Working from home - any legit opportunities ?

Hi all,

Having just been made redundant from her 1 day a week 'admin' job, the OH is now looking at potential working from home opportunities. She was thinking of the sort of "remote secretary" type stuff. Is there much of a market for this ?

We have 2 kids; the eldest is in the first year of infant school, the youngest goes to nursery 3 mornings a week. So at the moment, the OH is limited to about 9 hours a week - which can't be done in one lump - until our son gets to primary school age (still 2 years away).

She has access to her own car so maybe working as the local drop for a courier ?

Anyone got any suggestions ?

Regards,

Adam Brunt

    Hiya there is customer service evening work, there are threads on here for Teletech, Arise and contract exchange. I am currently going through my training for Arise but you have to do min 15 hours a week for all of them which includes some time at the weekend but it's from home.

  • I have two income streams. One is for health and beauty products, no start up cost great products, where if you want you can make a great retail profit take a look at https://www.lhninternational.com/codybiz. The other is to save people money on their utilities, no selling just passing on info. You can even save money on your bills by signing up as a customer and referring other people.Imagine the more people you refer the lesser you pay on your utility bills.. What better time to get into this business. Need any more info, get back to me.
