I am an at home mom with a 5 yo, and a 6mo. I love being at home with my kids and I take pride in being a housewife. I do however want to bring in some sort of income. I have been researching work at home jobs for 2 weeks and only came up with 4 options, everything else were scams. I probably shouldn't be so picky but there are a few things that I don't want to do. I don't want to hold parties or have parties at my home. I also don't want to have to call anyone or go door to door. If anyone has any ideas or information on this subject I would be oh so grateful. I just might try anything right about now. Thanks

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I have finally found an at home business that I really love. Oddly enough, I got introduced to it from an at home dad that is at my daughter's bus stop everyday. Thanks to all of you who have given me advice, free info, and simply just support. Thank You!!!

Ah mama, you are in luck. I want you to try it out as a customer first to see how you like it. It's free. you don't have to pay nothing, you don't need to sell anything. ChaCha.com. Positions just opened up. You can work whenever you want. go ahead and contact me, and we can talk over the phone about it if you want. it's not a scam or anything. you work through the computer. it's great. the pay isn't that great though. so if you're looking for something like a regular job, it's not for you. but looking for some extra cash, it's great! I LOVE IT! I'll send you a flyer through email so you can read it.

I work for Continental Airlines and have for 10years. We recently have upgraded our phone system to allow reservations agents to work from home. At this time, you must live in Houston, Salt Lake City or Tampa. However, within the next 6-8months you will be able to work anywhere!!! I am excited because I live an hour from Houston and drive in to work! You may email me at ____@____.com if you would like.

Hey T.,
I am a 27 year old stay at home mom to a 1 year old son. I love being home with him. I work with this awesome team of moms and would love for you to join us. Visit my web site: www.MoreForMyBaby.com. We do not sell products, throw parties, or collect money. Everything we do is on the phone and computer on our own time. I love it and am doing very well at it.

If you have quiet times in your home or an office to seperate you, you can work for LiveOps, Alpine Access, West at HOme.

Alpine Access will be hiring for 1800flowers soon (or did last year)for Mother's Day. I worked for them during that time and they pay a good ($10 or more an hr) hourly pay rate but you have a set schedule. LiveOps and West you can pick your schedule- you will answer phones for pizza delivery to the infomercials you see on tv-they pay per minute but you can work an hour here or there-say 2 hrs before the kids get up, an hour at nap time and then at bedtime...whatever works for your life.

I just had too hard of a time having quiet time with 2 toddlers or I would have kept doing it!

Good luck!

You are starting at the right place by getting the word out you are looking for work. Network and use your resources. Someone you know knows someone who knows, etc. Take an assessment of your talents and interests and then think of things you can do in the areas you enjoy or have strengths. Depending on your experience and interests here are some ideas:

teach piano or music
do research for professional writers
after school care
host kids summer camps*
accounting
coaching one-on-one
organizational coach
make appointment reminder calls for a doctor's office
computer skills type office work for a real estate agent

If you need me to help you brainstorm some more, email me!

*I know someone who hosts week long camps for kids at her house. She loves to sew and do crafts so she'll offer a few sewing camps where kids learn to sew, another week it will be crafts. I enjoy scrapbooking and I've done scrapbooking camps for kids. I usually do a morning (9-noon) camp and limit it to 8 children. Parents scramble to find things to keep their kids busy in the summer. You can easily get the word out through coops, especially homeschool groups.

After being in businesses where I had to throw parties and stock products and all that, I can tell you... I'M DONE!

I've found my happiness in two things: I teach music lessons from home and I work with Ignite.

Music Lessons: I set my own schedule and make $30/hour. The students come from schools all around the area to my home for 1/2 hour sessions once a week. It's been a huge blessing. You can take this idea and use it for anything you're good at: math, science, English (maybe teach ESL to foreign students or immigrants?), etc.

Ignite: Finally, no parties!!! *Sigh of relief* Ignite is a network marketing business for energy. Since TX is deregulated, all they ask is that you sign up a few customers for their energy plan from people you already know (can you say easy?) and teach others to do the same. I've been doing this for about 2 weeks and have already received my first check (this past Monday - **happy dance!**). I've been a very satisfied customer for about 2 1/2 years. No product to stock, no quotas, and my sponsor (who has been in the business for 3 years) has never had to do paperwork (and neither have I). If you're interested, message me and I'll get you some more information. The thing I love about this is I have always been a bargain shopper for EVERYTHING, and finally it's a job where I'm saving people money instead of convincing them to spend it. *another sigh of relief*

I hope you find your heart's calling!

Hey T.,

Have you ever thought about being a secret shopper? Anyway, you basically get to secretly evaluate different places and their customer service. These places range from department stores, fast food places, restaurants, pet stores, banks...you name it, they've got it. I'm a stay-at-home mom and I have been doing this on and off for a few years to make a little extra money. You can have e-mails sent to you notifying you of shops in your area or you can check their websites from time to time. You are able to look at the shops, what all is required, and decide whether or not you want to do them. No pressure...you work when you want and where you want. For example: I did a few pet shops the other day. I had to swing by and pick up some dog food anyway, so I got paid to do something I had to do anyway. These shops usually have you follow some little scenario while you are in the store, like asking which natural brand of dog food they reccommend. Then you just go home and fill out a survey on-line telling them about your experience, the customer servive, etc... The different shops range in pay. Some are lower paying and some are higher paying. Anyway, if you are interested, I can send you tons of legitimate secret shopping sites. Just let me know :)

I recently found the perfect home-based business for me. Perhaps it could work for you too.

It requires NO inventor stocking. It does not require me to leave home or do parties. While it does require a small investment, as all home-based businesses do, I earned back in 3 days. Some people have done it quicker.

Hi T.! I have been successfully working from home for almost 2 years now. I would be more than happy to share my opportunity with you if you think you can be passionate about helping people afford quality healthcare! I have to say I totally understand about not wanting to do parties (me neither LOL), but I'm confused on the not wanting to call or go door to door. I'm thinking you meant you don't want to cold call? We don't do that - we market our businesses and then talk to people who are interested and responded. So we do spend time on the phone with them, but it's very relaxed and pleasant.

T. ,

You're looking for a business opportunity. I'm so glad because it means you want to change your life. I'm sure you already know how important it is to find that right opportunity. When I started looking for a business I knew that 97% of people who try to find financial freedom through a home-based business fail so I knew whatever I chose had to be different! There were certain "Givens."

It had to be FREE so every person who wanted to change their lives would have a chance.
It had to be simple.
It had to take away all the "business games" that kept most people from succeeding in a home-based business.
The "Givens" were answered when I found MY POWER MALL!

I'm not going to take time to explain it because MY POWER MALL has created some powerful movies and a great website that will do just that. I will tell you it is totally new, totally FREE, very simple, and can be done in conjunction with anything else you are doing to generate financial freedom. You could easily be making $4 - 6000 a month, but your income potential is unlimited. Interested? Click the button below! It will only take a few minutes to determine if our FREE program is what you have been looking for. When you get to the website if you scroll down you will see Read Text Version. I found that I could read about the business a lot quicker than listening to the video. Please call me if you have any questions! http://www.mymagnoliamall.com


Sincerely,

L. Sloan

I have 3 small children and researched long and hard for a work at home job. I really wanted to contribute to my family and keep my kids with me during the day. So I did lots of research and I found a great career! I recently have come across a home-based business opportunity with no large investment, no inventory and no risk. It is an Inc. 500 manufacturing company. I work from home with a company that manufactures products that we're already buying elsewhere, but they are better, safer & healthier. We just help set up customer accounts and the company pays us to do so. It has benefited our family so much! I never have to leave my house to be successful! If you would like some more information, please feel free to ask me about how I made it happen for my family! I would love to share the information about our company! I think if you hear all the details about working for this company it will make so much sense to you.

Hi T.:
I am also a stay at home mom. I have a lot of different things that I do...from Mary Kay...to shaddow shopping...to call canter.
If you want something that you can just do anytime of the day when you get a break...I work for a company call LiveOps. It is a nationwide call center where you can log on and take calls 24/7. You are an independent contractor. There are no set hours. And it is 100% legitamate. If you are interested, please contact me. My email address is:
____@____.com
I also do demos, but that is something that you have to leave the house for. The mystery shopping is great, but doesn't pay a lot, and most of the things you do you are not allowed to take children with you. The MaryKay is great also. I actually rarely do parties, but have a very large customer base.
I love all of it, but if you like to be on the phone, the LiveOps is the best.
You are more than welcome to eail me, if you want to learn about any of them.
Good luck,

Have you ever looked @ ARBONNE International? It is a fabulous company. The money that can be made is astounding. One of my friends gave up her teaching job ( she was teaching 3rd grade and dance @ nite) to finally do ARBONNE full time.....She works about 10 hours a week and brings in about $10,000 dollars a month. It took her a litle over a year to build her business. It is an interesting prospect. What you will find is that the products are awesome and result oriented. People try the products and then want them. My friend(when she speaks before groups) says she never envisioned her self as selling anything like this......but the products are so outstanding she could not resist. She became a consumer first and then she was committed. She is now a regional vp and the company gives her a mercedes to d rive. I am now doing it ( after 36 years in education that I loved and am having a ball. I am very low key and what happens is that someone uses the products and then tells someone else...I think you might want to be interested in something that has unlimited earning power and the freedom of flexibility. Let me know if i can a ssist you.

The position is marketing these affordable benefit plans as well as being a recruiter for the company. There are no products to buy, sell or stock. We just handle paperwork from the comfort of our home office. We never telemarket or cold call anyone. We just call people who have requested more information from us.
