Working from home

Savannah31

I'm a housewife, and have also been ill with panic disorder and agoraphobia after I was attacked last year. I feel terrible that I can't go out to work now and really want to contribute.

Any ideas of what I could do from home to earn a little extra money? I have a car if I needed to deliver.

Thank you.

Do you have any skills that you can use?

I have worked as a receptionist/admin in the past and health care as a carer. I'm not sure what I could do from home really as I doubt I can use my skills from previous employment.

I saw an ad for Yodel recently looking for couriers

I have worked from home for over 5 years as I have similar issues and have found all my jobs on MSE and the Sureboom forum

Some of these courier jobs have a terrible reputation, there was a programme on Tv only a few days ago were they followed a Amazon delivery driver around for the day and he was working 12/14 hr days to complete his run, but paid per day, not at an hourly rate.


Update,
This is a link to the thread here on Mse talking about the Dispatches Tv programme

Sorry for his question but what kind of admin? You mean like support of a hotel system for reservations?

Hi Savannah,

I have my own business as a distributor for company. It works in a similar way to Avon, but its not just about cosmetics - I sell a whole range of other things too, many of which i was using myself anyway. I drop catalogues and collect orders that way but you can do it purely online if that's how you'd like to operate, as I know that's what other distributors do, e.g. by advertising on social media etc. Its not a get rich quick scheme and takes hard work, but personally I really enjoy it so it doesn't feel too much like 'work'. It costs £3.50 per month and with that you get your own web address so people can buy online, and access to training resources. There is a joining fee payable after 6 months if you like it, or not if you don't!

There are a few similar companies out there, some better than others. The ones that 'encourage' you to buy lots of stock and ask you to meet minimum targets just to stay as a distributor are best avoided though!
