I am a stay home mom of a 2 1/2 year old daughter. My daughter had a heart transplant in March, so I naturally quit my full time job to be with her. She is doing very well now, so I want to get working again! Unfortunately, even though she is doing well, the doctors won't clear her to go back to daycare because of her suppressed immune system and I'm certainly not taking any chances! I want to hear about some work at home opportunties. I don't mind sales - in fact I have a lot of background in sales. I don't mind doing parties - it would get me out of the house and talking to adults! :) I realize there will be a start up cost, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg (I haven't been working the last year!). I know there are lots of great opportunites out there - I want to talk with consultants of various types companies before I decide what I want to do. If you are a consultant with anything like Arbonne, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Southern Living, etc, etc...I know there are too many to list... I want to talk to you! The only one I know I don't like is Mary Kay - sorry ladies, don't really like the products. I am serious about doing something though, but want to make an informed decision. Let me know some specifics like start up cost, potential income, training methods, if inventory needs to be bought, minimum sales needed, ease of selling the products, and how much fun you are having with your company! I want to hear about it, so send me a message if you have some good info. Also, I would like to hear from anyone who has worked for any of these type of companies and had a bad experince too. Thanks ladies!
After reviewing the opportunities out there I have decided to be a Tupperware Consultant! I am very excited to get started and am having my open house party on Nov 4 - Sunday. If anyone in the area is interested in coming, send me a message - the more the merrier!! You can check out my website at www.my2.tupperware.com/laraiezzi
Hi L.,
I am a consultant for Southern Living at Home and I love it. The product basically sells itself and the start up is so low! The parties are fun and you get to meet a lot of great people. There is a lot of support to help you get started and it is just so easy!! If you want to learn more my email is ____@____.com. Thanks!
Hi L.,
Wow, it sounds like you've had some challenging times! I admire anyone who faces adversity and keeps on going. I'm sure an experience like yours also helps keep life in perspective and how health and family should be the priority.
I would love to talk with you too. There are a lot of great opportunities to work from home and you are asking all the right questions. It's good to investigate and then choose what works best for you and something you can become passionate about. After all, there's a million things out there to sell, but I feel it's important at the end of the day you feel like you are creating or contributing to a better world in the process.
My business is a virtual greeting card store that allows people to send real, physical cards for much less than Hallmark or cards you'll find at the drugstore. You also have the ability to personalize them with your own pictures, handwriting font and signatures. You can literally send a card in less than 2 minutes (from your computer) and Send Out Cards will print, stuff and mail your envelope with a first class stamp for around $1. There are 12,000 cards to choose from, plus the ability to create and upload your own, which I find fun because I am a graphic artist and enjoy being creative.
Send Out Cards is based on the "Law of Attraction" which is basically what you send out is what you attract back to you. I have found that since I've started sending out an unexpected card every day expressing gratitude, appreciation, or acknowledgement to another person, is that I'm suddenly attracting all the right people into my life and strengthening and deepening the relationships I have currently.
Companies are finding that they need to build relationships to stay in business and my company helps them do that. I position myself as a "Relationship Marketing Consultant" and show them how to use this system as the perfect "Follow-up Tool" that can be used to increase their business, referrals, and customer loyalty.
There is no need to have parties (unless you really wanted to), there is no inventory to keep. I enjoy networking and going to different groups to meet people and these are usually in the evening. There's a lot of great ways to do the business without physically leaving your house and I can share them with you. Everything can be done via phone and internet.
I wake up excited every day and enjoy every minute of my "business". In fact, I am phasing out my freelance graphic design and direct mail consulting activities so I can pursue this business full time. Not to mention, the daily shot of happiness I get by sending out a smile to someone.
L., I wish you much success in finding the right business for you. May I suggest a free e-book that I wished I would have read before I got started. It helped me positively impact my network marketing methods. It answers that nagging question: "Why does network marketing sound so good in theory... yet never seem to play out that way in practice?

L.,
I am a consultant for Arbonne and LOVE it. I have met some really good friends doing the business and attending the monthly meetings for product information and training. We do not do a lot of parties really but there will be an informational meeting - NO STRINGS ATTACHED - I believe next weekend at a winery in Frisco. The one bit of advice that I received when thinking about doing something like this was to make sure it was a product that would need to be replenished such as makeup, cleansers and vitamins. Sure other things like jewelry, kitchen items and home decor are great but they are a one time purchase...makes sense. I am not saying that you would not love doing any of these but it is a thought.
I also have a friend who has a credit repair business and he works from home - he is looking for additional people to expand. I can give you his e-mail address and he can talk to you a little. I also have a part time job working from home with Google. It is nice to be able to do something to keep the brain working...
I do Isagenix, which is a health & Wellness cleansing program. I had no intention of doing it, until I lost weight REALLY quickly and everyone started asking me what I was doing. It took off like a rocket, I couldn't believe it. You don't keep any inventory, unless you chose to. You sign them up and then they get their own website and their off from there. I try to continue to help if they need it, but not many do, b/c it's really easy.
They are the fastest growing health & wellness company right now and their products are top of the line.
Check out my website www.kristinestell.isagenix.com and watch the Isavideos. Call me or email me ###-###-####, ____@____.com.
I don't know what "circles" you travel in, but if you, and/or any of your contacts are interested in their health, and making money, I may have a wonderful opportunity for you. My website is www.MakeMoneyWhileYouParty.com and I sell a liquid vitamin and mineral supplement called Vemma, that tastes great, and has more antioxidants than anything else on the market. It has changed my life, I feel younger, stronger, and never get sick! I wish you the very best!

Hi, L.!
Please call me! I share your concerns about your daughter's health, as we are not able to take our son to daycare full-time, either.
I will be homoe this afternoon, from 12:30ish to 5:30, and the majority of the time this week. My phone number is ###-###-####.
You can also check out my website www.livetotalwellness.com/J. . The site will show you how the products we market HELP people live better, safer, healthier lives. The greatest thing about the company we work with is that while we get to meet lots of new people, we do NOT stock, sell, or deliver the products! We simply enroll new customers with the company.
I'm looking forward to working with you!
~J.~
