RuralEx is a new telecommunications service provider based in Saskatoon Canada.
As you can read in this article about RuralEx the company’s purpose, in part, is to provide home based call center jobs in this rural section of Canada. Here’s how the owner describes what’s going on:
Weber is planning to tap into a somewhat forgotten workforce […]

As usual, by mentioning a franchise or business opportunity, you are cautioned to do your own DUE DILIGENCE before purchasing or investing. OK? I saw this franchise mentioned as having 60 home based franchisees and wanted to mention it to you.
Currently Friendly Computers has 60 home based franchisees. Long term they want to be […]

How do recessions effect home businesses?
Whether you believe one is likely or whether you believe that - at least personally - you’ve already been in one, it pays to think this through.
Many times recessions START home businesses… people need a side income, people get laid off and need some income, or people get “downsized” and […]

This was at Web Worker Daily…
Using full screen view, increasing the text size, and taking frequent breaks - among other suggestions - are recommended.

In a related article to the one about $100 Laptops,  Microsoft is feeling the heat of technological change too.
The Asus EEPC  is one of the new breed of stripped down laptops that are flash based using the same type of memory as, say, a digital Mp3 recorder.
There’s just one problem, Microsoft has been building Windows […]

LiveOps is on a roll and picking up more “blue chip” clients they say. In other words, they’re getting more “mainstream” companies and, I suppose, not just being considered a call center to handle “infomercial” traffic.
That’s good for people who want to work from home, but note the statistics… 3500 people are applying weekly. They […]

I met a home based cosmetologist the other day with an unusual extra profit center, an Aqua Detox machine.
In addition to the haircuts, perms, shampoos and conditioners and the normal products and services for sale in the cosmetology salon attached to her house is a unique machine.
This Aqua Detox machine “detoxes” your body.  I’m normally […]

Personally I think refund anticipation loans are rip offs. I know some home based and small tax preparers for whom they are a significant part of their business. The reason?
