    Just be cautious and use common sense. NO.. you can't make $1000-$1500 a month stuffing envelopes after you purchase the "how too". There are million scams out there and as my grand-father told me... "there's an arse for every seat".

    Again.. be cautious and ask yourself, "is it too good to the true". If the answer is yes it probably is just that.

    Good luck...

      Here's an LA Times article about two women who started a handbag business in their homes. Their product is meant to be a bag with style but versatile enough for the modern working/soccer mom.

      If nothing else, perhaps it will offer a little inspiration!

        My old neighbor was a medical transcriber. She bought a laptop and worked from home and made really good money. I am not sure how or where she got started but if you can type fast it might be worth a look see. If I remember correctly she got paid by the amount of lines she typed.

          I'd like to second the Etsy.com effort if you find you have a crafty sense to you and some decent enough ideas. My wife does this and does pretty well. I run an ecommerce website for her too (which was quite easy to setup) so she can setup internet orders. She sold on ebay first and does about 80% on etsy now and 20% on ebay.

              Dear Mrs. Bottlewasher (aka Adele),

              There are a couple of things you could do. Start with Jetblue, which employs stay-at-home moms for customer service and reservations. Check Fortune.com and other business press web sites to see whether there are stories about similar kinds of customer services jobs. They're often featured under the headings management and life. I just read a story about Principal Mutual insurance in Wisconsin and they might have jobs like the one you're looking for. Often the most important qualification is how personable you are rather than any specific "hard" skills.

              I know it sounds too good to be true, but today you can do many office jobs from just about anywhere. There are some advantages from working in an office and some disadvantages, but technology and low communications costs make possible things that we could not imagine when I was a wee lad.
