I need to find something that would allow me to stay home and still bring in some money. After I pay for daycare and gas I am only bringing in 850.00 a month. I want something that doesn't cost a bunch of money and something that doesn't rip me off. Any ideas?

Yes but yahoo doesn't allow us to give links here in the answer but they do have our profile and email available to you.
Just be careful in your search because there is a lot to choose from that might take up too much of your time and money. I know, it's cheaper for me to stay home with the kids too. Good Luck! Jennifer

I was exactly where you are about a year ago. I was all over the net looking for options. I found a company with a 23 year track record of success that has undoubtedly surpassed all other online home businesses.
I have two children and raise them on my own and this company has afforded me the opportunity to stay home not struggle from day to day.
If you would like more info, click on my avatar and read my blog. There is a website there with tons of information.
Good Luck in whatever you choose!

I used to watch children, but found it actually impeded me from being able to spend time with my children, suddenly wanting to go do something special and having other children to take with me, etc. So I started working direct sales. I like the fact that I'm my own boss, work the hours that I want, and my children love my parties and even help me! There are sooo many choices this day and age out there in direct sales for you to choose from, think of what you love to do and just do it, no holds barred! You can even do it in your spare time while doing whatever job you're already doing, and once you make enough to quit, then quit! If you need to be pointed in the right direction, I can most certainly help you!

I have been working from home for over a year and I love the company its called Xango. It is a health supplement made from the Whole fruit of the Mangosteen. And the benefits are amazing its really built up my immune system and I haven't been sick since I have been taking it.

Check out www.themompreneur.com
It is a magazine for women who want to stay home and there is a network of women in business who can help with advice every step of the way.
Enjoy!

Create a website about something that you know a lot about (recipes, how to fix a car, photography, stamp collecting...). Then you can make money by running some ads on the site.
