Since both my boys will now be in school "full-days" starting in September I have launched my search for employment that I can do from home. One of my sons is disabled (autistic and non-verbal), which complicates the child-care issue. Unfortunately, more often than not, I have reached some rather disenheartening dead ends, especially those which promise great returns for an investment of money....essentially get-rich-quick schemes...which are definitely not what I am interested in finding. It's taken a little while, but I do have some leads, and I am very hopeful that they will, in not too long a time, bear fruit. So, I'm just curious to know if there are any other members here who are in the same boat, so to speak, as I am??

Hi there. I'm always searching for something out there to be able to work from home. I have joined some sites and make some money from it but it's not yet to support me at this point but I keep pushing because I have a five year plan to work from home full time. If you want you can check out this link http://www.moreinfo247.com/9137043/CB SFI is a reputable home business and it's free to join. They are a member of the BBB and they do offer you good information on how to start your business with them. I have been with them for almost two years and they are a good place to start. Like anything you get out what you put in so if you put in the effort with it I think you will see results. I also just started a new blog where I'm tracking all the ways I'm discovering to make money online so I can pay off my debt. Feel free to check it out. If you find any new opportunities let me know. http://debt-fighter.blogspot.com Good luck.

Hi, if you looking for something that is not a get rich quick scheme and not afraid of work. The company I work for is awesome. You can earn some very decent money, but at the same time just sitting around doing hardly anything won't get you far very fast. Take a look at my blog and let me know what you think. http://thebusinessofourgv.blogspot.com/

I have a Job..but have joined a program whose juice I have been drinking...they have an awesome home based oppportunity where everyone works together.. I hope you find your job..from home..but remember any business requires you to put up some money whether you buy office items or set up your phone for unlimited calls.. The good thing is everything you have to spend for a home business will come back to you during tax preparation.

Seems like you've got a good head on your shoulders and have done a little homework (no pun intended!). One thing you really need to remember is that we are all different. What works for me might not work for you - that doesn't mean mine is bad or wont work for others. Or that you are not cut out to work from home. Working from home has many benefits, but if it's a worthwhile opportunity, you're going to have to work at it. Some people think work at home is sitting back letting the money roll in, that's not how it works. You have to take it seriously in order to make it work. If you're still looking for things, check out my website - www.MommiesWithMoney.com - for some information. I'd love to talk with you and let you know what I'm doing and see if it's something that would work for you. Best of luck to you!!!!!

Yes, I most definitely due to transport reasons and the fact that I am still a full time student, and spending the most of my available free time at home is such a pleasure. But in saying that, I am still unsuccessful in finding something productive in terms of income and employment at home. How is everyone else going with their searches?

I have been on the search for a legitimate work at home opportunity for a good 6 or 7 years now. THERE IS NOT ONE! It appears that the only people really making money in those type companies are those people who own them. I recently became an Arbonne Representative which has really worked out quite well for me. The only thing is, it is starting your own business so you have to be willing to dedicate yourself to it. I really believe in the company the products and what they stand for. I have the ability to work my business around my sons schedule which is awesome! My girlfriend makes about $4000 a month doing it part time around her 4 kids.. thats why I got involved. If you want to send me a private message, I will gladly send you info on it.

Hai May Ann, Do not join any site by paying money. Most of them are just scammers. I have 2 wonderful sites, where the membership is free, earning depends on how much time you can spend in the site, by just viewing other members' file. These are reasonably good sites for making money and If this interests you, you can send me a PM so that I can introduce you to these sites.

Hello, I am new here as well, just joined today. I work from home selling a product I truely believe in, it has helped my father in law out tremendously with his health as well as all the prayers! That is why we got into it in the first place, because of what it has given us. The company founders believe in God (that was important to us, good morals) they give to many charities and truely care. It is NOT a get rich quick scheme, it takes hard work as does anything worth doing in life:) You can check it out at http://www.faithinmangosteen.com/goland2/ML Let me know if you have any questions. Take care and God Bless!
