I really just wanted a few ideas. I do work during the day, I watch a couple of kids, but I can only watch so many. I don't mind leaving the house at for a second job. I have no intention of starting a blog. Even if I could make money at it, it would take a long time to build traffic and this is an immediate problem, like tomorrow.
I really didn't think you wanted to start a blog, but I also don't think they are on their way out. Sorry to get so off topic!
You could earn that much a month delivering newspapers in the early morning.
Old thread, I know, but in the 3 years that have passed I'm sure paper delivery has become even less lucrative. A buddy did it for a while. I think he told me he made less than $600/month (a dozen years ago) but his car took a serious beating.
I know this is an old thread, but do you have a college degree from a prestigious school? You can potentially work as an admissions consultant and help applicants with their essay writing process. It's a big business that pays very well. Here's an article about this: Private College Admissions Consultants: Does Your Child Need One? | Ruth Starkman
The reason you can't think of any legitimate "home-based" jobs is because there aren't any. Sorry.
Yep.. Besides support agent which is really inbound sales where you get fired in a week if you don't produce a high rate..
The only economical+logistical option is a second job, and FYI: Even if you had investment funds, any business owner will tell you there is a non-profit period after startup, even if you're doing a contract or contracts, 1k worth of work in the current freelance market is a lot of work and you wouldn't likely be able to make much subbing out parts of big jobs either at what most are paying..
But hey according to everyone who makes over 65k in this country we're just entitled and don't work hard enough.. While they couldn't even hold the jobs we do..
Just a thought here, when we vacation we don't like to send our pets to animal places so we hire a girl here that made a business of coming to your home to feed your pets, and stay with them a bit. Takes maybe 30 min if that. The pets are happy, we feel happy on vaca, and we pay her about 100.00 a week for this service. Get 10 people and bam you have your 1000 a month. No overhead, just some flyer printed up, and a form to fill out with info on pets, feeding times, etc...I believe she has an insur policy too which is very little money.. We also tip her another 50.00 or so. I think this is a great business for someone that is animal friendly. You can even take your kids to feed the animals and play with them..

That's a good entrepreneurial suggestion, but heavily dependent on what you look and talk like..
If you're just sitting around the house, try doing PTC (paid to click) sites. Swagbucks (one of the best), Perk, Zoombucks, InstaGC, GiftHulk, Bing and many others are out there. You're not going to make as much as a job, but it can be a supplement.
One does not do foster care to make money. You only get paid 475$ monthly and have to prove you can pay your own bills to be approved.
I would hate to see a person be a foster parent just for the pay. That's what's wrong with our social services system now. Remember the Union County foster parents???

There's no truth to what you were told in that quote. I've met plenty of foster parents with 1-3 foster kids, they never held down jobs but owned nice homes and drove expeditions as a result of literally thousands a month in foster income.. One I know for sure made around 4k a month with two non-special-needs kids around 10 YOA.. That was '08 in Catawba county and there are even more benefits now.
I'd also like to suggest to anyone even remotely considering the "PTC" systems that were suggested, to go look at the rates.. If fractions of a cent to a couple bucks an hour are "supplemental income" to you, let me come live where you live please cause in my neighborhood, planet Earth, that just barely buys ramen and clean water, and not even enough to eat every day given the transaction overhead and payout policies..
If this is what good advice is, I have a very nice business plan around selling mud pies that I though was retarded that is now looking good..
