I'm a stay at home mom because I want to raise my kids myself. At the moment I'm short of cash and need any ideas on how to make extra money, not a lot of money just to cover the basics from day to day. Also a friend of mine is very succesfull in selling perfume which she buys straight from the factory. Im planning on selling perfume as well but then again, I need to save money in order to buy in bulk. Any advice will be appreciated

The first question you ask yourself is what skills you have. You can use your skills to work from and offer certain services!

I know a company with a similar scenario, where you buy from them and you sell to your clients. It is called Amway.

Man, you love pimping out that free internet advertising thread don't you! Ha ha ha! :D

Yes I do! It's good stuff! I love to help people to try to get ahead! It works for me!

My wife started a Daycare out of the house when my kids where small so she could be home when they where growing up.
Over the years she made a lot of good friends from the business and had the advantage of being home during the day.
She started a Cake decorating business as well and since you like to bake that may work for you.
I always admire someone that makes the extra effort to provide a stable homelife for the kids
Good luck

Speaking of pimping stuff out, I'm actually building a company that's specifically designed for stay-at-home parents. (I don't want to say "Stay at home moms" because I actually have custody of my son as a single father.)

We're still building the website, but the business structure is in place, as is the training. If you're interested, I'll be more than happy to show you the link once we finish it? Then you'll have one more option to choose from, whether you decide to take the job or not.

Good Disition U Can Do It.

Childminding

I just am reading an article in the December 4th's edition of "Woman's World" on at home work. Page 49. Wish I could scan it and paste it here.

What I post is their "how to spot a scam" - "Legitimate work at home listings will never charge you a fee to sign up or require you to purchase something before you can start. And they won't make exaggerated claims of what you can earn."

Shygrneyzs just posted what I was thinking. I used to have a childminder that was scammed by too good to be true money making schemes. I could see she was being ripped off even though I was 10. Sometimes it is much harder than it looks to shift produce bought from these home sales places, also the hours don't match any possible financial gain. Anyway what I'm saying is be careful!

Personally I think childminding seems the best solution, it pays pretty well and your kids get to meet other children. You could try gettign childcare certificates and first aid certificates if you have the time/ money. They alow you to charge more and would give you a competitive advantage.

True, about the childcare. A provider can get licensed by the county and get signed up for the nutrition program, that reimburses food costs. Plus there is the additional training opportunities. CPR and First Aid are usually mandatory - depends on the state requirements. But even if not required, it is a best practice. Helps when parents know the person they want to watch their child is trained.

Good idea to have a tax consultant also. Just because your home is used for your business does not automatically give you deductions.

I have been in similar situations to yours. My kids are grown now, but I have tried just about everything out there and know what has worked for me and what hasn't. I am a nurse and a business woman. Below are the things that have worked (marked yes next to them) and that haven't (marked no next to them). I am not saying that they will all work for everyone, or that the ones that didn't work for me won't work for you, but this is from my personal experiences.

Medical transcribing-yes

Because this thread has been spammed so much by advertisers; the thread has already had a sufficient number of posts, is old and the original poster hasn't returned to it in a very long time, this thread is now CLOSED.

Thanks!
