The Pros to Working From Home for Leapforce

As you can tell from my Leapforce review, I love working from home!  As with all things there's pros and cons to working from home but I have to say there are many more benefits than drawbacks.  

1. No Babysitters and No Daycare - Staying home with the kids is important to me but it's not easy to live on a one income household.  Leapforce is flexible and I make my own hours.  I can choose how much or little I want to work.  This is perfect for my family!  This means I can be there for my kids and don't have to use all of my paycheck to pay for child care.  It's just not economical to work and then have to pay for childcare.
2. No Commute and No Gas - Gas is expensive!  Working from home means no paying for gas to commute to work and having no commute means more time to either spend working or spend doing other things.
3. Every Day is Casual Day - Getting up in the morning and working in your PJs is fabulous!  This doesn't mean it's okay to go to the store in your PJs or not shower, but it's awfully nice not having to get up and immediately have to shower and get dressed up.
4. No Guilt Sick Days -  Nobody can completely control getting sick or having sick kids, but that doesn't mean that your boss will be understanding.  Working from home means you don't have to worry about taking too many sick days and upsetting your employer.  If your kids are sick, you don't have to feel guilty about staying home with them.  Another bonus is depending on how ill you or your kids are, you very likely may be able to get some work done.  Just stay in your PJs and work from bed if you feel up to it.  No guilt, no stress, just take care of what you need to without worrying about upsetting your boss!
5. Vacation on Your Own Schedule - Life can't be all about work.  Everyone needs to find time for fun!  Working for Leapforce has allowed me to take time off without having to arrange it around anyone Else's schedule.  Not only does this include vacation time, but also time for scheduling doctors appointments, dentist appointments and other unavoidable appointments.
6. Volunteer at School - Working at a regular job often means missing out on volunteering at your child's school or going to their school events such as holiday parties and field trips.  Since I set my own schedule for Leapforce, I'm don't have to miss out on these important memory making moments with my kids.  
7.  Summertime Means No School - Unless you're a teacher, if you work away from home, the summer months means finding childcare for your school aged kids or letting teenagers fend for themselves while you're at work.  Studies have shown that kids and teens who's parents are involved and present are less likely to get bored and get into trouble.  Being able to stay home is priceless!
8. Control Your Paycheck - One of the greatest things about working for Leapforce is that you have the ability to control your own paycheck.  What I mean by this is if you decide you need to increase your paycheck, you can work as many hours as you want so you can do this.  If you want to work 80 hours per week, you can and on the flip side, if you want to take it easy and only work a few hours per week, you can do this.  The flexibility is one of the most attractive things about working for Leapforce.

Leapforce is not a pyramid type business where you have to recruit other people in order to make money.  Leapforce pays an hourly wage for the work you do.  If you're at all interested in applying for a position with Leapforce, feel free to click on the link below and good luck!!!

Why Working at Home ROCKS!

by Brandie Kajino Topic: Home Business

I'll bet you've heard the news. Our current economy is really putting a damper on our country's chipper go-get-'em attitude.

You can relate?

Ok then. It can make the entrepreneur-minded think seriously about running their own business and calling the shots. If you’ve been pondering the idea of writing your own ticket and working from home, allow me to give you some compelling reasons why you’d want to start executing on that idea.

Can’t Beat the Location

If you’re longing for something outside the normal 9-5, working at home is a great option. You can choose when and where you work. That can mean working from a home office, a local coffee shop or even the beach. Gorgeous weather outside? Take a conference call outside in the sunshine.
If you have a laptop and cell phone, your options are endless.
If you’re more of a social animal, part-time co-working might also be a great environment for you.

Changing with the Seasons of Life

So you’ve got kids and you want to be there for them and spend more time with them? No problem. Working at home affords you that opportunity. You can make a living around your life, and as your life changes, so does the flow of how you work. Little children grow up in a few years, and as they do you can adjust accordingly. When you move, taking your home business with you is pretty simple. Put it in a box, and move it with everything else.

Flexible Schedule

Sickness is an issue if you are working in an outside office. The swine flu pandemic did not do anything to assuage this.
Working from home allows you to take time to take care of yourself year-round.
If you are in a situation where you frequently find yourself not feeling well, or if you are responsible for caring for another, working from home offers you an environment to take care of yourself and others more properly than if you needed to balance life at an office.
Working from home gives you control over your schedule. Rearrange your schedule or put in some extra hours ahead of time for: children’s activities like swimming lessons, a school play or volunteering at school. You can also go to doctor’s appointments or other little errands when it’s convenient for you.

You Can’t Beat the Write-offs

Working from home has some really great tax advantages, as well. Generally, if you use a room in your home exclusively for business, you can write off expenses for that room.
Very cool!
You can also write off certain mileage to and from your home office. Be sure to keep copious records. (Be sure to talk with you accountant and/or read up about this on the irs.gov website to make sure you’re coloring within the lines.)

Uniform = Whatever You Want It to Be

Forget suits and an expensive wardrobe. Wear what you want!
Personally, I’m not advocating wearing your pajamas everyday, but you definitely have some flexibility in this area. Like to wear jeans? Me too. So wear them, along with some flip flops.
That being said, don’t trash your entire working wardrobe. If you need to meet with clients or do some speaking, save some things you can get dolled up in.

You Can’t Beat the Service or the Food

Make your own latte or a fab lunch. No more worries about beating the clock to get back to your desk. You’re the chef—make what you want, when you want. You can even pop over to the local farmer’s market for some local fare. Yum!

Tips for the Work at Home Mom

Working from home is wonderful but let's face it...it's not always the perfect scenario you envisioned it would be! There's still kids to be fed, babies to be changed, laundry to be done and a house that never seems to be clean. Oh the joys of being Super Mom!

So how do you work from home, be mom and keep your sanity? I've written some tips of things that I've learned along the way that have helped me do just that.

1. Let yourself off the hook! What do I meant by this? You are human and are not perfect! As moms, we tend to think we need to do it all and we are quite good at multitasking, but it's okay if you just can't get all the laundry done and have the house looking perfect all the time. Stop feeling guilty, do what you can, and realize that on working days your number one priorities are work and kids.

2. You're out of milk, the kids are saying there's nothing to eat and you have nothing to make for dinner...time for a grocery run, but you still need to get your hours in...now what? The days I have to run errands and work are the days I make a quick simple dinner. Pick up a frozen lasagna and throw together a salad or make it a pizza night! Simplify things for yourself on days where you have extra things to do.

3. Laundry and housework are never ending but doing these things don't pay the bills. Save the cleaning and laundering for the weekend. Devoting working days to working will help you keep your sanity. Have the older kids help with these chores. It's a good way to teach kids about working together as a family and the importance of pitching in.

4. When the kids are fighting and the baby's crying take a break! Know when to say when. There's no way to work non-stop when you've got children so take breaks and just be mom. Take some time to go outside, take a walk, play a game or watch some t.v. together. The kids will be happier for it and so will you!

5. Get moving! Ever noticed that sitting at the computer all day does not do wonders for getting into your favorite pair of skinny jeans? You still need to take care of you so take a break at some point during the day and go for a walk with the kids or pop in a Yoga video. Taking care of yourself will ensure that you can take care of your family. You'll feel less stressed, have more energy and just feel better.

Working at home for Leapforce has been incredibly rewarding and keeping these tips in mind have helped me tremendously!

Leapforce Review - Work From Home

 

Work from the Comfort of Your Home with Leapforce

There are many people interested in finding out about Leapforce and the legitimacy of this work from home company.  Searching for reviews on Leapforce often result in a handful of negative reviews from disgruntled, former employees who give a less than desirable impression and that leads to confusion and skepticism.  I'd like to give my review of Leapforce and working from home because quite frankly--I love it!.

What's it About?

In a nutshell, Leapforce provides services to search engines that will bring the best search engine results possible.  Leapforce hires educated individuals who are interested in working a flexible, self-made schedule evaluating search engines.  Employees need to be well-organized and efficient in managing time--no different than any employer desires to find in their work-force.  In order to work for Leapforce, you need to submit your resume and if they are interested, Leapforce requires you to take an entrance exam to find out if the job is a right fit for you.  Of course, you are not paid for the time this takes.  The time spent training is not paid; however, in my opinion, this is well worth it in order to have a job with the flexibility and pay that this provides.  I view it like going to college before you begin your career only you're talking a couple of hours instead of years!

Once hired, you will receive an email with your contract and other information that will need to be signed electronically.  Contracts are renewed every 6 months.  After this is taken care of, you can begin working.  You will be assigned various tasks rating the quality of webpages and sites online, as well as evaluating the quality of search engines.  You can work as much or as little as you'd like and track your time accordingly.  Some projects require extra testing to make sure you are a good fit for the tasks.  Leapforce assigns all tasks an "Estimated Amount of Time" that each task will take and this is what you aim for while working.  While at times the tasks are tedious to the point you want to pull your hair out, other times it can be quite interesting and fun.  It is work...after all...it can't be all fun!  Leapforce does expect you to maintain high quality work.  To do this you need to review the guidelines, do your research, ask questions--everything any other employer would expect.  People have been let go for low quality work (quite often the people who post negative reviews online), but this too is no different from a regular employer. 

How do I get Paid?

While working for Leapforce, employees track their time by using the online invoice.  Leapforce pays employees monthly so at the end of the month, you simply submit your invoice and then once approved, your pay check is paid via direct deposit.  (Although this makes some people nervous, it really is the most convenient way to get paid!)

If it's so Great, Why the Negative Reviews from Some People?

Unrealistic expectations....
This is a real job with real work and real pay so you do have to put time and effort into what you're doing, if you want to stick around.  Quite often, the negative feedback is coming from former employees who didn't like having to put time into learning the job by reading guidelines and putting effort into improving quality.  I've also seen people complain because the job requires "to the minute tracking."  Yes, you only get paid for the time you work!  Certainly this job isn't right for everyone, but having realistic expectations going into it will make a difference.  Lastly, work from home scams have given the industry a bad rap.  People are understandably cautious when it comes to this but Leapforce truly is a good company that upholds high standards.

Is it Worth It?

The answer is YES!  I couldn't be happier being able to work from home and make my own schedule.  Being able to work from home and not having to put the kids in daycare is priceless.  As with all new jobs, there are challenges with learning how things work and becoming familiar with how to do your job, but with patience and high standards this isn't difficult.  If you'd like a good paying job where you can work from home and set your own schedule, Leapforce may be just what you're looking for!
