I became a stay at home mom (SAHM) when my husband deployed to Iraq 2 years ago. And it was great because I always worked 3rd shift with our children sleeping. So it was an interesting transformation for me. But the money aspect was killing me. Deployed soldiers don't make that much money. Unless they are really high ranking or in a long time and my husband only signed up after 9/11. So I had all kinds of guilt of not pulling my weight financially. I was barely able to make ends meet, let alone when something would come up. So I started doing some research and I call it homework. About ways to work at home that were legit. And I was really shocked that there are so many companies that are anything but Legit. I now work from home basically from my computer! I am an Independent Representative/consultant for several great companies. I also started my own website for WAHM/Mompack ideas. With legit companies that offer low to no start up fees, they offer a free website that is part of the consultant program so you are able to work from home. Most of my companies offer a low cost kit to do home parties too.

If your interested please don't hesitate to ask any questions. Remember ask quesitons! If your not comfortable don't rush into anything! Don't be afraid to ask for references! The great thing is I do online parties I have a chat room on my website I use or sometimes I will do a vendor fair online (really cheap to do a half out slot is usually $2.00) I also do home parties to work around everyone's schedules! I email out my specials and company specials to family and friends and invite them to share with friends! Now granted I'm not making a million dollars myself but it's a comfortable living. It was slow starting but it's been a great experience! And I get to be home with the children. Never have to worry about scheduling with doctors/dentists appointments, if the kids are home sick from school no worries about finding them a sitter to go to work!
If you are interested in looking into working from home these are some low to no cost start up companies that I Rep for myself and it's a wonderful experience!

I work from home and out of the home, but I love my in home business. It is called Market America. It is mostly webbased and also consists with talking to people. I have friends that do it and absolutly love the freedom. It requires minimal training and the product you sell is great. Also you get your own personal website and you make money when people shop through your site. I have my whole family and all my friends shopping through my website and bam I am making good money. I have one friend who is 27 and is totally securing her finanical future doing this. My website is www.udeserveit.unfranchise.com I would love to talk to you more, if you are interested!

I've found a yahoo group that offers links and suggestions as to various legitimate work at home jobs that is actually very helpful. You have to fill out a brief questionaire beforehand, but that's mainly just to weed out the spammers and to make sure the group stays legit. Anyway, feel free to take a look - the website is http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RealJobs_FromHome/ I haven't found anything yet for myself, but there's a database that lists a ton of telecommuting companies, transcriptionist companies, etc. Hope this helps!

Hi K.,
I know what you're going through! I used to teach at a Montessori School and loved it, but working from home is so ideal!
I started with a company in August just working part time (hours I choose!), and make as much as with my full time job (and the paychecks keep going up!). In fact I am quitting my job in May! So then I will be working part time from home and making full time money. How awesome.
I am an Independent Consultant with Arbonne International. Have you heard of us? Arbonne is a health and wellness company, and the opportunity is awesome because it's still ground floor.
I teach and train others to do what I do. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me.
You can also check out their website...www.arbonne.com
You are making a great decision to stay home! Kids grow so fast, and really do need Mommy's love and attention, especially these days, when everyone is so busy!

Good Luck...I wish you the best!

Hi K.,
When I left my job last year when my son was born and our income was cut in half. So I completely understand what you are going through. I am now working at home for a beauty and wellness company called Arbonne. I researched many at home businesses and this one had the best products available. I didn't want to sell something that I didn't believe in. You can check out my website at www.lisaborek.myarbonne.com or send me a email if interested in finding out more. I would love to help you out.
Thanks,
L.

hey K.,

i read the advice already given, and they are great ideas. in fact i do something similar. i used to be a teacher, and after my son was born i wanted to stay home. i now babysit a little girl with special needs in the afternoons and on teacher workdays. its not as much as i was making but it helps. plus i dont have the added expense of daycare, gas, etc. and i also got into the homeshow based businesses. although they dont work for everyone, its worth a shot to at least check out. good luck!!!

Hi K.,

I'm not sure if you're still looking to earn some extra cash but I have a at-home business with Arbonne International that has really helped me earn some extra income. I'm also a mom of a 4 and 5 year old and was looking to earn money without having to work outside the home. You can check out my site at www.stacieott.myarbonne.com. Have you heard of Arbonne before?

Hi K.!
Not sure if you found anything yet. Here is my statement below. Check out my website, if you are interested, and request a phone call. I hope your search is going well. Good Luck & Take Care!

I.

I am I., a stay/work at home mommy of 3 boys (2 of my own and a stepson), they are 2.5, 11 months, and 8. I am a Marketing Executive with an international wellness company. I AM TOTALLY LOVIN' IT! After being in Mortgages for 10 years, and working crazy hours (no time for quality family time), I’ve turned to another opportunity...and yes, I am on my knees thanking God every night for this opportunity!! You see, I was having a rough pregnancy and watching the changing market in the mortgage industry. I watched as many of my friends went out of business, got very greedy and lost their morals, and quite frankly got disgusted with it all. I was also loving every minute I got to be with my boys, and didn’t have the desire to go back to work if I had to leave them each day, but I still needed to help pay the bills. So I went on a search to find the best opportunity for working at home. This Company is great and I help other moms work from home, which is really rewarding! We don't *Sell Products *Deliver Products *Take Orders *Take Money from people. It's awesome, and it's for anyone and everyone, I am NOT a sales person. There is a business portfolio fee of $29 that is the total "start up" fee, awesome huh? Even if you are already working from home, this business is second nature and doesn't take a lot of time and it could supplement your income! visit http://www.themomteam.com/cgi-bin/mom.cgi?id=iv515130&amp..., request information, and I will give you a call!

Check out http://www.homejobstop.com. It offers ways for teachers, writers, programmers, etc. to make money. You can sort by state and category. I haven't been able to capitalize on it because I do not have a "trade" to speak of where I could be a consultant, and I have never been an executive in the corporate world.

I am new to the site but can offer you a wonderful opportunity! www.successfuldiligence.net and take a tour.

If I can be of help definitely contact me!

hi there. My name is M.. I know of a home based business that would be really good for you. Arbonne is a company that deals with all natural products like make up, lotions, weight loss and so. people just buy things from you, it sells its self and you do not have to be a "salesperson" If you would like to know more just let me know.
M.-

I am a single mom with an 8 month old son, with no help from the father. I am trying to stay at home with my baby for as long as possible and the company I am working with has allowed me to do so thus far.

Have you ever heard of Melaleuca? It's a Wellness Company. They manufacture wellness and environmentally sensitive products for the home and for personal care.

I'm trying to tell as many people as possible about these products and I think everyone should have them in their home.

ALTHOUGH...there is a start up fee...this month it is only $14.50 compared to $29 normally, which is refundable up to 4 months after you enroll.

If you are interested, I would love for you to contact me to view a presentation and hear more about them. The presentation is about 40 minutes long. They will tell you everything and anything you need to know about the company and how it operates. It is so informational. I learn more and more every time I watch it.

There are presentations everyday, so whatever time and day works best for your schedule, we can accommodate.

Best of Luck to You and Yours,

Pam

Did you end up doing any of these suggestions?

This is really info for all the moms who are thinking about a home based business. Direct Sales Companies offer great opportunities for women. The problem seems to be in making the right choice. It took me alot of time and research before I felt sure that I was selecting the right one for me. But recently I found a website that I think could be very helpful for anyone who is looking into Direct Sales opportunities. If you would like to get free info and answers to questions, go to (directsalesmoms.com) Be sure to click on the work at home request form. You check off the companies you would like info about and they send it to you. It is really great. I wish I knew about it earlier because I would have been able to make my choice alot sooner. Anyway check it out. WWW.DIRECTSALESMOMS.COM

Just to give you and idea of how fast we are growing, is we had 632 consultants sign up in January. Majority of our consultants is on the West Coast. In Maryland we have 12 consultants and Delaware 1. The products sell themselve and nothing is over $25. If your interested in becoming part of this great team please check my website out at
