What is the weirdest work from home job you've ever did? Regardless of whether it paid good, ended up being a scam, or ended up paying really poorly. I would say that at the time, my "weirdest" work from home experience was ironically, Mylot. At first, it was really weird about earning just for discussions subjects but then all of a sudden i realized i am actually making money. Not amazing money, but for quite simply talking about whatever it's some nice chunks of cash. What about yourselves? What is your weirdest "work from home job" you've ever did?

I would have to say that the weirdest work from home thing I tried, was, gifting. I gave $100 to someone and they were to gift me back with $100 too. Needless to say, that never happened and my name never cycled to be listed to receive any money. It was a pure joke!

Yeah, that's just a tad bit weird. I have heard of variations of that and 99% of the time they are scams. My general rule of thumb is if they want money, it's a scam.

I painted little girls nails for a few bucks. They would knock on my door and ask me to put little designs on their nails. Most times, I would do it for free. The other thing I did from home is freestyle hair styles for boys and men who had long hair. At $10 a head once or twice a week, it was good pocket change! These two things were accidental side jobs, meaning I didn't set out to do it.People would find out from others that I was good at freestyling things, so they would ask me to enhance their appearance. People don't realize that natural talent, whether major or minor can get them paid. Since I'm a freestyle artist, I can make money off of more than one area of art. It literally pays to be creative.

How about cleaning a pig sty on a hot day in the summer, in your bare feet, when the flies were so thick you couldn't open your mouth without getting a mouthful? The pleasure of the job was feeling the cold manure on the cement floor, oozing up between your toes, with each step you took, as you shoveled the odorous manure out through the open window.

I don't think I have ever done a weird job from home. I actually work from home now in my main job which is selling holidays over the phone but, other than that I have never done any other kind of job from home

This one time I tried to work from home by signing up for this type for money site. They promised good money just for typing. After paying them 15$ or something for joining fees, found out had to go sell their software to make money. Big scam, didnt make a dime.
