Tbh I dont think there are any apart from your usual day to day job if you are lucky enough to get one that allows you to work from home. Or Avon bettaware etc. Other than that I think they are scams/dodgy.

I wish! Except for Avon etc like the other poster said they are all scams I think. You could buy and sell on ebay maybe? xxx

You could start a little ironing business

^WSS - I was going to suggest this, not a scam, but needs in demand skills.

I just started selling Scentsy and I love it. Not really work from home as you have to do parties but you can work as much or as little as you want. It is just reaching the UK so being so new creates an amazing opportunity!

Now is the best time to think about becoming an Independent Scentsy Consultant selling warmers in the U.K. and Germany.
facts:

1. Scentsy has approximately 145,000 consultants in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico
2. Avon has 5 million consultants worldwide
3. UK is the 6th largest economy with more than 50 million people and the 6th largest purchasing power!
4. Germany is the 4th largest economy with more than 80 million people and the 5th largest purchasing power!

If you live in Germany, England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, feel free to contact me about Scentsy in your country! If you are interested in learning more, email me or PM me

The European launch was just 4 months ago so the opportunities are endless!

I used to work for Ann Summer party plan, it was great fun and amazing money. It was all commission based but as the cliche goes- sex sells. i put myself through uni doing party plan. Made 727 in one night before, then there are the nights when you walk away with £20 so swings and round abouts.
I also took it back up again when i wanted to buy a new dog. i wanted a german shepherd so knew i needed at least £500 plus enough for all vaccinations etc. I did it for 5 weeks and made more than enough money.
Its something ive considered taking up when i have a LO and hubby can stay at home for a few hours alone.

I work for Lionbridge. Google it. They pay $14.50 an hour for the Internet Assessor position. It was 100% not a scam. I've been working for them since May. It's very mundane work (boring), but they pay on time and the pay is good. Good luck finding work from home.

Hi,

I've just signed up to be an Usborne Organiser, which involves selling Usborne books. You can do this by party planning, events (like Christmas fairs, craft fairs etc) and through schools (in order to sell to schools you have to have made 6 x £100 orders).

The commission is really good, you earn 24% on orders received. I decided to take the plunge as I've recently had a little girl and my whole world seems to revolve around children now, lol, and I have met a lot of friends that have recently had babies, so thought books would be something I could easily sell and I love Usborne books they're gorgeous.

It only cost me £38 to start and for that I've received over £100 worth of books and stationary. The good thing about getting a supply of books is that you have something to show at parties or events where you may hold a stall. You also get catalogues which holds the whole Usborne range, something like over 1800 books!

As long as you sell £100 of books within your first 12 weeks you have no further obligation to the company, so you can stop altogether or decide to sell as and when you choose. As it's coming up to Christmas I'm sure that this will be achievable. I thought that I could always buy some book for my little one if I'm a bit short but realistically I only have to sell £10 worth of books a week to do that. If say you don't make £100 worth of sales within 12 weeks, Usborne invoice you for the difference of the starter pack and the £38, which would roughly equate to £100. There's no targets either, which really appealed to me as I want to be free to do as much or as little as I want. As a new mum I don't want to take too much on too soon, if you know what I mean.

I looked into a lot of different work from home ideas and chose Usborne because I like books, you don't have any targets, you can do as much or as little as you want and because the start up cost is relatively low. The way I see it is that if it doesn't work out all I've spent is £38 (which I'd easily spend on a meal out). If I don't make my £100 in 12 weeks then Isabella will have some lovely books that'll I'll buy in order to ensure I meet the £100. Coming up to Christmas loads of people will want to buy for family members etc and the books are sooo lovely.

If you want any further info, please feel free to pm me.

Good luck whatever you decide to do xx
