PROS
You Don't Have To Wear Pants
Any day I can work in my pajamas is a good one. Being able to wear what you want and be comfortable is a nice plus. Every day is casual Friday.
My Travel Is From Here To There
Not having to commute is a huge asset. Gas is expensive and so is public transit. Getting to work, one way, can be an hour or more for some people, which is over two hours of your day wasted.
You're Your Own Boss
I like people. I do. But there are some days, maybe even just for an hour or two, when I just want to spend quality time with my computer. Getting a job done, in a stressful work environment, usually goes smoother when you want to deal with someone, not when you have to. We all have our bad days.
Do What You Like, Sorta
We are getting to the point where different fields are getting more and more opportunities for people to work for themselves. You want to drive, you got Uber. You like to make videos, Youtube. Writers and photographers now have Steemit. It is not perfect, you will still need to work within the frame of the site in order to have any success, but at least you can work somewhat in the field of your choice.
No Limits
Your audience is the internet, which means your audience is the world. If you want to blog you are only limited by how much work you want to do to post and build your network. There is always something to do, and if you start to get some traction on your content, the rewards can be massive.
CONS
You Don't Have To Wear Pants
It is easy to fall into bad habits when your appearance doesn't matter. I guess I can go another day without combing my hair, who is going to know. I can start that diet next week, lots of time. In order to keep healthy, good habitats have to be kept by you and only you.
Working 9 to 9
You thought you would work less becuase you are working from home? Nope. It is a common misconception, one that is easy to make, that working from home means you will be working less. But it is the opposite. You are on your own to make it work which means you will have to do every aspect yourself to get your content or product off the ground.
Payday Is Any Day Now
No steady paycheque is one of the biggest issues that faces people who want to work from home. And there is no guaranteed income. You can end up putting in a lot of hours into something and see little or no return.
Get Ready To Dance
Life on the internet is about getting your name out there. Which means you will have to do a lot of self-promotion, regardless of the field that you are. This can make people uncomfortable, especially when they don't like to talk about themselves. Figuring out when and how to tell people about your content can be stressful.
Competition Is High
Every legit new site that gives you an opportunity to make money online quickly gets front-runners. And once that threshold is hit, it becomes difficult for new users to find a spot to make their mark. Don't give up, but know it can be a tough hill to climb.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I rarely exit my flannel pants ... and this is why I admire Jeffrey Tucker. ;)
