Hello everyone. I am just wondering if anyone on here knows of any REAL work at home jobs. I have spent so much money on this stuff it is not even funny. I know there are things out there, it is just finding them. I am not looking to get rich (although that would be nice) I just need something where I can make around the average monthly income. Everything that I look at anymore seems to have some kind of fee and I don't want to put out anymore money just to get ripped off again. Some might say get real job well trust me I would if I could I am not against working out of the home I just can't because I can't afford daycare and what is the point paying someone else (my whole paycheck) to watch my kids when I can do it. Can anyone help???

Have you thought about writing articles? There are several sites that pay you to write articles. With being a stay at home mother, I am sure you have many great ideas on money saving tips, child rearing, household ideas, etc. Write about what you know and love as others will be interested in it also.
Here are a few sites:
www.associatedcontent.com
www.helium.com
www.constant-content.com
There are probably many other ones out there that buy articles and I am sure that others will respond with some also. Keep looking, there are opportunities out there.
I understand what you mean about the high cost of day care and writing can be done with children in the room.

I understand your position. I work from home (it's for the company I used to be employed with, and that's the only reason they allow me to freelance). However, work has been slow and I've been looking for extra at-home work too. I check crigslist.org everyday and genuinejobs.com. Genuinejobs does not allow anyone to charge a fee. Anyone that charges a fee is just scamming for money anyway. That's how they're making "$200-$400 a day".
There's nothing wrong with legitimate work at home jobs. I would never tell you to get a "real" job. Staying home with the kids is a real job. Kudos to you for doing whatever you need to do to be home with your family.

Thanks for the response. I love being at home with my kids I just get depressed over the finances ( but then again who doesn't)cause I feel like it is never going to end. I just would feel better if I was bringing more in as far as money goes. I babysit but don't make very much doing that but atleast it is something.
