I like my job and am fortunate enough to only have to work two days a week. Unfortunately those two days are 10 hours with a 45 min. commute each way. I would like to find something I could do from home for a little extra money and be able to work shorter days at my current job. Does anyone have any ideas or advice on working from home?

Are you still looking for work from home? It's been quite a while since your post here. Hee hee! Sometimes it can take a long time to find the right thing to do from home though. It took me over three years to find the right thing for me. I'd be happy to chat with you about what I do if you are still looking and interested. Just let me know. :)

Good luck to you!

Hi K.-

I found this great work from home business that I'm trying out. It's an at-home schooling for medical transcription called At-Home Professions. After you graduate from this school (about 4-5mos) you can work for any doctor in any state from home or at an office.

This is one business that will never run out and will always be in demand! You should check it out and see if it's for you. Good luck!

The good thing about it was you make your own hours that you work and you can even have people come to your house. But like I said it didn't work out too hott for me. I hope you find something that will for you.

I found myself needing to do something else once I found out I was having twins!!!! I stayed home for a while but when money got tight I found direct sales. I have done a few of them but found that I had to work WAY to hard to get sales. Then I had a third child and $$ got even tighter. I started to sell tastefully Simple and I love it. I have been doing it for three years now and I have NEVER had to beg for a sale. Everyone loved the food and when they run out they call ME for more not the other way around. Good income while staying home w/ my babies. Check it out www.tastefullysimple.com/web/adebettencourt and feel free to e-mail me w/ questions. ____@____.com

HI K.!

My name is S.. I live in Rumney NH, and have been looking for a legitimate Home Business also.

I have found The Wellness Tree. We are a referal based Company that offers non toxic household, and health and beauty products. This Company has been around 22 years, and is completely debt free.

The wonderful part about this business, is the fact that everthing is completely 100% guarenteed! If after enrolling, and using some of the products, you are not happy, you get a total refund.

January is actually 1/2 price enrollment. So for $14 you can become a member . Our membership fee is like BJ's, Cosco, or Sams Club. You pay a membership fee, then you are elegible for fabulous deals and promotions!

Please visit www.wellnesstree.net and get back to me. I would love to discuss this opportunity more with you.

I am thrilled with this company. The products are phenominal! The support personal are always available to answer any questions, and to coach you into your own Home Business.

Aside from needing additional income, I was also researching Natural ADHD remedies. When I found the two all rolled into one.......I was excited!

Well, all for now! I would rather chat on-line or on the phone about this opportunity. I do have AOL-IM, MSN-messenger, and Myspace-IM. Once we have connected via PC, maybe I can give you a call!?

I just recently started watching a child out my home. But I was actually thinking about supplementing that by selling Avon. You can set your ownhours work right from home.

I work 100% from home and help other Moms work from home all around the country. I own The Portland Preschool Directory. We sell local advertising to businesses interested in reaching parents of preschoolers. We help people set up their own local preschool directories and work 100% from home. You don't have to recruit anyone. Email is how you make money, and we only work about 10 hours a week. Check out our Portland site, that made $1500 in the first 6 weeks! http://www.portlandpreschooldirectory.com and feel free to email me at ____@____.com if you'd like more information.

K.,

Have you thought about working for a Direct Selling Company? If so, have you heard of Scentsy "Authentic Wickless Candle"? Extremely safe w/ no wick, soot, lead, or flame. I would highly recommend starting a Scentsy Business! IT has been an amazing opportunity for my family and I.

Our warmers are heated by a 25-watt light bulb in a 2-piece warmer, our candle bars are made of a soft wax packed full of incredible scents. With a burn time of 60-80 hours per Scentsy bar (and sometimes more), over 80 scents to choose from, a wonderful selection of warmers, plus car candles and room sprays, there's something for everyone.

If you are considering a home business, this is a great opportunity for you to get in early with a company that has become a household name! Ask me about MY SPECIAL for anyone interested in BECOMING a Scentsy Consultant! THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO START YOUR SCENTSY BUSINESS since our New Spring & Summer Catalogs will be out soon.

Have a Scent-Sational Day!

(crafts, pottery, baking ect...) you could take what you know and sell on e-bay or if you bake, maybe selling your treats to some bakeries, do you cook well? you could do meals for pregnant and new moms to be delivered. I have seen this a lot in California and it took off. Hope you find something..good luck
