How can I work from home with little or no cost?

I am a single pregnant mother with no job. I am 7 months pregnant and I got laid off when I was 4 months pregnant. I am getting unemployment but it just isnt enough even with child support. I was looking to work online with no risk or if someone has actually work from home and has gotten some real money. I would love to be able to stay at home with the baby and still make money or afford to send the kids to daycare while I work at home or something. If someone has had experience in this field and it has been a success for them PLEASE let me know. I'm also trying to go back to school.

    The only real way to work from home and guarantee some actual money without having to fork over "starting costs" is to work as a professional of some kind. For instance, medical billing and coding can be done from home. Many technology jobs can be done from home. You'd be working for an actual local company, but just able to do your work from home rather than a desk in their office. You'd need a college education for that. So my recommendation is to take advantage of this time and go back to school. There are plenty of online courses that you could look into.

    Well, let me start off by giving you a QUICK brief of why I work from home and how I make it happen. I am a mother of 2 (and another on the way!). About 3 years ago, I searched and searched and SEARCHED for a "work from home" job that was not a scam. I got burned, two times, and I learned my lesson. I was very skeptical and almost stopped looking. Then, someone on Yahoo answers contacted me and gave me info about becoming a Passion Party Consultant. MOST women know about Passion Parties, but just in case you are unfamiliar with it, I will give you my website and it is a "clean" site and will only give you general information about the business. I can give you the rest. But in a nutshell, I make 40% commission on party sales. The products sell themselves, so I don't have to do any selling (good thing cause I'm a TERRIBLE salesperson lol). I work very very part time, about 14 hours a week, and make around $1500 a month. Could make more, could make less, it's just about how much I choose NOT to work. I have a family at home so I only want to work as little as possible. A lot of women on my team make 30-40k a year working about 25-30 hours a week. It's all about how much time you want to put into it. If you want more info, let me know and I will contact you. Don't worry, I'm not pushy, just COMPLETELY believe in this business! Here is my website, you can find a lot of info on there and also there is a link to contact me on it. Hope to talk with you! Oh, and you HAVE to be at least 18 years of age to become a consultant and must live in the US or Canada

    I too am a single mother and after a few months of having my baby in daycare I knew it just wasn't for us. It seemed like I never saw him because I had to work so many hours just to pay the daycare bill. Now I work from home. I don't earn thousands a day or anything, but we get by just fine and enjoy all of the time together. One of the best options, in my opinion, is a virtual call center. You can often find companies that pay per hour and offer benefits and paid training. Of course, this may not be possible with a newborn; unless of course you are willing to put your baby in daycare or hire a baby sitter. Just remember-a job should pay you! Never give out any bank or credit card information. And if in doubt check out the BBB or ripoffreport.com. There are plenty of other options too, check out www.athomeopps.com and good luck with the baby and the job search.

    The only thing I have seen is AVON....I dont know if they have that in the USA but google it and see. You could try making and selling tings on Etsy...have a look at that site http://www.etsy.com/ Or look at babysitting other babies in the daytime? Go to your local job centre and ask for advice.
