Re: ligitimate stay at home jobs
I have tried many things - to make money and fight boredom. The most profitable for me has been AC

I make very little from the referral, so use it or not. I still stand by AC as a real and legitimate way to makey money from home. Lots of WAHMs on the site.

Re: ligitimate stay at home jobs

Hi, you sound just like me. I searched for ages trying to find some way to beat the boredom and contribute financially to my family from home. About 5months ago i saw an ad in the local paper for typists wanted to work from home and went to the web address it gave to check it out. I must admit it kinda looked scammy but i gave it a go and am sooooo glad i did! Check it out if you still after something www.workathomedetective.com I earn about 300-500 a week now just by hoping on the net each night once the kids are in bed and doing a bit of typing. Its so great. Hope its what your looking for. Good luck!

great home business opportunity
I have four childre, 2 at school and 2 at home, so I decided to look for a home business that was easy to work over the internet as I am about 500kms from the nearest big town, so  I went searching on ebay and found a great company, which has reall assistance, I have gained not only a business but a few great friends, we all help each other out, and brain storm, it is unreal!!  The company has been around for over 14 years and is listed on teh NASDAQ so you know its not a fly by night. If you would like to look at this biz go to www.sugarmums.com.au and fill in the like more info page, put jacqueline as your referral (as we all use this site as a team, save $$$ on costs) and i will get back to you, alternatively email me direct, jacquelines_101@hotmail.com

Childminding!

I am in the process of becoming a childminder! - I am not sure what you call it in your country? - I live in the UK (but its NOT a babysitter - you  have to have liability insurance and records of all the children you childmind - its more like running a nursery in your own home but the same rules for a nursery dont always apply for childminding!)

Its just like having more children, but I get paid for it and they get to go home at the end of the day! hehe I couldnt really imagine a better job as it allows me to stay at home with my son!

Its not for everyone though obviously! - Ebay is good too, but you have to have alot of stuff to sell! lol - My friend and I have managed to get together and sell all the old childrens clothes and maternity clothes and yes that has made us a few hundred, but thats about it! - We are running out of things to sell...at least ONE Christmas was covered! hehe - Havnt actually thought about branching out yet and investing in things to sell or making my own things.  I think you have to make something that people really want! - I have another friend who is making 'Taggie' like blankies and selling them on ebay - but loads of people are doing that! lol

Also, I used to deliver catalogues - something I could also do with my son!  But as we dont have a car and live in a very wet country...it became rather unpleasant after awhile and not worth it for the amount we were making! - Catalogues are HARD work! lol

Currently though we are cleaning the local church! - We do it twice a week and its only a few hours and only a hundred a month, but its pocket money and gets us out of the house plus of course my son can come with me as the chuch dont mind at all!

Ebay
I think the best stay at home job would be Ebay! Have you heard the saying "Gotta spend money to make money?"  Well it is so very true!
The only thing with Ebay is that it involves hours and weeks of researching products and decent wholesalers in order to make a decent profit.
You need to be really interested in what you are selling, because things will sell better! You need to research what you want to sell on eBay too and see how much similar items sell for and how many bids were placed! IT is always best to have 4 different categories of interest.
And last but not least, be very specific with the item description! IF the item has a scratch on it, say that in the description and specify as to where....also include pictures....chances are the item will sell better if the buyer can see what he she is buying! OH and another thing lol, make sure you don't put your starting bid too high, chances are you wont get many bids!

HI There

I sell Gallery Bags.  Check out my products here: (under the heading Gallery Bags)

Yes, we do have an upfront cost, however you dont need to do parties, have any minimum orders each month, but we do however suggest you put in a least one order every 6 months to know that you are still with us, and thats it.

I love my job as a demonstrator, and I can work at home while looking after my baby.

I work around six children as an independant consultant selling educational cd roms and books we have six hundred products for all ages. You can balance work and family, earn a generous income and build a substantial home library for free or at a fraction of the cost. It is a great no pressure company and the products sell themselves. If you want more information contact me Jodie-is@hotmail.com

Home Business
Lina! Is your Business Melaleuca the wellness company???  If So I do have to agree with you that it is a wonderful opportunity for stay at home mums, I was doing this but had to stop as I could afford to continue ordering the 35 product point value of products every month (approx $150) However if anyone is interested in buying the products, They are fantastic and environmenmtally friendly I can certainly point you in the right direction.  I'm hoping to be able to afford to start buying the products again myself very soon (I'm still using them) as they last for ages, smell and taste great and are shipped to your door just like shopping from home.

WORK PLEASE HELP

hi every1

well i think avon is an excellent way.

the best way to do it is when you sign up ask 4 an area and then door knock 2 all the houses and leave books with people that are interested but rite down people who r not interested so u dont hav 2 go bak there and if people are not home jus leave a book anyway but rite somewhere 'if dont want more books tick box' and draw a box so then u know who wants it and who doesnt. then bout 3 days later collect the books and hand them out again and keep goin until the day b4 u hav 2 put the order through. then rite out all the orders and out them on the order forms and then jus put it all through on the net. couple of days later the order comes and u can jus sort out the orders in2 bags and deliver them and do the book thing all over again but this time u only need 2 leave them at houses that wanted another book. its great 4 a bit of xtra money but u dont get 2 much.

does any1 know any sydney work from home jobs that arent like your own business types like actually typing or sumthin on the computer 4 actual companies in the city or watever.

luv hailie

Hi All, I'm personally not running Market Research Groups anymore but if you visit my old website of www.cashforyouropinion.com.au I've got Market Research contacts listed for all states in Australia, Mystery Shopping websites listed, Online Survey websites listed, Work From Home Ideas listed, Freebie websites listed and Special Offers listed - and no I'm not charging you for the information.. Although if you wanted to buy something go to the Special Offers and feel free to browse.. At the moment there is an excellent deal where you get free movies for 2 weeks and you don't even have to leave home - to see this go the Special Offers page and then click on Movies and it will bring the offer up.. he he Sorry I've been sharing this one with all my friends.. Cheers, Mellie.

Have you tried finding wholesalers in China?
This is quite possibly the best way to go as the items are factory direct and well below wholesale prices!
It is sometimes hard getting in contact with the sales rep though!
The items are also high in quality! Cheap high quality products, the less YOU pay, and the more you sell them for, the bigger the profit!

Shop online
Many countries have systems already set up that you buy product from your own business and refer others if you think it could work for them.  If you would like more info on this let me know.  If you are looking for a business from home, make sure that you check out the companies financial history and credit rating.  You don't want to get stuck with a company who is going under.  I have a business that deals with a company who is debt free and in over 90 countries and its easy.  Contact me to find out more.

legit business opportunity - get paid for what you already do

I have been looking for something to do from home as well and I went thu tons of different web sites. Avon, Tupperware, Mary Kay are all great, but to a mother with kids that is staying at home are they really that useful??  So I came across one site in particular that caught my attention. For all those who's gonna say that I'm just trying to advertise my business, I want to say  that that is not what I'm trying to do. I'm sincerely trying to help those that not only want to make their homes safer by switching to better products that they already use in their homes, but to also have a chance to get paid for referring other people. It is not MLM and you dont need to run after people to get them signed up. You simply use the company's products yourself and get your own opinion and experience with those products and share this information with others, especially those that you know might benefit from those products. Not only they are going to save you money in the long run, you will be sure that your kids won't be breathings in any harmful fumes from the detergents you use or accidentally stick their little fingers into dishwashing liquid and try to lick it and then poison themselves to death. I'm sure a lot of you have heard about those things happening. You will have a personal mentor who will teach you how to so things, show you different approaches, help you set up your web site and much much more and it is all for free.

We all already shop for for laundry products, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, vitamins and nutritional supplements, cleaning products, candles,  and other household, personal care and home cleaning products each month. Let me show you today how you can switch stores and shop where I do for healthier, safer, more cost effective products for you and your family, with an OPTION to also earn an income revenue sharing with the company!   Imagine getting an income every time people you know shop at Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club, or your local grocery store, those stores do not allow you to revenue share and earn an income, but our store does.

For more information, check out my website and request more info- www.biz4stayathomemoms.com

 PS. It only takes 29$ to start, but they're having a great October promotion, so check it out. And it is 100% satisfaction guarantee - if you don't like it - return evrything for the full refund.

Just wanted to add.  There are many survey sites online, different ones for different countries.  In order to encourage participation many ofer reward schemes, these can be points that when collected can be converted to a cheque, or vouchers for local main street, or even internet shopping.  Well worth looking into and many only take 10-20 mins.  So two or three of those a day can be slightly profitable while keeping you occupied.

Real Home Employment
With todays technology it is not difficult to find an employer who will be happy to have you work from home.

Why?

It saves companies money in overheads to have you working from your own home office.

Depending on your skills there are a plethora of employment from home opportunities.

I am not talking about selling herbalife or hosting plastic partys. These jobs need real skills like:

Translation
Typing Data Entry
Telesales
Programming
Engineering
Help Desk
etc

The best way to find these jobs is via the Internet. Google is a good start.

Here are just a few links to get you started:

Help Desk
LiveOps: http://www.liveops.com/
VoiceLog: http://www.voicelog.com/careers.html
Work At Home Agent: http://www.workathomeagents.com/

Data Entry
Connect Plus: http://www.connect-dataplus.com/employ.shtml

Translation:
Languages Unlimited: http://www.languagesunlimited.com/recr.php

For the home teachers this one is a must.

Limu (teaching & tutoring, including hobbies): http://www.limu.com/pages/teach.html

If you want to make real money and have the joy of being home with the little ones then this may be the ticket.

Beware of the false promises and don't pay out up front costs for welcome packets and information CD's only to find out that someone from herbalife is calling wanting you to buy the product and call others to be sucked in.

If you want to know more about this subject or how to make a good espresso then send me a message and we can have a chat.

Thank you for these...I have saved them to favourites to browse later on.  I have been looking for four years for a work from home, and now that I get so tired so easily I would much prefer a home based job simply so that I can do more work - walking exhausts me a lot right now and I would have to walk to work, as well as dropping my daughter to pre-school.  I would be less productive, and that is a shame.
I hope that one of these either works out of the Uk or goes international.  Thanks again
Peace
