fishnbuddy, have you looked into things like proof reading for publishers (someone mentioned that one I forget where now) and also I believe there are doctors and others who look for people to do computer records etc for them. not sure if any qualifications needed. there is so much one can do online nowdays if computer work is doable.
this is a really good topic, as many here need a way to either supplement income or earn a living while being challenged with illness or disability. For us, starting to sell the personal "bric a brac" and the antiques and collectibles we ourselves inherited or enjoyed collecting along the way, has been the way to at least get by since my husband and youngest son had major health changes impact their lives late 90s. It would be a real blessing if we too could find a few more things to add in and have a bit left over instead of month to monthing it the way our kind of retail sales are in this current economy

This all has my entrepreneurial brain in high gear. Maybe once I have a Dx I'll start a work at home agency for all of us.

I was surfing the Net today, and found "Get Paid for Participating in Online Surveys". Has anyone ever tried this?

Not yet, but I am giving it very serious thought.

I just thought of something...
getting MicroSoft certified would/can help with home business. I have tech specialist certification (but I haven't updated it in recent years ) (used to be able to do it over the internet a few years ago). now you have to take it at a center but you can study all of it at home and take a practice test at home. Once you get certified, you can fix and trouble shoot most of the basic stuff and then just go to MS and ask for questions that you don't know. That's how I got started with the home business then I took some CAD classes and ended up doing CAD. with the certification, you are allowed to do remote assistance so you can trouble shoot others puter from your home if the clients let you. Anyways, that's enchiladas down the road. The trick is to NOT let the certification scare you. I knew very little about it 6 almost 7 years ago. I could do some DOS but my main puter was MAC. yes, it took countless hours of frustrations to learn things... BUT....once you've learn it, it can become advantageous to you if you like to have some sort of home business...pick up their puters and bring it to your house, or go to their house and I usually charge more for that. Or do it remote. If you are comfortable, you can have them drop it off at your house. I prefer not to do that though. One of my partners at the time when we started this together, he would have people meet him at the nearby coffee shop. That worked pretty well. anyways, just a thought... I have beent weaning myself from the puter trouble shooting cause my cad business have taken off. And there is just too much new carp to learn on a daily basis about new puters. I haven't even really try to learn Vista yet... I've kept some of my loyal customers when it comes to PC's but I don't take on new clients anymore. I might throw some your way if you guys like to do remote assistance. LOL |

is it possible to be a vetrinary clinic medical coder? i think coding would be easy for me and they offer it at my school, so I could get a certification in that and do that as work while im working on my vet tech certification.
does this sound logical?

There are some transcription agencies that I did some genuine work with but you never know when they're going to call with a job and you will end up working long hours to meet each deadline. Hope that helps. |

Yes thank you Dizzie Lizzy, it did help. Surveys no longer sound like what I'm looking for. We definitely need income and not just gifts. I appreciate you posting the information, but I'm afraid it's back to the drawing board for me.
