Well you put it out here so you'll be recruited for all the MLM's and direct selling people recruiting for their team. If you like investing, recruiting, having parties, hard selling.... then go for it.

Most at home money jobs are not legit so please don't invest in something until you have done a thorough research.

Think outside the box... what are you good at, what do you like to do? You have a 2 month old and he needs your attention. If you are working from home, many companies require you to have child care because you can't have dogs barking and babies crying in the background while you are on the phone.

Remember if you are asked to pay anything then it is a scam. You don't pay some company to have the benefit of working for them.

What about nights/weekends or some schedule you can work parttime while your hubby takes care of the baby... grocery stocker, starbucks, etc.

Good luck

I have had a few moms in my daycare that worked for companies answering phones or working from home. It always requires phone work of some kind no matter what the job. I have to tell you they still had to put their child in daycare because the companies that really pay you as an employee will not put up with children crying and talking in the background. They also won't put up with television in the background. These moms told me that they had to mute their tv every time they took a call. They had to treat it like a real job, signing in and staying right there with everything they do recorded via computer.

Somehow I don't think you have months and months to create a blog and build up a following. I've been blogging about daycare for 6 years. I've had 10,000 hits on my page, but 3000 of those are my own. 7000 unique visitors in 6 years isn't enough to sell ads.

Daycare is a possibility. I don't know how many children you are allowed without a license in Florida. You need to check that out and then see if your home will qualify for licensing in order to make a decent living if unlicensed isn't going to work.

sell on ebay or craigslist..get rid of the clutter in your life and start making it work for you by selling it on ebay. if you haven't used or touched it in six months and it's not a Christmas decoration - get rid of it.

look on craigslist for telecommuting jobs. if you have to pay to get a list or anything like that - it's a scam.

there are actually a lot of legit companies that offer telecommute jobs (work at home), mostly in the technical and customer service fields. Remember for this to work for you, you will need a computer, a land-line phone and a quiet working space for a certain amount of hours each working day. Good luck!

Well, what are your skills? I provide free knitting patterns (I design them and they are copyrighted... but I know for a fact that there are many sites that link to free patterns/tutorials on the net) on my blog and make about 30 dollars a month from my patterns/tutorials. I also just started a pet blog linking to free tutorials that I like on the net. It is actually a money drain right now because of the time I waste on it but as I said it is a pet blog.

If you know how to sew or craft start up a blog, write up some tutorials, get on yourtube with tutorials and make money that way. I have several girlfriends that make quite a bit with blogging crafts they have their kids make/memory book ideas...

If you go this route I can send you to several places to get ads that pay well.
