Help please! Need to make money NOW

United States

My husband just called to say he is taking a second job. He blames me, he feels I'm not trying. I am stuck in the country with no transportation so I am trying different online ventures to make money and they probably will pay off big someday, but someday is not going to cut it. I know how he will blame me and the stress could destroy our marriage. I blame him because he spends waaaayyy too much money and refuses to live within our means. However, the blame game is not going to cut it either. So, here's what I need, legitimate work from home online work that does not cost anything to get started and pays immediately!!!! I've been trying to find something like this for a long time now but getting nowhere. I am turning to you, because with all of us, someone has to know of something and I don't want any business where I have to pay to start, I'm already in a few of them and there is no money. I know I can put a few things on ebay but that won't be much as I have to be able to pay to do that and then ship the items and my printer is not working well enough to print up the postage but I'll start with that for sure but I need something I can actually do - typing - not google adsense, tried that, didn't get it and can't afford the websites. Any ideas? Any employers out there need someone to work from home for them?

mylot is a great way to make a few extra pennies but if you can write, there are a lot of sites out there that you could write for. i would check into suite101.com and see if you could write for them, plus there is associated content and helium.

i bookmarked it so i can choose my favorite 2 articles from associated content to use as a resume to get started. the problem with writing is i just lack the discipline to work it like a job, i get too distracted with household chores and such, but I am trying. i currently write for helium and ac. i will look into suite 101 further and apply. ty so much. i do need to work harder at writing, i have a gift for it, it's just that the pay sucks.

Here's something I came across the other day. You have to bid for work, but apparently it pays. Here's the link: http://www.odesk.com/w/ I signed up, but haven't had the time to take the pre-qualification test as yet. Once you qualify, you can begin bidding on jobs. If you like to write, try Demand Studios. They pay $15 per article and pay weekly by paypal. I've been writing for them for approximately 2 months and have earned $900 so far. I wrote a little review about them and list all of the information here: http://www.nojobformom.com/2008/05/31/demand-studios-is-a-keeper/ I also write for Suite 101. It takes a little while for the money to come in, but it's worth it. Wishing you the best of luck!

I know you already write for Associated Content but have you heard of Demand Studios? They pay $15 an article and they pay weekly. When you apply to them you will need to send in a resume and writing sample. I just sent my link from AC to them. Here is the website if you are interested and it is not a referral link, we don't get paid for referrals: www.demandstudios.com Anyway if you get an email back from then saying they don't have any assignments for you, don't worry because they did the same thing to me when I first applied and a couple of hours later I got the acceptance email. They start you out to write 10 articles at a time, and every once in a while they get slow in approving the articles for pay. The most I have made so far was $135 for one week but others have made $300 or more. I have only been with them for a few weeks. Also you can claim their topics or you can suggest your own. They have a lot of weird topics on there so I usually suggest my own. You will first only be allowed to write how-to articles for ehow.com but after awhile you might be bumped to other sites. Anyway check them out! If you have any questions let me know. Oh and if you want to make more money writing articles, go to this forum: http://www.accentuateservices.com/xmb/index.php There are tons of paying writing jobs on there if you're interested! I am a member of this forum and I love it! Look for me by my user name on there as cwilson26. Good luck! :)

Mrs. Advice, I am working on a few projects here and if you add me as a friend, and message me your addy along with SASE and $2, perhaps I can help. Can't make a guarantee here because it does take time, but, there is a potential for some money to be made.

I don't really think that you can make a wage online, you can make money, but I would say only enough money to be seen as "extra money". May I just ask why you do not have a job? I do not have a car or anything, but I can still manage to get to and from work, I use public transport. I think it is unfair on your partner that he is working two jobs while you do not have one, unless you have a good reason for it, such as being physically unable to do so etc.

I live way out in the woods, there is no public transportation and it is ten miles to walk to town. I cannot physically handle stand up jobs, and office work is hard to find. It is absolutely not unfair if he has to work two jobs because he refuses to live within our means. I have been trying to find work but he won't stop spending. Anyway, he finally moved out and I am still trying to find work.

Sounds to me as if your husband needs to grow up some! Here's a list I'm starting to put together of opportunities to earn online. Not all opportunities listed involve money, but some do, and some just might appeal to you. Remember that I'm going to be adding more as time goes on... http://cfetc.blogspot.com/2008/07/some-of-ways-i-get-paid-for-having-fun.html I can also write and give you some information about a friend who's looking for online workers at her travel business. That would be one place where you can begin to bring in the big bucks--even though it will probably be six weeks or so before you get any income. But, at least, you know that it will be coming. When I relocate her details, I'll send them to you...

Tell your husband to go pound salt, with all due respect. Loads of people are taking on second jobs. For a while last year I had three. If you're looking to make money online, do it because you want to do it not because you live with a crybaby who can't figure out how to be the man of the house. I realize it sounds harsh but reading the first few lines of this post really got my goat. I've been working two jobs for the last two years and, yes, I would LOVE to ditch one of them but it's just not feasible right now. That being said, the reason I ONLY have two jobs and not three anymore is because I've learned how to work a few different online programs. Have a look at my site and see the kinds of programs I'm doing. Maybe you'll find something you can run with. These programs together pay my cell phone bill and keep me in things like XM radio and gym membership. Eliminating a few smaller bills every month is a good thing. Anyway, here's the site: freewebs.com/allgpts

Mturk.com also has minijobs that you can get paid for. There is no cashout amount or time that you need to wait. just set up an amazon payments account.
