well you have your answer right there…daycare

but of course it can’t be legal since you don’t have a state license..my girlfriends mom does this and she takes care of about 5 kids all day…$7hr. for 8hrs a day..that’s $280 a day..not bad, but again that might be hard since you have no state license and would have to do everything on the low key.

you can also sell on ebay..owning a business myself, most of the money goes to store rent, lights, equipment, so ebay is way cheaper and more better for a say at home mom…anything you can think of, from used toys, baby clothes, key chains, home made stuff, and since your buying stuff at wholesale you can get clothes for your baby even cheaper..goodluck and hoped I helped

when there’s a will there’s a way

How about doing ironing at $2.50 a shirt. You may have some neighbors that would love the extra help. Might be just enough income to help with no cash outlay.

There are some really good home based business’s out there. Maybe chose one that you could be passionate about. Something you really enjoy or something you have bought from that doesn’t cost much or that you could earn your money back very quickly. I had tried a lot of different companies and really had never made much money with any of them, then I found a company that had a product that just sold itself and I really got excited about and it took off almost by itself. So look for something that can do that for you. Think about what makes you happy or what excites you when you receive it from someone or you buy it yourself, then look for companies that have that and look at their pay plan and see if you think it will pay you back quickly so your money isn’t tied up for very long. Wish you the best of luck in your search.

A good industry if you find the product/service that you love is network marketing. However, I believe a person should be educated on how the industry works before they get involved. Here are some links with valuable information:

My friend who was a working mum started her own home business as a Personal Assistant – if you like administrative work, this has been really great for her and her family. A lot of companies are outsourcing to people like her these days (instead of hiring staff in their office), so it’s really taken off. She only started it about two years ago, but since it’s done so well she’s started teaching other people how to do it (a lot of mums!). I don’t know where you’re based, but she does classes in London, or you can go to her website to see what she does and how she got it all going, get loads of free info or get training materials, etc. Hope this helps!

Like you, I needed to work and wanted to work from home. I have a law degree, but using that in a home business capacity still wasn’t family-friendly. I am SO grateful someone told me about Social Marketing, one of the most promising home-based business options. Social Marketing is a business model that leverages your social networks to make everyone’s life better and rewards you for doing so. It allows you to make a living by helping others rather than taking from others. And it allows you to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Social Marketing is not for everybody, BUT if you have an entrepreneurial spirit, associate with the right company, and are willing to do the work, the payout potential is unbeatable.

The best home business that you can be sure is not a scam is one that you start yourself. It will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.

The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.

Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:

2. List how others would benefit from what you do best
3. Find out how to give people what they want

6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success
9. Make low cost mistakes
10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it

He then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:
