Working from home, no scams?

Question

I'm looking for something to do on a very part-time basis. I have a BA and I am a teacher. I stay home with my child now though and would like to make extra money. Please don't tell me about any scams, I'm not interested. I'm also not interested in selling anything at all. What about medical billing? Anyone familiar with that or anything else?

Thanks!

Answer 1

a friend of mine has a bookkeeping business from home, she charges about $100-200 a month to help other small businesses do their books, she writes checks and makes sure the checking accounts are balanced!

it may take a bit of marketing on your part but if you get 2 clients you will only have to work minimal amounts of time.

Well you could try survey sites. They've worked for me. I review some survey sites to make money that have worked for me at http://cashtutor.blogspot.com What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public's opinion. By doing this, you are able to earn money very easily for simply giving your opinion or trying out sample products. This is a great service that allows one to work from home, on their spare time, at their leisure, and still bring in a nice sum of money every month. People have made up to $1000 easily on this site by just working on it in their spare time. It is not going to replace a real job's salary, but it is a very nice bonus. There are also many features on these web site, such as contests and special surveys, from which you can redeem extra prizes that would be sent to you with your monthly cheque, such as iPods, Xbox 360s, PSPs, digital cameras, gift certificates, and much more.

Cheques are sent monthly, and usually arrive about a week or a week and a half into the next month. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER. Unlike other sites that try to scam people out of their money, these sites never requires you to pay them.

"If the site doesn't get paid from me, then why would they have this service going?" - The sites don't get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let's say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time.

Fraud is also a big deal on the Internet these days, and this site recognizes that. That is why they ask for ONLY three bits of information: Your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month. Your email address is only required to confirm that you have done the offers and surveys. Fortunately, no spam mail or junk mail is ever sent out by this site and your information is never shared with any other company.

Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. So far, I've listed only positives about this site, because I can't think of a single negative thing about it. Earn money in your spare time, at no cost to you...Easy as that! I give you my word that they pay.

Answer 4

I decided that I did not want to go back to work again when I had my daughter. When she was 6 months, I did find something very part-time, but lost that job due to store closure back in March. I decided I just wanted to be able to stay home with my family and my daughter, rather than have my husband gone all day, then me gone all night.

So, I opened up a home child care. I have two part-time kids, who come 2-3 days a week for 9 hours a day. In my area, people usually charge $40 a day per child, but I only charge $35 a day for both of them. It's very part-time, very rewarding, because I get to stay home with my daughter and still be home in the evenings with my husband. It also brings in an extra $400 every month for us, which really helps in preparation for our next child, coming in December.

Child care is a huge demand these days. It would be a great choice for you, if you were up to looking after other people's kids for a few hours every week. It brings in extra money and you can stay home with your child. You don't sell anything either. And parents would jump all over the teacher fact too.

I would suggest, however, that if you were to jump that route, to take a Preparation to Home Child Care course, usually offered at a local child development centre or child drop-in centre, and to also have a written contract to protect yourself, the parents, and the children in your care. As a liability, add liability to your home insurance. That way if a child were to be injured, and the parents sue, you don't pay a ton of money.

You could be licensed or private, or go through an agency. I chose to go private, personally.

I will be shutting down for a few weeks between November and February in preparation for the baby though.

Good luck. Hope I helped!!

The work from home jobs that aren't scams actually require work on your part - and if you're in need of money soon then you're likely to be sorely disappointed in any of those as well. Most of the legit opportunities out there take time to build - so if someone makes an outrageous claim of income it probably isn't true ( and those that are true sure didn't make that kind of money when they first began ).

Time & effort required - but do your own research on what is best for you, don't take the advice of myself and others as gospel from this type of forum.

I have other ideas that may help - one of them is an online opportunity but another is one that will require a little effort to market yourself - try some data entry for local businesses, many of them don't have the time to do it in-house and will gladly pay someone else to do it. Professionals are a good place to start, lawyers, doctors, chiropractors, etc - they need their "in-house" folks doing other things rather than busy work.

Answer 6

I have tried so many of these work at home opportunities (and tons of money out the window).  

The bad news is that there are many, many companies out there that are complete scams eagerly waiting to get your money.  The good news is that there are home based businesses out there that are genuinely legitimate.

There are two ways to work at home:

1 - A work at home job - these are usually hard to get and pay very little.  You are still working for someone else and will only make what they want you to make.  It is a job so there will be no up front costs.

2.  A home based business.  If you can find the right one, you will reap the rewards forever.  This is your business just like a brick and mortar business but at a fraction of the cost.  You will usually have to pay an upfront costs ($10-$500).  There is usually a monthly fee to cover websites or other company overhead.  Which is very minimal compared to if you were to have a brick and mortar business (electric, sewer, inventory, etc.).  There are no limits to the amount of money that you can make and the business is usually willable and sellable!

After trying and trying I finally decided on Answer #2.  It seems like I made a career out of failing at home based businesses before I found the right one.  I enjoy helping people make informed decisions about working at home.

I have been very successful at working at home for several years now.  It is something that you have to put your mind to and be determined to succeed not matter what.  There are many naysayers and negative people out there.  You just have to put the blinders on and go full speed ahead with whatever you choose to do.

Feel free to email me and we can discuss this further (I promise I won't try to sell you anything : )
