I work on jewelry at home

Sometimes working from home full time programs didn't work for me. So, I decided to it might be a good idea to make jewelry and sell it from a booth and from a website. It has been somewhat successful. Since I just started in the business and am still learning I am rolling with the punches. I plan to continue stringing beads to make jewelry, selling on my website and from booths at shows. I hope 2008 will be better for me in my jewelry business. Also, in September 2007, I began making polymer clay beads which I string with glass beads and spacers. Everyone who has seen the necklaces I have made really love them. I hope that my jewelry business will do well in the near future.

I found out about a company called Minvestment. They pay 1.4% - 1.7% daily on accounts starting at $15. They require that you leave the money in the account for 150 business days. I am enjoying the emails they send me every day and watching my money grow.

Sometime I have been afraid to start businesses or join MLM programs. Most have not worked for me. I hope that my website business featuring my jewelry and displaying my jewelry at shows will prove successful. I know that to be successful there is always risk. I am ready to ride out the rough start so that in the future my business will be strong. I really am enjoying the ride. I love to watch piles of beads and wire become things that can be worn. I also love to watch small locks of polymer clay become things people can adorn their necks with.

Good Luck and Happy New Year... Hope 2008 will be better for you all...

I know it is not easy being layoff, or work hours are going so slow to earn a small paycheck, there are always something...

I would love to stay home and create my own hours to avoid headaches out there on the road to work in the am and the pm traffic. I would love to get snowed in and not to be forced to work or you will get fired...I would love to do my writings all day and take a break for six months....mmmmm, I am dreaming...if that happens, I definifity will retire

Hey! Don't be afraid to start a home business! I have TWO! And I'm DEAF. Not a hearing person! It takes time to trust people, and trust yourself into having a home business. It is NOT for everyone. If you have what it takes, you can do anything! It helps alot to have mentors, family or friends having faith in you. Even better, having faith in the PRODUCT you are working with and that takes you and your business a very long way.

The product of my catering business? Something that everyone LOVES to eat!! You get what you put in. Pick the businesses that you want to do, and for what it can offer you. Don't listen to naysayers! eat! If you have a great product, then the business will just take off for the stars and stay there if you do all the right things as a business owner.

I've been working so hard with my home business for a while now and then a good friend called me up and said "HEY! You gotta hear about this!" I jumped right in! If you find the right business, you will do just that! Good luck!

New Home business system arrived!

Hi, I am sorry you laid off. Many people including deaf and hearing people are laid off. USA Economy is getting down, and gas price is getting higher.....
It is hardest time right now, so people are looking for something to change their lifestyle.

I have the best home business, but it is completely different from traditional system. My friend is earning $47,000 a month!!! I couldn't believe that!!

I am originally from Japan, and it is expanding in Japan recently, appearing on famous magazine and TV, etc....

If you are serious to change your lifestyle , Please email me at mayunakoki@gmail.com .

I would really love to work at home....but I am NOT a salesperson and I don't trust any of these "ads" that are posted all over the internet. I guess Im stuck in my 6 X 8 coffin from 8-5 for the next 20 years.

Don't we all wish we could work at home?

I wouldn't mind a job that has a steady income from home.

I prefer part-time. I like to work part-time at office and home - a flex type. A full-time job really kills my creativity and style. Although the money is good, I'm considering a change in career but not anytime soon.

I've got bills to pay......

Yeah, I agree.

With a part-time job that pays well, you can handle a second part-time job from home.

yep. This "10-6" (or same as 9-5) full-time job is just not doing it for me. Spontaneity and Flexibility is what keeps me on the edge. It's also what makes me good at my work.

There is a warehouse job that I'm possibly considering. It's considered full time, but it's 3 days a week and 12 hours a day. They pay is good. I could work there, and still work from home.

I would like to work on my own at home, but it's not that easy for anyone yet doable for some certain people.

It could create a time-cash leverage for anybody unlike the 9-5 jobs could provide. But one has to make it happen. Some are just better at referring then selling, that includes me. lol

Too many people were prepared (educated) into becoming employees working for somebody or government, not by their own which pose some problems for those end up trying to work on their own because it's much different and sometimes overwhelming.

It's like one trying to undo what one has learned for years (from such common educations)... not only that but by peer pressure alike. Many parents of yours and mine, who had collegiate education, ended up working for others that provided the financial security only, not the financial freedom...

Okay, those parents expect their children to follow the same path they did/do... that way was too common in the industrial age especially yet it is pretty much out nowadays. Many, many industries and some businesses were/are closing and those effected from the current bad economy as well.

So the Internet age comes in yet it's still quite a pioneer; it provides much more opportunity for anybody to work on their own selling, advertising, referring, or such types to leverage time and cash on their own unlike it could in the pre-Internet age. Yet so many people don't know how to do (sell) while some were just too lax in knowledge or just "lazy" to make it happen. Also not only that but more and more scams were created, unfortunately which hold them back from doing it. I think we really need an effective Internet police or sort to drastically reduce the scams and such, obviously... I think Obama is working on that underway (that's good).

Some experts predict that more and more home businesses are growing and growing over the time now but some already exploded yet lot more to come, they said... that I agree. Due to traffic, gas prices, crazy society, and more contribute the reasons that more people are seeking for home businesses that way which I think it will do some good while some won't.

I did some and earned good money yet some did not in the recent past, but I learned more and more what it takes to make things happen. So that certainly helps. I still do seek a way to make it happen on my end as well for others, too.

Like the hb experts said that it's indeed good time for anyone serious to start doing home business ahead of many more people to come in ahead therefore those ones would be ahead of them rather so... true! Yet it is not for everybody for sure, though.

For anybody whoever seriously seek for it, just remember that it takes action and persistence, not by magic and lax or whatever alike. There's lot of money online to make that anybody could seek and work on to earn better money and more time freedom.

Anything is possible... rather mere doable now especially in the near future. It will be interesting to see how things reveal as time goes. Good luck on anyone seeking for it!

Jiro,

Are you implying that you already have a part or flex time job? Or it's just that you're looking for one?

Thanks!

I've already had several flex/part-time job in the past. The job I currently have - it's my first full-time job. It took me a bit while to adjust to that. As much as I would love to have part-time job, I'm not looking for it now. I need $$$$$$$ and more work experience.

Oh, the reason why I asked is cause I might want to look for a flex or part time job myself. And am trying to get some ideas on what they can be. So, what were some of your flex or part time jobs in the past? If you want, you could pm me with that info if you don't want to post them in here.

One way or another, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I do some work through the Internet. It's not much but it pays for about a week of food. Anything helps. So it's definitely possible to work through the Internet. Any sort of computer job can be done through the Internet.

Definitely yes! Anything profitable is making cash flow... whether little or better money. Work on it more and you could make more.

I personally did earn good money two years ago, but I really want to seek for one to continue make money (residual income) online someday.

My mother and sister are doing their professional careers online full-time, and they say that it pays them real well. They love it, too.

Of course, more and more people are doing that nowadays especially in the near future. Not many deaf people are doing that online but are stuck with the rat race though I do know few ones out there who could make much more money doing online business instead of working for somebody.

That's my quote....Still working from home and loving it! My catering business has grown to a point that people are calling us to do parties and events. We had to keep calling around. Now they call us. We are still growing and have a second product to sell. We did very well last weekend with this product.

The friend above? We all jumped in, and didn't like the team leaders and jumped out. I found Ameriplan along the way and decided although it's a good company--not right for me---and jumped back into the old company under a very successful team leader. I have NOT regretted it since then. So anyone who wants to work from home, help others do the same while enjoying awesome/green/economical products, send me a msg!

lol, this thread reeled in MLM people. You have to be lucky or work really hard to make some money with MLM business, and it wont be as consistent. If you want to get into MLM, you'll have to work out of deaf community. Deaf community is way too small for person to be successful with MLM unless they are way on top of chain.

I have made some money from online affiliated marketing, much much easier and more reliable than MLM business. Just start your blog or whatever and slap advertisement. They will pay you by visitors/clicks.


Avoid mlm business at all cost. They are annoying, and their product quality is not good enough to be exclusive. All they care about is building their tree. If you fall in, its their gain and your loss if you didnt succeed.

Working at home isn't that difficult if you put some thoughts into it.

Alongside with my brother, we both own a successful company that tailor professional services to huge law firms and soon we'll be offering services to medical companies as well but that's besides the point.

Anyway, a couple years ago, whenever I'm off work, I'd hop onto my computer and start looking for whichever goods that are selling like pancakes over the internet (Amazon is a good start) then did some R&D and triple-checked to make sure I'll earn profits and started advertising the goods doing the drop-shipping method. This was a long process for me but it's a great way to earn money for the time being.

After doing this for a couple years and with the money saved up from drop-shipping, I decided to copy one of my competitors and invested all the money by buying the goods at wholesale prices and started selling them at retail prices and made even more profit. I'm no longer doing the drop-shipping method as I have my own internet vendors (Amazon & eBay) up and running.

Now, I'm in the process of getting a website up after selling 50+ orders on average daily and it's still growing.

That's not all, I've known a guy who learned how to use Photoshop by reading tutorials/e-books online and a year later, he's doing freelance work which is more than enough to pay for rent and living expenses. (He's hearing BTW but told me that he mostly communicates through e-mails.)

Long story short, use your head and put some effort into it and you can easily make money at home.
