Charlotte,



I love what I do!!!  I make really great income for my time and have complete flexibilty.  I also get to help other women feel good about themselves and change their financial situations.  My company's values are to put God 1st, Family 2nd, and Career 3rd. 



 



I never thought I would enjoy being a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant, especially since I had a college degree, no sales experience, and no cosmetic experience.  When I started with MK my husband was in Dental School, I had a 4 month old baby, and worked in research 50-60 hours a week.  Once I had my second son I decided to take them out of daycare, quit my job and become a SAHM/ Work from Home Mom.  I had no problem replacing my income and even earned a FREE CAR! 



 



I am expecting my third baby boy any day now.  My other two boys are age 3.5 and 2.  Mary Kay is great because even when I am at home with my new baby the reorders will continue to come in and so will my commission checks.



 



Please check out my website or call me anytime: www.marykay.com/kellyfallert



 



If you already have a MK Consultant give her a call and she would also be glad to talk with you.



 



Best Regards,



 



Kelly

Hi Charlotte!



I know there are so many options out there for working from home.  However, most of those options involve working for a company...not working for yourself.  If you are looking for something that is purely YOUR business where you can work at your own pace, your own hours, etc, have you ever thought about becoming an internet marketer?  No, you don't need to be a computer whiz or know everything about technical design to become one.  In case you aren't familiar with it, here's a high level overview:



1. As an Internet marketer it is your job to send people (create traffic) to company websites.



2. When those people make purchases you are paid from the company who owns the product. There are literally 100,000's of companies online who are willing to pay you up to 90% of the entire product sale price just for sending people to their site.



3.  Each pay period you will receive a check in the mail that you take to your bank and deposit (or cash). Some companies will pay you directly to your Paypal account, or even directly to your bank account via wire transfer.



Making money on the Internet is not a get rich overnight scheme. If it were that easy everyone would be doing it!  So, what it comes down to is you have to learn the proper internet marketing techniques in order to succeed. If you are willing to put in the time to learn, this can be a VERY profitable business.  I did ALOT of searches on this topic and finally found a website that can teach you the techniques you need.  It's called Wealthy Affiliate.  They give you step by step instruction on how to get started as well as have continuous online support through forums, email etc. You have to sign up as a member of the site, and there is small monthly fee to continue your membership.  HOWEVER, because they provide so much for you on the site for free, such as free web hosting, a free web site builder, etc, that is really the only amount you have to pay...you won't need to come up with "start-up money" for your business.



Here's a link for you to take a look at it:

Hopefully this information helps you or at the very least, gave you another idea to look into.  Let me know if you have any questions and good luck! :)

I am doing some business expansion and looking for some motivated people that want to supplement or replace their income. The responsibility would include establishing consumer accounts for a privately held $878 Million, Inc. 500 Consumer Goods Corporation. We have some part-time positions paying around $55K and more significant position paying $100K+. All of the positions are home based and could include a car allowance in the amount of $400-$1000 per month. In addition, the income earned with the company is residual based - which means it is ongoing long after the initial work is completed!



Based on your inquiry, would it be safe to assume that a company that allows you to create a stable income stream with a RECESSION PROOF operation be of interest to you? As you know, the bottom is falling out of the economy and people need something secure. Guess what? I have the perfect business!!!



If you are willing to make some sacrifice and put in a little hard work - WE CAN change your financial future. I am excited about all that we can do together. Our first steps would be to connect. Please provide me with the three best times to reach you so I can provide you with all the information you need to make a LIFE CHANGING DECISION.



I can be reached at tpickens.ceo@live.com or visit http://stayinhomeandlovinit.com/tiffanie... and complete my contact page

Hi Charlotte,



I don't know if you've found what you are looking for yet. I am a Director with The Pampered Chef. With direct sales companies like The Pampered Chef - you get the benefit of setting your own hours. You decide when you want to earn some extra - or to spend more time with the family. It is all up to you.

There are many different choices out there. You need to look carefully into what is right for you. Be careful on this site and in others. You don't want to sign up for something because THEY want you to. It has to be something what YOU want and what is truly best for you.

What do you enjoy doing? Is there a direct sales company out there that you particularly enjoy their products? Do they have a good warranty? Keep up with technology and trends? What kind of compensation to they offer? What do you get paid and how much do you have to work? Some companies require an inventory. I find it better not to have to worry about that. I prefer to have the products shipped directly to the company. I didn't want to mess with having to reinvest all my money into my business to build up inventory and always worry about having things on hand.

With the economy the way that it is - it is important to look at the necessity. Try to pick something that isn't as much of a luxury. Think about what it is that you can offer the consumer. It should be something you believe in.

Make sure you sign under a leader who will back you and be supportive. It is important that they should match your efforts with their time and attention. Your success should be their priority and not as much theirs.

A short promo on The Pampered Chef is that we earn an average of $100+ per kitchen show. We do hands on demos now so you don't have to stand up in front of people and talk for an hour. Our parties are fun and educational. We recently launched our new economy cooking recipes. In this day and age we're all looking for quick, easy, cheap recipes. Our recipes take around 29 minutes or less and are only about $2 or less a serving! I love being able to teach people how to save time and money. Our products have great guarantee's and are a true investment. New products coming out all the time. Plus when everyone is getting laid off - we all just got raises with our brand new career plan that no one can match! Even the opportunity to earn a car!! I'd love to tell you more if you're interested. Please email me at donatskitchen@gmail.com. I'll answer any questions that you'd like to help you with making the best decision for you to stay at home with your kiddos.

Good luck!

Rachel

I know it is hard to decipher the real genuine opportunities from the hundreds of scams out there. Trust me I have tried many and no they have not worked! I have been married for 11 years now my husband and I are in our early 30's and we have three girls..ages 10, 7, and 4. Not to long ago, we came across an opportunity of a lifetime and are so thankful that we enjoy helping others learn about it too. For us this is going to be a financially stability which is very important especially with today's economy. This opportunity comes from a company that has been around for 50years, is debt free, and sold over $2 billion worth of products last year. Also this company is not just national but global too! It believes word of mouth is the best form of advertising. If you can talk to people, you can do this. I will gladly give you all the details so you have a better understanding..no strings attached. Just email me at hunterjaylyn@yahoo.com and let me give you the chance to see this wonderful opportunity of a lifetime!

Hi, my name is Heather and I am a mother of two (7 and 3). I sell Avon and Tupperware from home and I have had great success with both. If start-up money is an issue, Avon is a better choice - it's only $10 to start! Tupperware is more money and quicker but $79 to start. If you want more information, you can e-mail me at hdrayton07@optonline or visit either of my websites.
