I mentioned in my last post that I will be presenting a Work at Home Seminar at the Reinvent Your Career Expo in

Sydney on 30 and 31 August 2014. We call it the WAH Seminar and I really hope to see some of EzyLearn’s students there. We’ll have a stand there for our soon to be announced Start Up Academy!

Work at Home with the Start Up Academy

Steve Slisar, EzyLearn CEO, will soon be sharing how you can work from home.

The Startup Academy is the culmination of 14 years in the training industry. Over those years I’ve watched EzyLearn transition from a training centre in Dee Why to having three centres across Sydney and then finally close all centres in 2006 and move all of our training content online. In 2008 online training really kicked off for us.

We offered MYOB and Microsoft Excel Online training courses and we began our journey into hiring remote workers to work from home for various parts of our business. We’ve used a number of different services to find the right people for our organisation including oDesk, Gumtree, Virtually Yours, 121 Temps, Freelancer, Elance and even this very blog. Everything we’ve learnt a lot along the way I’ll be sharing with the audience at the seminar.

Good Online Reputation Means You Can Work at Home

Social Media and the Internet have given more people a stronger voice than at any time in human history and as a result we are all faced with our “online profile” and “online reputation” – this is particularly relevant for people who work from home. One of the best examples that I can think of where people want to have a good reputation is eBay. I’ve met many eBay sellers and they are all VERY keen to do a great job and get a great rating and it’s always a pleasure to deal with them. The same thing is now happening with the way we work and provide services.

I’ll be talking about a range of things to help remote workers start their own business working from home as independent contractors, including how to find work. Here’s a little more on what to expect from me:

  • Does it really happen?
  • Does it affect me?
  • How do I fit in?
  • Make yourself stand out
  • Measure the work you do
  • Teleworking
  • The Australian Government wants it
    • – workforce participation
    • – digital disruption
    • – work is about what you do
    • – working anywhere
    • – enablers
    • – benefits
    • – drivers
    • – unmet demand – mature, parents and disabled
  • Our experience
  • Measure outcomes
  • Your public profile
  • Your competitors
  • LinkedIn
  • Do something you enjoy
  • Finding clients
  • Create an engine

Once again, I hope to see you at the seminar. If you would like more information on the Reinvent Your Career Expo, you can visit their website for more details and if you are interested in having me do the same presentation at your industry group meeting, chamber of commerce or other meeting please let us know.
