did you get my 'pm' - I tried to send you a note thru there...
I know , it's such a blessing to be here for my kids... I still have 4 at home and homeschool 3 of them.
I have my home business link in my signature and so do a lot of others on the forum , which will give you a lot of stuff to look at. Just don't let it all overwhelm you.
If you want to talk to any of us personally, you can send a personal message thru the pm link under our name on the left...

When you log into your account it should say that you have a private message...
I'll send it again and see if it goes thru for you

Neisa,
There are a lot of on-line businesses that are legitimate. Alot of them only require a phone and a computer.
Check different people's signature lines in the forum and you will probably find something that is right for you. Also you may pm me if you have any further questions.

Hi Nancy
I see more and more people daily turning to the internet to make a living. I know this is especially true for disabled people (my Mom is disabled so I know how difficult it can be). I think the internet is wonderful in this way providing opportunities where there may not have been many before.
However there are scams out there (I've fallen for some myself  )
I highly recommend googling any opportunity you come across online BEFORE you put down any money. If it is a scam you will probably find some comments by people who got "scammed".
And do look through peoples signatures on this forum (as was suggested to you by someone already) there are lots of really good opportunities out there.
Feel free to PM me if you like.
Good Luck!
Nicole Barkai

Hi they got this thing on the internet called ripoff report search, and I love it, it has helped me not get scammed, Just type in name of business you are considering joining and you should get the feedback you need. I just started looking a couple days ago for a home job opportunity, I did make money with tupperware, and got great stuff, I believe in it but it's time consuming you have to go do parties at peoples houses.I want strictly at home internet business. Single mom of 2 please let me know if you know what to trust!!!

Hi Nancy and Liz,
What you need to remember when you do your research and and go to ripoff reports is that it is a place for anyone to give vent to their frustrations - When I was doing my research on home based business, I found that you can find almost every business under rippoff! - even companies like Tupperware, Amway, and those that have been around for years...
Bottom line is simply that there are successful people in almost every home business out there - AND there are the ones that spend more effort in venting their frustrations on places like rippoff than actually working their business - lol!
Don't give up looking, gals... your kids are worth the effort it takes to research and then once you do find the right business, to put in the effort it takes to make it successful...
Cheers!

Hello all moms!!! I'm Theresa....and expecting my first baby anytime now. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and will have some time to be at home after the baby is born. I'm looking to make money from home..hopefully, I won't have to go back to my daytime job...and be able take care of my new baby. I'd hate to leave him with strangers......and probably won't be able to afford it anyway. Money is very tight right now....with hospital bills and all. If anyone can suggest a good work at home job or business, I'd really appreciate it. Please share what exactly it is that you do, how long it takes before seeing income, and what it takes to be successful.

Nancy,
There are so many businesses today online. They all look good and have very professional looking presentations. But do your homework. Be sure not only to check out the company but the team you sign up under. Support and training is everything!!! It will make or break your success.
When you check into opportunities � look for people who want to know more about YOU and what YOU are looking for. Stay away from people that promise you this and that � find someone who take the time to listen and can point you to the program and tools to help you achieve your goals!!!
Blessings and I pray you find exactly what you are looking for!

Michelle,
It is very true that you need a business opportunity that provides support. I got scammed a lot of times, and then I started what I do know. I looked for a good mentor, and he is always there for me when I have any questions or concerns. The CEO has answered some of my questions too!! The great thing about the business that I am in is that it can make a lot of money in very little time, and I get to help other people realize thier dreams........what more could one want out of a job!

I think the most important thing to keep in mind when starting an online business is that it does actually require some WORK especially in the beginning. Some businesses try to convince you that all you have to do is signup for their program then sit back and watch the money come in. This just plain ain't true. You have to treat whatever business you decide to join as a business and not some hobby you picked up in your spare time. With commitment and persistence you can succeed in any number of online businesses out there.

Well there's a lot of people chipping in with suggestions. I would also suggest you may be interested in working from home for a virtual call or contact center. It's a legitimate work from home JOB opportunity. Positions include everything from customer service to sales. Hope this helps!

There's a lot of great info here! Just remember, it all depends on what interests you! You need to enjoy what you're doing to be successful at it. There are many different work from home options.
First of all, you need to decide: Do you want a JOB (working for someone else within their guidelines, their hours, etc.) or do you want to start your own BUSINESS (will require some money and perserverance)? You can do either type whether you are a WAHM, a WAHD, disabled, etc.!!!
If you want a JOB, you should NOT have to pay for it!!! There are a lot of scams offering great wages and hours for a job that never pay out (surverys, craft assembly, etc.) They make their money in the sign-up fees.
If you want to start an affiliate business, check it out thoroughly also! Does it offer a real product? If you don't do well, will you still be okay with the money you spent? (Maybe you love the product so much that even if you don't sell anything, you're still okay with taking the risk - i.e. travel site - you still get discounted travel for life.)
So how do you know if your job or business opportunity is a SCAM?? I would still check out ripoffreport.com but be weary of the comments. If there are multiple comments by different people, take it more serious than by just 1 person. Scam.com is the same type of site. I would also check out forums like this one!!! Scammers will still promote their stuff in forums so check for multiple entries by different users to get a good feel for your job or business opportunity. Also, check out the BBB and the internet version of BBB (sorry - can't recall it right now!). Above all, use your gut instincts!! The biggest scam that I fell for left me with sleepless nights, etc. Now, I try to help others not fall for those same scams or other scams!
Also, if they push you and state that the offer is only available on THAT phone call, then HANG UP!!!! If it's that great of an offer and a legitimate company, the same offer (or very close) will be available tomorrow, or a week from now, or a month from now. Take your time in researching it first! This also applies to the web sites that state "you will only see this page one time ever." If you clear your cookies, you may see the page again. If not, you can always go to the library or use someone else's computer to get the same offer. They use that as a gimic to rope you in.
Now, if you are a risk taker and love to take chances, you may want to check out more options without as much research. Just remember that you need to be comfortable with losing any money you invest if it ends up to be a scam!
All these tips (including by others in these posts) apply to marketing strategies as well!!! There are scammers that will get your hard-earned money by selling you great-sounding marketing packages to get your site at the top of the search engines or to get guaranteed clicks, etc. Most of these are scams. Do your research on marketing as well!
Another option is to create your own web site! You can create an e commerce store with drop shipping, or sell your own product, or just provide info regarding something that interests you! Maybe you want to move or expand your existing business online!
The web is always expanding and your options are endless! There are so many options out there I wish you all luck in finding something that fits you AND isn't a scam!

Neisa, will tell you a thing that i am a single mom. I have been in service for a small firm in my area as an operator. The earning wasnt enough for me and my 5 year old son (a year ago). Then i started looking for small online business, where by investing little time, I can have a stable income. I have tried my hand at everything, from content developing to affiliate marketing.
Recently, I came across http://www.makethatdollar.com and will tell you that it has been giving me substantial income for spending very little time. Probably, it might work for your needs too....Have a look at it....
Or else try your hand at content developing, as it is another chance of earning good for a mother, who has very little time to offer..

Hello,
You can try to make your own tuition agency. In my country we can do it without (often) leaving our house because basically you only need to make calls to arrange the students & the tutors, a bit of interviews and advertise on the internet.
