I recently lost my job about a month ago and now I'm receing unemployement but it's just not cutting it. The bills aren't getting paid on time and it's causing a lot of stress in our family. I'm looking for a business opportunity that can help me and my family. We don't have any money for a "start up kit" and I've done that whole "sales company" stuff selling Tastefully Simple and it just didn't work for me. Does anyone have a REAL company that I can benefit from? Please help!

I am an independent associate for Prepaid Legal Services Inc a company that has been around since 1972 went public on the NYSE in 1976 and just got bought by a huge wall street firm- MidOcean Partners for 650 million June 30, 2011, the company is about to get commercials ect towards the branding up until now the company did 500+million per year with no advertising just word of mouth now with the new owners it is about to explode! It is something everyone needs, everyone can afford, but not everyone has! Only 1.5 million people currently have it so about 3% of Americans as opposed to 80% in Europe. you can listen to a brief overview about 8 minutes at 800-394-6919 and if you would like more information please contact me at jamesandmonique33@yahoo.com I would love to share with you how this company has changed my life!

I have a home based (e-commerce) business that I absolutely LOVE and it allows me to be at home with the children! I work my hours around my children and their schedules, get paid what I am worth, and the business is growing very strong in this economy!

Attached is a short video which gives an overview on the business.

At the end, it will ask for your email address…that just comes back to me so that I know when someone new watches the video – and I can follow up with them. (The email address is not sold and doesn’t go to anyone else.)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey there Erica I know you must be really stressed with everything that has happened I am so sorry that that has happened to you. I am a Marine wife and mother of 2 and we had gotten ourselves in some debt and I really needed to bring in a income. Well I found a home based business opportunity that didn't have me selling products or doing parties ( That is something I just didn't want to do) All I do is set up memberships for families to shop for things they buy like laundry detergent, tooth paste, shampoo etc. for less it is fun and rewarding. The only start up type thing you will have is to simply switch stores and save money on things you already buy just a better, safer all natural brand. If this sounds like something you may like I would love for you to go to my website www.internetceomoms.com/brownamy and click get the details to see a short video and then get all the info if you are still interested. Good luck in finding the right option for you and your family I hope I can help in some way :)

I read your story (and, I'm sure the story of thousands of others)...and I hope that you've found your new career. If not, can I offer some advise?
If you are looking to work from home...I think there are 2 main things to ask yourself.
Do I want to work for myself? Or do I want to ahve a boss and simply work feom home? So, ultimately, the ral question is...do you want to start a new job for personal security and financial freedom and use this obstacle as a opportunity for yourself and your family or do you want to focus on paying the bills (both of which are good and right things to do).
If the answer is....I want to build a new life!!! Then I strongly encourage you to look into the BUSINESSES of all of the home-based/network marketing businesses. (Cause,network marketing is what we all do...and what women do best!!!)
Do you want to be completely on your own? Or join a group for support and ideas?
Do you want to like the product (even if the product is selling your advise) or do you want to be passionate about the cause?
Unless you're thinking about selling cars...all of us in home-based businesses sell something...but is the sale the end...or is there more (changing lives, enriching our communities, offering hope)?
Just some thoughts...because right now...in your hands, if you're willing, you have an amazing opportunity to CREATE a new and fabulous life!!

Hi Erica,

I work with Internet CEO Moms. We are a unique group of moms working right from home. Unlike most home businesses we don't do the parties, stock inventory or distribute anything. There is no large investment or spending money you don't have on things you don't need! This made more sense to me than anything else I had come across.

Visit:

www.4ThisFamily.com

Internet CEO Moms have been helping moms work from home since 1999! I'd love to share with you how we are working from home and how we can help you do the same thing!

All my best,

Hi Erica,
I was in a similar situation 2 years ago. I always wanted to work from home since my daughter was born and looked but didn't find what I wanted to do. She's 8 now and my son is 6 along with my step son who's 22 in college. So while I was still unemployed, I was introduced to a company by one of the moms from preschool. I thank her almost everyday for introducing me to this company. It is everything I was looking for and more! Not only was I able to start my own business, but I save money shopping for my everyday household items and when you're on unemployment every dollar saved helps out. And there is absolutely no risk with this company. I've tried Tupperware and thought about selling Arbonne, but those are items people don't use every day and buy every month. My business allows me to earn residual income to last a lifetime. Now that's something I never dreamed of when I was looking to stay home. We have benefited so much and we love to share it with others. This company truly changed our lives. Visit my website for more information and to send me your contact information. I know you're going to love it. www.SuccessWAHU.com

Hi Erica,
I am sorry to hear about your job loss. My family and I have not been affected by the down economy as some and I am so thankful for that. I recently started a work at home business that I am happy to say will soon allow me to quit my 8-5. I understand what you are saying about not having the "start up kit" money. I had looked into selling Mary Kay and I just didn't have the money to buy the start up kit and carry an inventory. I have also tried Creative Memories in the past and I ended up with a lot of debt. The company I am working for now is great, it is the exact opposite of what i have tried in the past. If you would like to learn more about it visit my website at www.moms4netprofit.com/only4u. On my website you can fill out your contact information and that will give us an opportunity to chat and find out if this could work for you! Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks Erica!

Hi Erica,

I understand the stress you are under right now. I think a lot of folks are in the same boat. I think more than anything it is important for you to find something that you can have a passion for because if you love the product then it will sell itself. Most companies have a start up fee, but look at it in the big picture. If you were to go out an start a business on your own you would have HUGE start up cost. That is the great thing about being apart of a direct sales company. You are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. The corporation takes the BIG risk and you become part of a team that has been doing it for awhile and can tell you what works and what doesn't work. When I looked at opening a retail wine store it was going to cost me $250,000 and over 40 hours of my time per week. With WineShop At Home I was able to get into the wine business for only $99...no inventory, no bricks and mortar to pay for and I have lots of time for my family. For me this was the perfect fit. I hope you find your perfect fit as well. If you would like to know more about WineShop send me an email.

Hi Erica. If you are looking at any business opportunity it is never free. There is always a start up cost, but well worth it. Most business opportunities are all about the right timing and the right product. I just recently started my own business and I love it. If you are interested in seeing what I do, send me a message with your email address and I will get the information to you. It doesn't hurt to check out all possibilities. I'm glad I did.

Hi Erica! I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your job...I can imagine the stress that has placed on your life. You seem super motivated and ready to get back in the game, so that is great news! I just wanted to share my story with you. The first week of August, I became an Advisor with lia sophia jewelry. I have never done anything like this before in my life & actually have a little fear about speaking in public. Anyway, i'm a stay at home mom and I just wanted to make a little extra money of my own...so that was my motivation to give it a try. Since i started, I'm only working one show a week (my choice) and have made at least an extra $1000 a month. It is super fun, nothing about it feels like work, and it sells itself. You don't have to convince the women to buy...they love the jewelry. there is a start up kit for $149, but it really does give you everything you need to be in business. Also, lia sophia has the #1 compensation plan of ANY direct selling company- it is a FACT! your 1st 15 weeks in business they give you great bonuses for reaching very achievable goals & i personally earned $750 in free jewelry to add to my samples in only 6 weeks. if you would like any more info or have any questions, please let me know. you can check out my website to learn more about the company www.liasophia.com/ashleysavela Good luck to you and i hope to hear from you:) Ashley
