I'd love to share my home-based business with you. It began 3 years ago as "chump change" - with time and patience, a residual income developed over the years. I've expanded and am currently working with 2 chiropractors - one in the Mt. View area and one in the Los Altos area. We would love some extra help if you are available 3-5 hours a week and are interested in building a residual income for you and your family :) Two other options would be: (1) to think about what you love to do and advertise your services on Craig's List (www.craigslist.com), or (2) visit www.dotcommommies.com for other ideas. Good luck!

Hi L.,

I am a stay at home mom also. I left my job in the corporate world over 14 years ago, when my oldest was starting kindergarten. Daycare was eating up all my salary. I knew I didn't want to go back to a reg 9-5, but also needed income. That is when I got invited to a "Princess House Party" and I saw how much fun the consultant was having all while making money. It almost seem to good to be true! Well it wasn't. I started my own business 12 years ago, stepped up to management in my first year and never looked back.

Read my story and check out my web page at www.princesshouse.com/mcaballero.

I now have 4 kids and I havent missed a thing!! I make great money, even on the months I took off or slowed down while on maternity break or for whatever reason. The biggest success of my career has been helping other moms be able to have the best of both worlds, family and career without feeling like they are sacraficing anything.

Feel free to email and I'll show you how I do it.

M. Caballero, Princess House Manager

I just started working from home a week ago. I'm working with a great team that helps moms stay at home. I have to admit I'm still trying to figure out the balance of how many hours I want to work (I'm very excited about it so I'm waking up before the little one does to get things done!) If you want more information, please take a look at my website. Thanks!

Hi L.
Before you decide on a company, be sure to research Jockey Person to Person as well. The only reason why I say that is there are so many companies to choose from.

Jockey is new, so we don't have too many consultants yet. Actually there are less than 50 in the entire state of California. Jockey is also already a very well known and beloved brand. We have one of the best comp plans so that you actually can earn money right away - and we don't ask you to spend money to keep an inventory. Many direct sales companies have you invest lots of money in their product before you even start selling it.

I've been with Jockey about a year and a half and yet it is still a very new business in the direct sales industry. Women love to shop for clothes so it's an easy purchase for them. All of our clothes are comfortable, cotton, stretchy, and they look good. If you like I can send you a catalog so you can see what I mean. Feel free to look at my website or my mamasource ad too.

Good luck in your search. Talk with me before you decide!

This Tuesday, Debra Waller, the CEO of Jockey is coming to San Mateo to do an event for women. If you would like to come or get more info, I can email you the flyer.

L.,
Not sure if you've decided on anything yet or still looking for some options, but I wanted to pass along the one that has helped me. I've tried many home-based companies and was disappointed. PartyLite changed that for me.
The products are wonderful (and are consumable for repeat business), the company is awesome, my co-workers are my best friends, and I have a great boss (me :)

Visit me at www.partylite.biz/jlongoria

I know there are a lot of choices, but many require inventory, investment, 'quotas', or bookkeeping skills.
PartyLite has no investment (costs $0 to start), does not require inventory, sends a paycheck so no bookkeeping, and provides all the training for free.
If you love candles/fragrances, like to meet new people and work whenever you want, I hope you check out PartyLite.
The women on my team are all stay-at-home moms (except for me) and they love their business. We are the best of friends and help and support one another.

I'm hosting a kick-off on 7/30 at Round Table in Los Gatos and would love to have you visit for more information.
Hope I can help.

Hi L., I hope you have found something that works to bring in extra income while working at home. I actually help mentor and get new distributors started in XanGo health and wellness, and it is great because I have meetings in my home and so my distributors just refer others to me. I just wanted to let you know that I met 10-15 people at my Holiday Boutique Saturday who are looking for ways to earn extra money and to have a "Plan B" just in case something happens with their jobs. I am inviting people to come to my home for my Referral Co-op "Coffee Breaks". Over a cup of coffee or tea (cookies will be served! :o), I can explain how with very little out of pocket expense, you can learn to maximize/leverage the very generous compensation plan of XanGo to build a profitable home-based business and help others to do so as well. It is not a big time commitment for you because I have the meetings in my home, and you "refer" others to me. If you love to help people, now is the time to find out how you can do that as a XanGo authorized distributor. With the job market being what it is currently, many more people are looking at network marketing as a risk-free and recession-proof way to supplement income and qualify for other rewards that XanGo offers. I would like to invite you to come to my home in San Jose (or I can come to yours if more convenient) to go over this easy to learn system to improve your life as well as the lives of others! Now is a great time to learn more about how a home based business can benefit you and your family. Sincerely, V. Garnese XanGo 1K ____@____.com

I look foward to hearing from you hopefully in the near future! V.

I also was in your position until recently. I was looking to earn a little extra income and I happened to talkm to the right people and get invloved in a great company. I work as a buyer for a licenced, insured gold purchasing company that is the NEW way to make lots of quick cash. The price of gold is at an all time high right now and our company has a very unique way of making YOU money. Basically, you set up a date and a time for us (2-3 hours) and we do all the work. We come to the place of your choice and purchase any gold, silver, and/or platinum that you and your frinds no longer wear or is broken or damaged. We do all the work. Your friends get paid top dollar everything, immediatly! If you host the party, you get 10% of everything purchased at your party in cash, on the spot. Any of your friends that decide to book a party thereafter, you get 5% of the total purchased from their parties as well. We set parties up in offices, schools, private homes, churches, hotels, ect. If you have two hours to make a few hundred dollars-cash, call me and I can let you know more of the details and about our dates available because our calenars are filling up fast! Feel free to contact me at any time at ###-###-####.
