What can I do to bring in 300.00 + a month, working from home?

Posted: December 27th, 2009 | Filed under: Small Business | 6 Comments »




I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 young kids. My husband and I are finally getting a bigger house, but rent is 400.00 more than we are currently paying, plus higher heating bills for a larger home. I need ideas that I can do from home to earn extra money.
1. Low start up costs
2. No glue guns or paint, I am not crafty
3. It must be legal
4. practical with children underfoot.

I do have a computer, internet, printer, fax, scanner, phone, DSLR digital camera, transportation etc.

I am considering childcare for kids from one family, but the taxes with childcare are a pain I would like to avoid. I have done childcare before, I am quite qualified especially as a mom to three.

Any ideas?
I am not looking for “get rich quick” scams in the form or 10,000 websites to scam me, I can find that on my own.
Of all the links posted so far, very few are actually helpfull. I don’t want to work for a foreign company that has no upstanding record in the USA.
I want a legetimate IDEA or plan to make money on my own, not a scam!

Thank you to those who recognized this as my question :)

    You can become an affiliate for another company. You can go to clickbank or commission junction to source for products you want to promote.

    Try this site: it can make you good money and it is easy to do. There are no fees and it pays out every Friday. It is one of the few work at home websites that has made me good money consistently. Or try one of these other good work from home websites on this site:

    Hello. I can definitely relate to your story because I’ve been there. I have done a couple of home business before until I found one that was right for me. It has been the most simple and profitable business I have ever done. You may take a look a t my site at for more info. We provide complete training and ongoing support. If you can say “Do you burn scented candles” you can make money with this company. This is a family friendly business and my kids even have their favorite scents “cotton candy” imagine that. Anyway good luck in your search and I hope you find something that fits you.

    Best Wishes

    I am an independent consultant for The Body Shop at Home – you know that great store in the mall that has all those yummy home scents and body butters and such – you can sell those through “girls nite out” parties from home. There is a start up fee, but if you sell enough product in the first month, you get that back!! You can earn an extra $300 just doing only 3 parties a month (based on total of $400 in sales/party-which is our average). Send me message for more info or you can visit my website. It’s tons of fun, set your own hours, and you can work towards trips (this year the trip is to Aruba!!) Good luck and hope to hear from you soon!
