Does anyone know of a job I can do part time at home to make some extra cash that is legitimate? I've checked the internet but everything seems too good to be true; i.e., online surveys, secret shopper, etc. Isn't there legitimate data entry or transcription jobs out there? And please, no pyramid stuff. I don't want to sell the fountain of youth in a bottle to 3 people and they sell it to 10 people, etc. Just real honest work please.

Hey S.. I have been working from home part-time around a 4 year old and a 14 month old for 3 years now. It's good for us because there isn't selling or home parties like everything else out there. It was $29 to get started and it was refundable for 120 days. The only reason (at the time) that my husband approved of it was because the company that we are with is in the Better Business Bureau Hall of Fame and the Inc. 500. They are like 23 years old now too. I can get you all the info top to bottom for free if you want. If you go to www.BeFreeTeam.com and request the info., then we can set up a time and see if it is something that can help you out. We have all been there, girl! Searching the internet over and over just to find out it's the same tired crud that everyone is getting scammed from. I looked FOREVER! Maybe this is for you. www.BeFreeTeam.com Good Luck!

Secret shopping is not very good pay-wise. The lowest pay is $6 to drive somewhere, remember everything you were supposed to check, and then drive home and report your findings online. Sometimes you can get a meal out of it, or a night at a hotel, but even then you have to pay out of pocket and wait at least a month to get that money back. That is your pay.
You end up with about $5 an hour once you factor everything in. Here is some more info about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_shopping

Hi, S. I have been trying to find online businesses for a while too. There are a lot of scams out there. I just started selling Avon a month ago and it is not a get rich quick scheme, but you can definately make some extra money and build it into whatever you want. Avon was started in 1888 so it has been around for a long time and it pretty much sells itself. It is only $10 to get started and you don't really have to do a lot of parties, you can just send people brochures. They have a lot more than just makeup, too. Jewelry, fragrance, toys, clothes, household products. They are also on the cutting edge of technology and Anew by Avon was the first product to use alpha-hydroxy as an anti-aging ingredient. Also Avon was just featured on the View. If you would like more information or to see some of the products go to my website www.avonfresh.com you can click on contact me from there to email me. Good luck with your search and I hope you find success in whatever you choose to do.

Hi S., I too have two daughters who I stay home with. About a year and a half ago I was introduced to Ignite, the sales and marketing arm of Stream Energy, which is a start-up electricity company.
The business has proven to be exactly what I needed! I work on my own terms and enjoy real money coming in to our household.
My website is http://landreth.igniteinc.biz. There is a video towards the bottom right of the screen - "Watch the Ignite Opportunity Video." It is 11 minutes long and is worth the watch!
Take those 11 minutes to just check it out. If you like what you see or have further questions, I would love to speak with you.

Best of luck,

Hi S.! I can relate with your search for legitimate income streams!! I have 3 kids, was in the IT/Software industry, wanted to stay at home and NOT have the long commute and hours, yet I still needed to contribute to the family budget. I am a Director with Southern Living at HOME and would love to chat with you about a part-time business. I coach women to start their own businesses, and would love to help you. I have been a 'Work at Home' Mom for 3 years now and LOVE it! My kids are very involved, and this job gives me the flexibility to work around the family commitments. And I've earned a significant income and 9 free vacations, just working 15-20 hours per week.

We are looking for professional women who want a non-traditional working environment! If you'd like to gather more information, we are holding a discovery session this evening. It's a great way to ask questions in a large forum, or just sit back and listen to others asking questions! Please let me know if you'd like to join me. If you can't make it tonight, I'd love to treat you to lunch or coffee to see if this would be a good fit for you. Hope to hear from you soon!

Good luck. I signed up for mystery shopping. There is very little money in it. Plus you cannot take your kid along for most of the jobs. Hold out for something better. Good luck.

Hi S.,
For the past 2 years I have been working alongside a company called Ignite. In short, my family gets paid on electricity bills each month, and now natural gas bills as well. I was looking for a true residual income opportunity to offset our downtime in our other business. I am still able to stay home and work this part time. My website is www.beckybell.igniteinc.biz . There is a short video of what this business offers. If I can help, please give me a call ###-###-####. It has proven successful for us and I would be glad to share some information with you. It has been a blessing for my family to say the least. Best wishes to you and good luck! By the way, this is network marketing but I have NEVER been involved in any other MLM because I couldn't sell my family and friends lotions, potions, vitamins,make up, miracle juice etc etc. I don't believe in shoving nonessentials down the throats of my friends/family. But here, we are talking electricity/natural gas and our customers pay NOTHING to become customers per the way Senate Bill 7 was written in 1999 when deregulation of elec. passed in Texas. I hope you take a look.......Also, I would be happy to show you my income and my reports to validate what I am telling you.
Again good luck!

Hi Shelly,
My name is L. Jonson and I work from home. I have worked a couple home-based businesses in my lifetime and some require more time than a Mom and wife have time to commit to. All require some investment. Some require inventory which I do not have room or money to spare.

I recently found a great one though. Check this out and contact me if you have questions at ###-###-####. This does have an initial investment but you will receive your investment and more back quicker than you can imagine.
