I am a stay at home mom looking for a legit home business online...?

Please no scams or fake people...just real, honest home workers who have experience!! I have tried Melaleuca...didn't work for me...would like other options. Thankyou!

Hello,

My name is Melinda and I have had a successful home business for a while now. I decided to get together with my self-employed friends and family and create a free website to help others start their own business (and avoid scams). During my research I found the following sites specifically for work at home moms and dads:

1. Freelance mom - a support network for women working from home. They can help you to locate freelance work from home jobs. Their warm and supportive community is rich with home business ideas and internet marketing strategies to support you and help you to make smart decisions from choosing your business to promoting it.

2. Hire my Mom - their goal is to connect Mom Professionals, with a variety of backgrounds, to small and large businesses looking to outsource projects and jobs of all types. (Examples include: administrative, writing, graphic design, accounting, bookkeeping, customer service, marketing, public relations, programming, web design, coaching, sales, desktop publishing, payroll, human resources, database development, medical billing, etc.)

3. HBWM - provides its members with support, networking, free advertising options, information, a monthly (print) newsletter, email discussion list, searchable member directory, member spotlights and corporate discounts on various products and services. (They do not provide jobs.)

4. Mom's Cafe - provides access to their article archive and their featured articles that discuss home based businesses, advertising, marketing, networking, and other resources. They have also included various career kits to help you get started on your home business.

Also - our site is:
Great Home Based Businesses and we have specific pages on:
- Hundred's of Great Ideas for Home Based Businesses by Category
- Resources for Selling from Home
- Resources for Providing Services from your Home
- Avoiding Scams
- Kit businesses such as Pampered Chef
and a lot of other pointers.

PLEASE NOTE: we do not have a business or product that we want to sell you - our site is all about providing information.

If you are considering kit businesses like Pampered chef etc... - we have a page dedicated to these businesses on our site but the short answer is that: these businesses are ideal for people who do not have the time (stay-at-home parents) or comfort to leap into self-employment without a well established business concept and support system. These kits provide everything from products to sell - to marketing material - to business forms - to advice. HOWEVER you need to be comfortable selling and hitting up your friends and family and complete strangers to buy items directly from you. You also need to stage alot of "home parties" in order to make any money with the low margins alot of these companies provide. People who are successful with these businesses earn their money by recruiting alot of other people into their "sales teams". If you are comfortable with this then these businesses can be great.

My key pieces of advice in picking your business:
1. Do what you know and love.
2. Follow your instincts.
3. Figure out how to provide value to your clients.
4. Talk to successful home business owners that you know and trust.
5. Whatever you do - try not to limit yourself to one income source - one of the best ways to grow your small business is to open yourself up to other income streams. If you start a catering business maybe you could also teach cooking classes in your house, or if you start house cleaning business then you could also stage houses for sale. This approach has been invaluable to me - allowing me to get through slowdowns in my "core" business.
6. Accept that "get rich quick" schemes only work for 1 in every million people and generally require illegal activity - instead try to build a lasting business that will continually pay you a reasonable amount.

Anyhow - that's my two cents - Good luck with your business - I'm sure if you do your homework you'll be very successful!!

I was looking for a legitimate home business on-line as well and I am so happy that I found Ameriplan. I was very leery of scams and really researched Ameriplan thoroughly before I decided to do it. I found out that Ameriplan is a 15 year old company that has the highest ratings with the Better Business Bureau and is a member of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce. This is an amazing company and it has changed my life! Originally I just wanted to make a couple hundred dollars to supplement my income, now I have decided I would like to replace my income. Just like with any business though, you have to be very committed and consistent with this business (at least 10 hours per week). I am not a mom yet, but there are so many stay at home mom's that are a part of the Ameriplan team. I don't know if this is the right fit for you and your family, but I encourage anyone who is looking for a legitimate home based business to visit www.iboplus.com/newman or contact me for more information.

Thanks,

I make all my income working part time online at home in Melbourne. I have found several good companies who have Australian opportunities that are popular and make good money. If you would like a free marketing information pack posted to you. Telephone Michael 03 93607375 any time

Try Ebay. Start by selling some things you find around the house that you don't need anymore. Go to yard sales and garage sales to pick up other things to sell. Once you get the hang of it, figure out your niche. Become a "collector" and start buying and selling those types of items.

Just like any real business it will take time to learn and grow your business.

Have you thought about home parties?
With an online site of course.
I am an independent consultant for Brown Bag Parties.
We are a 3 yr old company that has about 900 reps worldwide.
We are looking for more consultants!
We need help since so many ladies want to host parties most of us reps are very busy.
I know that I am the only rep in my area. The closest one is an hr away.

that's my site. You can read more on there.
Reps earn about $285 per party on average. That's cash in your pocket too. You earn 50% commissions from the start. No other romance company starts you off at 50%. You have to work up to it.
If you want to see a video on the parties, you can visit my myspace pg.

I also promote an online cell phone site. All I do is post the referral banner.
I made $325 last month. You can actually sell cell phones from the site so just think how much you could make if you actually try.
