do any of you know of an actual "work from home" job that is not a scam?

 

only guy i ever heard of that got rich workin from home was billy gates....so if you can build a better operating system in your garage then youre set


oh yeah, theres also babysitting....you can do that from home if you can get them to trust a guy

 

oh, heh, its for the little lady. :-) were expecting in August and she wanted to make some money to get ready for it. I'm pullin 50 but that is not enough..... course, im only 24.... not too bad
shes not lookin to get rich, just make about 1k/mo

 

woof....1k a month may be hard to do from home, dude...do telemarketers work from home?...i think she would need a trade. i have a pal who fixes computers in his living room ... he makes a decent living.... can she fix computers?

 

no, thats my job. lol
well, we dont really need it, i think she just wants to do something to bring in some money....

 

American Airlines lets you work from home.

 

i could probably work from home if i want.

if yer talking those "WORK FROM HOME" ads, most of them require a ton of work and a lot of money out of YOUR pocket before you start seeing any cash.

With VPN capabilities working from home is easier than ever. I can VPN from home if i wanted and do my job from there, but hell no, i would rather come into the office and get away from the wife and kids for a while.


I understand the need of extra income though, i have been working full time at my normal day job doping telecom, i also have a couple product ideas im working on to manufacturer out of my house and sell online, i also have a side gig going on doing artwork for a toy company who needs puzzle art and technical illustrations.

its hard to find these side things, look into things yer good at doing and see if there is anyway you could make some cash.

also hit up craigslist and see if you can find any leads there, my brother pulls in a decent amount of under-the-table software engineering gigs writing software for people too cheap to pay a high charging professional, he can bang it out under the table on his spare time.

good luck man

 

My wife (God bless her), has her website and she really works hard on it. She has a lotta stuff, but it aint no get rich anytime soon thing. She recently sent someone a package and used UPS instead of mail and had to eat the difference. Shipping killed her on that one. But she has fun and is very serious about the quality and promptness of your purchase. Check it out and buy something dammit..

Does she want to work FROM home or AT home? My wife is in outside sales and I worked in outside sales for 14 years and worked FROM home. Meaning that my home was my office but would leave on most days. These jobs are a lot more flexible then most.

As far at working AT home, there are data entry jobs and things like that that they can look into. My wife has a graphics background and could do that if she wanted.

Does your wife have any skills? That is the real question, because if she does, even when working AT home that will open up some things.

 

Her primary (day job) is at our plant. She's the Tool Crib manager. she has the skills and her salary is pretty good. She just started that website because she was selling on e-bay for a long time, and she's got a lot of stuff from both of our families who want to sell it. She's having fun and making some money, but it does take time to catalog everything, taking the pics, resizing, looking for the going price for such stuff. I let her have it, and she's a collectable fanatic anyway. Her prices are in line with anything you'll find for collectables on e-bay and other sites as well. Sorry bout the plug. Just trying to help out my sweetie.. I think that Tias website could be more user friendly myself..

 

OOps. You were replying to tsumi's post. sorry bout that..

 

lol, hijacker! :-D kidding
so, yea, she wants to work AT home (i can work from home too...... yea, i like my office though) mostly b/c she will lose alot of mobility 8months in and not to mention once she has the lil one.
are there any good data entry things you can do that are at least not a rip off???
she can type very fast and good on the phone; ive taught her alot about pc's and can multi-task very well.

 

I work from home on occasion. Like Jack said VPN is cool to allow you to do that. Of course when I actually do work from home I just have the computer on with my emails up while I play some Xbox.

 

i second that.... i was far less productive. SSL VPN=lazy me
:-D though with the ability of RDC over the SSL, it can be fun!

 

travel agent you can be completely home based.

 

reheheealllyyy?
