After my 2nd son was born, I searched the internet, the newspaper, everything! For info on working from home. I checked out SO many website and businesses. Unfortunately, after a year of research, I didn't find one that I trusted enough to try. However, I did start selling Mary Kay. I make a good profit on it and like the product myself-which makes a difference, not to mention now I get a big discount! It is easy to do and you receive a LOT of support from your team and from the company. You can do as little or as much as you want since there are no quotas. You don't have to do inventory. You can purchases quarterly catelogs as well as pay $25 a year for a website with shopping provided and maintained by MK.
The BEST part is the 90% buy-back guarantee. If you decide within your 1st year that it isn't for you, you can sell ANY product you've purchased back to the company for 90%. For me, this is what sealed the deal because I felt like I had a good back-up plan if it didn't work. Plus, I could sell back product bonuses that I receive for free.
I can tons of info on my computer... please email me!

Technically it is not a o because you do not get paid, so i suppose its volunteer work or something. Some women may feel that it isn't real work because they have a job as well as those responsibilities because they cannot afford to just stay at home. I'm sure it is more convenient for your children and partner and I'm sure both benefit but I feel that If I stayed at home and did everything for my family they wouldn't respect me and by the time my children leave home they will not do anything for themselves and could expect everyone else to do it for them. I do however think that it is up to each individual family how they work and bring up their children an if that is you're choice then so be it.

they are all scams. there is one out there that says they pay you to stuff envelopes. they make it sound really good. almost too good to be true (like most of them) so i looked into it to see the validity of it. from what i could find about it, you pay an initial fee which they say is to have supplies sent to you and to guarantee that you will do it, and then they pay you per envelope. but the thing is, they only give you a few names to send out to, so you really cant make any money, and what you are sending out is more scam mail to get more people to do what you are doing. i imagine that they are all like this. and if they are not, they are companies wanting to give you a loan so that you can start your own business from your home. when i first had my baby i looked into a lot of these things. i found the best one was to sell Mary Kay. although you do need to be a people person and be able to persuade people, you can make a lot of money, a 50% profit and there really isnt any gimmics to it. you can email me if you have any questions, i am a MK consultant.

No. Sorry to tell you. I wanted that too, but got scammed. I did the computer survey thing. To make a long story short, did alot of surveys and never got paid. And my sister-in-law tried the stuffing envelopes thing. Stuffed alot. Got paid. But not much. Not enough to even continue doing it for extra money. That's all I know.

Unfortunately, they are pretty much scams being offered. If you have to pay up front for information, or to join something, chances are the only ones going to make a profit are the people you are giving your money to.

Not for the most part. I suggest you take a course in medical transcribing and see if you can get local doctors/dentists to use your services.
