Hello All,

I am sure we have come across all sorts of advertisement here and there about being self-employed,working from home given the state of the economy the world over.

The question then is how practicable is this "WORK FROM HOME" strategy. Can people with experience share their experience about how they worked from home,what kind of work they do,how many hours put into work and how much this has supported the family as well as their dreams.


Look forward to a fruitful and interesting discussion.

I am presently working from home and it's easier because commuting to the office on the Island will take a lot.
i also enjoy the freedom.

This will really depend on what you mean by working from home.
Is it a desk-like job where you interface with clients and colleagues through the cloud/internet? Or is it about running your business with your home as your office. In Nigeria, I believe there are a lot of people that do the latter.

As an example. I run a floral services company. We serve end users directly as well as a host of retail florists and free-lancers. Now the bulk of these free lance florists work out of their homes. No offices. They meet their clients either in church or through friends, clubs and referrals. Discussions are done over the phone, at public locations or the client's home/office. Then they come to my garden and purchase the flowers and accessories needed for the job, go ho e and make their designs and flower arrangements there before delivering to the client. Others simply ask me to do the job and deliver to them for onward delivery to the client without even leaving their homes.

Seeing that they make their purchases from me quite regularly with some of them coming 2 to 3 times a week every week, I can only assume the system works for them.

Now is this an example of working from home as you intended? Because I believe this is what most work-from-home Nigerians do.

What's the nature of your job?

How many hours do you work a day?

A rough estimate about how much you make per month?

I put in long hours freelancing as well as posting on my blog.

Can't post details on my earnings here right now.

Sounds exciting!

This is a typical example of working from home...I think this should be encouraged as to my mind it will help reduce human and vehicular movement thereby reducing the man-hour of people who would have to work in offices.

How sustainable do you reckon your business will be? How long have you been in business and how long do you reckon you're going to continue. Do you reckon you might be thinking of expansion if the business continue to grow?Don't you think "working from home" will be jettison when your business grow at an alarmingly speedy rate?
