What is a good home based business for a single mom to start that is not a scam?

Question

I have heard ebay is a good way to go but I dont think that would be enough to live on...any suggestions?

Answer 1

Stay away from CashCreate, Treasure Trooper and other survey Web sites.

It is a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.

If you choose to be suckered in and sign up to take surveys and receive, free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your credit card and personal information you have now opened your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.

A lot of work to collect the "reward payments" that payout is not worth the effort over time. You will need to sign up for many types of offers, most of which require you to use a credit card. You start a week trial service with varies types of businesses or services, such as, an Internet service provider, book club, credit monitoring service, etc. to get your reward. If you don't cancel the trial, you end up being charged for the service and each service has different rules about how and when you can cancel. Very cumbersome!

Since you will need to sign up for at least a dozen offers before you get to $100 in rewards, it's very easy to forget what you have signed up for, or the problems you will have canceling in time to to be charged the full amount. The Cash Create recruiters you see here over exaggerate how much money you can earn because once you've done the high-dollar trials ($8-10 each), you are left with small rewards of a dollar or two. The survey business is not an efficient way to make money and you are more than likely to loose money in the end.

Answer 2

It depends on what your interests are.

Do you enjoy skin care and cosmetics? Gift items or home decor accessories? Health products? Cookware? Or do you enjoy working on the computer? Bookkeeping? Data Entry?

Also you have to look at your current budget. What amount are you able and willing to invest?

There are different business models to consider. Do you want to get a business license and start a business from scratch? Were you thinking about any direct selling, network marketing, MLM, or party plan companies?

In my situation, I'm a married mom with a young child. Also I work full-time for a night shift job and run a business from home for the remaining time. So I can only imagine the challenges that you're facing as a single mom.

I am a mother of a 4 month old and a husband who works construction. During the winter months when it rains it gets tight with the money. It took me years to find something that i enjoy and I get to help families like myself and most importantly they are legit.

They have been in business for 14 years, BBB members and seen on T.V, Radio and Business Magazines. Another great thing about the company is you can do everything from home. Being that 70% can't afford health insurance this companies offers health benefits under $60.00 a month for an entire household. You can do all your advertising online as I do helping get the word out there is a solution to this huge health care crisis.
Theres such a huge market.

I wish you the best of luck and if you have any questions let me know.

Answer 4

Stay out of the mainstream, about a bazillion whales are already there with a firm foot in the ground and WILL underbid and outshine you unless you have some serious capital and skill.(dvds,games,electronics,beauty products,music-which people dont really pay for anymore,name brand clothing,etc.. are all claimed land and trespassing is a fools idea) Find a niche, find something that you think is superior,strange,unique,etc... and no one has caught on to put it on a place like ebay yet. Be the first and hope it pans out. Find a dozen more things like that which pan out and you now have a home business. There is always the service industry too. Don't btw go for a single work at home program/wholesale list/etc that you see on tv or online. People who have a good source and are so enthusiastic about the business opportunities keep it to themselves. They do not sell it they utilize it. If I knew google was going to hit $700 would I sell it in newsletters for $9.99 or liquidate everything down to my kidneys/take a million dollar loan at 99% apr and buy at 1/3 the price?

Answer 5

It is amazing how so many people do not realize that starting any business is typically for the benefit of profits that may come years later. If you want immediate income a job would be a better choice. If you truly are a conservative investor and are willing to spend time building a home based business that really will pay you over $60,000 working from home, write to me. I will be glad to offer some suggestions that can get you started with minimal start-up cost and maximum benefits. Bruce at [e-mail]

Answer 10

I am reselling 50+ Website/Internet related products from SassyReseller.com and slowly the business is growing and getting better. Best part is that it can be operated from any part of the world (having Internet access). It comes with you 30-day money-back guarantee also.
Best part I like is that after sales support is already taken care for your customers.
