Hi there,
I am a mother of two kids and now looking for options to earn some extra bucks by working from home as i cant leave my kids alone since no one is there to look after them.I tried findin sites where i could get such work but on surveying the same i found that half of them were not authentic,some had no returns and many first asked for prior investments.This has really upset me and ihave been trying to figure out whether there are genuine sites which really pay you a good return for the work that u do or is it a blind alley leading or rather misleading u nowhere.It is very frustating to feel that even thoug u want to work genuinely there is no work available.What to do & How to do is a big question .Which is the right place to search for such jobs without getting fooled or waylaid.

The best advice I can give you is to join a site like Yuwie or zenzuu. You will only earn a little bit of cash for using the site but you will meet lots of people who are all doing the same thing- earning money from home. They will give you advice and links to the best sites as well as describing their experiences with genuine schemes and scam ones. If you want to join, my referral link is http://r.yuwie.com/jazzchameleon, which helps me. You can then refer other people which helps you.
All the best
Jazz :)

Some survey sites do work, but you have to know what you're doing. I've been paid by CashCrate twice, and I earned just short of $45 my first month. The trick is to make sure you read the forums and learn from those that know what they're doing. If you're interested, there's a link on my profile and I've also blogged about it.
Other than that, the best thing going is right here at myLot. I've been paid every month since joining in mid-February and it's not hard, you just need to be active. It's easy to post a discussion and respond to others, there's always something to 'talk about'.
I've got loads of tips that can help you as you learn your way around her and maximize your myLot experience. Check my profile for that as well.
Welcome!

They did pay by check only, but they've just added PayPal again.

I have just started something that pays decent and is fun to do. I am not sure if you have to be from the US to get in or not. Are you good at typing and finding information quick? Do you think you can pass a timed general knowledge and typing test? I may have something for you if you are interested. Send me a friends request and I will send you the information I have.

i know a data entry job over the net. they pay thru paypal. unfortunately, this is not a 'get rich fast' site. the maximum amount you can earn a day is $.75. so roughly, you can earn $20 for each month. enough to request payment from them.
i have been paid and proof of such is posted in my profile page. for me, this is not my main source of income, but it sure is an additional help.

Hello sonalp! Like you, I've also been victimized by these scam websites that offer me more money for a little effort. Some websites I have even invested a portion of my money hoping to get a bigger return but no, they run off and took my money. After years of learning all the ins-and-outs of earning money online, I learned to become careful and choose only those websites that I deem worthy of my time, effort and resources. I have plenty of websites that have never failed me (yet).
So I made a blog about them.
http://pagkakaperahan.blogspot.com/
In my blog are just two items that I consider the best in giving money. I still need to spend more time updating my blog because for sure, I still have many of my proven-paying websites to be included there. Please check it out. Thanks.

Well, I am not sure how you are going to find legit pay from home jobs.
The few sources I have are paying a few dollars a month.
Go to my blog from my profile.
All the paying sites are paying and I am averaging about 15-20 dollars a month.
I am constantly looking to increase this source of income. AND will update when I do.
Do take a look. And of course, if you manage to find jobs that pay you to work at home, I am open to them as well.
Keep each other updated. 
Add me as a friend on your list, then turn on the notification. That way, you will be one of the earlier ones to be notified when I update my blog!

this is a common problem happened to mothers.
all monthers have to give up their jobs for cyesising and looking after baby.
i'm also a girl,one day,i have to marriage and have baby.
my job is international sales, i'm skillful, i don't have to work for company, i can work for myself, that means, even i can't go out, i can make money at home.
as for you, in my opinion, you can open a shop on line or at home or hire a room in the downtown if you like business.

Well, if ur a housewife and have no income. I would recommend u to either make money by surfing online or gaming online. I would suggest gaming inestead.Why not try popular games, WOW ? or other games which is official. u might take 1 to 2 month to reach a fairly outstanding level but the money you earn when u sell it would and earned more than surfing online to make money. Those account are sellable and items too. (note* official web might be illegal, but do it privately . just dont get caught )
* I do not perform such things. just a useful suggestion.

Hi,
Try sites such as Clixsense.com and Poststoriches.com . These might not pay you much .Still ; you would be getting earnings nevertheless .

I can understand how frustrating that would be!
I use a wonderful GPT site that I know would be perfect for you. The owner is actually a mother herself and speaks frequently to everyone through messages and on the forums. I'd love to give you my referral link if you're interested, please drop me a line at hatsoff2tom@yahoo.com I'm not sure how to put the link in my profile yet lol.

You can open a small shop on the internet.Maybe it is hard at first.You can show the things you are interested.All the bargains can be finished on line.That is convenient for you,you can have a try.

Hi, I'm sort of in the same boat as you are. I have a hard time figuring out the legitimate sites from the scams. What I'm ending up looking into is becoming a childcare provider. There are a lot of parents who need someone to watch their kids for a few hours after the kids get out of school. You could do this even while taking care of your own children. It's not a lot of money, but if you like kids, it might be worth considering.
