Work From Home Job to Save Money???

[deedeew80]

Hi everyone! I am currently a SAHM. I love it and wouldn't change it for the world! However, it is difficult to save for vacations and such. So I was looking into some sort of Work From Home Job. Anyone know of anything that is legit? Any experience with anything? TIA!!!

workplacelikehome.com and wahm.com are two sites that have a lot of information regarding working at home and job leads as well as business opportunities. Be sure to do plenty of research before moving forward. You should never have to pay to get a job (other than the very few companies that charge for a mandatory background check).

I work at home as a self-employed transcriptionist. I had years of experience doing this in-office before I began working from home, but it is possible to start out with little or no experience if you can type fast, have exemplary English skills, can proofread your own work, are willing to do research, and can understand accents. You also may need specific software, great headphones, and a foot pedal. If that appeals to you, the sites mentioned above have folders dedicated to the craft.

Good luck!

If you have excellent English skills, I would recommend what I do!
I work with court reporters editing and proofreading deposition and trial transcripts. There is a financial investment for the initial training and software, but it is well worth it. If you'd like more information, feel free to PM me.

You can't really make "a lot" of money doing it, but check out Textbroker.com. If you're a pretty good writer, and do several jobs per day, it can add up assuming you save everything you make doing it. Good luck!!

It's pretty interesting that people can actually work from home.

Thought it wasn't possible

Liveops or westathome - though you can't have any noise at all so maybe not an option for a mom with little ones at home.

I found one of mine on Craigslist. It took a while of looking there to find one that was actually legit (happened to be a company that my mom's BFF works at, so I knew all about the industry & company).

My other WAH job, I was lucky enough that my dad has an IT consulting company and I knew a bit of programming. This job is by FAR the most lucrative one though.

I have been working at home for years mostly doing phone work over the years for LiveOps and from time to time West. There are other companies that are Phone jobs at home I believe VIPdesk is currently hiring for Eddie Bauer.

Bumping to see if there are anymore ideas out there.

I used to advertise to hire people to work from home and I know other businesses that do too and there are just too many flakes out there and it wastes so much time weeding through them that I no longer list that in my ads. I just try to place regular ads now and then meet someone in person and if they seem normal ask if they are interested in working from home. A lot of people aren't. So it makes it hard!

So I would say to also check local ads on Craigslist and the paper that seem to fit qualifications and inquire if they would consider a work at home person. I've tried posting ads on some of the sites listed previously but it did not work for me to find people so I would imagine other businesses have the same issues. It is so much harder to find a reliable person to work from home than you would think.

Sorry MLM isn't easy to do. You need to be selling to all of your friends and neighbors.
