Hi EVERYONE, I have a question, I have been looking for a job thats work from home, does anyone know where I can look or what site? The thing is, there are so many scams, lots of them want money, a few places don't require money, but want experience or I'm like what the chances of them hiring me. I'm from NYC so if anyone has any info rguarding this matter please let me know, you can PM me or anything. Thanks ladies....:)

Yes, but I think mary k, avon and things of the sort are only if you want to provide additional income. What I am looking for is full time work from home, I'm a single mama at the moment. As for the MT, I have no experience in the field, I don't know the coding. Thanks for wishing me luck in my search...

I would also love an opportunity to work from home. I am a single mom, and my son has autism so it's hard to get someone to watch him that can be trusted.

I know medical terminology, and I seen that mentioned. Does anyone know where to begin? I have a certificate in Office Administration, and 2 years experience as a receptionist. I am currently in school for my Accounting degree.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Baby Blue I was in another place here and I cant remember which topic or even which thread but i did write this down for you.
www.liveops.com (http://www.liveops.com)
www.workathomeagents.com (http://www.workathomeagents.com)
www.alpineaccess.com (http://www.alpineaccess.com)

You have to have a home computer from what i got out of this you answer phone calls at home and the information pops up on your computer. You take phone orders for people. You do not call them they call you like when you see on tv call this number to order the ronco hair spray. Some how that links to your computer and you just enter information. They pay you based on how long you answer I think you have to have set hours. Check into it I thought I would pass this along.
Good Luck ( I wrote them in the order of best to worst for pay and flexability)

BabyBlueEyez, the main thing you have to watch out for in type of scenerio is NOT to send them any money up front. this is a RED FLAG, and would be a company to avoid because it's almost always a SCAM. good luck in finding something suitable to enable you to stay home with your family.

Thank everyone for your input. I have register with most already, but have not heard anything as of yet. Wish me luck. PETNANNY, I agree with you, no money up front. There are so many scams out there. Once again thanks everyone.

Has anyone here had personal experience with doing the work-at-home data entry type thing? I see alot of ads for it and I'd like to hear from someone who's actually done it. I don't have internet-or even a home phone, so I'd have to hook it up in order to do this. (I get by on just my cell phone)

Let me know, good or bad, what your experiences were and what to watch out for.

Thanks!

I have been to so many at home data entry web sites.... but I am always a little leary when they ask for money up front.

I would love to be able to sit at home and do data entry for a living! Ya baby, working in my pajamas!!!

I'm thinking it would be a way out of the full time job that I am stuck in now. I'm stuck here cuz of the pay. All the jobs I want to be doing would be a big pay cut. doing this would take up the slack and allow me to be home with my needy little child...ahm...I mean, my cat. (He's Siamese and I get yelled at if I stay away from home too long!)

Stay away from ANYTHING that asks you for money up front. Unfortunately, a lot of these "offers" are BS. I have heard there are legitimate possibilities to do things like medical transcription after taking a brief course in how to do it- check with business and vocational ed programs around your area.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for extra income. I currently work 2 jobs to make ends meet, and still live paycheck to paycheck. :( I feel like all I do is work and come home to cook, do homework with the kids, bathe them and send to them to bed, only to start all over again the next day. :confused: I don't feel like I have any time for my kids. They need me now, and i don't feel like I am there for them because I have to work so much. I've tried the survey things but haven't had any success with any of them.:blah: I don't like to complain but would love to have time for them and take them to a movie or something once in a while. Any suggestions are appreciated.:o

How about selling Avon?

I put stuff on ebay, it does take some researching though to figure out what will sell. But it can be done. I feel you on how hard it is to raise children with a loved one in prison. It's not easy, just take one day at a time and do what you can do. God Bless

You could have a stoop sale. It would give you some extra cash, remove any clutter or unwanted things in your house. Plus your kida could help out and you would spend some time with them as well.

One thing I do is "coupon" and RJ laughs at me but I will never have to buy toothpaste again! There are so many coupons and deals out there that people don't really pay attention to. If you would like more info. PM me and I would be happy to give you some ideas.

Are you crafty?? You can make extra money by creating some craft items and selling them. My daughter and I make jewelry and its expanded into a full time business for her. Most of our customers are tattoo shops, but we are now moving on to making softer pieces and have some beauty salons and a boutique on our customer base as well.

Once again, PTO comes through. Thanks guys for all the info. I am crafty and will have to try that. By saying "coupon" do you mean use coupons to shop? I know that may be a crazy question, but just asking. Thanks again everybody.;)

I too sell things on Ebay. I have made hundreds of dollars, and it's just something I do maybe once a month or so.

I have sold books, video games, purses, old cookie jars, etc. It doesn't cost much to list and item....less than a dollar. The buyer pays the shipping costs.

I collect small boxes and packing materials from work and family when they get something in the mail and you can get cheap, but good packaging tape at your local dollar store or discount mart.

It's also a great place to shop for birthday and XMAS gifts. I found a Care Bear toy that I really wanted to purchase for my niece. The cheapest I could find it in the stores was $12.99. I bought it on Ebay for $10.00 brand new and that included shipping.

I used to sell adult novelty products at home parties. It was a great way to make money. Also it was alot of fun. This industry isn't for everyone though.

Another thing I do is shop around for items that are free after rebates. Wal-greens has a great Super Saver Catalog and sometimes Fuji or Energizer offer rebates on batteries. I stock up and them mail in my rebates. It may take two months to get the money back, but free is free. All it winds up costing me is a 37 cent stamp.

eBay is a great source of extra income, provided you do a bit of homework and learn what will sell and when (things like clothing tend to have a VERY seasonal market). A sharp eye at thrift stores and rummage sales can yield a nice second income.

Expect to make a fair number of trips to the Post Office with packages (you can also order cases of free Priority Mail shipping boxes at www.usps.gov), and you'll find that putting up new listings is a bit of a pain until you've practiced a few times. But the time invested for the return you'll receive is really very little.

One rule of thumb that will make your eBay life much easier: order a case of #7 Priority Mail boxes from the Postal Service (they will also send you free rolls of tape, address labels, etc.). These boxes have a volume of 12x12x8". When shopping for items to resell, keep that volume in mind. If the item you are considering won't fit into that size box (with occasional exceptions--say something larger that will sell for $100 or more), leave it where you found it. This will save you packing time, storage space, time in scrounging boxes, and last but not least, your back.

As a new seller, sell some small items first. Build up your feedback rating a bit, which earns trust from potential buyers. Then list at will!

A couple of my aquaintance lists over 100 auctions per week on eBay and make a full-time living from it. Another friend lists around 15 items per week on average and grosses roughly $800 per month--he estimates that this requires less than 10 hours of work per week, which really isn't bad.

I use TT. I make good money on there. It isn't hard and I only really do it about 5 or 6 hours a week total.

If you google focus groups and data research companies in your area, they usually will interview you and ask to particpate in certain focus groups based on your demographic. They usually pay about $100 for about an hour or hour and a half. I live in Chicago so I don't know any that would be local for you, but like I said, google usually brings up some good ones.

Here is another one that I have just started and I have earned over $50 already. If you are using some of the other sites and you are worried that it won't approve for you it will, just as long as you clear your cookies

wow I am so sorry I haven't been on PTO in a while. The website for LiveOps is www.liveops.com (http://www.liveops.com) you have to have a seperate phone line to work for them and you can work as much or as little as you want you make your own hours. you do have to send in 30.00 for a background check. you get paid .25 cents a minute for talk time. If you need anything else answered let me know, I will be on more often... sorry again. Jennifer oh and you get paid on the 1st and 16th of every month.

When you do the ones that says just enter your email address, do you enter your information as well or do you just enter your email and then exit out of it and then submit or what ?

DaveMoff
02-17-2007, 05:33 PM
Do you mean sites offering freebies or surveys? Because my experience with those that start off asking only for an e-mail are virtually always rip-offs. Once you've given them your e-mail (which they will circulate far and wide to any spammer who will buy it), you'll find yourself facing a set of "participation conditions" that are virtually impossible.

AmberLynn_05
02-17-2007, 08:43 PM
the ones that say enter e-mail with intent to particapate just your e-mail is fine but clear your cookies afterward

I am on three sites. True, you will get a bunch of spam and that is why they even suggest you getting a few free email accounts set up so you don't have to deal with it in your normal email. The three that I have I have never had to pay for anything I didn't want too. Yes, some of the higher paying offers are trials and you need to pay up to $5 for shipping and be sure to cancel them but other than that it is ok.
www.treasuretrooper.com is the one I have earned the most. Over $500 in almost 6 months, bit O have done trials there.

www.cashcrate.com have never spent a dime on this site and earned over $50 my first month

www.swatcash.com I have never spent a dine and have earned over $100 my first month.

I don't know about the others but these three do pay and they are legit, others I can't really vouch for. They are GPT sites.
