Is Telecommuting on the Rise?

Although I typically post about home businesses, telecommuters can also be work-at-home moms (WAHMs).worker.JPG

Over at HomeBizBlogger.com there is an interesting post on telecommuting, Everything you ever wanted to know about telecommuting! The author defines telecommuting, describes how it is easier to find a telecommuting position now than it used to be, and provides some tips for telecommuters.

I have to say that I agree that it is getting easier to find a telecommuting position. Even in my circle of acquaintances I am meeting people, full-time employees of companies, who now have the option to work from home either full-time, or part-time. Many of these same companies would not have considered allowing employees to work from home five or ten years ago. For some workers, telecommuting may be a better alternative than starting a home business. Here are several advantages to telecommuting:
  1. Employee-status. For full-time workers, this can mean benefits such as insurance, paid vacation, and paid sick days.

  2. Job stability. While the home business owners must constantly market their services and products to stay working, the telecommuter is assigned products directly through their company.

  3. Consistent income flow. For many home businesses, it is feast or famine. They may have more orders than they can handle one month, only to be faced with a lull in business the following month.
Have you been considering leaving your day job to become a WAHM? If you enjoy the work and feel comfortable with your employer, you may want to consider asking if your position can be converted to a telecommuting position instead.

What about you? Do you telecommute, or own your business? Which do you think that you would prefer?
