Learn this from my own experience... Any site that asks you for membership money before they let you work at home, is scam... I've lost lots of money to a site that offers translators jobs last year...

How about baking cookies at home and sell them...? Or recycle items like newspapers, aluminium cans and glasses...? Or turn your lawn/garage into a mini dobby service where when you help anyone wash their clothes they will pay you...? My neighbour does this and you'll be surprised at how many people being too busy to wash their laundries...

As if that brings the stacks 

Become a Nancy Botwin and add some herbs to your baked goods... that'll generate a nice little cashflow. The other housewives in the hood will be breaking your door down for some.

Thanks for the ideas gals   I do love brownies, but I don't think herb brownies are the best choice for a home business lol..

You can try writing. My mom made about $100 a week writing articles for a website. It's very time consuming but if you're already at home all the time it's very easy.
(I asked my mom and she doesn't remember what the website was called, I'm sorry. I'll post if she remembers)

I would be VERY wary of taking a job at a place that a) is online-based or b) asks for money at start-up. Do your research and see if there are reviews of its legitimacy.

I agree- if you are crafty, something like etsy offers you a great way to do something you enjoy, spend time during the day, and make some money! It may not be a ton though. If you are in a warm area with a farmer's market, you might consider either gardening or selling baked goods (you may need a permit for that, not sure).

You could always take a couple courses at the community college in child-rearing/first Aid, and work as a qualified babysitter for those busy parents with young children.

Lastly-- are you near a university or large school district? You may be able to find work as a) a paper/resume editor or b) a language tutor for students and young adults who are English language learners, or students with writing difficulties.

What about selling Avon/Mark Kate products?
