Does anyone know of any work at home programs that arent a scam? I am a SAHM and raising my son by myself. With his health problems its hard to work, plus I wouldnt be able to afford child care. I need to make extra money b4 I lose my house and everything. I currently do partylite but its not going too well. Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

What can I do next?

I have something that you may want to look in to. I actually plan on doing this myself towards the beginning of '07. It's called LiveOps. I know first hand that it isn't a scam, cousin has been doing it since last spring while she was laid off. It's a home based customer service company. There is some pretty good info that can be found on it even by doing google search. My cousin sets her own schedule, she ususallys works at night after she has her daughter settled for the night. You log into the system when you're ready to work, and get calls coming in mainly from places like those "as seen on TV" type deals, and you take the order. What ever the product is when the call comes through, the script for that product pops up on your PC. You are paid by the minute, but I can't remember if you're paid bi-weekly or monthly. There is an upfront cost of $30 I think for your background check. You have to send a voice sample also. But you can look on the website for all of the spacifics. It's www.liveops.com definaly worth checking out. Good luck!

You may want to consider Discovery Toys. I had a friend that did it. Although- you will need to find care for your son while you do it.

Your best bet is to go to the library and check out some books on working from home. The best one I've come across is by Liz Folger called The Stay at Home Mom's Guide to Making Money from Home. It's a great book that will help you evaluate your current skills and put them to use making money from home. It will also tell you how to avoid scams. She has a website as well: www.bizymoms.com

I read that book, choose a field and now make good money working from home part time.

I quit my job teaching when my son was born and I do daycare in my home so that I can stay home with my son.

You just have to get licensed by the state and you are all set. Go on the michigan gov website and download the packet and send it in.
