Finding At Home Assembly Jobs: Craftmanship Is King



Are you one of the hundreds of thousands of craftsman who have found yourself with limited employment options after the recent construction downturn? Or maybe you are one of the many laid-off factory workers. Many of these factories will never reopen; it simply is not cost-efficient for them to try to compete with wages in developing countries. Doing assembly jobs at home may be a good alternative for you, especially with gas prices spiraling ever higher. This article will walk you through the types of assembly jobs that can be done from home, and what level of craftsmanship is key to earning money doing them.
The home assembly industry has been around for a long time. Traditionally these jobs have been done by people who live in remote areas, with limited access to gainful employment. Nowadays this is an ever-broadening field, where your skills as a craftsman can easily be used to earn extra income from your home workshop or spare bedroom.
What Types of Assembly Jobs Can Be Done from Home?
There are many opportunities to be found online for home assembly jobs that enlist the craftsmanship of the construction trades. These include, but are not limited to, stained-glass, wind chimes, wooden toys, book markers, window boxes, outdoor furniture, and the list goes on and on.
There are many companies out there, too, that will pay for hand-craft skills, hiring you to assemble their garments and crafts from your home. These include, but are not limited to, baby bonnets, baby bibs, stuffed animals and decorative angels.
If this is a field that interests you, do not hesitate to explore the easy new access via Internet to companies that have products that need assembly.
What Are the Upsides to Doing Assembly Jobs at Home?
There are many upsides to this sort of work. Number one--- you set your own hours. If you need to do your assembly work at night, that's fine. Whatever works for you!
Two, you are working in a controlled environment. Rain or shine, hot or frigid, your work can go on.
Three, you generally will control how much work you do. More work means more income. Less income gives you more time. So you can schedule this work during lulls in on-site work, and back off when your on-site construction schedule gets demanding.
Only Excellence Pays
The main thing that you need to be concerned about is the quality of your product. High quality generates more sales for the company, and more work for you. Since the products you will be assembling are being sold as "custom" or "hand-made," employers will pay you only for excellent work.
This makes sense if you think about it. Businesses that sell these hand-crafted products are charging top dollar in return for high quality. So, as in any industry where products claim to be at the "craft" level, the rejects go in the trash...or, in some cases, get returned to you to be reworked.
Can You Make Money Doing Assembly Jobs at Home?
Will you be paid what you are making on construction sites? Probably not. Will your expenses be lessened? Probably so.
Think about this for a moment...especially if you are one of the many carpenters, plumbers, electricians, or roofers who now do not have adequate work, or whose work drops off in the winter.
Make a list of all your expenses incurred while working on job sites. These may include: Worker's Compensation Insurance, with its sky-high rates; fuel for your vehicle (which seems to be going up daily); expensive tools that need to be maintained and replaced on a regular basis due to exposure to the elements, misplacement or theft.
Compare this to a controlled environment where bad weather does not necessarily mean a lost day's wages. It's actually not a bad trade-off, and can be quite rewarding.
So don't just sit there. Go to your computer and find out what is now available for home assembly jobs. You'll be surprised at what you find. What have you got to lose?
