I need honest help finding a work at home position.

I am great on the computer and have many other positive skills. I have four children and can not work full time to to family obligations to take them to and from school. My husband and I lost our business and he was forced to accept a job making $30,000 less a year. I really need to come up with something to help make up for that loss. I am afraid to loose our house and the impact it could have on our children. We are a honest Christian family, that has been in a bad situation for almost a year now. Please help.

Hi Tina,

First of all let me hug you *hugs* :)

Hmm…what are exactly jobs that you’re looking for?
Could you kindly share what are you good at?
(e.g. programming, data entry, graphic designs, etc?)

First, thank you for the hug, I needed that.

I have a degree in management, minoring in marketing/sales. I have advance skills in microsoft products and computer research. I also type at 56 wpm @ 99% accuracy. I have skills, It is just everything I find online is a scam. I have worked as an executive assistant, payroll clerk, and as an accountant. So I feel I have solid skills, It is just finding that company that is hiring work from home employees.

I have had some experience in working online from home, thought I could share:

- Research work
http://www.mahalo.com pays you for doing research and sum it up in one page.
One page is around $10-15.
At first it takes time, but you reach the stage where you can create 10 pages per day, that means $100-$150 per day. Not that bad.
I can assure you that they pay, they have paid me :)

- Data entry, programming, finance, accounting etc
There are some sites that are genuine and not scam.
For example:
scriptlance.com
rentacoder.com
guru.com (but this one requires membership fee here)
They are like marketplace, so they connect buyer (people who have projects to be done) and seller (people who have the skills to do the work).
You gotta bid / make proposal, at first it takes time and patience as well but I did it so I believe you’d be able to make it too :)
One tip though: only apply for projects that are opened by buyers who have positive trackrecord / review.

I hope this helps,
Good luck!

Not sure why you cant work full time. He works days and you can work nights. Just sounds like you don’t want to go and get a real job. The only real work at home jobs are outsourced from companies that you actually work for. Hope this helps :-)

Thank you Jacketlove. I will check into the Mahalo.com. I am a nonpaying member of guru.com. I have only bid on one job. Many of the jobs listed are not detailed enough to know how much time and effort will go into them.

The Clue - It is easy to be a judge with out knowing all the information. I do plan on waitressing three nights a week. I am sure you say, “why three?” Well I am in the Los Angeles are and my husband has to drive over an hour to and from work. This means I have no help with the children until after 7:00. I do not believe it is my older children responsibility to raise my younger children. I would suggest to you to only give advice that is helpful to the person adding. Trust me, my life is complicated enough with-out you judging me. I have great skills and there is no reason I can use them from home.

Most-wanted-websites, I would love to be able to write about Christianity, Children’s learning capabilities, or women’s issues. But I don’t know where to start.

Its everybody’s job to help raise and care for each member in a family and if you need to work the older kids can watch the others. Theres nothing wrong with that and it has been that way forever. If you read the post (get a real job then see if you can outsource the work at home) so you can use your great skills. I wasn’t judging you, I asked straight forward questions and give the same as the answer. Remember you can take the advice or leave it. Hope this helps :-)

Hang in there Tina and yes there are a lot of time wasting sites. I’ve found that if you research a company that has a physical office they may train you and then move you off site. We are coming into tax season so maybe you could do taxes for churches or not for profit groups. Take care and keep us posted:)

Mat, thank you for you help. I will look for a research company. I live around L.A. so I am sure there is something somewhere.

The Clue: Thanks. It is just when you are in a situation that is frustrating, you do not want to hear, you just do not want a full-time job. So I felt very judged. I don’t know if you have children? But, I know that teens need just as much supervision as younger children (in some cases more). I am have raised my children well, however, they still make mistakes. In order to make sure I can continue to support them, I feel it is not in their best interest to be left alone.

Most wanted-websites: I could not email you, however, I did go to the website you have listed and seen a response in there. Hope that gets to you?

You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years

I make enough money to pay all the bills with these sites. For me, it was so difficult getting started. Where do you start making money on line? There were so many options.

It took a lot of looking and a lot of trial and error, but I have found several really great sites. And all these sites are free to join. Also, I have proof that these sites pay like pics of checks I have been paid, a 1099 Tax form, etc.

One thing I have learned: Never join a work at home program or opportunity that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn’t need to charge you.
