Creating income from the comfort of your living room is a simple matter of self discipline, a computer and dedication. The Internet offers numerous careers for those who can't leave their home or would rather not waste gas money leaving the house to work. It's time to give up the road commute and embrace the telecommute. Look below for several Internet-based ways to create extra income from your home.

From Quick Guide: Work from Home
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Blog for cash, profit sharing or ad revenue. Blogging or online journaling with a focus is a great way to earn money online. Check online for blogger jobs and topics that would suit your needs and offer the type of payment you would prefer.

  2. Step 2

    Copy write for the Internet or writing businesses that operate online. There are several large writing pools that create copy for the world wide web. Go to online writer job sites for those offering a reasonable price for your work.

  3. Step 3

    Choose online medical billing and transcription work if you have a background in the medical field. Internet transcription companies expect you to have your own equipment and a strong background in the specific field. This is a lucrative position if you are qualified.

  4. Step 4

    Put your computer skills to work by going into website development. Every day online businesses are looking for people to help create, update and maintain their company websites. If you have a background in this area, there will be a steady flow of work available to you.

  5. Step 5

    Edit and proofread college papers and educational literature on a piece work basis. There are lots of students and teachers looking for a little assistance with creating polished papers and textbooks. This is a great idea for anyone with an English degree.

  6. Step 6

    Turn your home phone into a customer service line 8 hours a day. It is cheaper for companies to outsource sales and service calls to home-based employees to keep overhead low. This is usually an hourly or commission-based position but one requiring very little experience or higher education.

  7. Step 7

    Conduct research for companies, websites and social networking sites. Collecting information on the web, whether for market research or competitive marketing, is a sure moneymaker. As the web changes by the second, keeping a business up to date on the very latest happenings from the comfort of your couch is another way to create extra income from your home.
