Working from home - any ideas?

Hi

Is there anybody out there who works from home or is there anybody with any ideas as to what I can do from home?

Something to get the brain matter moving again would be great but will consider anything to earn a few pounds. Well, ALMOST anything!

Thank you in advance x

many apologies. I see this topic has been recently covered. I have just read through the thread and am amazed at the different ideas!

Hi, I run a home business, and have done so successfully for 3 years.
I 'work' 1 or 2 evenings a week for 2 or 3 hours per evening, selling Fifth Avenue Collection' jewellery in peoples homes.
This is the way I prefer to run my business but I can sell my jewellery anywhere I go- not necessarily through parties.
And best of all, because I'm self employed I dont give commission to anyone, and I can work as little or as often as I want.
Oh, and the financial rewards are unlimited!
Take a look at the website:

A lot of Organisers take their children on bookings with them!, no pressure and best of all, lots of lovely free boks for your own children!!

you can do Usborne by not directly selling

By doing sponsored reads in Nurseries , pre schools and Schools

can be good earners for very little work, although having a few contacts in some of these places is a brilliant way to get started

Not sure of any work from home jobs that you are looking for sorry

Hi

I've had the same dilema as you. However I've recently joined Barefoot Books. They're a fab company who publish beautiful books. You can sell through home parties (like Ann Summers, only not so kinky!) or through schools, nurseries, toddler groups etc, so it really fits in with being a mum.
Take a look at my website

Hello again

Just read the thread about just moving.
I moved to a new area too. I joined all the local groups, including getting myself on the school PTA. I made lots of friends and contacts very quickly. You can also sell through a website with barefoot books and through schools, toddler groups, so you don't need to know anyone. it's working for me!

My friend has just started a new work from home business in the last 6 months called about my area, she is loving it and has got to meet loads of new people in her community, she has now started to earn a really good income and gets lots of support, might be worth a look. Good Luck
