Hi everyone, I have a full-time job but since I am soon giving birth to my first child. I am thinking of having a break from work for several months until my baby is big enough. I am thinking of looking for some home based job, online data entry online/offline typing job. I am try too look over the Internet for work from home program but i noticed most of these program requires a fee. I would like to seek help from you, if you know any home based program that doesn't require any fee and it is legit in making payments. having a baby would can be costly and I want to maximized my time as I stay at home before I give birth and after I give birth. I would appreciate you help a lot fellow mylotters.

It is quite difficult to make money online but if you are interested in writing then perhaps sites like Suite101 may help you generate a small income. You can try to get qualified as a proofreader which you could do from home. Don't ever do anything that requires payment as they are usually scams!

I have registered for oDesk and take many tests and also applied for many jobs but there is even no invitation yet received... I don't know how it works and what is the procedure of getting job. Do you know anything about oDesk?

Why not write for ReviewStream. Everyone has an opinion with just about anything; turn your frustration or satisfaction into bucks. I've read before here in mylot that a lady has earned $600, though I didn't remember how long it took her to earn that much.

Hi kenchiprincess, it is good to hear that you are going to give a birth to a child. I also resigned by job due to the same issue. Now my son is 5 years old, so i am also searching for online jobs. In this trial i found some of the websites where we can earn online but also found some are not legit. So be careful while choosing works.

thanks, yes there are a lot of illegitimate sites out there that they just ask for payments without giving the job that they have promised you of. Well as what you have said we need to be careful in looking for online jobs. Hope everything is fine with you child and he/she grows healthy and great!!!
