Seeking Extra Income from Home

I know you have a lot of kids of your own... perhaps the older one's go to school?

(1) A quick and sure way for extra income, is baby-sitting.
I did that when I had my first child until she went to school and before I had my 2nd child.

You can either do it for all day hours, or just night-time, or just "drop off" care (ie: for Moms who need someplace to put their kids for only a couple of hours when they have appointments or just want a break). And it is up to you whether to charge per hour, or a flat rate.

You charge what you want, of course whatever is the going rate in your area, or under-cut the rates a little in order to gain clients.

Or course, this takes research. Or you can do it for your friends whom you already know. Thereby, not allowing "strangers" into your home. That is what I did. You'd want to background check anyone you do not know. And you'd want to have a "Contract" of some sort, to release you of liability and to state your 'rules' and so forth.

Each state is different... and you'd have to research it. It takes time.
But a short cut to that, is to just offer your babysitting to people/relatives you already know....

Anyway, babysitting is something people always 'need.'

(2) Or, you go to your children's school.. .and see if they have any positions available on campus. And, if they have some sort of preschool thing for your youngest child, then you'd have All your kids at the same school... plus being on their same 'calendar' schedule, and being able to see them too.

Good luck to you... this is a topic that all Moms want to know about.

A.,
Wow I thought when I open this one I would have seen way more ideas. Especially with this econmy. Well I wanted to tell you about my business which is Mary Kay. I started my business 2 1/2 years ago because of the money I make off the product. I have stayed in it because of the girlfriend time. I was just tell my husband the other day at our weekly meeting there where six new consulants and 3 where huge sports fans, one was excited that she got to take her baby to her first facial appointment/play date. It just made me fall in love some more with what I am doing. Other things I love about this company is that it has been around for 45 years, it is still an American bases and family owned Company. It is a debt free company and they are offering a rebate/stimulous package back to new Consultants. Ok with all that said I know it is not right for everyone. Not everyone likes to be around people or gets excited about their work but you should at least check out my website www.marykay.com/reamycolor101. If, you go to the tab "sell Mary Kay" you will get more detailed information, and be able to take a quick quiz. You can do this as you are surfing the net after the kids go to bed:)It my personal website and I will not call you unless you ask me to.

Over all you have to do what is right for you and just find something that you love to do. Good luck

Hi A.,

In this economy, there are a lot of folks in the same situation. I've been a stay at home mom for 3yrs now and about 1.5yrs ago we found ourselves in need of some additional income even though we were adamant that I was going to remain at home. We did not have a lot of money to start anything, I don't consider myself a sales person so I didn't want to sell anything or take orders and doing home parties was out of the picture. I was very skeptical about everything I came across, until I found this team and company. I would be happy to share with you what I do. I'm a p/t at-home rep for an International Wellness Co. I handle appt setting and member services for their wholesale distribution. The work is flexible so I can set my own hours around my family. It allows me the flexibility to have playtime with my 3.5yr old during the day, whom I plan to homeschool, as well as enjoy the freedom to do daytime activities like gym class, going to the park, etc. Most home businesses will allow this time flexibility but that also means you have to be self-motivated and have the drive to actually work at your business or you will be treating it like a hobby and not really succesfully bring in an income. A home business is much different than a home based JOB. I'd love to talk with you or anyone interested to give you all the details to see if this would be a good fit for you. You can reply to me here on Mamasource or visit my website www.HelpUstayHome.com

Sincerely,

Hi A.,

I was layed off from my full time job in August when I was going back from Maternity leave. At that point I was worried but at the same time I wanted to stay home with my baby. I had hosted a girl's night out Romance Party at my house a few weeks before that and we all had a blast and I thought that maybe I could do that part time. I signed up with Party Gals and had my first party within a week of receiving my kit and I sold $800, your profit is 50% of all sales. Ever since then, I love what I do because I can stay home and work only part time doing Romance Parties like 2 per week and I'm making great income and the product sells itself. You can visit my website at www.partygalpatty.com or email me at ____@____.com or you can call me if you would like more information ###-###-####.

Thanks,
P.

Hey A.! (Nice name..lol) I know you've got quite a few responses, but have you found what you're looking for? Times are tough for many, and I know there are a lot of home based businesses struggling, especially ones that sell products people don't really need right now! I have been working from home for over a year now, and love it! I've got 3 little ones, so it was important for me to find something that i could work around their schedules. I found an amazing opportunity, with no sales, no large investments or fees, and no risk! I help others save money on things they already purchase and help them earn an extra income at the same time if they choose! You can request info. through my site. www.Freedomhomewithfamily.com I can share all the details with you over a phone appointment! All that is required, is good communication skills, a positive outlook on life and motivation to make it work!

Hi A.,

I'd suggest eBay. If there is something that you know alot about, or something you really enjoy (for me, it's vintage clothing) you can use eBay for a source of income AND a hobby.

Get an idea, get out to a thrift store, find something neat - DON'T PAY OVER $5 for it, and pop it on eBay. It seems pretty intimidating, but it is easy and fun .. and you may suprise yourself .. I bought a funky old dress for $3 and sold it for $80.

EBay is world wide, so think of all the people looking at your item .. it's limitless!

My 2 cents :)

With the economy being what it is, I too was looking for something I could do from home to bring in extra money. I was lucky enough to find a reputable company that required very minimal investment and all that is required is phone and internet. Please feel free to visit my website. If after reviewing this, you think it might be for you, please feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to talk with you directly.

Hi A., I am making extra income with Scentsy wickless candles. I came across Scentsy at a craft show over Christmas and fell in love with them. I watch the table at the craft show for a few minutes and saw how people just loved these candles, so I decided to sign up to become a consultant, and I am so glad I did!
I also help out at my daughters school, when I showed the teachers and staff Scentsy they were really excited about it. Many of the teachers have it in their classrooms now. It is safe for the kids because there is no frame and the wax never gets hot enough to burn, and it makes thier classrooms smell great. So with your involvement in the school, you would already have a great customer base.
The extra income has been great for me. I have only been with Scentsy sence Dec. and have already promted. You can check Scentsy out at my website, and email me if you have any questions. Also I am offering incentives this month for joining my team. Hope to hear from you!
