Default Who is making full-time income working from home?

Out of curiosity...

Who is working from home making full time income?

Are there any single moms who are making a full time income working from home?

If so what do you do and how long have you been in business?

I have been making a living online for the last 10 years. My most long term income has come from freelancing, although what I'm doing now looks like it may be long term as well and hopefully will replace freelancing.

My honest advice to you:

Learn a trade that you can freelance out to people who need your services.

For example, I learned how to make videos, how to write content and I bought a $100 mic to do a little bit of voice over from time to time.

If you have any questions about freelancing or making money from home in general, just let me know...I like helping people, I know that sounds cliche, but I really do.

The main fact to remember is that no matter what you do, "working from home" doesn't mean laying around watching tv all day. Making money from home requires actual "work". It does have benefits though, for example you can take breaks when you want to and basically work your own schedule.

Dean, very good advice. I was laid off earlier this year and have been looking for a full time job (traditional) because I need medical insurance. So far, I'm still looking, and working part-time. I'm looking for online work as well, even part time. I've been a member here for a while and really enjoy the advice and services that everyone selflessly contribute. I appreciate everyone's posts and comments.

Thanks for the kind words! I don't know about selflessly, see how big my signature is? :0)

Seriously, I enjoy helping and it gives me a sense of purpose to help people when ever I can.

I have been making a full-time income for 9 years. Not all of them doing the same thing, but I've always found ways to make money while raising my children. It's not as easy as some make it out to be, but it definitely is possible!

I've been working for 2 years full-time at home. Though the salary is not as high as my husband, but it's a big help for expenses especially for the children's needs. I've been with it and I love my job!

I make a full-time living from home just sharing my products with people wherever I go.

I don't do "tasting parties" although some distributors love them. Pretty much if I can get product in people's hands, they see results...the rest is easy.

This year I did well enough to take my family on a cruise. Next year I plan to step it up and the sky's the limit!

If you want to generate a full-time income from home, start with something you love and make sure you have the tools to succeed. If you don't find a company and a team with the tools, training and the philosophy to help you not only succeed monetarily but to become a better person.

Best of luck to you in your search.

Default Working from home

I actually have had the opportunity to work from home for a year and a half now and I was with one plan, but recently changed to a much more lucrative plan that allows for additional income for me as well as a much brighter future. You can succeed at home just choose a plan you love! There are so many "Schemes" out there that I decided to do the MLM product plan, because I am in control of more and have the income processed through myself.

Just be careful the internet is friend and foe! lol

If you chose an MLM make sure that you're in it for the product not just the money, and it has to be a product that enough other people will like as well. I've always found that hard to do, I may love vitamins...many people won't, I may like health care discounts, many people may not. And, attrition in an MLM can be an income killer.

Actually, the best internet business really is the sale of marketing resources. In the gold rush, do you know who made the most money?? It wasn't the gold miners, it was the shops that sold pics! See, if you sell marketing tools, you can get business from MLM, money opps like mine, get rich quick schemes...whatever it doesn't matter because everybody needs marketing!

Personally my favorite product is money :0)
