    hello, I have been applying to jobs for ages and no luck, it's my own fault really not having much experience but my partner is working so I now stay at home with the little one. I would really like to make a small bit of money but there is so many scam jobs for working at home does anyone have any ideas or of any online places to make some cash thank you

    Hi Hagoonabear,
    You asked a genuine honest question... but sadly I believe you are not going to get genuine honest answers.

    You'll get the usual sell stuff on ebay, adverts or gumtree - This is generic advise as what do you sell that's going to make money? That's the actual answer you want.
    You may get deeper replies such as out-sourcing services - Problem there is you will be the 'Middle Man" between client and the person who works on the job. So you'll have to have a knowledge of what you are talking about otherwise you won't make a sale.

    The reality is no-one is going to reply back saying how they made 350 euro in the last week selling lightbulbs online. It's up to you to figure out what knowledge you have of pre-existing products or services you can offer. Then go out and do the homework so to speak.

    Are you going to be looking after the child while working? This will put a lot of potential employers off.

    Working from home does not equal 'can mind the child as well'.

    If an employer is paying you by the hour they will want your undivided attention for each and every minute of those hours.

    I don't have any advice on where to look sorry but this may allow you to adapt your strategy for jobs moving forward.

    thank you both for the replies, I really should have a good think about it all I have been trying so hard for any job (except door to door work), I have been learning well trying to learn sales techniques and coding but it just doesn't seem to be going in.

    I feel so frustrated at not being able to contribute to the household.

    I know a childminder who will mind if I do get a job, if i had a at home job my daughter would be going to the childminder too
