This book is for the bummed out, burned out, and stressed out professional, stay-at-home parent, or retiring boomer who dreams of a home-based job or business, but doesn’t know how to make that dream a reality.
Unlike the many "change-your-life" books that promise much and deliver little—Undress4Success provides expert, practical advice about: 1) what home-based jobs are available, what talents they require, what they pay, who’s hiring, and how to land one; 2) how to use the Web to search for work-at-home jobs and business opportunities without being scammed; 3) how to turn professional talents into a freelance business; and 4) how to convince an employer to adopt a telecommuting program.
Based on interviews with dozens of employers, home-based employees, successful freelancers, and leading telework researchers, this book shows readers the way home.
Great resource to research work from homeReviewed by Dianne Walker, 2009-07-17
Undress for Success - The Naked Truth about Making Money at Home by
Kate Lister and Tom Harnish is an excellent resource to use when
making that important decision.
Working from home is not as easy or glamorous as it may sound. If
you`re unemployed, Undress for Success will open the door to
discovering the possibilities, pros and cons. A home-based business
is not for the unmotivated, the procrastinator or the easily
distracted. Chapter 3 is entitled "Expose Yourself - Are You Right
for E-Work?" This chapter explores the skills and traits required
to successfully work from home. Not only is it necessary for you to
be focused, but to also have the support of family and friends.
First, is to provide assistance around the house to allow you time
to work on your business. Second, you will need their support in
leaving you alone in order to be able to get your work done.
Remember the cliché "if it sounds too good to be true..." One very
important chapter in the book is devoted to the ever-growing scams
in the marketplace. People will often respond to advertisements
promising hundreds of dollars in income. As a result of these
misleading or false advertisements, you spend more time, effort and
money trying to undo the monetary damage as a result of
participating in these "too good to be true" schemes. According to
the authors, the "ratio of scams to legitimate home-based
opportunities is almost 20 to 1." These odds are exactly why
Undress for Success is the perfect book to help you steer through
the dishonest organizations which exist solely to rip off the
unsuspecting consumer.
Not only does Undress for Success attempt to educate the reader on
the pros and cons of working from home, it also provides
information on various occupations that would do well in a
home-based environment. The book covers various careers including
teaching, becoming a virtual assistant, or a writer. The author has
done a lot of the research on how to go about getting started in
e-work as well as providing the reader with additional
resources.
Working from home is not for everyone. Undress for Success - The
Naked Truth About Making Money at Home is an excellent resource
guide for anyone considering doing freelance work.
Can you make a profit in MLM?Reviewed by Terrie Martinez, 2009-06-23
This book is the best, realistic review of work at home businesses!
As you'll see in Chapter 4, home business can be very rewarding.
Warning for those looking at MLM opportunities though! The promises
of old-school MLM and "life-long" residual income are all but dead
for the average person. Those in MLM fight constant attrition,
downline reps who need constant hand-holding, and in the end you
work your tail off for a few hundred or few thousand dollars.
What wasn't discussed in the book was that of "Top Tier" programs
which offer immediate leveraged income where one can make $10,000
with just 10 customers or less. This is an honest home business
earning opportunity where one can truly replace their corporate
salary quickly.
One common objection to Top Tier programs is the start-up costs are
"too high". Actually, they are much less expensive than a
traditional supplement based MLM. The average start-up cost and
monthly auto-ship order for a traditional MLM is about $200. That
comes out to $2,500+ a year when you factor in taxes and
shipping.
A Top Tier program is usually a one time expense. One time, and
you're done.

Some thoughts regarding "E-work Options." Not bad, but could have
been better.Reviewed by Jeff Lippincott, 2009-06-03
I liked this book. The title could have been "E-work Options" and I
think I would have liked the title better if it had been named as
such. Of the 35 chapters in this book 7 of them had the term
"e-work" included in their titles. I thought the book was
well-written. I thought it could have been organized a bit better -
a book with 35 chapters simply cannot be well-organized. It is
split into 6 parts, but not well. Parts 5 and 6 only have 1 chapter
each. And Part 2 had many chapters.
As I read the book I felt like I was reading a high school research
paper written by an honors junior or maybe a senior. I won't say
the book is comprehensive, but it does cover a lot of ground. It
not only covers working from home as someone else's employee, but
also covers self-employment from home, too. It probably would have
been a better book if it had limited its scope to either W-2 or
self-employment, but not both.
Although in this Internet Age that we live in it is possible to
work from home as someone's employee, in reality most employers
don't trust letting their workers work at home. And when they do it
is usually on an hourly basis where work productivity is fairly
easy to monitor. I'm not a fan of virtual assistants (VA). The work
those people do is usually worth so much more than what they are
paid to do. I always recommend to my SCORE clients to avoid being a
VA and instead be an online consultant of some kind. Chapter 14
regarding teaching & tutoring was much more up my alley, but I
think the authors were kind of shortsighted. They should have
included consulting and coaching in this chapter, too. And Chapter
16 regarding writers was shortsighted, too. Writing as a freelancer
is OK. But what about being an infopreneur? Selling information is
where it is at today. And creating ebooks and self-publishing is
inexpensive and easy now.
So this book has a lot of good content. It could have been better.
It could have been made into two books easily. It's definitely
worth a read. It's just not a masterpiece. 4 stars!
This is the one to buyReviewed by Silkroad, 2009-05-22
I've read all the work-from-home books. I've checked out every website that could conceivably be helpful. Mostly, it was a waste of my time and money. Until I found this book, that is. It contains information you won't find anywhere else. It really is a comprehensive guide. If you want to work from home, get this book. And read it. Now.
