I am a single parent....I like other mothers would love t stay at home until my children start school. I am wondering if anyone else is working from home and what they do from home? I love being on the Net so that would be the best way for me. I was thinking about Medical Transcriptioning but I dont know much about how all of that works...I hear you have to find your own companies to d the transcripting for. I have thought about Mary Kay but I am looking for something I can do more over the net. And something I will not have to pay shipping for and all that. Any input or suggestions would be great.

Hi,

I found this medical transcriptioning website on yahoo hotjobs and although i haven't tried it myself, i did recommend this to a friend of mine and she finds it wonderful. there is an initial cost for the software but that's all, as far as i know. the associates are very helpful and it's a work from home job. the website is below, take a look:

I am also a single mom who faced having to find a way to make money after my divorce but kept me home to be there for my kids. I ended up becoming a registered in home day care provider and watch other children while I get to also spend time with my own. It's nice to be paid to do the same arts and crafts I'd be doing anyway and my kids have friends to play with everyday.

I'm not sure if this is available to you in the area that you are in but there is a company called Housewarmers. It's a franchise that is fairly new and they are looking for people in certain locations. It is a welcoming service. You can get more information on their website: http://www.housewarmerscorp.com/.
Also, if you have any questions or want some information about Mary Kay just let me know. I have been a consultant since August 2004
Hope this helps.

Do not start Mary Kay. Bad Bad idea!!!
I wanted to make a little more money and ended up with $2000 of inventory sitting on my shelf. No one is interested in Mary Kay. There are way to many women selling it. They strive on building up the company. There are over 800,000 women world wide that are active consultants. In my family alone, Both of my sister-in-laws have been consultants at some time in their lives. They don't like it anymore and their clients have switched cosmetics, so it makes it very hard for me to find someone they haven't already approached. I now have my own business. I am a certified child care provider. I have an in-home day care and love it. Good luck to you.

Hi E.,

I have been looking for the exact same thing. I have a 3 month old daughter and am struggling with the idea of putting her in daycare. You are not going to believe this, but 2 days ago I FOUND THE ANSWER TO "OUR" PRAYERS. I would love to talk to you for about 20 minutes. This is a plan I now will work for you and it addresses all of your issues. This would be perfect for you. It is internet work/shopping, it is drop shipped directly to the person making the purchase and you can make a great income without having home parties. I have a friend in Oklahoma and this is working very well for her. Please contact me so that I can share this Great Opportunity with you. I look forward to hearing from you.

I looked into doing medical transcription when I was pregnant with my son 5 years ago. There was a program that took several months to complete, but could be done completely from home. As part of my research into it, I contacted someone who does this for a living to get her feedback. She told me that anyplace that will hire you to do the work from home will require you to have at least 2 yrs experience transcribing at a hospital or similar first. So it seems that you really have to put in the time and get the experience before being pregnant. Or have a long term plan for staying home, not expect it to happen right away.

So there's what I know about it, I hope it is a little bit helpful! Good luck!

Well I just finished with my medical transcription classes and it is very time consuming. It is something that I have learned is very time consuming. When doctors need a report, they need it very quickly... Just thought you would like to know. If you are still interested, check out Penn Foster's Medical Transcription program.

Hi E....
I too am a single mother of a 13 month old and needed more money to live on than I was bringing in. Two months ago I saw an opportunity to make money without taking time away from my son and I am having a blast doing it.

I can be very skeptical and so I actually flew out to California to check out the company... I loved them, loved the wines... loved the whole concept... so far everyone loves it. Basically what I do is sample incredible limited-production wines and throw parties (wine tastings) for a living. As I said, I am new at this... but so far I love it! I am getting ready to build my first level team and looking for a strong, fun group of women... if it is something you might be interested you can reach me on my cel ###-###-#### or check out my website at: www.ExclusiveWineTastings.com What ever you decide I wish you luck in your search!

K. & Rhys (my 13 month y/o son)

Hi E.,
I wanted to respond to your email and give you just a little info on my home based business. First of all, I don't blame you one bit. I have been a single mother myself and have been in your shoes. I worked corporate for 10 years and had a baby in March, so I decided to not go back to work. I had already started my business part time, but it was already doing well, so I pursued it full time. I'm making about $2000 per month, and it grows monthly. Very soon I will be making $6,000-$10,000 per month, and it will continue to increase. I work 10-15 hrs a week. My sales have increased 800% since June.
I am an independent consultant with Arbonne International. You said you were interested in something you can do over the net. I do a lot of my business over the net. We have an excellent website for new consultants and customers. Arbonne is a multi level marketing company, but that is a good thing. You receive residual income on everyone's sales in your downline.
Arbonne is booming!! We're a 25 year old company, that in the last 4 years has shown unbelievable growth. The reason for that is the Health and Wellness industry itself is booming. People want a safe, natural product that works. Arbonne is it! We grew 150% just in 2005.
If this has piqued your curiousity at all, i'd love to give you more information. What do you have to lose?

Sincerely,
J. C.
