There is a lot of solid information in this book for anyone exploring the idea of working from home. I did find some helpful information and some places to further my searches. She thoroughly covered all aspects of working from home from the person with skills and know how to the person just wondering if they want to work from home. She also covered pros and cons and gave solid advice and insight into how to analyze yourself and discover if you are the type of person who is able to work from home. Worksheets and lists of questions to ask yourself are spelled out for you.

This is a rather easy read about how to make money at home and how to avoid scams we so often see on the internet. I am still reading and gathering information on some interesting ways to create more income while still being able to chase my "teenager" around.

This book has some good ideas and gives some helpful websites to get you started. A little dated as it was published in 2008.

[Jen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Provided some interesting ideas for stay at home opportunities. Worth reading if you're looking for a variety of options for generating income!

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is a lot of great information in this book. When I became a stay at home I used it as a foundation and starting point. Pivoting my life leaving the corporate world I needed to look at different ways I could continue to use my skills set while raising children.

I recommend this books to many moms. Especially those who chose to leave the work force and need to evaluate what they may want to venture into next.

Nothing new or earth shaking here.

[Ashley Dufault · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this book. It gave such great, detailed advice and listed so many resources. I think it's time for the book to be updated, though. A lot of these miracle websites are up for sale or no longer accepting applicants/really viable for earning decent money and it does make you feel a little hopeless while checking them out.
