You could have a look at this:

I know how hard it is to get started with internet-related business. There are so many people offering you big money for no work - That job doesn't exist!

Be careful and don't believe everything you read online.

Also, there is a free course for Work At Home Mums (WAHMs) here if you need some pointers.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you want to work from your computer at home, you are probably going to have to do it as a business owner, rather than as an employee. There are no online work-at-home "jobs".

When you apply for a job offline, in the bricks and mortar world, do you have to pay anything? Of course not. It should be the same in the online world. If you are asked to pay any money, at best, it is a business opportunity, but more likely it is just a scam.

Be very careful that you don't get scammed.

I do affiliate marketing online. I've been doing it for a year and I'm getting ready to quit my regular job, as I am now making over $10k per month. It takes dedicated work, at minimum a small amount of initial working capital, decent organizational skills, and persistence, but you can make a living at it if you stick with it.

But that is a business.

If you want something easy, with no investment, you could probably make $500 to $1000 per month getting paid by companies to write postings on blogs about their products. That's about the only legitimate way that I know of to earn money online without any investment.

Good luck to you.

I've heard of stay-at-home mom's getting into the insurance business so they could set their own hours and work from home. I don't know how you would go about it though, never tried it myself. You won't always have time to pass. I have four children and as they have gotten older I have become involved in their activities. I am a den leader for Cub Scouts, assistant coach cheerleading, volunteer in their classes about once a week for about an hour per class, I am a lunch room aid, I help with our parents association, I help with field trips, special activities like the mile run & fundraisers, reading groups, endless sports and after school activities Believe me there is so much to do you have to learn to say no. I try to get all house work, grocery shopping, bill paying , laundry and other such things done during the day so I can spend the evenings with the kids. Then there is homework and family time which is important. I try to keep one day a week as my own. I read, call friends, go on yahoo answers, watch a good movie, etc.. Good luck to you.

Answer 4

I'm going to recommend you check out the "Work at Home Moms" website (http://wahm.com/) founded by Cheryl Demas.

I am in no way affilated with the site, but would recommend it to my own mother if she decided she wanted to go online and make money.

Cheryl's put together a nice collection of resources and opportunities as well as forum where you can connect with other ladies to share experiences. I think you find it VERY useful.

Cheers,
Ed

Be careful you don't get scammed.

I've found a legitimate business that will build your wealth, but you're not going to be rich overnight.

A great opportunity

Answer 6

Yes, there are a lot of scammers out there, as well as legitimate businesses. You will just have to do some research, depending on what type of work you are interested in. You can do research online or at your local library. Take a look at your local ads, there may be ads on specific computer work you can do from home for people in your community.

Answer 7

Look at this ebook by a couple of college kids that made $80 with 2 hours of work. The ebook only costs 7 BUCKS!

Answer 8

Be very careful not to get scammed. Most of the "opportunities" you'll see online are just scams.
