i was wondering if any of the mothers on here has found another way to make extra money or at least know if any of the work from home jobs actually work.
I started out babysitting when my 2nd was 5 months old. This turned into me doing in-home childcare and now I teach preschool from home for 5 kids. I love kids and love my job and it brings in an extra $1600 a month. :)
Hi A..
I looked for a long time. I now own 4 franchises on the internet. It's amazing. Absolutley love what I do. Feel free to pick my brain about what to look for when you are looking for something from home.

It depends upon what you like to do and are really good at. I know of a woman who built a commercial kitchen in her basement and make the most incredible wedding cakes. But you have to have a kitchen that is certified by the health department. You can do event planning, design brochures, mending, & alterations, sew curtains there are a lot of possibilites but I would need to know what you are good at.
Think outside the box. What are you good at? What do you love to do?
You'll get hit with all the MLM's and direct sales here and if that is what you like, go for it. Many people swear by it. However, in most cases, you are recruiting people for your team, selling, and possibly having the dreaded parties, etc.
Working from home is WORK. Most companies will not start out a new employee working from home. Like Cheryl said, you have to prove yourself first. It takes self discipline, quiet office space (no children or dogs making noise).. Most require you to have child care.
I work from home with hubby running our consulting/brokering company. It is not always easy or fun.
Sell your old stuff online. Be careful of course and don't let strangers come to your house though. Some man in the Dallas area did that a couple weeks ago and got robbed at gunpoint. DUH.
A good babysitter is always a great find!!
Hopefully you'll find something that fits you.. Good luck
I babysit and it's worked out wonderfully and gives my little one a playmate. I have friends that do Pampered Chef and Tastefully Simple and do very well. I wouldn't want to do it myself and to tell you the truth the party invites are getting a little ridiculous. I have 2 Lia Sophia invites this month and though I love going and love buing new jewelry I think I'll be declining both invites.
I started my home based business with Ambit Energy 5 months ago and have been really happy with it. I have a 3 year old daughter and a 14 month old daughter who keep me really busy so I'm usually able to "devote" only about 30 minutes to an hour each day to my business after they've gone to bed at night, but despite that, I've already made money and will continue to make more. In order for any home based business to be successful, you will have to put forth consistent and persistent effort in building it.
There is a small start up cost just like any other business, but I've already quadrupled that and we now have free electricity so I'm really happy. I'm able to earn bonuses each week and residual income each month by referring people I know to a company that saves money on their electricity and gas bills. So basically, I make money by helping people save money which is awesome.

Sell your unused or unwanted items on ebay or craigslist.
There are work from home jobs that do work and pay well, but you have to prove yourself first. There might be telecommuting jobs on craigslist as well in your field - I don't know what you do - check there you might be surprised at what you find!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
If you are still looking, I have done great with Scentsy, they have amazing products and just launched 2 new brands. I love that I can do it around my schedule. Holler if you would like more info :)
