I worked from home for twelve years and just recently started working full-time in an office. It has been quite an adjustment and one day I want to go back to working from home because it's just so much more efficient than the lengthy commute I now have. Anyway, in my situation, I found that if I did something I truly loved and really worked at it, I eventually made money at it, and good money at that. For me, that love was writing and it just developed over time into a career as a freelancer while opening a whole new world to me. I'm now switching from traditional print media to new media and am going back to school this semester to learn more as I tackle the learning curve at work. So, in a nutshell, my advice would be to follow your passion, do what you love, and the money will come.

I tried this. It is a

wren28's picture

I tried this. It is a legitimate company however the job wasn't for me. If you go to www.transcriptionexpress.com and click on Employment Opportunities it gives full detail on qualifications that you need to meet. You have to go to a training class for three days, come back the fourth day with your practice work, and then maybe the fifth day if you didn't do so well. After that you are good to go. Very nice people there, you actually meet the owner and her husband, and it doesn't cost you anything for the training class. The only thing that you need to buy is a transcription machine which I found on Craigslist for $70. Basically to give you an idea of what the job is.....you will pick up tapes of lawyer/witness talking about a car accident for instance. You listen to the tape and type what the people are saying. That's it. You get paid per page. You have a few days to do it and then you need to return it to them. They are located in Gilbert but they have remote drop off/pick up locations in the East Valley. It's not for everyone but some of the people that I trained with who I am still friends with are still doing it and they love it. Good luck!

Hi, I just left my info for Transcription Express to call me back. If you don't mind sharing, how much do they pay and is the work consistent? Thanks!

I have had the ad for this

Deannag's picture

I have had the ad for this company sitting by my phone for weeks now. I'm not one for trying something out only to find its a dead end. My last job of working for an insurance company for 8 years ended being paid off, new baby, and one other child already at home. I am looking for work from home. I read your comments on transcription express and was hoping you would let me know why this wasn't for you? Several weeks ago I spoke to a woman off of craigs list who worked for this company, if what she told me was valid I won't know. At the time she mentioned she worked alot, slept little to bring home 2 grand a month. If I remember she said she was paid 1.25 per page ( I may not have the correct dollar figure) I am skeptical because I have 2 children one of which will only be 1 years old next week. My other is in kindergarten which allows me free time. Is it possible to make decent money without putting in tons of hours?
My other question you have answered was regarding the training. Only 3 days? I just left all my information by phone today.
Do you know if they call back everyone or is this one of those if they don't like what you say they will never call back?
Sorry this is lengthy, like I mentioned I am very skeptical! I'm looking for long time employment.

What are you interested in

Hi Melissa,

There are lots of oprtions out there. I do Tupperware, at the same time keeping my full time job. So far, I am loving it; I had so much fun while making serious money. I get to meet new acquintances and all the extra stuff for women. I don't do home parties that often because of my schedule, but the extra income I earned really helps my family. For I can invest much/less time on it. Let me know if this interests you. Visit http://my2.tupperware.com/tomkinrc

Yes, it's a great idea to do

DorothyG's picture

Yes, it's a great idea to do your research. But the best place to go if you are looking to find MLM companies with exceptional ethics., etc., is the Direct Selling Association's website: http://www.dsa.org/forms/CompanyFormPublicMembers/search?action=find

The Direct Selling Association is the watch dog group for all MLM companies and to become a member, your company must complete a year of intense audits and scrutiny. They also recognize stellar leaders in the industry. They recently awarded Arbonne with the following recognition:

The Direct Selling Association recently presented its 2007 annual industry awards for outstanding achievement in the areas of education, innovation, partnership, community service and program excellence. The four companies honored during the association's recent annual meeting in San Diego were Arbonne International, Mary Kay Inc., Primerica Financial Services and Dan Jensen Consulting.

Arbonne International was awarded the Education for Life Award for its Arbonne University program. The Education for Life award honors companies that have invested in salesforce education and training programs that build life skills in individuals.

Through Arbonne University, Arbonne International brings to life the promise that they thrive on personal development. With life-skills training that focuses on the whole person, Arbonne’s distributors discover abilities they never saw in themselves. They learn how to lead with vision and confidence, communicate with clarity and optimism, achieve personal and business goals by setting boundaries, free themselves from limiting beliefs and enjoy an extraordinary family life. Available anytime, anywhere, using an MP3 player or the Internet, life-skills training is such a high priority that Arbonne’s top executives and field leaders create and present the courses.

Happy researching! Just make sure you are going to a reputable website for your info.

Hi Melissa, I am a stay at

jdavalos's picture

Hi Melissa,

I am a stay at home mom of 3. And love it. I have done a lot of business from home, but none really worked out for me. My husband just got out of the military and I had to go back to work. Which lasted a whole 3 months. I could not handle staying away from my children. So I did my research and found this wonderful company. I would love to share it with you. I am having fun. And I am there for my children it is great to be able to work and take my 2 year old to the park. And be home for my 2 boys when the come home from school. I think the best part of this all is seeing there faces when they come home and talking with them on how there day went. These times in there lives you will never get back and I did not want to miss out, not one min.
If you would like more info just send me an email and I would love to talk to you about it.

Good luck,
Jamie

I am a single mom of 2 girls

bluid_mom's picture

I am a single mom of 2 girls under 4yrs old. I started selling Gold Canyon candles as a part-time job to bring in some money. I know tons of women who also sell Gold Canyon and some have been successful enough to quit their day jobs and work part-time selling Gold Canyon candles. It's something I would suggest now to anyone who is wanting to stay home with their kids or even supplement their income without having to get a part-time job. Let me know if you have any questions or are interested.
