Extra income/Work from home ideas

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by ramfishtwins on Friday, March 19, 2010 and has 12 replies.
Hey all!
I'm posting this here because apparantly, no one goes to the "workplace" board!
So, I'm needing some extra income pronto...deperation mode! I have a very odd schedule with school and work, so idealy, I'd love to find something I could do from home part-time. There are so many work-from-home scams out there that I'm too scared to try any of them after hearing many horror stories. I think it's bullshit that you need to pay to get a job, but if someone out there does this and it's the only way, I'm willing to find out more.
So, anyone out there have a job like this or know of any ligit company to check out?
Thanks all!

Try this place ramfish, they're supposed to be legit and cut out the middle man for you. Can't remember exactly which report it was on, but here goes.

Buying and selling off ebay, you have to know when it's a bargain price. There are some sites where you can buy products in bulk to re-sell either on ebay or markets. Garage saleing to pick up other re-sellable items.
go back to the basics....babysit. nanny. pick up kids from school and drop them off at soccer practice. people ALWAYS need help with their kids. except that you're at the mercy of their schedule, not yours

You can force a bum to donate his sperm and then rob him?
Take scraps of metal from street signs and sell them?
Stand by an elementary school and steal kids' lunch money?
Stalk a celeb, grab their chewed up gum from the trash bin and sell it on e-bay?

Actually, I was recently looking into this as well (those were not ideas I had come up with, btw Tongue) and I was thinking of something like Secret Shopping or helping vendors keep track of their product, but apparently, the universe doesn't want me to make any more money. Back to gambling then I guess!


Ah Feisty...you do make me giggle!
I hear you about that damn universe. It's just not been on my side lately. I'm scary broke...happy in my job and school, but scared shitless.
Maybe...you can help the elderly with gambling??! HA! Like being their little [paid] gambling side-kick helper. You could help them bet and pull the lever! Make money and gamble all at the same time!

got a webcam? Tongue


Don't think I've not thought about that my dear Bella!
No offense to any strippers out there, but if I was lacking in a moral compass, I would definitely check out that gig. I could put myself through school and be able to feed my husband.
Neither of which I'm able to do at the present moment. Sad
Alas...I'm destined to keep my body somewhat clothed and earn a 'decent' living...boo...

You must not know what I do for a living...I work with kids on the autism spectrum. As you may imagine, I've had my fill of tykes by the end of the day. But, thanks for the good idea!
If I was a really good person, I would take you up on that! smile
@Prince...yes, why didn't I think of that sooner! We are desperate enough, that I'm sure the man wouldn't mind...hell, he could be one too! Winking The ladies love a tall tall man...
@Ian...already tried that and it failed...think we need more "practice". Jamaica tried to help us out, but we were amatures Sad Things are looking up in our state, though!
@Feisty...you are the second one to come up with the dog shit idea...people are really that lazy that they can't pick up their own dog's shit? What's this world coming to??
@sweethearts...thanks doll. That's good idea, but I think it may require some starter capital, while this Ram has less than zero (aw..love that movie)...
@VB...thanks hun! I will check that out for sure. If I get hosed, I'm coming after you at the farm down the road!

That's not a fun situation :/ I do hope you are able to find a way to make some extra money! It gets way too stressful to be under financially, especially nowadays!
hehehe That would be awesome! "Honey, dear, could you please pull this lever?" "Why sure, ma'am!" *pulls lever* "Oh my goodness! You are the strongest girl in the world!"
hehe Ok, I lifted a little from Nick Swardson, that guy is hilarious to me Tongue

Thanks...I do appreciate that! It's really twisted. I finally have a job I love and am going back to school after being away for 10 years. All should be well in the world, damnit!
I'm tellin' ya...go after it! Watch out for the old guy that likes to pinch cute 23 year old ass!
LOL DEAL ramfish, if I see one cheesed off Aries trucking up my gravel path I'll duck behind the sink. The ol' "Dodge-A-Mormon" strategy. Winking
Too bad it wasn't cat poo Feisty, then dog walk and clean cat mess at the same time. A two'fer.

I sell Mary Kay cosmetics on the side. You make 50% of what you sell, you also get a 50% discount for yourself, which is nice if you like makeup and other girlie stuff like that.
You could go to the site marykay.com if you're interested in finding out more, or you can send me a private msg if u have questions.


Thanks lady! About how much time per week do you spend on this venture?
