Looking for a Job That I Can Do on the Computer at Home

I know this is late but I wanted to mention that Good Morning America did a series on working from home. Here's one of the businesses they cited:
http://www.arise.com/content/index.asp

I have no experience with them at all. I do web design and graphic design from home. It's taken me almost two years to get to the point where I'm actually making money though. Just wanted to chime in!

L., I'm a new stay at home mom and I wanted to make some money working from home but didn't know what to do until I found this company on line. They have been in business for over 21 years and a part of the Better Business Beuearu. I would love to tell you more about it. If you are interested please give me a call at ###-###-####.

Thanks, S. Sattler

I'm a little late with my response L. but I have a great opportunity. I've been doing it for four months. Read what I've written for you and then email me or respond on here! I live next door in Idaho and trust me, check out some of the advice I have given out and if you feel I am the kind of person who would "scam" another mom, then forget what I am telling you...but if you see that I am a caring, giving person you'll see why I'm willing to offer this: email me using the email I've given and if you remember, in the subject line type mama source so I know what it's about!
Hi everyone! Long time no hear! I don’t know if ANYONE remembers me but I was a fairly regular commenter and even posted my own problems back in November and December. My name is J. and I’m from Idaho. I want to tell you the reason I haven’t been signed on to MamaSource.com for all of these months. I am newly widowed; just lost my husband not too long ago. Due to the manner in which he passed (suicide) there was no life insurance for me and my two daughters. This was doubly bad because not only do I not work outside of the home due to the fact that I have a pancreatic disease I was born with and it causes several serious problems which make it necessary for me to be at home, but both of our daughters have the disease also. They were both born with it and are also very ill. Things were not looking good for us. My monthly income was not even enough to cover our house let alone the car payment, orthodontist payment, regular utilities and all of the other “normal” things it takes to live. I was worried. I had no idea of what I was going to do. I sold one of our vehicles, sold my husband’s tools and then I had nothing more to sell.
I muddled around looking through the thousands of web pages that promised me “thousands in your first month” and I was never really impressed. Either it was way over my head or it sounded like a scam and usually it was. I knew one thing; I had to find something FAST! Then I heard about surveys. I heard from a few people who were making a lot of money doing surveys. So I thought well I could do that. I have opinions and I am at least a bit literate on the computer. So did some research and got registered with about 150+ survey companies most of them promised $25 - $50 to even $75 per survey. I waited and waited for those surveys to start pouring in and I was just calculating in my head how much money I was going to rake in.
Problem was the surveys came but not the surveys for $75, $50 or even $25. I got a couple worth $3 but I was getting hundreds a week that were worth “points”. Oh, I know with enough points you can trade them in for wonderful little prizes and even some you can trade for cash. Where were all of these surveys everyone was talking about I wondered. I was told to continue registering with more and more companies. I even found some “secret” companies who don’t advertise but I found out that it can take several months of completing the “points” surveys before you even qualify for the money ones, that’s IF you qualify.
I cried again for a couple of days and then told myself that there HAD to be something out there. I knew there was. I had heard so many wonderful success stories. I thought perhaps EBay or Google were my answers but after ordering the kits to get you started on those businesses, I found that I just didn’t know enough to start those. It would take some extra computer classes just to learn the “lingo”.
I was just about ready to give it up. I was about ready to attempt to open a daycare or something. Bring in just enough kids to make a living but not too many so that it would disrupt the lives of my children who were trying to get their school work done here everyday.
Then one day I was reading my email and I received the piece of mail I’d been waiting for. It was from a lady who had heard I’d been looking for a way to earn a living online. I wasn’t out to get rich but just earn a living. She gave me the opportunity to purchase from her a manual she had put together about a new form of “trading” on the internet that people are making anywhere from $500 a month to $5000 a month, depending how much time you want to spend. Spend a couple hours a day a couple days a week and you can make $1,000 a month. Spend about 5-6 hours a day a few days a week and you can earn $5,000 a month. This is no joke and it’s no scam. I’ve been doing it for a few months now and I’m here to tell you IT DOES WORK. It is legal, it is actually fun, you meet a lot of people and best of all, people come to you, willing to pay you to do something for them! They offer anywhere from $20 per job to $75 per job. A single job can be finished in 20-30 minutes. They usually pay you immediately through your paypal account, which if you don’t know what that is, it’s sort of like a bank account online.
For the remainder of the story, email me and I will forward it to your email! Trust me, you won’t regret this. I bought the manual, you don’t have to, I will send it to you free of charge! Email me now!!! ____@____.com

Hi L.,
If you are wanting extra money just for the holidays, I would suggest trying a department or retail store. Many of them hire people just for the holiday season and most likely you could work around your girls' schedule.

If you wanted something to work from home on a long term basis, you would have to research out companies that offered jobs at home, or companies that offered businesses you can work from home.

I own my own business from home and really enjoy the flexibilitly (an fun :-)) it offers. You can check out my website at www.nebraskamom.com

Hope some of this helps!

Hi L.:

I think this time of year we're all looking for something extra. It finally hits us about now that we really would love to make a slight change in our financial situation.
I do most all my work on the computer, however, I am also talking with people too because it is such a fantastic opportunity for lifelong change.
I am a mom of three children, 11, 7 and 3. I am crazy busy and this has been such an opportunity for me to be home with them yet bringing in an income.
Check out my website: http://tinamccomb.stayinhomeandlovinit.com go to "get more info" and I'll personally get in touch with you. Nobody else will be calling you so you don't have to worry about that.

Anxious to talk with you !!!

I work for West Corp here in Omaha, but I am doing it from home as an independant contractor.
It is inbound calls that are being routed to your home phone. It has to be completely quiet in the background though.
I do it only when my husband is home, but just by working 2 hours here and there I can make some extra pocket money.
Please let me know if you are interested and I can let you know where to apply.

I run an ebay store from home. I don't make a lot of money at it yet, but I am still new at doing it. I really enjoy it. http://stores.ebay.com/dreamzandthingz I make jewelry and then post it for sale, when the kids grow out of an item, i post that for sale if its in good cond.

:-)

Check into doing medical transcription from home. Start with the Health Information Dept at your local hospital or Doctors office. They should be able to steer you in the right direction. I know a lady who has been doing this for 30+ years and has done pretty well with it!!

Good Luck!

I just started a avon buisness which you can now do on line and so far ive made 500.00 in a two week spam so if you want to know more e mail me at ____@____.com

I would NOT do the surveys, they take A ton of time and. I made I think $5. in a month of doing it full time. My husband is a contractor and most of his friends and family are as well. If you are a math wiz and know books,and have Secretairy skills. there is a huge market for people doing finances for contractors at home. Go to local businesses and tell them that you do temp. Sec. services like typing letters etc. Talk to people at your church and your friends family, the more people you tell the more business you will get.
Hope this helps

I would be happy to talk to you about my home-based business if you are interested in listening. I shop from home for all of my supplies, clothing, anything you buy at the store other than fresh food you can buy from your own business and get paid for it. I also have my internet, cable tv, and phones that I purchased through my business and get paid to use. I also talk to people like yourself and ask if I can take time to show them my business and sign them up. It is not a triangle business as those are illegal. Anyway, let me know if I can help you. My email address ____@____.com

I work for a company called www.workathomeunited.com/momof3forever we are partenred with a company called Melaleuca. This company is great the products are safe and healthy for your family. If you are interested I would love to share more just email me back and let me know.

Hi L.

I see my response is VERY late, however, I am a new member to this forum.
I thought it would be worth sharing a website with you that has provided me the ability to work from home with legit companies.
The website is sohojobs.org
They are a great tool for companies to post jobs they have for people to work from their home, and a great tool for people like us who want to work from our home.

It is a wonderful resource tool. I encourage you to visit their site and sign up for their newsletter.
They even post "scams" on their site also!!

Let me know if you have questions. I have been hired by several different companies in the past year and find it to be the best place to go when you want to do work from your home.

Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I am here to help :o)

I do a lot of my job at home on the computer. I do go out a night a week to do a cooking show, but it is a nice break! I love it!

L.,

Would you be interested in a home based business such as a network marketing company? I have a home based business which I'm very successful with and have a team of successful moms. It is internet based as well.

I've surpassed my income as a registered nurse with this opportunity. I would be happy to email you the company as well as the website to view if you would like to take note of that.

If I can be of help let me know!

Thanks,

I don't have anything to recommend you, because I have been looking for such a job myself. I have noticed though that everything online, well that I have come acrossed anyway, you have to invest in to get started. And I just can't figure out why they would call that a job, if you have to pay them to get started. I don't know, maybe its because I'm looking to make money, not to give it to them. I'm with you, which ones are for real. Well If you find one, feel free to let me in on the secret. thanks chris
