Work From Home

Hello everyone! Does anyone know of any work-at-home jobs that really work? I have two small children and I stay at home caring for them. Any tips on how to make extra money from home? Thanks in advance!

Denise, what kind of skills do you have? Maybe you can convert a hobby like cooking or painting into a part-time profession. Many stay at home moms also provide childcare services at their homes to earn some money.

You can also consider medical transcription, which can be a pretty lucrative and stable home-based career. The only caveat is that you should have prior clinical experience or medical transcription training to get your foot in the door. If you're open to the idea of going back to school, then short-term, online training courses are offered by many vocational schools.

Hi Denise. You might try making something that you can sell to small shop owners. For example, I make jewelry and take it to small boutiques that buy it outright from me. Look around at the shops; what are they selling, get some ideas.

Some sites to check and get feedback from others wanting to work from their homes are wahm.com, workplacelikehome.com, ratracerebellion.com. You can go on the forums and see new listings and the requirements daily and get feedback about the company or the work from others also. I hope this helps someone. I wish they had jobs like this when my children were small. you could also sew or make things and sell them on www.etsy.com or even ebay.
