I already have a full time job, but I would love to moonlight with a side "hustle" job from home as well. I am still in search for one. But sadly, nothing has piqued my interest. I have a relative who works for AT&T from home (doing customer service work). She finds it to be so much more convenient (for obvious reasons). I may ask her for some references/advice. :-)

I work from home creating and hosting websites for businesses. I am down to just a few customers to cover the cost of my own web hosting, but it still works for me. Then I use Fusioncash to maintain a PayPal fund to pay a subscription for a service I use myself and get referrals for. It's just starting to grow into my dream of getting paid for doing nearly nothing, so I can enjoy my retirement more.

Customer service and marketing are by far the main job for work from home.  Once you feel you might be interested in a particular company, I would say use your computer/phone to do some in-depth research on the company.  If it is a well-known company, and I've seen a few that are, then you don't have to be as concerned.  Make a list of questions and be sure to clarify specifics.

I shy away from home jobs where I have to speak to customers on the phone for this very reason; all the complaining and disrespect can start to take a toll not only on your physical energy but also vibrational level.  But I'm sure with experience you'll learn to get use to it.  Good luck!

I had a heart attack a year ago at age 32, so I understand.  I hope you're healthy now :)

Yeah.  I'm making great supplemental income with a work at home job.  And there is definitely the ability to turn it into full time income because I am building residual income.  I never thought I would get into network marketing but after a heart attack three years ago, at age 28, I was doing terrible afterwards and I found a whole food supplement that literally gave me my life back.  I share it with others and it has done tremendous things for a ton of people that I know.  I'm loving it.

I have joined quite a few businesses online, still haven't made any money, but I will prevail.

I guess if I could find the right opportunity, but so many of the work at home jobs seem to be a scam and I know I would not be a good fit for anything in customer service! I am retired so I just stick with my substitute teaching and of course love doing fusion cash as every little bit helps. I think if you can find something that actually works for you and you enjoy then I say go for it; great when you can kind of set your own hours.

My wife is an unclassified sub for the school and makes about a grand a month, so that is certainly better than most jobs where you can take off any time with no hassle.

Subbing is not a bad gig old buddy. Hope all is working out for the both of you. So far this gig for me is not too bad. An extra $80-100 bucks a week and that's putting in minimal hours per week. I could always do more if I wanted but for now it's sufficient. :)

The opportunity to make decent money online is there for those that are truly entrepreneurial. Those who aren't entrepreneurial usually work for someone who is.  ;)
