Working from home opportunity?
 
Hi,

I am looking for a genuine working from home opportunity - using the Internet as a means to make a few extra dollars. The Internet is full of thousands of these but most appear to be scams : (. Does anyone know of an at home opportunity that is not? I lost £60.00 in the UK when I fell victim to such a scam.

Please share if you know. THANKS:)

Sorry can't help with your question, was just wondering, having read your other thread, how things are going for you now?
Hope all is well.

WAHM is a good site which has genuine work opportunities. Don't know if you're male or female but it covers both.

Hi Sally,

Been separated a month now. I couldn't carry on anymore. The 3 children live with me and I won't be going back to work for another 12 months that's why I really want to do something from home. Most things I find on Google appear to be scams or it is gambling. I don't even have a bank card that works for Internet purchases (to gamble). Just as well. I would probably end up worse off...

Thanks for the concern though.

Well, very best of luck to you. It certainly can't be easy coping with 3 young children including a new baby on your own.

Can you type and do you have broad medical terminology? You could potentially make decent money doing medical typing at home. It's what I did for a short while when my kids were very small. Generally you need to type 60+ wpm but if you're slower you can practice a bit to gain speed.

Good luck.

Good idea Dorothy.

Lookto, you'll need a pedal - most of them ask that you have one.

That sounds great. I work from home anyway, not my own company though, I work for a big bank but I wouldn't mind moonlighting in the evening doing some typing... think I'll look into this too! :)

BE member Bridie works from home - might be worth asking her for some tips :)

Hope you get something sorted, keep us updated.
