I am trying to find a source of income that I can do from home. I have tried many different work at home things but none of them seem to be real. THey all turn out to be scams. I tried Mary Kay and that did not work. I live too far out and with the schedule that my kids have i need something that I can do when my kids are in school. Me and my fiance run on one vehicle and he is gone all day long working. Does any one know of any legitimate work at home options that I have that do not cost anything to start up? Since we are only working on one income right now my options are kind of limited.

What can I do next?

I know of a company that I have been checking out myself, you don't have to sell anything, you simply perform customer service from home. The website is www.workathomeagent.net. If you are customer service oriented then you can do it.

Hi S., I know this is coming late with this, but I have a great idea for you. This guy that paints our house has a home based business. The name of it is Melaleuca. It is a wellness company. We use the products and love them. It is vitamins, skin care, detergents, etc. Anything you can think of. His name is Doyle Mahan and his wife is Joanna. They are super nice, and I told him about you so if you want to call him his number is ###-###-#### and his email address is ____@____.com can give you a little more info about it. I think you are really going to like it.

Hi S.:

This is late to reply to but thought it worth while. Home Business. You live so far out,one car, one income currently, correct so far? Well, here is the bad news, most home business stuff is bunk..the one making the money is the one selling you the package to get started (in most cases). It is a waist of precious time in your position. Full time On Line Student, Mother of 3, soon to be married.

I am not what you are studying for at school so I can throw this out there...DayCare Provider/Baby Sitter for those in your area who normally travel long distances to drop the children off during the summer? Sure, there is some cost but minimal, CPR class,...but not very many start up fees involved there. (1 to 2 additional children then your own, could generate a few dollars weekly to get your feet on the ground and qualify for a second vehicle after 6 mos. recordable? Listen, life can seem impossible at times because everywhere we turn there is a hurdle, some high, some low, and finding the solution or the energy to get past it isn't always at our fingertips...it can be downright frusterating.

You have already began to create a great opportunity for you and your children through education. Get envolved in your local church, many opportunities are there waiting for you to find. Odd jobs close to you helping others, some with little pay and others with more, you would not normally expect.

Anyways, hopefully this has reached in good health, and you have not given up on your education just yet. Balance is knocking at your door, but to see it you must lay down your worries, and pursue the resources most cant see.

Best Wishes,

K.P.

S.,

While it is hard to run with one car and having kids. I know exactly what you are dealing with. I went through this myself. However, 3 years ago I found a business that really does provide a solid income. The company I'm with is called For Your Pleasure. We offer romance enhancements. While I know this isn't everyones cup of tea. It is a great business to get involved with. The money is super nice! The education and friendships are extraordinary. The best part you can join for free. I would be happy to further elaborate but you must contact me. I really don't want to go into alot of detail here since this is a family friendly site.
I will say this though... I make as much as my hubby does and he works a 40 hour work week. I work part time (Fri, Sat. and limited Sun.)With 2 parties a week I can earn as little as $250 and as much as $600 or more.
So if you are interested and believe me I will not push because that is not how I conduct my business. You may contact me via message or M. at National Pleasures dot com.

Many Blessings to you and yours,
M. Hayes

You could try selling the toys, clothing and gear that your kids have outgrown on ebay and/or shop garage sales and thrift stores for name brand items and resell for a profit.

Hi S.! My name is J. and I am a stay-at-mom while my husband is going back to school. Since he is full time, we needed a source of income. A friend introduced me to Tupperware and I was very surprised to see how it worked since I am not a "run-around and beg people to buy stuff" kind of person. :) As a consultant you do not have to exhust yourself doing parties, but have the options to use the computer and website to have on-line parties (these are great - you never have to leave your home or deliver anything!)....or have brides register on your website....as consultants we can also do fundraisers with groups of any sizes that helps them raise 40% of the sales while paying you. Check out my website - www.my.tupperware.com/JillPhipps
Let me know if you have any questions or would like more information. It really is a lot of fun and I LOVE all the FREE Tupperware I have gotten for my kitchen. (There is a start up kit with a small cost, but I can help eliminate that cost for you if you are interested)
Hope to hear from you,
J.
