Hello, My name is T. and I am a single mom. I am looking for a job I can work from home. Is there anyone out there that can help me? I was laid off 4 months ago and things are getting really tight. I've looked into some businesses but they ended up as scams. I could really use any help and information you may have for me. Thank you.

So What Happened?

I am so touched by the number of responses I had. I did not leave much info regarding my situation but I'm in a real bad spot. I'm a single mom with an 8 yr. old daughter and we will be evicted next month if I don't start bringing in an income. Trying to find work has been challenging so I have turned my focus to making money from home. I have received some really great leads and even better... a great amount of support. Thank you everyone so much for your help. I will definitely keep you posted with my search and would still love to hear about any work I can o from home. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much !!! ;)

If you haven't found the right work from home yet, let me know. I found mine a couple of months ago. I'm not making millions (yet!! haha), but its helping us save money and make money right now. I still have my full-time job and someday I may be working from home completely. But for now, this works!

Check out the forum at workplacelikehome.com There is a lot of information there about different job leads you can do from home.

Here are some things you can do for extra cash until you find a real job,
If you like to write you can supplement your income at Associated Content. Also check out Demand Studios, Textbroker, and Suite 101, WordGigs, Ezine Articles, and Hubpages.

If you like to blog or want to get into blogging, check the The Niche Blogger program at http://www.thenicheblogger.com/amember/go.php?r=3549&....
You do have to pay to join, it's 19.95 a month but you can have a free trial to see what it's about. I love this program, Amy, the owner, walks you through what you need to do step by step. You don't need any knowledge about blogging or websites to get started. Also, what is great about this program is that you know it works because it is something that she actually does herself. She started 2 years ago and now she makes $5,000 a month from her blogs. Lot's of other people also make a full time income following the steps in her program.

Also, check out KGB or ChaCha.com. Neither will give you a full time income, but it can help supplement your income. These are great because it requires no phone work and you can set your own schedule up.

Check out www.TreasureTrooper.com/minella I made 58$ in January and I did about an hour ever week night while I was watching TV. It's free to do and it's a very easy way to make extra money. I think of it as a hobby that makes me money.

If you have Facebook, check out http://cloudcrowd.com/i/65abd6 They offer tasks for you to do. I've heard it's very easy. I don't have any personal experience with it yet, but I am starting it today. But I have heard good things about it.

There is also Amazon Mturk. It's where you get paid to do simple tasks. It's a great way to earn extra money. If you like to look for products online or help other people find good deals on items, check out IMShopping, you can get money for answering peoples questions.

There are also at home call center jobs, such as West at Home and Live Ops.

If you keep an eye on my blog at www.makemoneyonline.tonoftips.net I list a few ways to make extra cash online. They are all things that I have experience with and are legit.

You can sign up to test websites. Check out userlytics or usertesting. They both pay 10 dollars per test and take about 10 minutes to complete. I signed up with both, but have only done a test with Userlytics. It was very easy and they paid the next day.

Hi T..
I too looked for a long time. I finally found a company that did it right. I would love to chat further with you to see if you are fit for my team and to see if my business is a fit for you. Also, looking at so many I have learned a ton so you can at least pick my brain about working from home. My BIGGEST reccomendation is look at each business a few times. Don't register for anything the first time you look at it. If they are pressuring you too, remember you will have to pressure others. Go home and sleep on it. Check the business out on the better business bereau.
If you would like more info let me know.

Hi T.,
I am sorry about your job. It took me about 8 months to find a legitimate work at home job. Please be careful of google adwords and mystery shopping - these are some bad opportunities that I got lured into.. I have been working with Work At Home United for four months and I love the work that I am doing. I get to help others create a healthier home for their families and get to help other moms get their businesses started. I do not have to sell or distribute products or have home parties and until Wednesday, March 17th it is just $1 to get started. Please contact me at ____@____.com so that I can get you all the details.

Hi T.:
Good for you for reaching out to others for help. There are many in your situation and it is hard to know what businesses are legitimate. Stick with established companies, those that are members of the DSA (Direct Sales Association), have products that everyone needs and wants on a monthly basis - (this helps for consistent sales), is a "green" company and will help YOU grow. I have been in direct sales for almost 9 years and have found some good ones. I'd love to share my experiences and point you in the right direction. In your corner,
K.

I have not found a way to make money and not leave the house. I have looked into a lot of these make money from home websites, but I have always been skeptical so never really pursued any of them. I can tell you that I have started selling Scentsy and absolutely love it!! Unique scentsy warmers use a low watt bulb to melt specially formulated was slowly, maximizing it's fragrance time. With no flame, soot, or wick, the Scentsy wickless candle system is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 Scentsy fragrances. I will never use candles again. My house smells sooo good and my kids are safe. Scentsy wickless candles won't ever get hot enough to burn or catch fire. My son stuck his finger in the wax and he just had a really great smelling finger..lol. Please check out my website and give me a call so I can tell you all about it. I can't promise that you don't have to work at it, but Scentsy sells itself, so you don't have to work that hard. If you can handle leaving the house 4 times a month, I think you should look into this great opportunity!
I look forward to hearing from you!!
