage. I will definitely advise my children against ever working with their future partners.

Anyway, the work involves

1. sales (booking and running system demos, following up),
2. marketing (writing website content, SEO articles, marketing posts for social media, announcement emails to existing customers and sending cold emails),
3. planning to attend some industry events as an exhibitor (2-3 a year), where you'd have to be there for the day and talk to the attendees,
4. customer service by phone/email - answering system related questions, running training sessions for 1-10 people, liaising with users and IT re any issues,
5. system testing before a new feature is released,
6. general admin (registering any bugs and system improvement ideas, dealing with the accountant and doing VAT returns)

The best bit? The company doesn't make enough yet to pay wages, but you could get a big chunk in shareholding, so if you're successful in selling the system, you can make a lot of money.

Well, this is the reality of how businesses start at a kitchen table and then grow. It's your baby, you sacrifice for it, you wear a 100 different hats and do whatever is needed.

The problem is that I'm not a sales/marketing/IT person, so I basically hate my role in it. All of it can be done from home, work around school drop-off/pick-up times (ok, maybe not the 2-3 days per year when attending an event).

I'm not here for a lecture either about being delusional re how anyone might work for free (maybe £500 pm could be managed currently), but I've just had a pretty bad day, so I just put it out there.

If anyone is interested, great, if not, fair enough.

All four of us work from home here, me, DH, our adult DDs. I work in media, so does DH. The DDs both work for charities. We all work very fixed hours, so you can’t take half an hour off to do the school run or whatever and finish later. What skills or experience do you have?

@Boymum1986 would you mind sending me the details too?

And me please @Boymum1986

@Boymum1986 Please can you send me the details as well?
Many thanks :)

Is this a god awful pyramid scheme recruiting thread?

Not hard to spot the MLMs, is it? Never say what it is, and it's all "message me hun".

Reported.

So what is the latest pyramid scheme doing the rounds? Younique? Doterra? That ridiculous travel agent one? Is Forever Living still alive and kicking?

You should be ashamed of yourself.
