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.

do you have a special skill, talent, interest? i am sure you do. write them down. one idea is to start a small business from home. i have a friend who is interested in crafts and makes her own jewerly. she then sells the jewerly at local fairs and such, or to her friends. she buys the beeds and has begun to collect many beads and buys the items to make earings at a local craft store. it is quite easy and simple. you can do it. if this does not interest you, then you can also invest in stocks. you will need some money to begin, but the money is growing there as you spend time with your kids. go to a near by library and ask for some info on stocks and such. learn how to and ask around for help. if you already have done this, then my other idea for you is to bake cookies!! and sell them.. i guess all my ideas revolve around starting a small business... you can sell marykay... or avon, those cosmetics... i'm sure people do not do that just for the hell of it, and i have a friend who makes money from it.
what else?
you can go to school and be a liscensed real estate agent. depending on the state you live in it does not take very long. some tests to get liscense, you will have to take time to study for them. and then get a job with a real estate company, you should be able to do it if you are interested and most of the time you can work from home. i know someone who does this and has kids too...
what else?hmmm ...
i recommend you continue asking people, visiting the library, reading about some things that interests you, and get thinking!! i'm sure you have great ideas!!

I'm not sure if you went to college or not, but my moms friend is a stay at home mom but also an interior designer and she has her office right at her home! You could also try running a daycare if you are up for all of that! I hope this helps you, even in the least bit. I'm sure you can do some more research on google to find what kind of jobs you can have while staying at home with your children! Good luck!

If you are a social person who can make a lot of connections you may want to try PartyLite or Home and Garden Parties.
Both are companies that set you up with a "kit" (a set of their products). Basically you become the salesperson for the company through arranging parties with people you know who may want to buy their products. After your parties, you make a percentage of money, and the "host" of the party gets credit for the company's products.
To make any significant money you need to be able to make a lot of connections with people.
Also, this is not completely a stay-at-home job. But you have control of when you do your parties and how often you do them. My mom did this for awhile and made a good amount of money. The only thing is she couldn't make enough connections to sell to different people. It is a very social thing, it is not a very "sales-y" thing where you are straight out advertising the products.

I tried a lots of ways, the only thing that I could make little money of was "eBay". but you have to find the inventory at a very low price, so you can sell. because there are a lots of competitors on the auctions. be careful about the on-line scam artists which offer you good e-business etc but want money upfront. they want to rip you off your money.
good luck!

You can babysit one or two other children. If you have more than two kids, I would only try to babysit one more. The key to being a good babysitter is being able to keep an eye on ALL of the kids in your home.

Make jewelry, knitted or sewn items, or other crafts to sell. Find a niche market on eBay to buy and resell stuff for profit. Study online for a degree that will allow you to go into business for yourself and work from home.

On this site http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=555 you can find real companies and networks that are willing to pay you to know your opinion about their products.
I'm making a few hundreds dollars a month with this system. It's not a life changing extra income but it's still worth it. I can pay my bills and my beers with it.
Hope it helps.
