I am looking for  REAL Legit home job. I am not looking for something I have to invest into or anything like that such as Melalueca where you do sales and have a pyramid. So please do not bother contacting me with those because they are a waste. I just want something real. I've been looking for 11 years now and I am just tired of searching and getting screwed. I hope someone has something out there for me or some information. Thank you

Hi Lora - I wish you luck - I am very sorry to hear that you think Melaleuca is a pyramid; it is not! it is not MLM! it is not an investment! but it is a sales-oriented job. Almost anything you do as a work-from-home job is going to be sales, unless you have connections for graphic design jobs, or want to make $7/hour doing administrative assistant work. I am having exceptional success with Melaleuca, actually, and although a few months ago, I would have had the same reaction as you, my experience with this company has completely altered my perceptions. So, good luck to you!

I agree I also work for Melaleuca through the Work At Home United Websites - it is a legit company but the business side is not for everyone as it can take a while to build up your customer base - their products however are for everyone!!!!

I have another company that I work for - Touchstone Crystal - It is a jewelry sales business - you do home parties and online parties as well as individual orders - it is fun and while I will continue working my Melaleuca business I have found the jewelry sales to be the easiest - you would be surprised how fast someone will spend money on jewelry but say they can't afford to join Melaleuca - Again I keep working on them both - I love both companies and I am happy to represent both company's products. I agree there is not much else you can do from home that pays well other than sales - over 80% of the women who make six figure incomes do so in Direct Sales.  I have a background in Medical Billing and I am a Certified Coder and I have chose not to go back to doing that from my home.

WHOA you said that 3 times..LOL..I've done Melalueca 2 times before a few other stay at home jobs and I was very unsuccessful because you really need to know people to sell the products and you have to invest a chunk into it. I would rather have the 7an hour to do any other office job but from home and I hope someone can help me finding that because I am having no luck or even a good sales job but no door to door sales please.

Lora,

I think you need to consider focusing on what you are looking for as far as work-at-home goes.  Are you considering a WAH job, or a WAH business?  You mentioned both of them.

WAH jobs are really tough to find because the competition for them is fierce.  Do you have any talents/skills/advantages that would make you stand out?  You should think outside the box and get creative in what area you would work in.

Work-at-home businesses require much more dedication, consistency and investment... although, if you are smart, that investment is more of your time and effort, and less of your money.  They are obviously NOT for everyone.  Not everyone is disciplined enough or wants to get ahead enough to put in the time and effort.  It is generally not because they don't know enough people.  It's really not who you know, but who you can get to know. 

I think before too much more time goes by, you should do some soul-searching and write out a clear plan of what you want and how you want to get it.  There are many really good books out there and you might consider getting your hands on some.  I would recommend Make A Living Without A Job by Barbara Winter as a good jumping off point to figure out what you want.

A disclaimer:  I have been in several work-at-home businesses, off and on, over the last 18 years (as well as being successfully, traditionally employed) and failed.... until I joined Melaleuca last year.

I have to gently point out a couple of things that are not quite right.  People who work with Melaleuca do marketing and customer service, not direct sales and there is no risk to join with them.  Everything has money-back guarantees... including the $29 business kit.

I love working from home and I hope everyone who really wants it finds just what they are looking for.  My best to you in your journey and I hope my suggestions help!
