If you live in the city, you could be a pet sitter or dog walker. I have seen adds for data entry/work at home jobs. I haven't checked them out. Anyone? Run errands for busy neighbors. Thats all I have for now..Gloria E. Morgan.
Hello,
For years, while homeschooling our children, I ran a secretarial service. I know several people who tutor. Some specialize. One teaches a gymnastics contestant four hours a day so she can spend the rest of her time practicing for competitions. Anything can be taught. I sent my sons to sewing lessons. They made costumes for a local historical reenactment activity.
I substituted in a day care, and was their official after-school tutor. I selected my assistants because some people in day care can't spell, etc. During the summer, I offered to do an enrichment program for the schoolers occasionally. They asked me to come in for an hour every day. We did "Shakespeare for Children", "Bean Art", "Beginning Birdwatching", "Beginning Cartooning", and anything else I could think of. Bringing in my pet birds to explain the parts of the wing, etc., was a big hit. I am hoping to do it again this summer. I will probably add "Math Games".
Obviously, when computers became more popular, I lost some secretarial business, but I still get the occasional resume to write or dictated tape to transcribe. If I had been near a college, I would have had more money typing term papers. I think term papers have gone by the wayside since the Internet. At least their quality has. I asked the head of the high school English Department about students and their parents getting upset that I didn't correct their grammar and spelling. She said to correct it!
Later, I substituted. Different school districts pay different amounts. Where I live, a substitute does not have to have college, but I have graduate school. As a public secretary, I had all sorts of requests. I even did courthouse research for a family tree researcher and an out-of-town lawyer with a local case.
I have a background in journalism. The pay for the occasional newspaper article is awful, but magazines pay fairly well. The best pay I ever got in journalism was for an article idea for the "National Enquirer", and it was a true story. I never was paid for a newspaper column (in three weekly newspapers), but I know of people who are paid by their tiny town newspapers. At one time, I got extra pay for sending trivia items to a trivia columnist for ten years. I used to read a lot before mystery shopping, and I just sent in interesting things I learned to the syndicated (means his column appeared in numerous newspapers) columnist, who said I was his best supplier.
I am very active in politics. I have worked my way up to election judge in city, primary and general elections. I live in a small county. One year, I ran the primary election, hiring workers and getting polling places, for my party's county chairman. I was in the military reserve for 13 years. During that time, I took temporary active duty tours of 60 days each. I worked on a military newspaper during those times. I was invited to an extra annual training one year--in Alaska in January. It was like a vacation. (It takes 20 years to get retirement.)
There are other part-time jobs that I haven't attempted in this area.
The local livestock auction hires people to work with the animals on auction day. It is extremely hectic and can be dangerous. When our strapping, athletic son was 14 and no one else would hire him, he worked one and sometimes two days a week there. (When he started working full-time at the feed store, I signed a special form saying he had permission since he was under 16. He got homeschooling credit for working and, I don't remember but probably Agriculture as well. Both of our sons worked part-time for a taxidermist during hunting season. Their jobs were butchering the animals. It was always a puzzlement to me that they could have these jobs, and also mow yards for money, and it was legal, but because of their ages the restaurants wouldn't hire them to wash dishes because they might come into contact with a steak knife.)
The local newspaper publisher hires people to stuff the advertising flyers into the newspaper once a week when the paper comes out.
There are night jobs available. The hospital, motels and bail bondsmen need night workers. The hospitals might use a security service but some just hire their own. So do movie theaters. Since 9/11, security officers (They are not guards anymore.) are part of Homeland Security. They have to have training. Not all carry guns.
Another thing you might try is selling vitamins, making stuffed toys, altering clothes, woodworking; and going to flea markets or conventions where you have a booth. My husband used to make custom earplugs (made on the spot to fit the individual's ear) at conventions for hobbyists and workers in loud environments. For twelve years, until people started doing their own on the computer, he did taxes. He was among the first in our area to offer electronic filing.
A woman I know makes tortillas for the local restaurants. Another makes pies. I'm sure that in the cities they would have to deal with the inspectors a lot more than they do now.
My nephew bought a junked car and sold parts on e-Bay. I don't know whether he took pictures of each part. I know a law student who sells tropical fish on e-Bay. She knows how to pack them so they will ship well. She specializes in species.
Some people with the degrees and qualifications teach GED at night.
As hard as it is to get someone good to clean houses and mow (and weedeat, and haul away junk), there ought to be money in that. A woman told me that she makes more money cleaning houses than she did working for someone else, but she's found that people look down on her because of what she does. Our sons tried lawn mowing, but even the commercial lawn mower would break down a lot.
I've seen people go door to door asking to wash and detail (clean out) cars.
In cities, some people run errands, such as get groceries for the busy or the elderly.
I have sold one book and contributed two chapters to a book someone else edited. I have written book reviews in a magazine for free magazines. A pet magazine paid me to send in trivia similar to that I sent to the trivia columnist.
Sometimes you have to investigate what will be paid, because if you are doing something odd, the person buying won't know what to pay. I would think that a person who would plan garage sales would do well. Most people have perfectly good things they want to get rid of but don't have the time or the know-how. That way, if one offers a location, you could get money from all the neighbors to put their items in it, too.
If something major is being constructed in your community, you could offer to deliver from restaurants to the construction crew each day. Some restaurants that are popular may not offer delivery. Monday might be one restaurant, Tuesday another, or you might have five restaurants on your permanent list. Just make sure that the food stays cold or hot.
The main thing is that you have to know your community. A mystery shopper knows the community.
I tried those online questionnaires, but the questions were silly. I wanted to answer political questions or earth-shaking issues questions, not whether I liked pink or red, and then have to say whether I'll buy 500 products before I can get out of the opinion polling website.
Recently, I signed up to grade standardized tests with a local company. (It takes a college degree.) They assign by projects like mystery shopping does, and sometimes you don't know in advance exactly how long the project will be. It pays well. They are looking for fluent Spanish speakers for the new English-as-a-Second-Language tests. A professor I know at a university that caters to South and Central Americans can't find a U. S. government textbook in Spanish. Can you write one? A publisher would probably give you a contract. You (I could, for that matter.) hire fluent speakers to write the different chapters.
Look for anything seasonal--Christmas work, summer work. Have you considered running a fireworks stand outside the city (because they aren't allowed in the city and personally I wouldn't set one off myself) for Fourth of July or New Years'?
I used to work for temporary agencies. I was sent to numerous offices. Today,there are temporary agencies for accountants, nurses and manual laborers. Today, my son, who wants to be an actor, takes temporary assignments. Hotels and caterers call the company and ask for him by name. he washes dishes, cleans up and sometimes serves. When he is an extra on a movie, he is paid by the day but the day is long. Several local people I know have done this. I was flabbergasted to learn that he is not allowed to read or do anything but watch while he is there. If you sing, dance and play a musical instrument, you might hire on at a theme park for the summer. Someone I know just checked on his lifelong dream of working the summer at Yellowstone National Park, and said that the pay wouldn't cover much more than his expenses ;-(
I think that the days of selling Amway, Avon, World Book, etc., is gone because of security concerns. Stanley Home Parties and Tupperware parties seem less common because women work these days. And perhaps because of more competition at the local store. It seems that Pampered Chef is doing well here, though.
Recently, I told an elderly woman that I have never had just one job in my adult life, if you count college as a job. She looked at me funny, then said, "You tithe, don't you?" and quoted a Bible verse, I think from the book of Titus. For those of you who aren't Christians, tithing means giving ten percent of your income to the Lord.

Thanks for the great post! I'd love to hear more from you. How can I get a hold of you?

I used to live in Illinois and made a living at house cleaning. It was great because I could do two a day or one a day if they were large and still make plans for other things. The pay was good and I ended up with most of the same clients for 10-13 years until I had to move to take care of my ailing dad.
I'm currently working as a mystery shopper and loving it.I would like to work out of my home I find that all of the working at home jobs take money to get started.Are there any work at home jobs where you don't have to invest any money to get started.I only work part time and live on a small budget at this time.If there are any such work at home jobs that don't take money to get started please let me know.Melody
Since all of you know how to use a computer, why not give beginner computer lessons. There are many elderly people who have no idea how to turn on a computer. Many of them want the basic knowledge.
This is a no cost setup. Just hang fliers in shopping centers. Of course you should check with the state about tax requirements.

Yes Ive heard of Melaleuca. I did it for alittle while. Anyone every heard of Arbonne?? Thats what Im doin now and love it!!!!
There is a home job that hires if you can pass the computer test, it is called Alpine Access. Y ou need to know how to cascade and tile and type and have a computer. I agree about the tithing statement.
i'm interested in learning more about this melaleuca, and arbonne! please email me with information! frgy25@yahoo.com
I have done daycare in my home for the past 32 years. It is good money if you get paid. I never had any problem the first 25 years but the last few have been really bad. The kids come until it is time to pay and I never see them again. I am quiting that. I have been doing Mystery Shopping for over ayear now and really enjoy that but would like to find more to do at home. I also have a copy and printing shop in my home. That is not not too bad. I get a lot of orders for reprinting old pictures. I also have a craft supply business out of my home. The closest craft supply sotres are over 60 miles away so if anyone needs supplies they can get them by calling me. I do carry a large inventory also in a converted garage. I have found that if I really want to work, which i do, I have no problem keeping busy. I also keep printer cartridges and toner and other office supplies on hand. It is over 60 miles away for someone to get office supplies also so that way if they need them in a hurry I have them available. Darlene
In addition to a little mystery shopping, I am also an independent Watkins Associate and love it!! and the products
There were three other things I wanted to add. I collect the mail at the post office for a family that lives in an RV and send it to them by Priority Mail on Tuesdays. The last time I checked--about two years ago--the going national rate for that was $35 a month. Companies advertise in RV magazines.
My son's church rents out its hall. He has a job cleaning up there after banquets, etc.
Festivals in small towns, where there isn't a regular street/fairgrounds crew, will allow (get a contract?) people to clean up for them. Of course, all the empty drink cans are recycled, and that is the pay for the family that cleans.

How We Get Paid
We offer two positions that are available immediately. Once you work for Ameriplan, you can choose to work with both positions, or simply work one. The choice is up to you.
1st Position: We help people work at home
We are looking for people that will take pride in helping others work for our company. If you have an upbeat personality and like to help people, you will have tremendous success with our company. All you need is your computer and your phone to work.
Every month, millions of people are searching online/offline to find a real, legitimate, work at home business and now you can help them find that, all while making an amazing income from the comfort of your home. We will train you, step by step, on how to master this position. You are in the foreground, paving the way for our company to continuously grow and expand. You must be coachable and be willing to have fun interviewing people.
There is no telemarketing nor cold calling involved with our company.
We have many people from all walks of life that we work with. We have stay at home moms, dads, students, grandparents, teachers and entrepreneurs. These people were also looking for work at home, just like you are now. Many of them were frustrated and almost gave up until they found us. Feel free to stop by and get to know your future team members by clicking here.
2nd Position: Benefits Specialist
We are looking for people that want to help people save money on their health benefits.
This too, is a very rewarding position. Without you, millions of people wouldn't know about the wonderful benefits Ameriplan offers. You will be helping others save hundreds and thousands of dollars on the rising cost of dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic benefits. You will make a difference in someone's quality of life.
It is estimated that 7 out of 10 people (140 million Americans) have no form of dental or vision coverage. We all know people with teeth and eyes, people that take prescription drugs, or people that suffer from some form of back pain. Why not help them save a substantial amount of money on these four benefits and get paid great money for doing it?
We will train you on how to market these benefits to those people at a very affordable price. The people you help save money with our benefits package will be your members. Because our company has such a high retention rate with our members, you keep getting paid month after month, year after year as long as they remain on the plan.
Many companies are downsizing, many people are getting laid off, many people are retiring, many part-timers and small business owners can't afford to provide any benefits for their employees. We will train you on how to secure this potential market.
Our health benefits are very affordable. People save up to 50% on medical care, up to 80% on dental services, up to 60% on vision services, and up to 50% on prescription and chiropractic benefits. Click here to see details of our health benefits.
Ameriplan Dental Benefits includes FREE Prescription, Vision and Chiropractic plans. $11.95/month single person OR $19.95/month for an entire household.

I was doing mystery shopping before Ameriplan, once I started Ameriplan the very first week of productivity I was earning and working toward my monthly residual income checks. I am able to swing mystery shopping along as a way to treat/reward myself for good work done....Nothing is more relaxing than a soothing evening at one of my favorite eating spots to wind down while assessing a free meal(reimbursement).

How We Get Paid
We offer two positions that are available immediately. Once you work for Ameriplan, you can choose to work with both positions, or simply work one. The choice is up to you.
1st Position: We help people work at home
We are looking for people that will take pride in helping others work for our company. If you have an upbeat personality and like to help people, you will have tremendous success with our company. All you need is your computer and your phone to work.
Every month, millions of people are searching online/offline to find a real, legitimate, work at home business and now you can help them find that, all while making an amazing income from the comfort of your home. We will train you, step by step, on how to master this position. You are in the foreground, paving the way for our company to continuously grow and expand. You must be coachable and be willing to have fun interviewing people.
There is no telemarketing nor cold calling involved with our company.
We have many people from all walks of life that we work with. We have stay at home moms, dads, students, grandparents, teachers and entrepreneurs. These people were also looking for work at home, just like you are now. Many of them were frustrated and almost gave up until they found us. Feel free to stop by and get to know your future team members by clicking here.
2nd Position: Benefits Specialist
We are looking for people that want to help people save money on their health benefits.
This too, is a very rewarding position. Without you, millions of people wouldn't know about the wonderful benefits Ameriplan offers. You will be helping others save hundreds and thousands of dollars on the rising cost of dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic benefits. You will make a difference in someone's quality of life.
It is estimated that 7 out of 10 people (140 million Americans) have no form of dental or vision coverage. We all know people with teeth and eyes, people that take prescription drugs, or people that suffer from some form of back pain. Why not help them save a substantial amount of money on these four benefits and get paid great money for doing it?
We will train you on how to market these benefits to those people at a very affordable price. The people you help save money with our benefits package will be your members. Because our company has such a high retention rate with our members, you keep getting paid month after month, year after year as long as they remain on the plan.
Many companies are downsizing, many people are getting laid off, many people are retiring, many part-timers and small business owners can't afford to provide any benefits for their employees. We will train you on how to secure this potential market.
Our health benefits are very affordable. People save up to 50% on medical care, up to 80% on dental services, up to 60% on vision services, and up to 50% on prescription and chiropractic benefits. Click here to see details of our health benefits.
Ameriplan Dental Benefits includes FREE Prescription, Vision and Chiropractic plans. $11.95/month single person OR $19.95/month for an entire household.
Ameriplan Health Benefits include FREE Dental, Prescription, Vision and Chiropractic plans. $49.95/month for an individual OR $59.95/month for your entire household.

I was doing mystery shopping before Ameriplan, once I started Ameriplan the very first week of productivity I was earning and working toward my monthly residual income checks. I am able to swing mystery shopping along as a way to treat/reward myself for good work done....Nothing is more relaxing than a soothing evening at one of my favorite eating spots to wind down while assessing a free meal(reimbursement).
I tried Ameriplan- it's too much like Amway for me. I know those who do will disagree, but that's what it is for me. Try these at home places LiveOps. com. and willow.com. LiveOps is live operators for customer service calls that come in to you. They set you up with the software and you just need a secure line, quiet work space. Pays pretty good. The same with willow.com. Itls more on line support. Try it.
I wasn't going to reply to this, but I see there's a few other direct sales companies on here. So I thought I would.
I don't know if any of you have heard of Jerky Direct, it's probably one of the easiest and least expensive companies out there.
For only $12.00 you get 2 big bags of jerky, they have all natural, organic, even fruit. Free shipping, your own web site, a back office with marketing materials and business cards you can print off. The have lots of other great products, but you never have to buy anything else. Your business will never cost you more than $12.00.
Now the money making part
you can sell a number of ways, by signing others up, by orders from your web site, by setting up retail locations, the choice is yours. Yes it is network marketing, if you're going to sign others up. But here's some fun facts: Sign up 6 people and your jerky is free. Have them each do the same, just to get free jerky, and you're on your way to making thousands a month.
Didn't mean to make this sound like an ad, but it's a great company, and the jerky is some of the best you'll find. If you'd like more info, head over to [wholesale2you.jerkydirect.com] and check it out. e-mail me at sharon-groom@hotmail.com with any questions.

I've been doing mystery shopping for about 6 months and I'm making an average of about $150/month, just by doing it while my daughter is in preschool 6 hours/week.
Another thing that I've done (and I'm still doing) is participating in focus groups. These probably aren't available in small towns, but just go on-line and look up "focus group" and your city and see what comes up. You can usually only do a focus group for each company once every 6 months, but they pay anywhere from $75-$150 for 1-3 hours worth of work. I just did one last week for $100 that lasted 1 1/2 hours. So, the point is to get signed up with lots of companies.
Also, in our area, consignment sales are really big! (not the consignment stores, but churches and other organizations will host consignment sales twice a year.) I just made $250 at the sale in March. I sold some of my daughter's things (some still with tags!), a few things that friends and neighbors had given me and I get some things at a thrift store very close to my house. All kids clothes are $1 at the thrift store, no matter what! I've gotten lots of Gap, Old Navy, Gymboree, Childrens Place and Talbots Kids clothes. I've even found 2 Lilly Pulitzer dresses for $1.50 each! (which I sold on ebay.) I realize that the intent of the thrift store isn't for me to make money, but I go in about twice a month and get about $10 worth of stuff. If you can find a thrift store with low prices, you can see if they get name brand stuff. Some people sell their stuff on ebay, but I didn't want to "upgrade" my paypal account since I don't want to have to give them a % of my mystery shop money.
In addition to that, I do a little babysitting (for friends who have businesses where they do "parties" to sell things), as well as an occasional dog sitting for neighbors. That's all I can think of for now-Good Luck!

I would like the names of companys that will pay you to work at home. I do not want to be a owner. I just want to do work on the computer at home. Everything is own your business and make $2000.00 a week. Is there anyone out there with names of some companys. I would appreciate it.
Lots of good ideas here.
A word on teaching older folks to use the computer. I always ask that they have a specific project in mind before I agree to work with them. Otherwise, they just say things like, "I want to use the Internet." To do what? "I want to know how to use Word and Excel and Quicken." What are you trying to do? I find if you don't have a project to get them started on, you'll go crazy trying to teach them *everything* they ever wanted to know. If they're working on a specific project to start, they'll get a lot of exposure to all the other stuff as their project goes on. I always give them an IM contact they can use for 1-2 hrs a day (of course, they prepay for a couple hours of support up front if they can afford it - this is one area where you don't charge more than folks can afford: you might even give a freebie once in a while) for quick questions. Depending on the people involved and how soft-hearted you are, it's easy to make $15 to $75/hr even if you live in a rural area.
Secretarial services always work, especially if you're good at doing resumes. Some folks just don't have a clue. And many small businessfolk (again, especially in rural areas) don't have a lot of writing skills and will utilize you to make them look good.
Hey, guess what? I live in a rural area! And you'd think there isn't much you can do around here, but you'd be pleasantly surprised. I'm somewhat limited by being 60+ and not having a lot of physical strength, but I more than make up for it by picking and choosing the jobs I like.
I do some merchandising; I perform gas station and fast food audits; I teach folks to use their computers; I freelance for small businessfolk; I still do a bit of internet marketing (and don't even think about talking to *me* about Melaleuca!); I take digital photos of anything that needs to be digitized; I, of course, mystery shop in between doing everything else. And, of course, I pray for the day when I can finally shed the limitations of dial-up and access the web via broadband of whatever kind (half a mile away as of last week - soon).

Jeanne, I had a secretarial service for several years. Things slowly fell away as more and more people got computers and I couldn't afford to have equipment lying around that people rarely requested. A couple of years ago, I redid my business card, changing the colors of my logo, and now specialize in resume writing. In a small town, it never was enough to support anyone, and it is even less work today. I enjoy it and I am known for it, so I'll keep it.
You're right about secretarial services being a rough and slow way to make a living. The secret, I think, is to specialize. Resumes are always good because there are always folks out there who don't know how to present themselves.
Graphic arts is another good specialization. Even tho folks have Print Shop (ugh!) on their PCs, they're not really *good* at using the program features. Have you notices that amateurs always want to use the fanciest fonts and the brightest colors and visual effects? They end up with results that are too busy and difficult to read and then wonder why no one is buying the dog or coming to the yard sale. This is a niche a person with a good eye and some common sense can make a good living at. Set your prices, but offer a discount of (maybe) $1 a printout if they allow you to put a small blurb at the bottom or side of the work - passive advertising! Just a last name or company name and a phone number, URL or email address is sufficient. You'd be surprised - folks will pay $12 to $35 for design of a page that takes you maybe 20 minutes, plus additional money for each copy they want you to print (make sure you cover your ink cost - OR find a good color copy shop) or for a printfile if they want to be able to print it using their own printer...
I guess what I'm trying to say is: Find things you really enjoy doing at home whether on your computer or not and then offer to do that same task for others while getting paid for it.
And great good fortune to us all!

Thanks, Jeanne,
A woman who works with me on a part-time job won't be available during the summer because she crochets and "sell everything I make".

First,of all I would like to post a rebuttle to the previous reply concerning
Ameriplan. It is absolutely nothing like Amway. We are registered with the Better Business Bureau. We are associated with major corporations like Walmart, Walgreens, Pearl Vision,etc., just to name a few. Trust me, big chains would not be associated with us if we were anything like Amway and if that was so, you can bet a "top dollar" I would not be associated with such a company and would never dream of promoting thier opportunity to others.
To the rebuttled poster, please take heed not to "bash or clash" other great companies due to your unfavorable bearings. There are many including myself making an extremely decent living with this company. This company has allowed me to quit one of my jobs, I never dreamed I could quit. I was mystery shopping heavily until I was blessed to run upon Ameriplan. I have applied myself to the opportunity for success in this business and have been most pleased. However, it is wrong to rob others of a great opportunity due to your personal opinion. I have opinions about the companies you are pushing but I realize it would be wrong to "bash" something for someone else just because I personally disagree.
Personally, I hope people will do their researches and investigations on ANY company listed on this board or any other board for that matter. Don't take the words of some individual who choose to bash due to a failure on their part. Always, check out these companies with the BBB, also check out their legitimacy and standards, if their are products/services involved, then make sure they have a gaurantee/money back- policy in force. Make sure the company have a full contact source, (for ex: location/address/telephone no,) available. I would be very leery of companies that can not produce a phone no. along with other contact info.
And again, do your research and "homework" on ANY company that "appeals to taste" ofcourse your discerning ability will give you an idea of whether someone is "bashing" due to a personal conflict- inflicted...Let's face it, one must choose an opportunity that works for them because they feel they can fall in love and have fun doing whatever it is they intend to try....Have a strong desire to make your business work because of your love for helping others, NOT...only for the money...and I personally feel one will go a lot further with this application to the process. If you are not loving whatever it is you are doing then you will possibly tired and get burned out and possibly even drop out on an avenue that could lead to great success. That is the purpose for most companies interviewing process, to see if the opportunity is suitable for the individual.
I would like to express thanks for Mr. J. allowing us to post our opportunities here but I am almost sure he would agree that it is poor business ethics as well as poor "taste" to "clash" at other opportunities. This can be a great board for posting and helping others if we learn to have respect and common courtesy for one another. It is no wonder that people have rules and standards for their boards to keep them clean and respectful, some actually have to be taught common courtesy.
Note: Don't forget to do thorough researches and I wish everyone here the greatest success ever in their choices...Now here's to your success!

I just wanted to add something about Ameriplan. At my last job I had medical insurance, but no dental. One of my coworkers told me about Ameriplan, she and her daughter had it for a few years prior. I got it and kept it right up until I started receiving benefits at my current job. I was delighted with it, I had it for about 5 years total. Its a terrific plan, for those with no dental, or prescription coverage. My boyfriend had no medical, so he really saved with the prescription coverage, I think they paid 2/3 of the cost for most generic drugs.
I am always very sceptical, and if I had seen an add for it, I probably would have not gotten it. Since I knew somebody that actually used the plan, and was happy with it, I gave it a try.
I was not involved with the sales aspect of this company, I can only speak from the customer perspective. I do think a company that will provide the service they advertise with no surprises it a decent one.

Gee. Ameriplan, I didn't know this column was for commercials. Actually, the pyramid scheme is not dead.... it has just changed its name. Avon wasn't a pyramid scheme until the turn of the century, Amway thought up the concept (and it is good soap....), health food products.
I wanted a break from my psychotherapist practice, and sold over 100k of Avon in three years (and bought enough Xmas ornaments to last a lifetime, Avon ladies are Avon's best customers!), but what I made was more like in the low teens a year. The pyramid schemes take a healthy percentage and pass it upward. (I did get to meet my neighbors, and still cannot do a quick run to the grocery store.) A pyramid scheme is where one recruits and makes money off of the people they recruit. The higher on the pyramid you are, the more you make. The lower people finally run out of new people and resent the higher people. There is little wrong with these companies, if you know what you are getting into.
I still do psychotherapy; on the phone.
Some things I have done successfully is to advertise at colleges, to "pump up" term papers. You better be good, though, cause if they get a "C" they will want their money back.
I have done research for people, who want to know a thing, and don't have the time to search the internet. I love doing this. You can also find people... it is easier than you think. This spreads like wildfire...... they tell two friends, and they tell two friends and so on...... This one you have to be good AND fast.
I have made a good living (and continue to) selling ebooks. In fact, if you hit a nerve, this can be more lucritive than the books I sold in the late eighties with the big publishing houses (we TYPED them back them, can you believe it?) It is less picky than selling to the magazines (who I think are drawing their last breathes anyway, soon we will have only in house writing). What is your expertise? I write on counseling subjects, but everyone has something they are good at. Try it; you have nothing to lose (find an editor if your prose is not outstanding; I have heard tell that people get really upset paying money for double negatives. (And the high colonic needed Shop House editors won't be anywhere in sight. Just kidding...... sort of.....) If you hire an editor, you will choose someone who is nice about it.
Here is a novel approach; make all your sons (heck, your daughters, too) take auto shop in high school. They save you money, and you pay them by paying for ventures you would have financed anyway (shhhhhh, don't tell). A penny saved.....
My last idea is the only one I haven't tried...yet. This business statistical analysis stuff (mystery shopping to you) couldn't be that difficult. I live in a big city where there are many corporate headquarters. I am not really serious about this; it is more hours than I want to work, but I have looked at the legalities, and except for Nevada, it is pretty simple. It requires service permits, tax and legal documents,.... lots of trees die. I think I would rather work for one of the existing companies, but if I can't find anything, having a few accounts of my own is a good bargaining tool.
I wanted a break from my psychotherapist practice, and sold over 100k of Avon in three years (and bought enough Xmas ornaments to last a lifetime, Avon ladies are Avon's best customers!), but what I made was more like in the low teens a year. The pyramid schemes take a healthy percentage and pass it upward. (I did get to meet my neighbors, and still cannot do a quick run to the grocery store.) A pyramid scheme is where one recruits and makes money off of the people they recruit. The higher on the pyramid you are, the more you make. The lower people finally run out of new people and resent the higher people. There is little wrong with these companies, if you know what you are getting into.

Wannabe scheduler/editor
For those of us that have their own websites. why don't we exchange our sites with each other so that each of us can look at the others and mybe help each other out? I personally have a website with Global Domains International and would be happy to share the address with anyone who is willing to ry to make a litle money away from mystery shopping with a little effort. Maybe we can al find something that will allow us to make some additional monies that would help each of us. I'm game if anyone else is.

I was retired for 5 years before I stumbled upon Mystery shopping/Evaluations. This has opened up a new world. i feel part of the business world, keep busy, go to great places. I am now thinking of getting flyers made, and passing them out in our Industrial area and shop for exceutives. Making healthy gourmet sandwichs and low-fat brownies, etc. is a good way to pick up a couple $$$.....won't get rich, but....just don't want to go door go door, will try and sell them to Whole foods.
Does anyone know anything about paid focus groups?

Walk dogs...$10.00 an hour for one, $20.00 for two and $55.00 to spend the night and so on. That's sweet money and no reports to write no gas money....think about it.
