| Alternative income generating projects Aside from doing internet jobs at home, what other alternatives are available to generate additional income while staying at home? Are there non-virtual projects we can do? |

| I know some crafty people who sell things at flea markets and craft shows and they do pretty well. A friend of mine recently opened a farmer's market and I was thinking about growing herbs and house plants to sell there. |

| I ever read somewhere that there are many assembling jobs available. They are not online jobs. You will be required to assemble products like dolls, bookmarks, bracelets, etc. The more "serious" assemble jobs will require you to assemble computers and other hi-tech products. |

| I say that any hobbies of ours can be made into an job. We just have to be creative on how to monetize that hobby of ours. If we are good at something then we can teach other people to do it properly, with a service fee of course. |

| I do a little bit of freelance writing on the side but it doesn't bring in a lot of money. I suppose something is better than nothing. |

| If you have a good writing skill, you have many opportunities to get additional income from the skill. You can write articles, short stories or other written works and submit it to newspapers and magazines which accepts contributions. |

| My sister does a little bit of online article writing in her free time. She says she does it for just a bit of spending money. I think she also does online surveys.
As far as those home assembly jobs, I've heard that many of they are rip offs and you have to be really careful. |

| Of all the ones I investigated, and there have been a lot, they make money selling programs. The latest one is $150 for a booklet of company names that may employ homeworkers. No contact names, positions or anything. |

| Wow, that's obviously scam. I often found such programs promoted here and there. They even use Adwords to advertise the programs. They must make a lot of money scamming people. :-| |
