TruthSeeker asked:
I need a job NOW! My husband is acting very shady, threatening divorce/custody (he’s done this before, so I really don’t know if he’s serious, but I need to take it seriously). I am a stay at home mom. I need work, but can’t afford to be paying hundreds in childcare while I work. Does anyone know of a legitimate way to work from home or a job other than working at a daycare or running a daycare where I would be able to make money now?! Thanks.

get a new husband raising a child is work even though you dont get paid for it
I used to clean houses and bring my son along. I’ve also done Ebay in the past.
I maybe try hiring a babysitter for a few hours while you work. There are some great people out there that will work part time for cheap. You can post an add on craigslist (craigslist.org) with the amount you feel comfortable with paying. Also think of it this way he has to pay child support if he leaves and since yu are a stay at home mom spousal support may be ordered as well depending on what state that you are in. He cannot leave you broke with his kids knowing that you are not working the courts will make him pay.
It depends on your education level and work experience…
What are you qualified to do? Start there by thinking through what you could do if children weren’t an object. Then start applying everywhere. You can probably get government assistance with child care if you do divorce. Otherwise, talk to human services because that soon to be ex-husband of yours will have to help out with child support.
I know being a stay at home mom is noble and good for the children but if it is a choice between being a stay at home mom in a bad marriage or getting out and rising to the occasion… Your children are better off having a working mom then being raised in a toxic household.
I truly hope you two can work out your problems, but if you can’t I am sure you will be just fine! If he threatens to leave all the time but you think it is just b*ll s***t then maybe you should make a stand and say you won’t tolerate being threatened anymore and the next time he does it walk out and stay with your family for a few days. I think he would get the picture quick that enough is enough.
I wish you much good luck!
To make real money, you need a real job. Find a nice family daycare, licensed by the state and run in a home (check Craigslist). You’d pay between $100-$150 a week. This is the way it’s done. Nobody brings their kids to work.
Hi there!
Yes, there are many scams online so be careful. Most of them make promises that are too good to be true and some are just plain scams / lies.
I have successfully done real customer service work at home, on the phone, for the last 5 years. It is not my full time work (I’m a minister full time), but a great part time supplement.
I make $10 - $12 / hour for answering inbound customer service / sales calls.
I am able to select my hours 24/7 and I’m able to work for large companies like Pizza Hut, HSN, Sears, and just about ANY infomercial.
I’ve been there and done that with many work at home scams so I consider myself an expert on that too, unfortunately!
There are 5 companies that really do help you start your own home based virtual call center.
Contact me and I’ll be glad to send you more thoughts and some feedback.
God bless,
Brett

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 . Many of these companies have been in business for several years
I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of top 10 work at home scams!
I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home “jobs” and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobsâ€. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.
Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it.
If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses†had cost me over $800 on average.
After trying 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare Company. This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year and a half now and I make over $4500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $2500. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well.
The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well.
I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Timesâ€, “Wall Street Journal†“Time Magazine†“American Medical Review†and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazineâ€. Even “60 Minutes†did a big special on this home based business.
Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable.

6. “Just pay for and take this class first†Then we’ll give or find you a job!
5. Typing At Home / Data Entry
4. “Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!”
3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)
2. Chain Letters/Emails (”Make Money Fast”)
1. Envelope Stuffing
Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce.
As for those of you who say…..â€I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anythingâ€. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it is a true honest home business you need to expect to pay. Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anythingâ€. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.
