One of the major mistakes that a lot of people working from home are making is they chase every opportunity. If you want to excel, you need to pursue quality over quantity. Instead of blindly pursuing all offers, choose jobs that align with your skills. If you do not have the skills, invest time in acquiring them. Optimize your efforts by avoiding jobs that demand extensive time but offer lower pay. Do not get into the job just because other people found success, make sure that you can do it and you have the potential to do it. Freelancing sites can be lucrative, but professional-level skills are paramount for success if you want to make money from home.
