Hi all! I am somewhat new here and need some advice. I am done at my job as of Monday, this is going to be a financial shock and I am too stressed to even think anymore. I need to find something online and am afraid most of the work from home jobs are scams. Anyone know of something legit? I need to be home now for my two girls, one is having some major issues and there are just too many times I have been needed and unavailable due to the high demands at my current job.

Thanks for any help you may have.

You're right in that most work-at-home jobs are scams. NEVER pay a fee for information about a job, even if they "guarantee" one. You could try selling online. I went out to garage sales last summer and made a good profit reselling on eBay. You could also offer to babysit for someone else's child during the day if you can handle another at home. If you have a DH or significant other who can watch the kids some of the time, try cleaning homes in your area. It's really good money for a short period of time.

Depending on your qualifications, you could be an independent consultant offering advice/doing work at home. What did you do?

Finally, Mystery Shopping (where you review businesses/restaurants, etc. for companies) is NOT a full-time job so don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Plus, it's very hard to do with children.

Post again giving some details and we'll see what we can come up with.

I don't know much about other things out there, but I do know what's worked for me. I am a sahm of 4, and feel very blessed to be introduced to the opportunity that's working for us. I'd be glad to share- email below and we can chat and you can do your own research from there.
