Here are 4 top tips and tricks to help you when being in a working from home Facebook group
- Treat your online identity the same way you would a CV or job interview. Keep your profile clean and steer away from controversial opinions and posts.
- If you want to stand out from the crowd, make sure your profile shows off any skills that would be useful for people to utilise.

WFH earning potential
The earning potential for this will depend on how much time you’re willing to put in. The idea of this hustle is to provide you with an additional income stream in your spare time so that the money can help support any family responsibilities or other interests.
Expect to earn around $300-$500 monthly from these jobs if you’re not committing too much time to it. Because some tasks might be commission-based, it’s important to check what the rate is as well before committing.
