hi everyone, my husband is currently unemployed for 2 weeks now, i'm quite sad and worried since I'm stuggling with our finances due to the previous holiday seasons pending bills. I'm very eager to earn extra money, our credit card was already max out and needs to sustain the needs of my daughter like diapers, milk & vaccination. anyone knows to earn extra income? thanks, Kathy

Hi kathylicious10 and welcome to myLot dear. I want to be completely honest and tell you that many will give a great deal of suggestions, however it sounds that in your situation you need fast and quick money for the basic needs. We can suggest many sites for you to earn a few additional dollars but from your discussion it sounds like you need to earn quicker as online earning will take a bit of time and persistence and unless you really research avidly you will not be earning enough right away. As online earnings, especially for new earners can be a bit of difficulty and loss of patience and it sounds like you have no time to waste, so my suggestion would be to try and seek perhaps some work off-line and perhaps your husband can share the baby responsibilities until he too can get back on his feet. Another option if you would like to stay at home is to seek maybe a child to babysit where as the parent can pay you weekly. I just want to input my honesty as I would hate for you to spend so much avid time and still get deeper further into ruins. I wish you, your husband and baby lots of luck and blessings. Also please come back so that we can further guide you with myLot as it is best to comment to all or most of your responses.

I agree with hardworkinggurl. Whatever type of online money making site you join, it will still take time for you to earn money. Time that I believe you don't have. Probably, the fastest way would be selling over real items at e-bay but you can just simply do that with a garage sale even. Once you're able to address your current need and will still need extra income in the future, then, you can check back on us for you to learn ways to earn online. Best of luck to you and your family.

This is why I enjoy myLot so much as so many of us are honest. I did not want members to come on here and give her the wrong impression to simply earn a referral as it is her family at stake and I felt bad. So hugs to yallit and Edna, as we too would want to be guided properly especially at desperate times in our life.

I agree, online job could not make that much so it's better to look for a real job offline. If you can switch roles with your husband, you work, he stays home, find a job , earn clear money and sustain the family until he finds a job and back to your normal way of life! This is the time to test your real "partnership".

Hi, Kathy. I know of two online jobs that pay you for the work you've done. One is doing transcription work and the other involves writing. I'll check first from my friend if the writing job still has vacancies. As for the transcription work, if you're interested, just send me a message and I'll give you the details. It's really tough to lose a job. I am in the same predicament. Our company, after having retrenched 40 people, had also dissolved the department I head so I'm out of work too. But we have yet to receive our separation pay, 3 months worth of backwages, our 13th month pay and bonus and our tax refund. So now we're gearing for a lengthy court battle.

It's hard to make very much money from home or on the internet right away; most of it takes a little time to build up. I wrote an article about ten valid ways to make money from home. If you're interested, it's listed on my profile page.

Tighten your budget first and don't purchase unnecessary things. Seek assistance from your parents or brothers/sisters.

Hello there dear. I am also from the Philippines. Please do add me on facebook. I have an online store selling korean inspired garments mostly for women which you can resell. I am also a distributor of Winalite's Love Moon Anion Sanitary Napkin. But of course, in sales, you have to double, triple so on and so forth your effort to gain the harvest. I can teach you what financial stewardship means and other tips in online selling etc. =)

Hi Kathy, Earning from home is very difficult and especially on-line. You could spend a great deal of time and literally earn pennies. I used to babysit from home and there is good money in that if you get the right families. Even just seeing kids off to school in the morning and having them for a short time after school can earn you some good money. Is there any way you could get a part time job and let your husband watch your daughter for a few hours in the evening? It's not a lot but could maybe help you get by until he's back to work. good luck, Kathy!

If you need money right now to get you through, think about Ebay as the average household has over $2000 worth of stuff the could part with. Sometimes if you have the right product you can make a good living.. I know there are people right now selling bags of dirt for $20 a pound that comes from land that gold was once mined, with instruction on how to pan dirt and look for gold. check for yourself and see how many being sold daily. look at others feedback and the dates. So fast money is possible if you have the right concept and product. I have friend that now owns a SELL YOUR STUFF ON EBAY STORE and make a commission from selling other peoples stuff. hope I was able to help but for the most part everyone is right it takes some time and dedication to earn money from other forms online

There are lots of ways to earn extra money but if your aiming to earn a huge amount, I think that is very difficult to achieve. It takes time, patience and perseverance to earn big thru online. I suggest you stick to MyLot and find many referrals as you can and post as many as you can. ( Quality post is a must) . Goodluck.:)

I know how that can be. Its not easy trying to find a job online/offline. Due to the fact of the economy being in the state of mind its in, with people losing their jobs left and right. I have a website in my profile that you can checkout. I feel the same way. For now I go online to search for free work at home opportunities, that I get involved in to make a little bit of something instead of nothing.

its very hard to find legit way to earn money online. i do little things and as much as i can. people who promise big money is probably a scam. i even got scam things in the mail here lately. you have to research everything before you commit to anything. you dont want to give up what little money you have to get nothing in return. i got a postcard in the mail today about being a government insurance refund processor. i did research and sure enough it was a scam. but i did find that you can do something similar that is legit. you contact people about refunds that have on their house that is paid for of course.. refunds they never collected through HUD/ FHA. its not a refund you can get just filing your taxes... which is why a lot of people didnt get it. you do have to pay for the list im afraid.. and you set your own fee. its hard to explain it. but visit this website for more information. its something you can do as much or as little as you want. it sounds like a great plan and no its not too good to be true. its not a scam i promise. only reason i dont do it myself yet is bc im waiting on my list to come in the mail and it takes 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. no monthly payments or any of that jazz. i promise. http://www.united-refund-services.com/

Yes, it is hard to make money online. I would suggest possibly taking out a loan and paying it back once you guys are fully back on your feet. (that's a last resort) also you should make a priority as to what bills are the most important so for example the mortgage is first and the power bill is second I don't know but come up with some sort of ranking system. I hope your husband is recieving unemployment benefits, but the benefits probably will not last past a year, so it's important that you get back on your feet as soon as you can. Ask family members to help you especially since hopefully they would understand. But, just hang in there and know that everything will be alright

Hi Kathy, I have looked for work from home jobs on the Internet for years now, and while there are some legit ones out there, they usually do not pay very much money. People who make money online usually do so through a combonation of multiple sites in addition to say a part time job. Definitly think of working at home online as a supplement to a job of some kind because you will not make much money doing anything out there. With that said here are two site that are legit, you can make money from, and I think you should check out: www.workathomenoscams.com and www.chacha.com Good Luck
