A., Stay away from the surveys, been there done that and it's not worth it and certainly will not provide any substantial income. Beware of any business venture, data entry, etc. where they want you to spend money. I don't know what part of town you live in but there are a few ways I did make money at home and one of them has been mentioned. I worked as a plumbing dispatcher. The Master Plumber had his phones forwarded to my house and I answered them. You might contact different contractor's, because they would rather have someone answering the phone, using their business name versus "Plumbing Company"
and they believe they are talking with the office versus Answering Service. Another thing I did, was contact charities and churches and typed their Thank You notes for Christmas & Thanksgiving. I didn't start till end of February, but they were way behind. Arlington Charities, had 5 workers that needed their Thank You Notes sent out to their donator's. They gave me notes on who gave what and sent me home. I had to quit due to neck injury, but after 5 months, there was still an abundance of Thank You Notes to go out, because People & Companies, in our area give alot more than they are given credit for.
