问题     Almost all types of jobs can be done from the home from freelance(自由作家的)writing,  transcription(誉写)to customer service and sales. Because of the growth and the lowering costs of  communication devices and media, you no longer need to be strapped to the office desk 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to do a phenomenal(杰出的)job and when done correctly the set-up is mutually beneficial  for both the worker and his employer or contractor.
    For the employer, it means lower head costs and the added bonus of not having to deal with the employee personally every day. Often, when projects and jobs are outsourced to individuals who are under self-employed status, the employer no longer has to pay for the Internet use, electricity and even a lot of Human Resource functions.
    For the employee, it means keeping a personalized, flexible time and having more time to do other things. This means that depending on the workload, a free lancer may opt to work full days or shorter. Or he can choose to work at a time that is most convenient for him. It means being able to structure one’s work life to maintain the best work life-home life balance possible. Some freelance jobs also allow the worker to work anywhere in the world he chooses. Freelance writers have the opportunity to work from home or even in a sunny resort while on vacation. Laptops are great tools and since there is practically Internet connection available worldwide, you can send in your work even if your contact is halfway around the world. It also means not having to deal with office politics and emotionally draining colleagues and bosses.
    Of course there are also downsides to working at home. First there are a lot of distractions when working at home. Sometimes, it’s easy to prioritize other things aside from work that may leave you becoming a lot less productive. It is best to set up a home office and maintain a regular time for work so people will learn not to disturb you. You may also choose to get a dedicated phone line and Internet for your work so that you can focus on work and not have to entertain personal phone calls while working. Self-employment also requires a lot of serf-discipline since you have to maintain your own work schedule and work at your own pace without anyone pushing you.
