New mommy needs to work at home / myLot

Hi there my lotters.. Ever since I found out I was pregnant I've been searching for a legitimate way to work online, not by getting paid for answering surveys or clicking ads, but a real job that would help me bring income into our household. Why do I want to work at home? First of all, I want to be with my baby and I wont have to pay someone else to take care of my child, 2nd, I don't want to go back to my work because of personal and professional reasons, 3rd, I want to help out my boyfriend pay the bills and save up for our upcoming wedding. These are my major reasons, and plenty more. But alas! I haven't found a job yet, and my baby is turning 2 mos in September and I'm starting to think that I've been searching for nothing. How can there moms I see work online find the jobs they have. Its so frustrating.

Hi, oreo11, i have the same situation as you. I am a boy's mom, i am statying at home, and trying to find out the way on internet to earn extra money for supporting the family, it is not easy, many scam on net, recently, i register in freelancer, but still get no reply, i can do nothing but wait. Be patient, maybe you can see a light.

thanks I am starting with this customer service representative job from home, I'm still in training, but it looks very promising. I already got $5 check, I haven't really done anything yet because I just settled in with our new born in our new home. Let me know if you're interested, i know they're still hiring.

Welcome to the club..:) I am a work-at-home mom, too. You can work at odesk and postloop. The link is in my profile. Those are the two sites that gives me a monthly income.

i'll try that out, does it supplement enough to replace a part time job?

It's not really easy to find a good paying sites on-line. If you have skills in writing you could try some sites that accept article writing.Some members here I think have been to it and they say it pays. It may took you long time to really earns I guess.And since your desperate to have an extra income may be you could try it.For me it is more convenient if you have a regular income off line because on-line earnings are not certain.

If you have skills, go try Odesk. There are many jobs to choose from, but also many competition for the jobs.

You can check those freelance sites like oDesk or Freelancer. Bid and apply for the jobs that suits you. Take note that your future employers may need to interview you via skype or anything similar. You may need to furnish a copy of your resume as well.

I should know about these moms who work online and I'm one of them. Although hopefully a few days things will be sorted and I began to work. However you nothing keeps you in check and interview the online work. try, you lose nothing. nice day!
