Moms, wouldn’t you like to stay home and spend time with your family? Wouldn’t you like to make THOUSANDS of dollars a day doing this? Wouldn’t you like to earn money doing nothing and get rich overnight?

Guess what? That’s not gonna happen. Unfortunately, it is impossible to get rich instantly, no matter what any site advertises. There are many sites that specialize in work from home jobs for stay at home moms, but many of them are scams.

Trust me, I’ve tried several things. The first thing I tried a while back was this “secret shopper” service that claimed to pay you up to $50 just to eat at your favorite restaurants. You can also be paid to buy and keep everything you bought for free. It seemed like a great deal and the ad was on a popular job search site so I thought it looked legit. I had to pay $30 to join. Needless to say, I never got paid to eat or shop or anything. I didn’t do anything and they didn’t pay me for anything. Instead, I lost that $30. Stay away from scams like this as there are other legitimate work from home jobs for stay at home moms.

The next thing I tried was online surveys. Many are scams, but there are some legitimate ones. Stay away from PandaResearch, Vindale and their associated sites. Sites like this and others require personal information and you don’t even get surveys. They need your credit card information, and once they have it, you start getting daily calls from telemarketers. Their email accounts also get spammed with tons of bogus offers. There are some legitimate sites, but they don’t pay that well. Opinion Outpost and SurveySpot have made me a bit of money, and they don’t spam as much either, and they’re free to join, too.

There are also other work from home jobs for stay at home moms but they are not as good. Anyway, after trying a lot of things like this, I came across a site called Wealthy Affiliate. It seemed professional so I liked it but I was wary because you had to pay to join. I did some research and couldn’t find any bad reviews so I decided to join. I am happy to have done it.

This site did not promise to make you rich overnight and helps you set realistic goals. That site doesn’t make you money directly, but it shows you how to make money with affiliate marketing. I didn’t have any experience with something like this, but it’s set up great with tons of beginner lessons.
