I have recently become a stay at home mom to my 18 month old little boy. However, I really need to bring extra income into our home for bills and such. I really would like to try to find something I could do from home, but without any start up fees, because we really don't have the money to do that. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Any advise would be very very helpful.

Thanks so much!
M.

Hi M.!

I have been working from home around my kids and family schedule for the past 7 years and LOVE what I do! Have you ever heard of Usborne Books? Usborne Books carries over 1300 titles of children's books from infant to young adult. I love having these books in my house (both girls were reading by Kindergarten) and love the fact that I am helping other Moms reach their dreams of working from home.

Usborne Books has a great April special and I would love to chat with you how Usborne Books can help you work from home. Feel free to check out my on-line bookstore at www.UsborneBooksInfo.com then email me for more info at ____@____.com I love the fact that I have been adding an additional stream of income to our budget, while being home with my kids!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
D.

I am not sure how much you need to be bringing in but I am a home daycare provider and for me it has been very lucrative. If you can handle juggling other children you could babysit other children, most people charge 160-200/week so if you could handle 2 other children you could make around 400/week. It's not for everyone but I am so appreciative I can be home with my boys. Good luck!

Hi M.,
I am a Pampered Chef Consultant and have been for 2 years now. I got started when my daughter just turned 1 for the same reason - we needed extra income and I wanted to stay at home. Although there is a start up cost of $155, if you decided to host a show, you can take up to $40 of your FREE product total and put towards that which would make it $115 - most consultants make that within 1-2 shows. If you are interested in more information, send me your address and I will get a packet in the mail. Feel free to visit my web-site as well (www.pamperedchef.biz/bsanders).

Hi,

I saw your ad and thought I would respond. I am a sahm to 3 beautiful (but very time consuming!) kids. Anyway a couple of months ago I was debating whether or not to go back to work and with daycare costs, and gas prices what they are, I realized I need to do something from home. I thought about doing daycare but realized I value my freedom way too much (and my 3 kids are PLENTY of work;) I found a position with a solid 16 year old company, marketing and enrolling new members into discount health benefit programs. You can work from your house as long as you have internet access and a phone. The company offers 6 months adv. pay, daily pay, health benefits for your entire household, 401k options and life insurance. The position is commission based but very lucrative considering 7 out of 10 people are either uninsured or under insured. The programs are VERY affordable ranging between $19.95 - $59.95 per month for the entire household. This is a booming field to get into given the current economic situation and healthcare crisis. Let me know if you would like more information, it has been a great opportunity for me and my family.

Best of Luck!

How exciting to be home with your son! I also am a stay at home...and have a business, with PartyLite Candles. I truly believe Direct Sales to be a fantastic way to make money and keep your flexibility. I also believe that you should choose a product that you love..and as someone else mentioned, a consumable product is helpful because you can get more repeat business!
I have been with PartyLite for 8 years and have consistent income, and a continuously growing business. This business has ZERO investment...and you can make as little as much or as little as you want for income...on average $100/night for a new consultant.
Questions to ask on ANY direct sales business....What is the investment cost? What kind of training and support will you receive and does it cost anything/where is it?
What level of business are you expected to maintain and for how long? What happens if you don't maintain it? Is there potential for increased commission?
I would be happy to answer any questions for you! I think having your own business is a great opportunity-feel free to check out my website www.my.partylite.biz/sherryelkins to see a little about partylite, AND please contact me directly to talk! I promise, I do not pressure anyone, it does not make for a good relationship if I do! Looking forward to talking to you! S.
