1. please let me know if you find something out.
2. I work from home in my spare time on my sucessful online business. I can work on my business from anywhere, and my business continues to grow the more I talk to my friends, family, and just everyday people I meet. I'd be happy to share this great business opporotunity with you if you don't mind taking a few minutes to check out a website. Watch the videos that are available and let me know what you think.
If you're interested, please don't hesitate to e-mail me at
azluciousbifem@yahoo.com
If you're really serious about wanting to stay home and raise your kids, this is the way to go.
3. Be a night stocker at a grocery store or something like that while your husband is at home.
Good luck!
4. Work part time
5. I am looking for the same thing I've been to the same sites if you find any thing please email me at nbambreyst@yahoo.com
6. I feel your pain. I have been searching for a work at home oppertunity for two years, I have met up with scam after scam, and I've had my hopes dashed time and again. I even went to college for two years so I could be a medical transcriptionist from home, and then discovered that without at least two years of experience, my education was just about worthless. I'd say that all you can do is keep trying and be careful not to get suckered in until you can do your own research. Also, don't believe everyone who says something IS a scam. Alot of times people will sign up for these home buisness things, then not put in the effort. Then they get on the web and declare the whole thing a scam just because they didn't get rich over night. Home jobs are like home schooling, you have to make yourself do it, no one else is going to . I am happy to say that after years of hard searching I have finally found my legitamate way to make money from home and I love it. I am still new at this but I am slowly growing. Soon, as I meet my goal income, I will quit my "day job" and be fulltime at home. If you have any questions about what I found that worked, or even about the scams I tried that didn't please drop me a line.

9. The truth is that unless you want to spend hours filling out surveys or getting ripped off by scammers, it is really hard to get a work at home job that pays anything more than $5. Unless you have a degree and can work for a legit company at home doing computer work or customer service, but they prob wont like it if they here screamming baby in background. So it is pretty hard for someone to get hired to work at home.
10. as seen on WAHM.com
I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.
Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.
What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.
Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website, accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, processing and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.
If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.
I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $3500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $6000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $102,000 a year with this company.
The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.
I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!
I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.
Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : - )
When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?

11. Stay away from Ameriplan. Many consumer complaints filed with the BBB. They are also scam artists!

13. Okay for all of you want to stay at home moms I have found the perfect and most wonderful paying opportunity. No MLM, No sales, No Inventory. I just started two months ago and my checks are climbing rapidly. My first Check for the first week was $500.00 and all I did was talk to friends. I never had to leave my house and you don't even need a computer but it does help. I can't break the rules of YA either so you will have to email me for more info. I am dead serious...no scams, no headaches. Pure fun with a 23 year old successful company that makes a living helping other people earn money. They offer great and fun monthly incentives to keep it lively. Remember No Sales!!!! Email me so I can share with you. I will not give you a link or a website to muttle through, I will hook you up with a real person, one of the Senior Directors himself to explain it... I am so excited about this company I am about to burst!
14. Try the link below. It's free and you'll get a lot of guidance.
15. Im trying out these few websites where you click on ads, receive emails, do surveys etc and get paid for it. You might wan to try it out. I haven got paid from these sites, but no harm trying it out since its free to join. =)

16. I do several things to help hubby pay the bills. I don't know if any of these will catch you fancy, but if they do, send me an email through my profile and I will explain further.
I was a working mom until a year ago when I was downsized. I have a background in office administration and was unable to locate employment that paid similar to what I was making to afford child care (distant relative was watching my preschooler).
I have since begun my own business with Home Interiors and Avon. Since neither of these, right now, are 100% reliable, I was forced to find a "job" with a company that would pay an hourly or piece wage.
I found my jobs (yes 2) through sohojobs.org. I do some typing for one of them and customer service with the other. With the customer service job I work about 30 hours a week on a set schedule. The typing job is a "whenever" type of job.
I looked at each and everyone of the job boards you mentioned prior to joining sohojobs.org. Honestly, I didn't want to pay the membership fee at first, but I was desperate. The mortgage had fallen behind and the electric was about to be shut off. I am so glad that I spend the 24.95 on soho because slowly but surely, we are getting caught up!
17. I am able to be home with my children because of Mary Kay. I know how you feel I felt the same way I hated putting my daughter in day care I cried all the time and my friend told me about Mary Kay I was not interested in sales so I told her not interested about a year later frustrated and at my wits end I listened to the facts and was surprised at what I found even now 4 years later it is hard to explain that it isn't really sales it is sharing a product I love with women who want the service I offer I hated going to the store trying to figure out what I needed with no one to ask or a different sales person each time having a draw full of lipstick I couldn't use because once I tried it I couldn't return it. Now I offer a service to women that makes them feel good while working with a company that puts Faith first then Family then career teaching me every step of the way depending on my goal and they have changed over the 4 years. I have a great support group of positive up lifting women that have been come great friends. My only regret was not listening sooner. So not all direct sales are the same just maybe this is what you are looking for and maybe it's not but you will never know unless you hear the facts.
18. Hi! My name is Sarah. I just wanted to let you know I read your comment on Yahoo Answers. I'm a stay at home mom or a beautiful baby girl. I also have two older boys who are in grades 1 and 3. I HAD to find something where I could stay at home with my daughter. My husband and I decided that we could NOT put her in daycare for various reasons. I looked all over on line to find something legit that I could do from home, I tried the survey thing, I wrote to Yahoo Answers. People gave me these companies that actually charge me tons of money, plus I have to buy this and that to even get paid. It's horrible! I was at my witts end- sadly I thought I'd have no choice but to put her in daycare and get a job. We sure as heck can't make it on only 1 salary. Avon and Mary Kay kind of.. fell into my lap. I now sell both and I LOVE both of the
buisnesses. I have a lot more customers with Avon, because of course it's cheaper, but MK products are so wonderful.
I love doing skin care classes/parties. I love doing make-up and making people feel pretty. I have so many girls that
call me and want me to do make-up for them for one ocassion or another. The best part is I can stay home with my
baby girl and my self esteem (and my looks) are better now than they have been my whole life. If you want to email me I would love to give you more information, the perks the benefits, the drawbacks, or if you want to know about any specific product I'd be glad to help you. Anything you need I'll be right there to assist you. My recruiter was wonderful and I want to return the favor to other women. And they really mean it that you can earn what you want. My husband was leary at first, but now that the money is coming in he's happy! haha! Anyway, I'd LOVE to talk to you anytime. You have nothing to lose, right?
19. I have a work at home interet job and I love it. It's free and I put in whatever time I have. I don't want to get a violation, so if ANYONE wants the web page to check it out, contact me.
20. I use the following site. Now, it's not a get-rich-quick scheme. Nothing works like that except for the lottery. The best thing about it is that you don't have to pay anything.
