Concierge Services a Growing Work from Home FieldMany people desire the freedom of a work at home position. Wouldnt you just love to leave your horrid day job behind and tell your boss what you really think? Contrary to the many warnings about work at home scams, it is possible to earn a living from within the comforts of your own house. Many people earn money doing what they are good at. Some people do clerical work; others do transcription, while others write articles for Internet companies. There are several areas to explore. If none of those really interests you then you may want to look into concierge types of work.
People tend to think of a concierge when they think of exclusive hotels. They are on hand to
help with the needs of the guests. Some are there to greet guests and some will handle specific hotel problems. In general, they are there to provide a service to the hotel and the guests. The job description is quite varied. However, concierge type duties can be turned into lucrative work at home job opportunities.
Have you taken a holiday recently? What did you do about your house? Did someone stay there or did you simply ask a neighbor to look in on things. Many people have gone on vacation only to come home to an empty house. They have either been robbed or vandalized. A possible concierge type business one could create is house sitter. Many people would feel better having someone in their home while they are gone. They can do things like pick up the mail and do routine checks to make sure everything is in order. Houses are much less likely to be broken into as well if there is a person inside. By advertising yourself as a house sitter locally, you may be surprised at the response you get. Once you provide this service for one family, word will spread.
People are always looking for trustworthy employees and services, by house sitting; you can provide this service and make quite a good sum of money for yourself.
Another type of service you can offer along the concierge line is pet sitter. There may be limits as to how many pets at one time you can take on but it still could be quite lucrative. People are very protective of their pets and generally are willing to spend a fair bit of money to insure they are well taken care of when they are away. Boarding kennels tend to be very expensive as well. By offering a good pet sitting service, you may find that you have more business than you can handle. Pets tend to react better to a home environment rather than that of a kennel. If you are able to offer your own home then this could benefit both sides. You can make some money and the pet will be more comfortable.
If youre an animal lover, but dont have the space to offer pet sitting, you may want to try dog walking. Many people have pets but still work during the day. They may feel better knowing that someone is on hand to take their dog out for a walk and play during the day. If you advertise your services in your local paper again, you may be surprised at how busy you suddenly become.
When we think of work from home opportunities, we generally think along the lines of data entry and clerical types of jobs. However, the concierge field is starting to boom. If you are creative and can offer a valuable service, you may find that you have quite a lucrative work from home business. All it takes is some imagination and determination to make it work. |
