    As a slightly longer term option - I work for The Body Shop at Home (TBSAH). It's a direct sales company and earnings are what you make of them really. you earn 25% commission on what you sell and you earn a percentage on sales of those in your team (that you recruited).

    There are plenty of direct sales companies out there. I love TBSAH but my advise would be to research the available companies, what they cost to start up and what the earnings are. Then choose something you can be passionate about, there is no point in trying to sell a product that you don't like because you won't do well at it.

    Totally agree! To do well working for a direct sales company, you need to be passionate about the product!!

    I work for Usborne Books At Home and really love it! You start off earning 24% commission which rises as you go up the ladder.

    I also use lots of different survey sites and one of the best that I've found is globaltestmarket.

    Hi folks

    It would be helpful if you could limit discussion on the thread - then people can easily read through to find the reviews/lists of companies.

    Also can the OP add to the first post that it is not acceptable for people to promote sites/opportunities in their own interest - including the network marketing schemes and requests to "PM for further information".
    The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :cool:
  • I also do party plan and work for a fab company called PartyLite - there are lots of reasons why I love working for this company -I personally used to buy the products so love them, costs nothing to join - get paid weekly with no problems, lots of incentives including 5* holidays, and everyone helps each other real feel good company to work for, in this day and age where everyone is worrying about their jobs its ideal way of working for yourself. I also work f/t as an Accountant and never ever look forward to going to work and compnany I work for are very depressing at the moment so loving my other job.
    I get paid to party!:rotfl:
  • I always cringe when I think of these on-line money making websites. The best way to earn money on the internet is to work hard and get your own business started selling other peoples products or your own. It's the only way to make real money, although I'd probably guess a lot harder too. I really couldn't be bothered sitting for 6 hours straight only to earn a few pound at the end of it.:wink:
