I am a plain homemaker,means i stay at home 24/7 taking care of my husband,Dogs,my stepdaughter and the house chores(such as cleaning,cooking,doing groceries,budgeting the money and pay off our bills)Being a homemaker is not that easy,you dont get a Day off nor a Pay day.What I did to make me my own money/extra money while staying home,i do surveys that pays and now i am trying mylotting too.Besides surveys and mylotting i do sell on facebook and yardsellr some clothes,purses and other stuffs that other people can use(new and used).earning or making $20-$50 a week is a big help!!! :)

You are very hardworking! Do you make the clothes and the purses that you sell online? 20-50 dollars a week is not bad, especially if you let it grow by itself! I'd say invest your earnings so you can have the compound interest!
Mylot is one good way to earn online. I hope that this site will stay forever!

I knew crochet before as it was a school project during Elementary and High School. If I have the funds, this year I will take sewing lessons and hopefully I can start my own business. I will start small by selling repairing clothes. I will put a sign outside our house that I repair zippers, buttons, etc...

hi MoonGypsy, it is nice of your daughter to help you earn money. Did you teach her how to make jewelries? I want to learn how to do it as well. But here, it will be hard to sell those especially people nowadays are just buying necessities and less of their wants. But still, it is nice to learn how make crafts

You are right, friend. Make such amount is really a big help to save some money or as additional income. There's a lot of online earnings program that you can also earn additional. But you need to be careful because there are also a lot of scam over the internet...

That is great that you are making extra money online. I am taking a couple of courses at JoAnn's craft store in sewing and jewelry making so I can sell them online as well. I need the extra money myself so I can start helping with the bills. All we live on right now is Randy's social security and most of that money goes towards our rent. I am in school which helps a little, but I need something more.

Being here is awesome and the little extra money we make is a help of course! I love being here, I am also a Home Maker. Right now I only MyLot because I enjoy being here, eventually I might start doing other things to make extra money. I am just comfortable here...
Good luck and welcome to MyLot!

Welcome to myLot, shine4.
We do have something in common as I also sell my craft work on Facebook as well which I just started not long ago. And apart from that, I also do freelance work on oDesk.
MyLotting is really fun, you'll get to meet some cool and nice friends here.

Thats really great! I'm glad you found some new ways to make extra money. I'm sure it feels really nice, and you should be proud of yourself for finding creative ways to do that. What kinds of surveys do you do? I've tried that in the past and it has never worked out, usually I get through 5 minutes of doing it and then it says I'm not qualified for the survey. Thats really great and I'm glad its working out for you :)

Congrats on making the extra $20 - $50 a week.
I've been recently looking around my house for things I wouldn't mind selling. I seem to never throw away clothing at least my sons clothing and I am pretty sure they have grown out of some of it.
I also do some freelance accounting online and offline in order to help people with budgets and more so they can save for the things they want.
I am a housewife/student. I stay at home most of the time as the majority of my freelance accounting appointments are through Skype or email. I am going to school for my degree in accounting currently which is why I only do budgeting and tax forms for others. :)
Good Luck with everything.
