Home-based jobs?

skintchick

I've been made redundant and although I am jobhunting I have the added complication that I am pregnant and probably not going to get offered any of the positions once they see me!

I already have a job writing for a local magazine which earns me £100 a month, so that will mean I can't claim JSA, therefore I'm looking to do some more work from home to supplement my writing money to at least bring me up to the level of JSA I'd get which would be £60.50 a week and therefore £240 a month.

I'll do anything pretty much, but not virtual escorting or sex lines (my baby is listening!) and nothing that involves me paying out in advance as I'm rather suspicious of that that sort of thing.

Has anyone got any ideas? I'm not lookinig to necessarily make that much money, but enough to make OH feel I'm not totally living off him.

Thanks for any ideas!

Congratulations. It only seem like yesterday that you were asking about sahw and trying for a baby.
As for home working, well all I can think at the moment is an ironing service.

If you saw my ironing you'd know why that made me laugh! I'm RUBBISH! OH does his own.

I'm a trained journalist - it's not really something just anyone can do to be honest, not for proper consumer mags anyway.

You dont like idea about sex lines....what about text line - baby wouldnt hear that. Its a good earner. Or theres Teleteach which is a home based call centre (I think!) and data entry - there is a thread on that one somewhere. Oh and Congrats!! xx

I know someone who may be looking for unique content articles for web sites, you can pm for more details. Although the pay may not be that great.

I am a Christian and don;t want to do anything like sex lines as I consider them immoral, no offence to anyone who does them but they are not for me.

Data entry sounds my kind of thing though.

Fair enough. Yeah search for teleteach on google and the thread on here. They pay £6.00 p/hour I can tell you that much.

Also maybe you could look into the make £10 a day challenge (selling things, reviews, daily clicks, etc) thats a thread on here about that also. £10 a day doesnt sound a lot but thats £310 a month (most months anyway!) I keep meaning to start it myself but im being lazy!

Good luck hun xx

have you thought about doing party plan?
easily fitted around the kids....

Party plan is definitely flexible and also fun - as long as you have passion for the product . I sell Usborne Books which fits in really well with my littl'uns. I've dropped you a pm - hope you don't mind!
