This is my office set-up at home which is just adjacent to our room. I need to provide a space wherein I can work at my own phase at my own time. I am using a Corei3 desktop computer, Corei5 laptop, and an Acer tablet for execution.
Each gadget has its own purpose. The laptop serves as a back-up during 1.5 hours brownout, when the desktop suddenly breakdown, desktop maintenance, and most importantly when I am on the go and brings along my work with me. The desktop of course is where all the dirty work happens. Dirty in the sense that I always meet up with viruses along the way. Its part of my work to do research and so many nasty sites out there. My fave Tablet is for the get in touch purpose. I browse emails, able to get in touch with Skype messages and calls as this is what I call my Call and Text buddy secondary to my cellphone, as everything is online. This is handy when my laptop or desktop is in sleeping mode, so I still get updates from my clients anytime of the day.
You need to invest in these gadgets as this is what I say my Capital for my Self-employment Business as a homebased freelancer. Way back in 2007 I only started with a second hand desktop computer given to me by my Father.
The most important thing of having an office set-up is the internet connection since this is the Supplier/Source of all racketeering online. As of the present time I am subscribe to Globe Broadband - postpaid and Smartbro - prepaid, as a back-up internet. When worst comes to worst I have my iPhone with data to be able to connect to my client and inform them that I having difficulties with my connection as this is a major problems that client's are complaining about.
For a recent update. I am now using GLOBE DSL Wired Connection with a maximum speed of 10Mbps @ 550G Data Allocation. It has its good days and bad days but we just need to do a little adjustment. Working during wee hours in the morning is the best way to go if you have tons of work to do. Internet connection is fast and only a few users during those hours.
Rock on! You are my guru as your blogs have guided me at my most difficult times. I am not a `job-searcher’ anymore, as I can make money sitting at home. Writers like you are the main reason I am a successfully established freelance graphic designer. By `successful’ I mean `making lots of money’. It is never too late to turn your life around…for the better. Websites like cover photos for twitter, design facebook banner have made my day. If you know anymore such sites then just let me know. ?
ReplyDeleteThe power of the internet is such that even those tasks that were previously thought to be impossible to complete from home can now be completed through the use of a computer. One such job is a virtual assistant. Whereas most people would like to have assistants for their businesses, not everyone can afford one. This is where virtual assistants come into play as they can be hired for almost half the money on a full time, on the job, assistants. Virtual assistants can earn up to $20 per hour and earn a substantial income if they have a liking for working at home.
