Anyone actually know of any legitimate work-from-home opportunities?
My sister-in-law just had a baby, but she & her husband need the extra
income. I was kinda hoping that some one here might know of a decent
work-from-home opportunity.

Thanks!

Write Childrens Books.
As Perot would say, "there's a huge sucking sound coming from the market".
It's not hard to sell them, and it's not hard to write them.
If she can just convince herself it's not a waste of time, and actually
complete one, she'll probably freak over how easy it is to make a *good*
living at it.

Yeah
1. Call up ANY major publisher and ask them for
a. A copy of their "Writer's Guidelines" and
b. the name of an "Acquisitions Editor".
c. A link to their current releases.
2. Check their catalog to see if it's a match with your style and ability.
3. Write a one page synopsis and a chapter outline.
4. Mail 'em out like resumes.
5. Follow through with a phone call.
6. Submit on time.
7. Get paid.

I don't know if this is the way Steven King does it, but it works for me!

At one time I could and in four languages but as a result of open heart
surgery and several strokes I'm a bit weak in that regard but I keep trying
regardless.

Good to see that you're not giving up. Speedy recovery and good luck if
you write your book (and even if you don't!)
