My wife is a teacher and has her summers off. We were thinking about finding something part time she could do during the summers to make some extra cash from home when the kids are out of school.

The internet is full of Home Based data entry, survey, etc. scams, but I'm sure there are some that are legit. I was curious if any of you have had any experience or are currently using any of the home based offerings successfully?

You can PM me if you don't want to place it for everyone to see. Thanks, Randy

All I can tell you is to stay away from secret/mystery shopping. The programs are rarely worth the effort one puts into them--they certainly don't make you any money.

I speak from having worked for such a company (in an internal position) for a couple of years in college.

Randy, a couple of my wifes friends seem to be doing pretty well selling the Pampered Chef and Tastefully Simple products, every time my wife goes to or hosts a party she manages to spend over $150.00, and it appears that the women selling the products are doing some excellent business.

Thanks guys, I should have been more specific. I would be talking about something computer based. She has been involved in hosting parties for Pampered Chef, Jewelry Parties, etc. We have run across adds for computer type entry, marketing, webbased business, etc.

Without looking at any of them, they still sound kind of scammy to me.

Any thought of starting her own business? I know my wife (also a teacher) and I have thought about this very subject many times ourselves and have never really come up with any solid ideas that could be easily implemented. My is a pretty good graphical artist and we have thought about something along those lines but then you have to do sales to get the businesses in and then there is bookkeeping and more headaches. We have also thought of summer tutoring but that's not much of a change form the rest of the year.

Good Luck.

She does tutor on the side during the school year and makes like $30/hr. I know she could easily get some kids for the summer.

Tutoring is what I was going to recommend also. I have a friend who is doing very well in a fairly new tutoring business!

Sounds like she can do web-based tutoring.

Another thing to look into is doing medical transcription work for dentists/doctors. I know a few people that do that at home since they had kids (although they wored in doctors' offices previously)
