I know about programs that pay for reading e-mails, doing click throughs, signing up for things, pay for searching & freelance writing. Those are not the kind of work I'm talking about. I know there are companies that have you take in-coming calls.That's not quite what I'm looking for either. What other kind of work can be done from home? Can you tell me some specific companies that are hiring? What about companies that have Reps ? You know like the classic Avon & Tupperware, etc. Looking at the companies that you can sign up to sell their products, are there any that you can do most of your sells using a websites , without having to keep a required level of sells & huge overhead? Companies that don't have an issue if you also sell other products?

I work from home in a proper job. I do online support for a company as well as telephone support. While I was looking for work to do from home, I was finding loads of real jobs that I didn't want, I was in the wrong location for or I wasn't qualified for. It seemed a waste to me to just pass on by when so many others were looking for them. So I created a website and now I take a few hours out 2-3 times a week to look for real jobs and post them on my site. These are real jobs, some even Government or NHS jobs. Proper companies. http://www.real-work-at-home.co.uk is the site It's also free to register to see the jobs and you get the full information/link to the full details, contact information, the lot. Without paying anything. It's my hobby. Around that core of real jobs, my site also pulls together other ways to earn money working from home. My site doesn't (yet) cover network selling or multi level marketing, there are a couple of things in my "Members Area - Always Hiring" section that you might consider that are free to start. Companies off the top of my head you might consider are: Kleeneze, Betterware, Avon, Virgin Vie (cosmetics), Body Shop. They all do party plan/brochure drops. Personally, I think the thing that has taken me by surprise is how much I've made out of the few surveys I've done in the last 2 months. £100 at the last count. I probably do less than half an hour a week on those. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Thank you for replying. Do you come across many companies that hire in the US? I know, I should probably just look at your sight. LOL! It's very nice of you to take your time to put together a site like that to help other people.

My husband and I have recently started a home-based business which we are very happy with. It's not selling anything to people so there's no inventory, not really any overhead, you can do it online as well as face-to-face... We're promoting a wellness company and building a residual income base from it. My husband will be quitting his full-time job and switching to this full-time. Message me if you'd like more information.

That sounds interesting. I would like to hear more. I can only send messages to people on my friends list.

Hi, I'm not sure what you are looking for, but are you looking for something that is free, or for something that is a minimal startup? Let me know I might be able to lead you in the right direction

I'm not real sure either. I would like to find a job that I could be hired on as an employee or Independent Contractor. I realize that most of those jobs would be taking in-coming calls for places.But,I believe there are other types of work.I just can't seem to figure out the right places to look. I'd rather not do one of the jobs that all you do is work a phone line. Aren't there jobs that you do just on-line or only use the phone occasionaly? As for jobs that require a minimal startup, I am interested in finding out if there are some companies I could do.Along these lines I would be interested in ones that don't require parties , door-to-door, or required sells amount to stay active. I would like something that I could promote on-line & do face to face on a smaller level. Guess I would say that I'm looking for both.I don't like to as they say "keep all of my eggs in basket". Thank you for replying!

Yes, there is a company that hires for the US (and the world). I work for the company that is on my profile. You DO have to work at it but it's easy work and we have a great team that will help you. There is a 7 day free trial (kinda a try it before you buy it thing lol ) and then the cost to you is just $10 a month. No inventory. You can do all the work on the internet or offline, or, like me, do both. It's up to you. :-) Let me know if you have any questions.

I've never heard of Kelly's Kids. I'll see if I can find out something about them.Thank you. It's really hard to find something that feels like it fits me. I want and need to find something I feel comfortable doing. I feel like I'm spending way to much time searching.My eyes seem glued to this computer screen, searching.
