I am a stay at home mom with 2 children and I need to find something that I can do online from home to help my parents out. I have tried TONS and TONS of different things online in the past few years but nothing ever makes me any money. My father is dying at the age of 71 and my mother is going crazy because bills are backing up like you wouldn't believe the taxes are not paid on the house and credit cards that shouldn't have been used had to be used due to my father not being able not to work. He has always had a heart condition and has been working off only 1/4 of his heart for years but it's got much worse and he has had to go on o2 and use it at all times now due to him getting ammonia and it ruining parts of his lungs. There is nothing left for anyone to do to help him now I have never felt so bad for someone in my life he has worked so hard his whole life as a farmer and has nothing nothing at all to show for it. So PLEASE help me help my parents once my father dies my mother doesn't know how she is even going to live. I need something I can do from home and something that is not going to cost me anything to start up because I am a stay at home mom we are on a super strict budget. I chose being home with my children over money.Hope you can help and thanks for reading

Please refer to what all you have done, so we can try to help you.
In all honesty, even while you try to get something going online, a real job is what you need as it is simply not possible to make money quickly with a work at home job.
Rarely happens.... if ever. We all work hard at it to get to a comfortable stage with it.

The first thing to do is to take a deep breath. Life can be challenging and especially when it comes to our parents and their health. I first want to congratulate you on taking the first step to becoming successful. That step was starting your search and asking for help.
Now let me first say it's difficult to find alot of businesses you can start for nothing and make money. There are a few reasons for that. As nothing was invested most dont put in the effort to make it work. I dont believe that will be the case with you as you have talked about your circumstances.
Another reason many free businesses are difficult for most it that they take a certain skill set to run. Either you must be good at getting people ( advertising ) online or offline.
Another reason is many online marketers havent understood the idea of creating free opportunities. I believe that there should always be a free option to all opportunities as well as upgraded options. For this very reason I came up with the idea of creating a free option in my business. It's not for everyone but those that are really looking for something and have financial issues, well it gives them a shot.
I truly hope you find something that fits what you are looking for. My door is open for any questions you might have. Be sure to really look through this forum as well because there are many useful bits of information to be obtained.

Hi littleman,
Very sorry about your troubles. We all have difficulties so I'm sure that we can relate.
I agree with M5 - you probably won't be able to rush the income side of things via online marketing. It'll likely take quite a bit longer than you require and you'll probably have to get a regular job in the mean time.
Though you've tried many things online for years, have you taken the time to identify and master the fundamentals of online marketing? That would be the first step if you haven't already done so.
I suggest the free 30 Day Challenge as a starting point:
www.thirtydaychallenge.com
After that you might continue reading this forum and Google for some make money online sites that you can read.
It takes a few months just to get a basic grasp. Then you might create a few Squidoo lenses (free) and a free blog. You'll learn a lot if you observe what you are doing to see what works and what doesn't.
Slow down a bit, spend the time to get the theory, and put it into practice.
Try not to focus on the money. Enjoy the learning process.
Good luck,
~Newbie Shield~
