Working and caring for three small kids
In the past six years I have gone from job to job - most work from home in the writing industry, and I just feel like I can never keep up. My husband has a full time job thank God, but we need more than just one job to support us. After some time with the program I am doing, I have started to make a very adequate salary. It has been the perfect balance for me and my family. I am not rolling in money, but am bringing in money to help with the bills and reduce the stress on the family. I would love to help at least one other mom who is a situation like me. I don't want to post about it here, not sure what the guidelines are, but I would love to share my business opportunity and hopefully help someone like someone helped me before.
Freelance work has definitely helped! But, I am loving how much more flexible this business has been. Hope I gave someone hope that there is a way to help!
Re: Working and caring for three small kids
If you're legit, OP, or for anyone else out there looking for flexible part-time work...mystery shopping (MS) is another nice way to go. I've been doing it for almost 15 years.
Volition.com is the best place to go to learn more about this type of work. It's a free website, with a huge forum all about MS, and also has a clickable list for the websites of over 200 MS companies. None of whom charge fees to sign up to be a shopper. No real MS company does.
I never got much into it because I usually found the pay too low for me personally, but other flexible type gigs are merchandising and demos. I think there is a forum about that kind of work also on Volition. And again, real merchandising and demo companies will never charge a fee to be put in their database. The pay is typically in the $8-$12/hour range, though I've also done the occasional assignment that was more in the $15-$20/hour range.
In fact, one Thanksgiving/Christmas season, I was fortunate to hook up with a company that set up liquor sampling demonstrations in grocery stores. I made $20/hour for 4-hour assignments where I gave people small samples of wine and liquor! Plus I got to keep all the bottles at the end of the demonstration. Good times, good times. It paid higher than typical because I had to...on my own time...get a state "responsible vendor" license. The same thing a bartender or server needs to get.
