WAHM Forums

I currently babysit 2 toddlers plus my own. I make $130 a week. They are too much of a handful for me plus I don't get paid enough. They don't listen and they break my stuff all the time. I'm doing the best I can though without going completely insane on them. lol. I have another job lined up starting in July. I get to watch a newborn for $200 a week. I lovenewborns, so it is definately not a problem. Plus it's a girl and I know how to handle girls. My daughter is only 9 months, so it is great.I really want to find something where I can work from home in the mean time. I just bought a car, so I can't just quit my job. I do quicktate for some extra change, but is it possible to make atleast $100 a week doing work from home? If so, please let me know what and how you do it. And the average you make a week. Thanks. Legit stuff only please.

To be honest I make more then 100.00 a week. I work a job from home that pays hourly. It is awesome and I have 3 kids but only 2 are toddlers. What I like about where I work at is you can choose your own hours. Please see my signature as that is where my job is. If I can help in any way feel free to message me. (and as a side note: I started out working from home the same way you are! I started babysitting and hated it so I worked my butt off to find something from home!) I have to thank God daily that I make a full-time income and don't have to leave my kids in a daycare situation.

I don't mind babysitting, but these kids are a nightmare. I have never seen kids misbehave so badly. They need discipline, but they aren't my kids so I can't say anything. I'm only 19. Granted, my husband makes great money, but I like to contribute. I checked out your signature and it just doesn't look legit from the front page. Most places you look at like that are scams. I will keep checking it out and give it a shot if I see something I like. Can you tell me more about what you do? Thanks!

I am new to the site so how do I see your signature about the job that you do from home?

This is workingmamma2's signature

I'm also making a lot more than $100 a week. I believe it is very possible to do this working from home. Just do your research before jumping into anything.

What I like about where I work at is you can choose your own hours. Please see my signature as that is where my job is.

Ya know, I could be wrong so if I am accept my apology up front BUT your link seems to be for a paid subscription and ebook that you have to pay for. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif

I checked that and there is a fee, and is for ebook. I refuse to pay a fee for work. There is all kinds of article that tell people those are scams.

That's the link in her signature, so talk to her. That's why I thought it was a scam, but then I thought maybe I was wrong.

Yeah, you do have to pay. No need to pay for leads, there are many free sites (like wahm) out there. Don't pay for them!!!

Yeah, I know that. I work for Quickt*te and M*urk. It's just not enough to cover my payments. I have been looking for months for some other stuff, but I don't want to do a call center with a young baby.

I work from home full time at several different jobs and make more than I did when I worked at my outside career. It just takes a while to find the right fit...I work for Google and Demand Studios, along with scoring for Pearson every now and then and a few others that aren't as consistent.

I am looking for a work at home job. I have 2 children. Can you tell me what companies that you work for?http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif

I make well more than $100 a week. I do affiliate marketing and take surveys.

Like you my first wah job was daycare and like you, I didn't care for it much.. Then I tried direct sales.. I didn't like that either.. You have to find something you enjoy.

I really enjoy Quicktate and Mturk, but I just don't make much with them. Maybe if I did it everyday all day I could make good money.

I take inbound calls for my FT job, and do Bain Medical as a PT
My inbound call work i make about $375 a week
The other i just started - but looks as if it will average out to about $500 or so monthly

ATHOME2007.I was wondering what company do you work for fulltime. I need a work from home job really bad.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gif

I think we all need good jobs from home!! I have good jobs, I just don't make enough. I need some extra jobs.

I work for a local franchise in my area ... ReBath *
I take calls from people who want to set up estimates / appointments
I normally get about 8-10 calls a day - 9-5
While i wait on the phone ringing , i get housework done and set appointments for my other business
They actually found me via Craigslist
You can post your resume there - maybe you should give that a try !

May I ask what type of experience/background you had when you posted your resume? Was it sales/administrative/customer service?

My fulltime job is reviewing this very informative forum board!smileys/smiley2.gif

I just ended my first year with G**gl* and was making about $400/week with them. I will be reapplying w/ them at the end of April. I also work w/ Demand Studios as a writer and proofer and make between $3-400 per week. I also do Quicktate on the side, am signed up with Ch*Ch* (though I have yet to do any real work with them yet) and have apps in w/ Lionbridge and Leapforce. Never hurts to apply with as many companies as possible, right?smileys/smiley1.gif

AT HOME 2007,

I just wanted to ask a few ?s regarding Rebath. I know there is a local retail location about 2 towns over from me, do you know if you need to train with them at their location 1st or you can train to set up the appointments from home? I have high speed internet and a plain land line. Is that something they require. Is their a website you can apply or have to find through craiglist? I already work from home, but it's a bit slow with the call volume that I get. I figured this could be something extra for me.

Thanks,

Medemom3

Can I ask if your Bain Medical job is letting seniors know about medical equipment? If so, how is it going?Someone posted about it a while back and apparently severalon this forum are giving it a try.Apparently people can make around $2,000 a month doing this part time.

I didnt go through any training with ReBath for the phone end of things - but i did meet with the owner to go over the log in for their system, as well as met him at Home Depot where they have a display , to go over product info
Im not sure if theyre all the same - he did have a girl in the office at the showroom , taking the calls - she had moved on, and he wanted to give this a try
So far its working out great !

Edited by: AtHome2007

As for Bain - yes, its the opportunity to help seniors get the products that they are entitled to , for diabetes and arthritis
I know people who have made about 8 appointments in the last week alone
The $ is there to be made, yes *
It is NOT strictly work from home - you DO have to go to the persons home or senior center, and give them the info, and (hopefully) take an order
But its amazing so far !!!

Sorry I was not on here for awhile.. I was working so I will try to answer everyones questions on the ebook. Yes it does cost you to get the book but no it is nota scam. It has so many leads in it and the thing I like on the leads parts is you don't have to sit here and search and search for a job. They are at your fingertips because you just pick what category you are looking for work in and then you can see the jobs. The jobs are ones that don't require a fee. Yes you pay for the ebook like you pay for any book. But to be honest I was worried at first too but then I seen they had a guarantee and I had a baby coming so I thought I am gonna give it shot. I am glad I did because it was not just the leads that helped me.

I was able to get help finding out all my skills, writing my resume, and questions I needed to ask to land the job. Now I work a job full-time from home with my little guy sitting right here beside me. Also any questions I could not find on the ebook I was able to get live professional help.

I don't feel you can go wrong but of course everyone feels differently and I respect that. I am not putting anyone down for only using forums to find jobs because that is free but I found myself spending hours digging and reading and sometimes missing good jobs on here and other boards so that is why I gave it a shot. If I help just one person then I feel I have done my job as a fellow work at home mom because when I was looking there were a few out there that helped me and I just want to return the favor.

Hope this helps you understand why I am passionate on this.

I don't mind babysitting, but these kids are a nightmare. I have never seen kids misbehave so badly. They need discipline, but they aren't my kids so I can't say anything. I'm only 19. Granted, my husband makes great money, but I like to contribute. I checked out your signature and it just doesn't look legit from the front page. Most places you look at like that are scams. I will keep checking it out and give it a shot if I see something I like. Can you tell me more about what you do? Thanks!
I understand having kids that are nightmares and nothing you can do about it! My husband also has a great job but I also have 3 kids so I use my check to buy the extras. When we want to go do something special it is not an issue.

It is not a scam and I did explain below a little more about it. Basically I do many things during the day...take phone calls, type, answer questions. I just work around my new little one.

I hope you find something soon.

So about how many hours do you typically spend outside the home per day with this job? I like the fact that this job helps people. I'm considering giving it a try.

It varies * I have about 10 hours a week to put towards it right now - and thats sufficient *
Appointments only take maybe 30-45 minutes (depends on whether you chat alot - lol )
If you do something at a senior center - it might take a little longer
You can truly make the hours you want

okay, so what company are you working for??? LiveOps...West??? I just applied for both of them yesterday, so cross your fingers that I get into one of them!!smileys/smiley20.gif

She doesn't work for either company. She already said one was a local company and the other one is sales for durable medical supplies where you have to leave your home to meet with the client.

Thanks. And sorry, I must've missed her earlier post. I only saw this one.

Can you tell me what you do for goggle.I so wish I could make 400 a week.

I would like to know how to apply with google, and what is another good comapny besides liveops, and west.

Opps I hope you didn't read my post as being harsh. Sometimes my typing "voice" comes off being too serious. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif

I sure do, Freelance Writing (http://www.lynxtrack.com/afclick.php?o=7860&amp;b=bm9mg4z8&amp;p=27986&amp;l=1&amp;c=68137) is the biggest part of it, I also take Surveys (http://y5b.org)

OMG are you in illinois, id pay you $100 a week to watch my toddler, lol

we dont get good rates like that where i am, unless i travel far

sorry im no helpEdited by: tonit22

I make more then $100 with freelance writing and my residual income streams.

I like the idea of freelancing, but not sure where to go to start. Any help?

lol oh no. I didn't think you were harsh at all. Completely understand what you mean about "typing voice". lol I hope mine didn't come off harsh either. I was just simply saying that i didn't see her earlier post. When I read it back it sounds almost like I was being snippy(which I totally wasn't).smileys/smiley5.gif Gotta love it!! smileys/smiley36.gif

If you are good at writing, why not try your hand at affiliate marketing? You probably won't make $100 your first week, but it can build up to that if you can get the hang of it.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Like when you go to Clickbank.com you can browse the marketplace and see all kings of eproducts that people buy thatare searching for information products...

Build a blog or hubpage - Ireally like to use Squidoo,as well - and use those freeplaces to promote stuffthat you can find at free places such as Clickbankand make money that way....

I would recommend reading up on affiliate marketing a bit first if this is all new to you , but it is definitely a way to make $$. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif

I make $170-340 a week working Uhaul. I have been with them for over a year and take inbound emergency roadside assistance calls. They have medical insurance, 401K, life, and many other benefits. They add $150.00 extra into my check a month now because my husband carries insurance on me from his place of employment (he is an electrician in the mines) I do this for extra money to spend on special things for the girls, movies etc. We have a thread over on www.workplacelikehome.com (http://www.workplacelikehome.com) with the links to apply:)

Good luck you all!

Yes, I make over $100 a week. I run my website (which is free, I just get paid from ad revenue). I also make money doing freelance writing.

Yep there is so much out there. I finally found a job making an hourly wage which is great! My DH found out he may lose his job in 18 months so this is going to be really important to us!

brenda &gt;&gt; An eBook isn't necessarily a scam. Providing it's legitimate and its contents are of any value, it would be spending money for education. That's a different story than paying a fee for a job. It's deceptive (bordering on scam) if it's posted as a job and *then* you find out it's an eBook. ;)

&gt;&gt;workingmamma2 It has so many leads in it and the thing I like on the leads parts is you don't have to sit here and search and search for a job. They are at your fingertips because you just pick what category you are looking for work in and then you can see the jobs.&lt;&lt; Appreciate your feeling about it. Perhaps you're new to wah jobs. But you can get that information many places for free. There's such a list right here on WAHM. That's one of the things that's meant when it's said "Don't pay for a job" meaning don't pay for something that offers you information you can already get for free.

mommynwife&gt;&gt; I make considerably more than $100 week. But I'm an independent contractor. I can literally make my own jobs. I don't just rotely apply to "work at home companies." I don't search job boards. I have quite a few skills which aren't really technical. Basically I put them together in a package and offer them to people and companies that don't know they need me. :)

That's what I would suggest you do. Take stock of what skills you have. Look around your neighborhood or the web and see where you can use them to help the business owner solve problems. My guess is this is successful because you're the only one doing it - or just about. It's not 10,000 people applying to one company (like the ones routinely listed on wah forums) for a small handful of jobs.

I noticed you said, "I really want to find something where I can work from home in the mean time." This sounds as though you just want something temporary until the other job starts in July? If that's so, it might be difficult to find such a thing - that you can make any money at or count on anyway. Just because you're working at home you can't just work a couple months and quit any more that you can working on site at a brick and mortar building. You might be able to pick up one or two of the odd job here and there. But I don't know how much you could count on that. You could certainly try.

Good luck!

Yes, how does one get a job with Google???

After reading this thread and participating in the discussion, I am coming to the conclusion I may want to start my own service/business while working ONE telecommuting position until I can generate enough revenue (2-3 yr goal from planning to financial goal met).

I'll start researchingand I appreciate everyone who has contributed to this thread.

Yes, if I average it out, I guess I make about $150 or so a week doing surveys. So my answer would have to be "yes." That said, it isn't like I get one consistent check each week as I am paid by dozens of different companies. But I always keep a monthly log and average over $600 a month, so yes, I would fall into this category.

For anyone that has the ebook that someone recommended for job leads. Do they have non telephone jobs or writing jobs in it?
Thanks!

I make more then $100 with freelance writing and my residual income streams.

I'm pretty close to $100 a week with content writing as well, and I just started in late November. smileys/smiley1.gif

I just ended my first year with G**gl* and was making about $400/week with them. I will be reapplying w/ them at the end of April. I also work w/ Demand Studios as a writer and proofer and make between $3-400 per week. I also do Quicktate on the side, am signed up with Ch*Ch* (though I have yet to do any real work with them yet) and have apps in w/ Lionbridge and Leapforce. Never hurts to apply with as many companies as possible, right?smileys/smiley1.gif

What kind of work are you doing for G**gl*? Is it affiliate work, or working just for G**gl*? If you have any info you can share, I'd like to hear about it!

I'm also not familiar with the others that are mentioned - Demand Studios, Quicktate, etc.

I don't think G**gl* is hiring right now for the job that I was doing, but they are advertising for a similar position:

With Quicktate, you are usually put on a waiting list for at least a month before you can start transcribing, but here is the signup area:

How did you find the job for Google?? I searched jobs at Google and couldn't find anything.

For anyone that has the ebook that someone recommended for job leads. Do they have non telephone jobs or writing jobs in it?
Thanks!

Yes there is lots of non phone jobs on there. Here is some of the categories when I took a quick look for you...accounting, data entry, legal work, transcription, typing, virtual assistant...and this is not even the tip of the iceburg on job titles with leads. I just pulled a few to let you know some of the categories.

Have a good Thursday!

I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, but also check out Rat Race Rebellion (http://ratracerebellion.com) for legitimate job leads.

the how much you make post hmmm i started off working for other companies at home to but i found it really strick and they fire you for no reason at all and i just found I rather do my own thing and make money that way

Ijust will say they have tons of ways to make money and when allelse fails you can always work for other people you can do freelance writng, create blogs for people like squiddo, hub pages other stuff do web design graphics the list isendless lol

I think a lot of people is confused on where to start but my bestadvice is find something you want to do and get started dont ever feel you cantdo it

You are right. I just learned how to do webpage designing and now think that is fun. I guess I was just intimidated by it.

Thank you for the information!

Does anyone do quicktate as a full time job? I am just curious how much money I can make with them alone!

Witchwith3&gt; The link that Lisamb27 posted is the Google job. Don't be confused about it saying Workforce Logic on the page. They handle the hiring of at least the ad raters for Google.

I'd heard Google was actually laying people off. Is that true?

Yep there is so much out there. I finally found a job making an hourly wage which is great! My DH found out he may lose his job in 18 months so this is going to be really important to us!

That is a bummer about your husband, I wish you all the best.
I agree with you that an hourly wage is so much better. Commission sometimes can be tough, it is nice to know you are getting a certain amount of money instead of hoping the week or month goes well.

Could someone please tell me more about helping seniors with medical supplies? I would really like to do something like this.
I have always really enjoyed talking with seniors (and they like me too!) I actually took a job with craftmati* adjustable beds and that was going to seniors homes and centers and really liked visiting with them.
I just didn't care for the company's forceful sales tactics, but that was 5+ years ago..

Oh my you would go nuts with my boys. smileys/smiley4.gif They break everything! I won't even buy nice furniture until they're out of the house. Saves me a bundle ;)

Since I have an NDA I cannot tell you where I work or how much I make, but I do make quite a bit more than $150 a week and it's steady. It took a long time to find, but through diligence I found it.

While I'm doing this I also blog and do some tech stuff. With this I'm trying to build an income of at least $2,000 a month just in case I ever do lose the nice contract I have. I think I would freak if I lost it right now because blogging is brining in a good $300 or so per month and that just isn't enough.

It's out there for you...keep searching!

Yep but I got faith that things will work out plus I love my job so if I got too I will just do more hours! One great thing about my job is I can work different hours of the day and night so that works for me!

Send me a PM *

I'm glad to hear you found something, but sorry to hear about your husband losing his job. Maybe he can find something work at home in the meantime as well?

Good luck to you both.

Ya nothing is for sure yet but they say in 18 months his plant is shutting down and you can bet if he is sittin at home I am putting him to work! LOL

Ya nothing is for sure yet but they say in 18 months his plant is shutting down and you can bet if he is sittin at home I am putting him to work! LOL

Well He's got to earn his keep!
Maybe he'll just start working at home like you? You seem happy with working from home...

Ha that is a possilbility I guess but he says NO WAY! We might not get along so well if we were together 24 hours a day..Guess I will just keep praying something comes up and he doesn't lose his job and I can keep doing mine as it works for our family great.

Do you have kids at home?

I have 750+ work at home companies listed and divided out by category if anyone is interested. And no, it not part of the Work At Home Mafia forum. It is on a separate page where you do no have to join the site to view this.

Freelance Home Writers isa paid site. Yes, it's only $2.95, but they don't say so upfront.

I am new to blogging but am hoping that it can bring in a little extra cash!

I sure do, Freelance Writing (http://www.lynxtrack.com/afclick.php?o=7860&amp;b=bm9mg4z8&amp;p=27986&amp;l=1&amp;c=68137) is the biggest part of it, I also take Surveys (http://y5b.org)

What am I missing? You have to pay for this writing thing? Is it actually work or a list?

Not sure if this was mentioned, but you can make $100 week at babytobee. It is a phone job, though.
