At home after my little girl was born, I was desperate to earn some extra money, to support the family budget. I spent many, many hours on the internet trying to find work I could do at home. All wanted cash payments up front - all are a scam. I spent around �60-�80 that I could well afford applying to these places, in the hope of earning proper money. More often that not, for your 'up front payment' you get some pathetic list of companies to contact, who apparently want home workers. - They are either non-exsistant, or fob you off. I even considered those pyramid schemes I was so desperate.
In the end I bit the bullett - did a qualification in Bookkeeping and now run a successful part time bookkeeping business from home.
My advise to you is that there is no easy way to earn money at home. In reality very few companies are looking for home workers - the biggest rip offs are the 'envelope stuffing' ones. Why would a company get a homeworker to sit and write out addressess / stuff envelopes, when a machine can do it in half the time?!
Sorry to be so negative, but my advices would be to pick a subject you really enjoy, and try and make it into a proper home business that you can run, and be able to earn money direct from.
