Hi Moms!
I am a SAHM and have been for 7 years!My Husband is a firefighter,so it's hard for me to work around his schedule,church and the kids activities to get a job.I have been searching for a work from home idea for years but everything just seems to be a scam!I have tried selling products for a company and frankly I am just not cut out for that!I want something that I can do at home,(maybe online) to make extra money.I have heard there are such jobs!I don't mind if it's something as simple as stuffing envelopes and has little pay.I just want something to make a little extra money and be able to do it from my home while the older kids are at school or the kids are in bed.Does anyone know where I can find such a thing?I have had no luck and gave up a long time ago!And please no consultant suggestions!Thanks,C.

If you have an undergraduate degree and or grad degree you may be able to get on with an on-line tutoring company. I work for Brainfuse and it has been a very good experience.

Contact me and I will help you SAVE money in ways you may never have thought about, in amounts like having a second income for your family. You can cut your grocery/necessity bill in half - easily saving $250-$500 per month! I get tons of stuff free, from laundry soap and fabric softner, to shampoo and conditioner, body wash and razors, to canned goods and cereal. This is NOT a scam. I have been doing it for over a year, and it still amazes me at the stuff I get for free or really cheap - like feminine products and diapers and wipes!!

we go around and collect aluminum... cans (we smash them down to flatter) we also collect old gutters from houses be torn down.... also other types of metals.. we go to the recycling center - the ones that pay you.. once a month.. we usually collect about $600. tax free.... we do turn in a lot of metal... it's great... we have a pick up truck... you would need one.. or work with a friend.. and split the money... it's really easy to do..

I don't have any ideas for you as I am searching myself. I just wanted to wish you luck.

On a side note, I also wanted to ask Rachel. If your idea is not a scam, why won't you just tell us? Why does anyone have to contact you privately? I personally would not contact someone that isn't willing to tell all about her great ideas.

I found the perfect work from home job a couple of months ago. I am still working full-time, but hope to be working exclusively from home some day. It has been a life saver because I’m able to get some extra money by putting in a couple hours a week. You can work at your own pace and make your family’s schedule BEFORE your work schedule. Let me know if you are interested and we can talk more.

I am in the same boat, but I already have a job. I would LOVE to be able to quit my job and work at home, but I have been there, done that. Seems most places want money to start (even good ones like Avon) or they pay very little for doing lots of work.
My husband has just started messing around with MLM (Multi Level Marketing, I think), so hopefully that will help.
If you find something that works, let me know.

Hi C., My husband and I both own sucessful businesses but also sell online vitamins, which are easy to sell since everyone should be taking vitamins! Check it out: http://www.YummyLiquidVitamins.com The company has been in business for 15 years and it is not a scam. You already have friends, family, church, etc so you have a client base already. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!

I worked for 11 years for a copy who went bankrupt. I was unable to find another job until I called someone who had an ad on their car. I figured scam but was at a low point with no job in site. I talked to the person and then sat in on a 30 minute webcast. I am so glad I made that call as I now am a marketing consultant for that company. The company has been around over 20 years and is debt free (a big deal for me with my background) and the products I refer people to use are bio-degradable, eco friendly and better for my family. They are not luxury items but products I use everyday in my home. And the team that I am part of? Wow - the training and support I get from the company are very amazing. I love the company, the product, the work I do and most definitely my compensation.

So anyone who would like to do what I did and take only 30 minutes to look at a webcast for a potential money making job - let me know!!!

Ladies, look in to part time merchandising. It is really a decent job. There is so many out there that I never thought about. Greeting Cards for one. Lays Chips, Pepsi, Revlon. They are so easy to go into stores and stock merchandise. They give you so many hours and so many visits a week to do the job. Inventory comes in the back room of most WM or Target stores.
You fill out applications through an online website of the company. Sometimes doing a search for Hallmark or Revlon will have career options for your area. It adds up........ Good luck.

It isn't much, but you could easily get $100 per month by doing surveys, clicking links, and filling out offers in your spare time. It's kind of fun too.
