Working at home jobs?

What kind of work from home jobs are there? Working stay at home moms, I could really use your input....?

  • I'm a stay at home mom and was wondering what kind of jobs i could do and stay home during the day to watch my kids. I know there are those surveys, online stuff, but have been nervous to try them, in case they were scams. If you work from home and do online stuff i'd like to know what online sites are truely legit. Appreciate any helpful advice...

  • Answer:

    Your not going to find a 'job' to work from home. My suggestion to you is to start your own home based business. There are plenty of things you can start up and get involved in. I created a blog on home based business's on my 360 page. You can go take a look at a couple different ideas for you. If you find something that interests you, then contact the person that posted it. Most home based business's cost under $500 to start. Some cost more, depending on what you want to start. I can't say which one would be right for you, so go ahead and take a look at them. Good luck!

There are a ton of work at home options. There are jobs that you can do from home, there is telecommuting, and then as was suggested, starting a home based business. The first and best place to look is at http://www.wahm.com That site has a TON of information on every kind of work at home job you can think of. Browse that site a little, read their forums and you'll get some good ideas on what is legit, what is a scam, what works and what doesn't. Some ideas that come to mind that you can do are: virtual assistant, day care/babysitting, direct sales/home parties, Blogging about a subject you love (take some time to build income, but it is possible). I'm a single (recently divorced) Stay at Home Mom, and I found my niche in direct sales. I don't recommend that for everyone, but it works for me. I don't want a job that I do at home, for a boss; I want my own business where I set my own hours, decide when I want to work, how much money I want to make, etc. When I was looking for what to do and asking much the same questions you are asking, I went directly to the http://www.wahm.com site. I think you'll find it very helpful in your search. Best wishes!

ALL FREE information.

Don't listen to Bonquisha. I've been looking for the same thing as you for some time now, and I'm sorry to say that there's no such thing as an easy way to earn money while working at home.

Well, I was looking for work from home jobs after losing my job a few years back. I started with paid surveys and joined free survey sites. Guess what? I was horrified to find my email account spammed with thousands of mails daily - and they are not emails asking you to take surveys but emails asking you to buy this and that. It was then that I realised how most free survey sites make money - they sell your personal info to 3rd parties! I decided then to join a legitimate survey program to have access to a huge list of survey sites. I tried 8 in all - paid surveys etc, survey scout, express paid surveys, survey hawk .. I can't remember all their names. Only one of them work well for me --- Maximum Paid Surveys. You may wish to try it if you are interested. Inside the program it is 760 legitimate survey and shopping mystery companies that are guaranteed to pay. You need to sign up with as many companies if you want to have more survey opportunities. the surveys just keep flooding into my email account after I joined for a few months and I can now choose the ones with higher payouts and rewards. Please note that you can't get rich with paid surveys but you can certainly earn a good secondary source of income. I earned an additional $1300 last month working about 2 hours daily filling up survey forms. Not too bad if you ask me! If you visit the site, make sure you watch the free video on the top left hand corner. The video explains everything you need to know about how to make money with online paid surveys. http://maximum-paidsurveys.com

If you're looking for a work from home JOB (not a home based business), there are lots of companies who hire for call center type positions. And don't listen to the nay-sayers who say work from home and telecommuting jobs are all scams or that there aren't real jobs. There are. You just have to know where to look and how to avoid the scams. Do NOT pay for a list of jobs or pay to get a job. There are a few of the legitimate companies that, after you have qualified for the job, ask you to pay for a background check if you will be handling sensitive information like credit cards. It's usually $20-$30 and from legitimate companies is a legit fee to pay. Other than that, there is no reason or need to pay anything if you just want a job. Some of the call center jobs, you are an independent contractor (IC) and some you are an employee. If you want to start a home based business, there will be fees involved and business expenses. There are many legit business opportunities out there in direct sales, multi-level and network marketing. There are great companies to work with, but having a business isn't for everyone. For info on jobs, you can check out this comparison chart from RatRaceRebellion.com - it shows a huge list of companies, their requirements, pay, where they are etc. http://www.ratracerebellion.com/CS_Comparison.html Also, check out the telecommuting forums at WAHM.com and WorkPlaceLikeHome.com

The one my fiance and I work with is http://JoshBell.lawnchairmillionaire.com It's pretty easy but it does require a starting fee, i know from experience however that it really does pay you, this is one of the few sites that hasn't stiffed us. If you are good at graphics there's www.cafepress.com that's free...it's not a huge income bringer but it's legit and free.
