Probably the best idea is to get another job, and try to make money online as a past time.

I agree. I tried making money online also. It didn't work. You could try selling stuff on ebay, that may work.

Sadly, I think you may be right. Just the small matter of having terrible rheumatoid arthritis which makes even getting out of bed an adventure each day. But yeh, i think you are probably right and I might need to get a small part-time job somewhere.

What's your background? What are the reasons you haven't had the success you seek?

Go to www.wahm.com/forum and go into the Telecommuting Moms folder. It doesn't matter whether or not you're a mom, they are very helpful in find work-from-home jobs, LEGITIMATE business startups, etc. There are other resources throughout the site. I discovered my own career through wahm.com. If you scroll down to the Scopist folder, that's where I hang out at times. Scoping is editing for court reporters, to put it simply. There's more to it than that, but if it piques your interest, then take a look. Scoping requires a STRONG command of the English language, grammar, punctuation, etc.

i am a stay at home mothr who tried for almost a year to find a legit work at home job where you can make more than pennies a day. i found this great opportunity as a virtual assistant/ home typist that when i work at it for 40-45 hours a week, i have made an average of $600. a week and an average of $375. a week doing it part time.you get paid everyday via paypal so you never have to wait for a paycheck. for more info, email fav51013@earthlink.net...this opportunity is 100% legit and womenforhire.com even talks about this opportunity, as well as they talked about it and it's great benefits on good morning america when they were interviewed on the show and it was proven to be an opportunity that a stay at home mom, etc can't pass up!

I know several people who make money on the internet. Unless you getting into selling products on ebay or recurting people to work for you you can make some extra money but not a living on the internet. I would use the internet to check the help wanted sites. You may have to move to get a job too. Good Luck
15 Nov 06
Yes i think that may be true. I hope to move to Spain nextyear, then I can teach English as a foreign language. But in the meantime I will have to eat and feed my cats. Just keep trying then I guess

Definitely worth checking out I think. I would like to thank all people who have responded to this discussion. I started it when I was still very new to myLot and did not know about the search function that would have enabled me to access a lot of the information from other people's discussion. Thank you everyone for sharing with me.

There are so many offers online and so many scams. I suggest before you join a site that promises to pay that you get proof that they actually do pay. Never join anything you have to pay for, they are supposed to pay you. You could also visit a local employment agency and sign up with them for freelance work. Many companies need some extra secretarial or data entry work done occasionally and that can often pay quite well. You could also sign up there for temp jobs of all kinds if you don't want to limit yourself to working from home only. Good luck to you.

I started affiliate marketing about 3 months ago and since then I have made well over $3000. I have not been working with it in over a month and still I am making money. In fact, today I went to the mailbox and there was a check in it for $40. I know that does not seem like much but for not working with it in about a month that is great. You can check out my website at http://www.myworkfromhomeguide.com for some great information and businesses you can start with no money!

Thank you, I will have a look. xx

you have to send about 400 cv/s on month if you can't find anything. don't send just on companyes where you see a free post. send at any companies.
15 Nov 06
Made my CV - have sent it off to several companies, Translators Cafe, secretarial work, proofreading, etc. Will just keep on I suppose.

I WISH i was a programmer or web-designer, but not that clever (yet). Anyway, maybe I should study that a bit more and that might be a good way. Thanks anyway

Good Luck with the translating job. I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and know how difficult it is.

Thanks. Yes, there are days that are terrible. I am a lot better now than when it started but wet days are awful. So want to move to Spain, because it is much warmer and rains far less than in UK. Hope your RA not too bad.

Did you ever try Mary Kay? It makes me a nice paycheck. I average $65 a hour doing home parties. I have them come to me since I have small kids at home. I do craft fairs and then just hand out samples and catalogs. You make 50% commission on everything that you sell and the products do sell themselves. The company is over 40 years old and isn't going anywhere. There is no job security out there except to own your own business. www,marykay.com/dcaputo for more information....

I don't think I can do that in UK. I am in a UK company called Ecoflow, have been for a few weeks but have not done much yet. I am going to really give it a go. (in my profile it tells you more about Ecoflow - but you cannot do it in USA - only UK and some European countries). Thanks anyway and good luck with your career
