Hi all,
I know this forum is loaded with smart and intelligent people, wonder if anyone knows any REAL home-based business that actually works ? I see lots of ads for get wealthy in a month and require you purchase their package. Does anyone here know if any of those systems work in real life ?
I am pregnant, and would like start looking for a home-based business that can give me some decent income. Certainly don't want to be scamed.
Thanks in advance for all your help, would appreciate any experiences or insights.

As far as home based businesses, the only ones I know that are legit are those that they start up themselves. Those ads you see where they say you can make an X amount of money for processing medical bills and working from home are usually hoax. I've had a few friends do those for money on the side and it became a scam where they lost money and actually owed the bank for fraudulant transactions. If anyone does find something, I'd love to do make a little extra on the side too. |

Julie's right, that stuff is just a "come on". I work from home which is why you can see me here so much throughout the day. I'm an Exec. Director for a start-up nonprofit for animal welfare. I also sell a couple of my "potions" at the local healthfood store (one of the reasons I want that baby to survive!) Occasionally (when I'm in the mood to create), I sell my hand-painted cakes or cater small functions like retirement parties, garden club functions, etc.

p.s. I tried selling on eBay. Set up my store with nice graphics. The whole nine yards. What a waste of time and money! All I ever made just paid my fees. So, I closed the store. |

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I think that ebay is a good option if you can find something that you are interested in and get it a low enough price that you can make a profit. If you decide to go that route, do all the leg-work and research to find suppliers now, before the baby comes. Good luck! |

-typing
-data entry
-entering ads

It's just hard to find something you're able to do from home.
Those are the typical scam positions that claim you can do from home. |

I suppose you can be a "psychic" or a phone sex operator. Actually, I'm wondering the same thing myself. Home based businesses are cool. I want an internet store but I don't know what to sell. |

me too, I want an online store but don't know what to sell....
Thought about being a "psychic", but I think it's immoral to take advantage of someone who really are desperate. No one who is doing GREAT go to a psychic. About the XXX operator, I don't think I can refrain from laughing, NO CAN DO !

I know of some people who make a nice income selling stuff catering to fetishes on eBay ... like smelly shoes... . Give you an eg. requirement: size 11, narrow. Shoes must be worn a certain way, and an imprint of the toes must be on the soles. Shoes will be supplied. Fee: $200/pair.
Another person, is making it as an online dominatrix. She abuses these guys for money. They are suppose to give her all their money or something like that.
Sorry, can't be more helpful... |

I worked from home for about 12 years summarizing legal testimony. It's a good thing there was no or not much of an Internet for most of that time, or I never would have made it . (Would never have gotten any work done.) |

Well, I guess you can market yourself as a wicked, mean dominatrix phone sex operator then. You can laugh all you want! Feel free to eat your lunch while you're chatting away too...tell them to F-off if they complain. |

That's a fantastic idea, knowing a lot of men love being tortured, I can pose as a XXX operator from burning HELL....
Please help me GOD ! Please steer me away from the evil thoughts and give me a real solution

AOL has an article up about "make millions in your pajamas." It's from Inc. Magazine.
Here are the 11 home-based businesses they list:
E-learning provider
Geriatric caretaker
eBay Adviser
Background checker
Technology consultant
Debt collector
Weight-loss consultant
After-school teacher
HR consultant
Cyber administrator
Personal chef
AOL is free to anyone now, but in case they take down the article before you see it, I saved the text. If anyone wants it, you can PM me. |
