Does anyone here work from home and make lots of $$$$?
Just wondering if there is any good online business out there. And if you are working from home and making good money. My work is threating layoffs if our #'s dont go up...sick of making my boss richer.

Re: Does anyone here work from home and make lots of $$$$?
Yes, and there are upsides and downsides. You do not get insurance for one. (You have to pay for it.) Also you start out working ridiculous hours to get it to where it practically runs itself and makes a profit you can live on comfortably.

Also your definition of comfortable needs to change. You aren't going to be rolling in the cash unless you hire employees and build a company. You do eventually make enough to pay bills and go on occasional shopping trips. But depending on your business you might end up packing boxes until 11:00 at night. However you do get more time to faff about during the day. More breaks, etc.

Pretty much all I do is receive goods, fill orders, and ship them out. All day, every day. I get a lot of GLP breaks though. I can do it in my PJs if I so choose. I can also watch shows and listen to music as loud as I want while I do it.

All in all, being your own boss and working from home comes with pros and cons. It's up to you if it's worth it.

I know people who work from home and all they do is buy stuff in bulk and then sell it online. You can find great deals when buying in bulk. I know people who ship out hundreds of items per day. Although its good for a while, it does get old after a while. I myself prefer working around co workers in a fun environment.

Re: Does anyone here work from home and make lots of $$$$?
Yep. I raise litigation capital for a network of law firms milking big pharmaceutical injury claims.

We are making absurd money and anybody can invest with a little or a lot.

Finding this was dumb luck on my part as my best friend's brother became an attorney and figured out this hack :P

Only downside, is that occasionally I have to put on a suit and go meet some millionaire downtown.

I started back in 2000 as a way to make some extra cash to supplement my SSDI as I was disabled but not mentally well enough to do full time work. I started out with books and book kits and it gradually evolved into organic gift baskets somehow. I'm not exactly sure when or how it happened, it just seemed to be what sold best.

Now I pay into SSDI and do this full time.

Again, they were overstocks. I had some money saved up so I bought a bunch of wellness books and started selling them. They sold slowly, but I noticed the wellness book kits like tea kits and the ones with little bonsai trees and such sold a lot quicker and moved onto them. That started the gradual shift to organic supplies.

I did that for a few years and was also a die hard sweeper, I won lots and lots of stuff that I used to sell on-line.

I used to specialize in hard to get Barbies, I remember when the the first Harley Barbies came out they were hard to find and you could sell them at a huge profit.

Wanted to add...you can go to the United Postal Service's website and they will ship you free boxes..you can check it out on their website.

It depends. If you treat your UPS deliveryman like a human being and a friend they don't mind it much. I know mine by name and I even bought him a Christmas present last year.

Credit card processing, work with merchants and offer processing. It's not easy, it's really hard work, and you basically have to learn it on your own, however, it can be very lucrative. 50K if you just fart around for a year, much more if you work hard long hours. I have a friend making 30K per month doing this, I make much less than that, but still find time to piss around here on a regular basis, plus, I worked on the rp campaign for 8 years doing this and did many other things to help educate folks to the good ole ussr.
Good luck op!
