Well, I have been thinking alot about staying home with my childrens because I feel I miss out on alot especially with my 10 month old who just starting walking. I want to be there. I was wondering if anyone knew of a real way to make money at home. I have tried answering those work at home ads but i havent found anything that is for real... Please let me know I've also tried selling avon but to be truthful I cant make enough money doing that.

I joined the MOM's team not too long ago and it's great. You work from home as much or as little as you want. The business has been around for 22years and has been very successful every year. Last year, they made over $783 million. There are special perks for working with them, like discounts at Nike, Target, Circuit City and more. Anyway, it isn't a scam, and that's the best part. Contact me if you want more info. Just to let you know, some mom's do this as their full time job, others as part time, and some just to help them get out of debt, but you can make a lot of money.

HI There. I am a WFHM and I love it! One year ago, I had a baby and returned back to my corporate job after 6 weeks. I was devastated to leave my baby with a stranger and knew I had to do something to be with her. Finally, after 9 months, I found part time work I can do from home and became a member of a team of LOCAL moms whose mission is to help other moms work from home. It’s called the M.O.M. team (moms on a mission!) Everything I do is from my computer. I can put as much or little time in as I want. The company has provided me with my own website, training, and a constant support system from other moms. The best thing is, I can be home with my children all day and still make money! Please check out my website and call/e-mail me if you would like more info. There is no inventory, no parties, no RISK! No big investment! Good Luck!

I have a link that is massive. I have went through it and know that all companies on there are legitimate. Have been researching this for years now. I can send it to you, but bit of advice, never ever pay for a job. There are the ones that you sell things, but if your not a salesperson, then those just don't work. I do several different things and make a few here and there. Not really looking for much work right now, but I know where it is if I need it.

If you would like info and leads you can go to www.wahm.com/forum and click on telecommuting moms. If it is posted there it is not a scam and lots come to ask if things are scams and the ladies there are very nice and quick to help.

Yes there are. The trouble for me was finding one that did not require a start up cost and that did not work. I found a job with verafast as a call center. This allow me to be at home with my little one. I don't make a ton of money but at least its something. If you are interested go to www. verafast.net. Click on the opportunikties ling on the upper right corner of the screen. All the info is there. No start up cost. No selling or recuiting! I work doing telephone surveys. Very easy work to do. I have already received two checks, so this is very ligitimate. Good luck in finding something.

E.,

I have the perfect opportunity for you. Have you ever considered scrapbooking? Well, this is not exactly your traditional scrapbooking. The name of the company is preservingmylegacy.com and the whole idea is about helping families preserve their heritage through a concept called storybooking. With the high use of digital cameras, it is so perfect. Basically, you give some one access to a website and they are able to uplaod their pictures and create digital scrapbooks (storybooks) You can still have all the creativity as you would with traditional scrapbooking, but you don't have the mess nor is it as time consuming. I am a finanical planner by profession but I use to paper scrapbook and when I stumbled across this I was so excited as I started getting away from scrapbooking because of the time commitmemt. The GREAT thing about this is that you can work from home and on your own terms. The income is based on you and how much you are willing to work. But, trust me you won;t think you are working because you'll be having too much fun. Just think you will be able to help so many families preserve their memories and more importantly pass their heritage on to their kids and grandkids through these stories. Hopefully, I haven't overwhelmed you, but please visit the site at www.preservingmylegacy.com and search on the project gallery to see some of the finished books. Also, even though I am in Texas, I can still work with you as there are no teriitorial limits.

Thanks,
S.

Hi E.,

I definitely know where you're coming from, because that's exactly how I feel. I also have 2 kids, a 4 year old boy and a 1 year old girl. I have tried a whole bunch of stuff and nothing seems to really be what am looking for.

However, I do mystery shopping and some paid surveys on the side. It helps out a lot. I also just recently joined the Avon for women network and it looks promising. you can check out my business at www.youravon.com/asalami

Please let me tell you about Arbonne. I know you said you had tried Avon, but I think there are two main differences: (1)you decide your start up costs and (2) compensation really is great! Take a look at my website at www.rachaelmccone.myarbonne.com...it will give you all of the information. It has the average monthly compensation levels for the company. I have a great team -- christian based women looking for the same thing you are.

I'm a fulltime mom that wants to work from home and in just 3 months, I'm amazed at the income I'm already generating through this business. Plus, south Arkansas is WIDE OPEN. I'm from Monticello and there is no one building an Arbonne business down there.

I hope you will check out the website and give me a call or send me an email. This is business is right for some and not for others, but I'd love to tell you about it so you have all the information as you make your decision.

I've been in the same boat you are. I have a 7 monh old, and feel like I'm missing out on everything. I leave in teh morning when he wakes up and when we get home, it's time for his bottle and bed. I've put alot of time into researching out at home businesses for moms. The only legit-money making job I can find is a telecommute job. Alot of companys(not WAH) hire telecommuters (with the experience their looking for) to work at home. I live in Houston, and there's alot of comp. that hire PT/FT Admin. Asst. to work from home telecommuting. Look on career websites. that's your best bet. Good luck!
