Most of the moms who are making *decent* money at home are working for phone sex services, which do most of their business at night when the kids are asleep. Almost as much money can be made from working at Psychic Hotlines, with the same general hours of operation. Both phone sex and psychic hotlines protect the private identities of the workers. Most other "work-from-home" jobs require excessive amounts of "cold-calling" sales, which doesn't pay much unless you start working it to the exclusion of other aspects of your life, such as your kids, which defeats the entire purpose of a "work-from-home" job for moms. The thing to remember about "work from home" jobs is that there are areas of the world in which $16-$20 a month is an extravagant income. Chances are anyone will be able to do the "normal" work-at-home jobs for a lot less money than you will need for doing the same work. However, Americans with money generally want to hear other Americans getting them off or telling their fortunes, and many other countries have strong social stigmas against phone sex and psychic work, so American work-at-home moms can make a lot of money doing those two kinds of jobs.
