Do 'Working From Home Ideas' work?

Just wondering because I'm looking at some of the 'business' online' but they all just look not tacky but a scam!?

Just thinking about it even if I go back to work part time or if the working from home works hopefully I can live off that income..

If they do what have you been interested in?

If you are part of one, what does your working from home idea include?

Success stories please

I'll defo be watching this!

I work from home with my little one for a company called forever Living and it has just started working for me and this is my 3rd month of it, you get 30% profit on every item you sell plus at the end of the month they give you money back again it starts at 5% back on retail prices for all items you buy (which even includes items you buy for yourself at wholesale price) I didnt quite understand this bit at first but they offer great training which helps you get started and even if you only sell £5 in your first month you get your 5% bonus. (i know that doesnt make a lot but you will sell more than £5, I sold £130 in one sale in first month and I had no experience in selling at all!)

For me this has been a great idea, it obviously doesnt make you a fortune overnight but its great for extra income that has rose each month so far and does seem to get you to a proper income eventually. How quickly depends on how much time you put in. I only do 2 days with my child around as well as I want something that works around him. But i hope to do it full time when he starts nursery to earn a decent income. There a website you can view to look at it in more details which contains number to call for a chat to someone regarding it in your area. The website is www.workaloejovera.myforever.biz.

If you interested they will prob help answer any questions or message me as I obviously still new to this business so know most questions that I asked before started up.

What is it that you sell?

Forever Living Products which are Aloe vera and Bee Propolis products, 100% aloe vera in all products, 100% natural, vegan friendly Kosher friendly animal friendly. It contains health drinks, skin and personal care products such as toothpaste and deodorant, make up, diet products, supplements, animal care products and cleaning products.

I use most myself to as I actually like them and find you cant recommend items you don't use yourself.

I was dubious at first but I like the products and that has really helped me to be able to sell them.

I just don't want to feel like I'm wasting money or being hit with hidden charges like I did with Avon when I was about 18 due to not getting deadlines done etc :\

Thats what I was worried about but Forever Living are really up front about the charges they have. They recommend you start by buying a forever business pack which has two of all the top sellers, so you can use 1 and sell the other and gives you the start up products you need for hosting parties and the (2cc) its there language for promotions which gets you started at Assistant Supervisor level and gets you 30% discount on any products you buy or 30% bonus on any you sell plus a 5% bonus back at the end of every month on all products bought and sold (my first 5% bonus was £10 but its a start)

After that the only charges are still very open and thats £10/month (until you cancel) to have the standard web page the design for you plus all online training stuff and then any other training you chose to have varies in price from £5 fast track to max of £28 for the big guns presentations which if you hold out on at first you get to hear about anyway.

Its very reasonable for things like that which is why i went for it as I looked at Avon but was warned of loads of hidden costs. Forever Living were really clear of charges before I signed any paperwork and agreed to join, plus they let me see what they were talking about at a Business Presentation they hold on a Monday where i got to see and try the products for free and speak to others witihin the business and see what they thought, plus what others thinking of joining were thinking. That was what persuaded me in the end. Especially as they free to attend and you can go as many times as you want for free. (I've been 4 times now - twice before I agreed to join as I wanted to make sure they were didnt disappear)

I'm glad someone showed it to me though as I really am loving it and cant wait to keep earning with it. If you interested in it I can get you to a business presentation near you easy enough so you can see for yourself.

I'll look into the company more thank you

No problems, I hope you find the good in it as I did. If not I hope you find the job that suits you best and you get the time you are looking for with your little one.

Been thinking about it and hopefully when peanut is here I want to go to as many mum and baby groups. Swimming etc so I'd get to know a lot of new mums and thinking I enjoy doing doodles and design even though I'm not the greatest of artists or designers but thinking about making my own cards. At first starting it as a hobby and gaining practice and then using them to give to people for Birthdays, New Home/Baby, Christmas ect so it's a hobby at the beginning but then thinking of doing a few to sell?

Then at the M&B groups and the new mums I meet could have them buy some etc mini home parties? Also I've got a lot of School/nursery Fairs in my area so could sell them there and give half the money to the school etc?
