The Best Office Jobs Might Be Closer Than You Think

For those of you who haven't yet made the leap, I've co-authored a new book, "Will Work From Home: Earn the Cash Without the Commute," which is filled with resources and ideas to help you get going on this path too.

Here's a look at just a few of my favorite resources:

Turn your crafts into cash. Many people get rave reviews for their handmade wares from family and friends, but most have no idea how to make money from their stuff. If you specialize in jewelry, pottery, clothing, illustrations, bath products, edibles and more, you should be selling today on Etsy.

In July alone, the company says 487,000 items were sold, totaling $7 million. Etsy charges just 20 cents to list an item and takes 3.5 percent of each sale. For that, your wares reach a global audience.

Answer the call. Virtual customer service -- answering in-bound customer calls for big brands from your own home -- has proven to be one of the most popular segments I've reported on GMA. Agents earn an average of $8 to $15 an hour and many also receive incentives and commission, too.

The field is growing: Four companies: Arise, Alpine Access, Working Solutions and LiveOps say they'll add more 7,000 new agents to their rosters by the end of this year.

To fill those positions, they'll receive a combined total of 90,000 applications, which means the competition is super steep. This work isn't for everyone, but if you want to give it a shot click here for advice on how to excel during that interview process.
