Ideas for jobs to do from home

9 replies

Im in a really bad financial situation, I need to be bringing in a lot more money, currently trying to work (self employed cleaning/caring jobs) but looking after a mentally unwell teen means I am constantly having to cancel jobs or leave early which just isn’t sustainable.
The only option I have really is to work from home but no idea what I can do.
I have a small amount of savings that I could use to train if it would lead to a job. Other than that I have no qualifications or expertise in anything much. No childcare help available either.
I’d be grateful for any ideas at all!!

Flowers that's really tough on you. I don't have any practical advice but just wanted to offer my sympathy.

There's plenty of customer representative/service type roles out there. I don't know how competitive they are though

Do not try
Avon, Fm fragrances, younique, amway, arbonne, forever living, Mary kay, color Street, scentsy, body shop at home, norwex, beach body, forever living, usborne, utility warehouse or any other mlms

I didn't realise utility warehouse was a pyramid scheme!

Have a look on the earn £10 a day thread. Loads of ideas

I won’t do any mlm schemes for sure!

Sadly it will take more than £10 a day to dig me out of this mess! But I will see what ideas they have :)

I do ironing from home already, but much less of those jobs now people don’t want their work shirts ironed!

Are you claiming everything you're entitled to? www.entitledto.co.uk/

I think so RedCarsGoFaster. Part of the problem is my tax credits got cut because I earned a lot less last year (ummmm pandemic!)
