What is a good work at home business?

I am a mother of 3 children and my oldest is in school. I just had a baby 2 months ago and my middle child will be 3 in just a few months. I am currently doing day care out of my home so that I can be home with my kids. I would like to get out of day care in about a year, but still need a steady income. My husbands job pays decent but not enough to support all of us. I need to find a good work-at-home business that requires little or no money to start and little or no training. Does anyone have any ideas? I have already tried Herbalife and just couldn't get going with it because they kept wanting a lot of money to get me going. Please help.
Additional Details
I can't raise my child care rates right now and I am at my limit for kids.

If you are an accomplished typist - word processor and have recently visited your local city college or university librarian, you can apply as a "certified" graduate typist, earning between $1.50 to $2.00 per page for a master or doctoral thesis. The librarian will provide you with a sample of the typing template (i.e., margin settings, font selection, page set up, etc.) in order to complete these projects. An average weekend income is about $300-$400 for two days work.

Good luck!

You have many great party plan businesses but it depends on your geographic area... Some areas are better than others, also what time will you spend working your new business, do you mind being gone a few nights a week at parties, training, making many phone calls ect?

Hello, if you are interested in working from home, this is a great business. First of all I want to tell you I have checked out tons of work at home jobs..going to extremes of looking them up on the Better Business Bureau website..all the ones I have found have a NEGATIVE file..then I came across this work at home job..looked them up and they are satisfactory..they have been in business for 9 yrs now. I took the first step by giving them a chance and it is the best decision I have made for myself..they train, give you everything you need to actually make money and everyone who works for them are extremely helpful. I urge you to look over their site and watch the video that is presented (which tells you what the business is about and how you make a profitable paycheck). If you have any questions or just need more information please feel free to contact me, I dont mind helping at all!!! Just thought Id let you know about this because I have went thru the same thing you are going thru..looking at tons of online jobs to find nothing but a waste of my time. Good luck with whatever you choose to do!!

I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.

Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.

What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.

Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $100 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $300, $500 even some asking for $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.

If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.

I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $2000 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $300 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $5000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $95,000 a year with this company.

The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.

I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!

I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.

Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : - )

When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?

Hi. Congratulations on you new baby:) I am also a mom of three (16, 3 1/2 and 1). I have started with a great company that has been around for 22 years and is in great standing with both the BBB and Chamber of Commerce. There is a very small start up fee, normally $29 but the special in Feb. is $14.50. I do not do any selling, stocking, delivering, billing or difficult paper work. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Good Luck,
Lisa

You can just work at home online and get paid...they are all scams... I mean you have to pay a fee to work... no don't even pay... thats how there company makes money... Why would you pay them to work for them... they should pay you... so don't even try it.. I have done it many times and only lose my money... And the free ones... they never paid you... so don't even try... that is why i am going to school and not worry about online making money... you can still sell in ebay though..

The easiest way to make money on-line is to be someone’s affiliate (selling other people’s products). You need to search which product to sell.
As an affiliate marketer you need 3 things in a program to maximize your income:

1) A product that people actually NEED.
2) A product that pays GENEROUS commissions.
3) A product that pays you residual monthly income so you can make a sale one time and get paid FOREVER.

There are many legitimate online businesses with ZERO capital.

You can try freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years

I appreciate your heart and effort with herbal life. Try this site it may be helpful.

I have a few home businesses, and because you are purchasing a business, there will always be a start up fee. The good news is you can earn that back very quickly if you put some time into it. As for training, nowadays, almost all training is done on the phone and the internet, but training is a VERY important key to making your business fly. Herbalife is only one company and I believe that they have already experienced hyper-growth, making it quite difficult for a beginner to get it off the ground. Even experienced networkers that I know are not having success with it. The key now is to get into something different. Something that is really up to date with all of the business tools and especially the compensation plan. I have found those companies and it is easier than ever to earn income from home now.
Let me know what your interests are and perhaps I can steer you in the direction you're looking for.

Affiliate marketing (selling other people's products for commission) is a good way to make money online. The absolutely best way to start this from the very beginning is with a book called Niche Marketing On Crack. This is the link if you want to take a look http://www.nichemarketingoncrack.com?a_aid=8cdf6b79. Using this book I make about $3000 a month part time and the only expenses I have are domains and web hosting (about $50 a month for both). The book is very step by step and there's a forum as well where I and other members help out anyone who's new to it.
