4 Work from Home Software

Google Docs | Word Documents, Spreadsheet, Presentations


Google Docs can be very useful when you are working for a client outside your country. It’s a free service from Google that allows you to write documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that you can store online. You can access these documents anywhere, as long as you’re connected to the internet so you don’t have to worry about transferring files from one computer to another and sorting out which document is the most up-to-date version. It solves the problem especially if you have to deal with a lot of documents in your online work.

How to get started? You can get started by signing up for a free Google Account on docs.google.com

Can I save it as a Microsoft Excel sheet? Yes, there is an option to export it as a CSV file which Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice can read.

How do I use it? If you know how to use Microsoft Office or OpenOffice, then you can easily work with Google Docs since it’s very much similar to those two office suites.

RoboForm | Work from Home Software


Speed up and simplify your internet work. One of the softwares I use when working from home is called RoboForm. It allows you to fill up sign up forms, log-in forms, and registration forms with all the details necessary with just the click of the button. It’s pretty much easy to use, and it speeds up my work.. With it I can easily log-in to hundreds of different accounts without having to worry about forgetting the username and password, because Roboform saves them all.

RoboForm is also safe and secure. It is tested and proven not to be a spyware that steals your passwords. Also, it encrypts the passwords so that not anyone can just access them. In case you do leave your computer open and someone else tries to use it, they won’t be able to know your passwords.

Alternative for RoboForm.  You can use a firefox plugin called InFormEnter to keep track of all your accounts, but it’s not like RoboForm in that you have to manually select the details for each site. The only advantage of InFormEnter over having no automatic fill software is that it’s easy to keep track of the accounts that you make, especially if you have hundreds of accounts. Overall, RoboForm is much simpler to use and speeds up the work by a lot more.

Download RoboForm Free. You can download RoboForm for free on RoboForm.com.

Download InFormEnter for Firefox. You can download InFormEnter for Firefox on MozDev.org.

GoToMyPC | Work from Home Software



One software that you can use for working from home is GoToMyPC. It allows you to control  the client’s PC from the comfort of your own home. This way, your client is able to monitor your tasks and your client will feel secure that you are working.

If you’re trying to get a client to hire you for a job but he’s a bit hesitant because he can’t see you working, then you can suggest working through GotoMyPC.

Who will pay for GoToMyPC? You can suggest that they get the GoToMyPC account. Reason to them that getting it for a small amount each month would be worth it since they will be able to monitor your work.

Of course, with GoToMyPC, you will have to perform well since your clients are observing you. What I can say after experiencing working through GoToMyPC is that it does help to keep me focused and it has increased my output for the day.

GoToMyPC is a software that is fair for both you and the client to use for your work.

Tips for speeding up GoToMyPC. In case GoToMyPC is running slow, go to the Preferences/Options and choose the lowest setting for speed and performance. Set it to 256 colors instead of 24-bit so that it will consume lesser bandwidth. I did try it on my 512 kbps connection, and I even did 3 GoToMyPC windows controlling 3 PCs at the same time, and it was no problem.

Where to get GoToMyPC? You can get it on GoToMyPC.com.
