two in one day!

One of the challenges of being a stay at home mom not working. OK, I know that doesn't sound like it makes any sense, I mean, any SAHM will tell you that it is a demanding job. What I mean actually is doing a job and getting paid. I want to work, but I don't want someone else raising my kids which leaves me with only one option. Work from home. But what do I want to do? Well, I decided to do some research and see what was out there for Moms that want to work from home doing a legitimate business. I googled and was flooded with all kinds of websites some of them info sites, a lot of scams, some MLM stuff and then there might have been some legit companies that would pay people to do data entry at home. The latter are impossible to find out there in the haystack of sites. Correct me if I am wrong here but shouldn't I be able to find work without paying for it? Why should I pay someone to send me work? The other option are the sites that tell you that they can get you working from home if you send them your contact info. Foolishly I did so and have now had two calls from separate individuals wanting to talk to me about their company. Basically they are MLM (Herbal Life and Usana) and they want me to be on their downline. Right now, I am involved in Mona Vie and I'm not really doing much with it. Let's face it, I am not a salesperson really. I believe in the product, I love it actually but I don't love talking to people about it. I don't want to be that person that no one wants to hang out with because all I talk about is Mona Vie. So, I am trying to find another way to make some money at home so that my husband does not have to work himself to death to support us. I've decided to get back to writing, which is slow going and might never make any money but it's worth a go.
