Mine doesn't make much money. I probably loose a couple hundred a year, but as time goes on, it does better. I own a parenting site and community forum for moms, dads and parents to be. We turn 2 in March! I'm proud of it. I have found the more I add content and keep the boards busy, we generate more traffic. But we're still growing and nothing huge like parents.com or anything like that. But I like the intimacy of my site. There's no advertising on the boards. No pop up ads or anything too flashy. It's all about desire. Most people would have quit with a site like mine because it's not generating enough money. I realize that it'll take 2-5 years before I can turn a strong profit from this. Good luck in whatever you choose!!

I've done both work from home and running a home business. The home business leaves a lot of flexibility but you have to make it grow. Working from home requires you adhere to the companies times and standards. Both have pro's and cons. I have been growing my business rather quickly but I work at it. Quite rewarding! Good Luck!

We don't have parties, or stock inventory I work with the internet and phone with a company that's been around for 18 yrs now. If you would like more information just let me know. What works for one doesn't always work for all though. Good luck in your search!

I would like some info on your business Linda!

Mike, that's what I love about my business, too. My youngest has been sick yesterday and today, and I love that I can be home with her - not having to beg or plead or make excuses with a boss... I can still be online and working in moments she doesn't need me (although we're in the same room - she's on the couch!) AND, I can curl up with her any time I want.

There are so many opportunities, and it really depends on what you want to do.

Default Do you enjoy helping others?

If you truly like to help other people and make them happy, I may be able to give you some insight. My husband and I do quite well at sending greeting cards and gifts to others and make a good income from it. If this sounds right for you, get back with me.

When you are looking for an online job make sure you check into the companies background, a quick google can tell you that, and make absolutley sure they have a physical address, also you must have great training and support available otherwise it is extremly hard to get going. You must also have a passion for what you are doing, this is the difference between success and failure.

I have had great success with article and video marketing, but you must find a company with good training on this. Take Care.
