Ok I have tried asking before and had no response so here it goes again. I was laid off work last month and looks to be another mth or two befor I will be able to return. I have really enjoyed just being home with my kids I told my boss when and if my posistion comes back open I would only like to return for two days aweek. So has any of you moms out there work or has found a good, trustworthy, cheap start up fee online base job. I am still looking around online so any would be great.
I was offered info about marykay I think it was little bout me I am tomboyish and really dont worry or even like wearing makeup, so I dont think I would be very good in that area. Thanks moms.

What can I do next?

Arbonne International has the cheapest start up costs of any home based business I've seen... plus the products are out of this world. We have SO MUCH more to offer than cosmetics, over 500 products for everyone from grandparent to the smallest infants. I have REALLY enjoyed it and I too am a farm girl with little interest in makeup!

Best of luck - contact me if you'd like more info!

Do you like to cook? Do you like to eat? Have you thought about Pampered Chef? If interested, contact me.

Another thought: EBAY! Many people now make a good living or extra income selling all kinds of stuff they get at garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores, etc.

Hi M W,
I don't know if you are looking for a job or to start your own business. There are many of us out here who have their own business, and it is different than getting a job. I am actually working with a team called Work At Home United, which is actually a wonderful support team of others who are working the same home based business. I love what I do, and I do it along with working an outside of the home job. I like getting out of the house and having personal contact with people, so I wait tables during the day.
My home business allows me to share with other people a wonderful opportunity of enhancing other people's lives.
I saw that Carrie is watching this and I want to let you both know that the reason we have links to our website and then have people request more information is because, at least with my team, we want to give you ALL of the information, not just a little here and there which could be enough for people to decide it isn't for them, when they really don't even know what it is.
My team has several calls everyday that we take guests to so that they hear all of the information, and then after getting that information, we let you decide then after knowing everything there is. We have nothing to hide, I am more than happy to tell anyone who wants to hear everything. We do feel it is important however to get the full picture of what we offer and not just tidbits.
I hope this makes sense.
You also said that you were looking for something with a low fee. Usually, there is a one time enrollment fee of $29 to join our company, but until the end of the month that fee has been cut in half and you do receive so many benefits for that. There is no fee to get the information, and if you do decide to join our team, Work At Home United has a wonderful FREE support system that is yours for the taking.
I hope you have a great day and if you are interested in getting more information about enhancing your life and your family's life, please send me a message and I would love to get in contact with you and share.
J.

Hey Ladies, your looking at a company thats been around for over 35 years with a great background. We are members of the BBB and has been in the Fortune 500 magazine many of times, and also on the NYSD. There is no other company like this so that means no competition. This company has also been in the news as one of the best companies for the ID Thief program and Prepaid Legal. We have also had showings on TRU TV. So if there is any doubt about this company you should wanna hear more. Hey its hard to live a happy and fulfilling life working all day and night, and then have children to care for. Something will not get your full attention. I'm a mom of 3 and have missed so much of them growing up. I decided that I wasn't going to do this again with my third child. So I've found a way still make a essential income, witha company that has a great background. For more info email me at ____@____.com

Arbonne International is great for anyone of any interest. It's a health & wellness company with natural products. We do carry makeup and such, but we also cary baby care, hair care, vitamins & supplements, detox products, etc. You are sharing with people how to be healthier. I used to do Mary Kay and grew up on a farm and am definately not a girly, girl. I think that is why I love doing Arbonne so much more becuase it fits me better. The startup is minimal and you don't have to be into wearing makeup to do it because we cater to everyone in the family. Check out my website for more info and if you would like to explore more, I would be happy to share with you to see if this is even a fit for you. This way you can make an educated decision based on what's best for you. Feel free to email me or call me if you would like more info. I do travel to MO to work with others working the biz and we have awesome online training. I even have people on my team working the business and clients using the products in Australia so working with those out of my area is not a problem at all. Best of luck to you in your search. I am sure there is something out there that is right for you, but this is definately worth looking into.

I joined with AmeriPlan not too long ago and have started my advertising. They're a health and dental discount benefits company. So, there is selling involved as far as getting customers to sign up. But the way I see it, there are many people on Medicaid these days and, unfortunately for them, their dental isn't covered at all. The start up was $95 and it's $50 a month thereafter. For me, personally, this is a worthy investment. I feel as though any at home business will require some type of investment. Plus, for the $50 a month, you have 5 websites to market as well as full benefits for your whole family. The normal fee just for full health benefits for a family through AmeriPlan is $59.95. So, just to get the benefits, that's $9.95 less...plus the websites and a massive amount of training. There are live conference/training calls 4 nightsw a week, plus great support from the company. If you're interested at all, feel free to send me a message and we can talk! Good luck!

The last response asked this same question...are you looking for a job or a business? In a job you trade time for money, in a business, such as mine, ongoing incoming is what you should want. It's what I have with my Unfranchise business, a business for yourself, but not by yourself. I've seen a lot of businesses that are cheap to start but have compensation plans that pay very small percentages and requirements that the average person cannot do. If someone is looking for a business, they must receive at least 10hrs. of information... not all at once, but over a period of phone conversations, business overviews, seeing the business plan, reviewing the getting started guide which includes your goals and monthly requirements, etc.. When I work with someone I want to be sure they are right for the busines, and understand enough to start building their business successfully, with my help.. I continue to build my business to earn an ongoing income that a job doesn't provide. This business is a product brokerage company, we have many exclusive products and partner stores such as Target, Nordstroms and most places you already shop..the difference is we get paid to do this. If you or any other moms are reading this and serious about starting a business with a company that has a proven business plan and record for success, respond back and we can go from here. Thanks so much, V.
