I'm a mother of two young boys(2 and 7) and a full time college student. Both of these factors plus lack of childcare make it impossible to a regular job. I've searched the internet for months and only found scams or things that only pay $.02 for reading emails, posting to blogs, or posting ads for google. None of these things are would work for me because I need to make at least $300 a month for part time. Would appreciate advise from people who actually work at home. I do have administrative experience from working as an office manager for 2 years.

  1. I work for an online job. I love it. I make good money not outrageous but ok money. If you would like info please contact me though email. I will not send you junk but I will tell you about what i do. It is not a business opportunity it is a real job. Contact me if interested I will send you more info.

    You can even get paid the day you made the money, they send you a debit card it’s awesome. Like I said I love it. I would never scam anyone since I know what it’s like to waist your time on something time is precious when we have families.

  2. I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of top 10 work at home scams!

    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. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $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.

    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.

    After trying 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare Company. This is 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 and a half now and I make over $4500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $2500. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well.

    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.

    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” “American Medical Review” and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazine”. Even “60 Minutes” did a big special on this home based business.

    Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable.

    TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS:

    10. Craft Assembly

    9. Medical Billing

    8. Email/Rebate Processing

    7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!"

    6. "Just Call This 1-900 Number For More Information..."

    5. Typing At Home / Data Entry

    4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"

    3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)

    2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast")

    1. Envelope Stuffing

    Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce.

    As for those of you who say…..”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If  it is a true honest home business you need to expect to pay. Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.

  3. There are many things that you can do, however, none of them would be easy. The question at hand is how much work can you put in and what types of industries are you considering. I try to look at investment versus potential income/time limit on income. Many things have a great potential if you can not have any income at all for 6 months to a year. Cater to your personality as well. I am out going and love people, so I just started my own company to be with the kids as well. I do insurance and investments for myself and it took me about 30 -45 days to get licensed in insurance. My payout isn't to brag about but in the last 30 days, I have a few policies that will pay me $2500 a month even if I don't work for the rest of the year. Now, I just focus on picking up my boys everyday from school and twice a week go out and do a financial seminar. That's my personality. you have to be creative according to your personality.

    Best of luck!
