I work at home with Ameriplan and we do not do parties nor do we cold call.  We just call people back that have requested information from us and educate them on what we have to offer.

In your post you indicated that you did not want to be on the phone calling people so I have listed some work at home jobs that you might be able to look into.  Hope this helps you in your search.

 
At Home JOBS (F.Y.I. ~ These are NOT Business Opps which will have a start up cost, these are Actual JOBS from Home as an Employee):

Typist/Data Entry work -

~ Keys for Cash http://www.keysforcash.com/ 

~ Speak Write http://www.speak-write.com/

~ Escription
www.escriptionist.com under employment

~ ChaCha - texting -
www.chacha.com under "guides"

~ A great site is also
www.wahweekly.com there is weekly postings of work at home JOBS

 

Please be very Careful on your search for Work at Home... Here are some Information on a Typical WAH SCAM...

Assembly Work at Home
: Typical Ad -- "Assembly work at home! Easy money assembling craft items. No experience necessary." This scheme requires you to invest hundreds of dollars in instructions and materials and many hours of your time to produce items such as baby booties, toy clowns, and plastic signs for a company that has promised to buy them. Once you have purchased the supplies and have done the work, the company often decides not to pay you because your work does not meet certain "standards." You are then left with merchandise that is difficult or impossible to sell.


Envelope Stuffing: Typical Ad -- "$350 Weekly Guaran- teed! Work two hours daily at home stuffing envelopes." When answering such ads, you may not receive the expected envelopes for stuffing, but instead get promotional material asking for cash just for details on money-,making plans. The details usually turn out to be instructions on how to go into the business of placing the same kind of ad the advertiser ran in the first place. Pursuing the envelope ad plan may require spending several hundred dollars more for advertising, postage, envelopes, and printing. This system feeds on continuous recruitment of people to offer the same plan. There are several variations on this type of scheme, all of which require the customer to spend money on advertising and materials. According to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, "In practically all businesses, envelope stuffing has become a highly mechanized operation using sophisticated mass mailing techniques and equipment which eliminates any profit potential for an individual doing this type of work-at-home. The Inspection Service knows of no work-at-home promotion that ever produces income as alleged."


Chain letter: Typical Ad -- "Make copies of this letter and send them to people whose names we will provide. All you have to do is send us ten dollars for our mailing list and labels. Look at the chart below and see how you will automatically receive thousands in cash return!!!" The only people who benefit from chain letters are the mysterious few at the top of the chain who constantly change names, addresses, and post office boxes. They may attempt to intimidate you by threatening bad luck, or try to impress you by describing themselves as successful professionals who know all about non-existent sections of alleged legal codes.


Home Typist (also order taker/application taker): There are lots of home typist positions that are perfectly legitimate, but these never ask you for a fee and they are also rarely advertised online. Don't get suckered by ads that promise home typing work that require a fee. They are all variations on the email processing scam.
 

Appointment setter: Similar to the scam above.  You are cold calling and telemarketing to set up appointments for reps to make home visits.  You get paid if and only if the appointment you set up "qualifies".  Guess what??? They usually don't "qualify".


Lists of companies that hire home workers: Many people get scammed into buying lists that promise hundreds of “sure bet” companies that are just waiting to hire you to work from home. The simple reality is that these lists are often just compiled from the telephone book and many of the companies on them, if the companies exist at all, don't know they're on such a list. And, the real kicker: Most of these companies don't even hire home-based workers. There are legitimate lists online, but they are totally free for you to review.


Online Business: Typical Ad -- "Turn your Home Computer into a Cash Machine! Get computer diskette FREE! Huge Selection of Jobs! No experience needed! Start earning money in days! Many companies want to expand, but don’t want to pay for office space. You save them money by working in the comfort of your home." This is typical of advertisements showing up uninvited in your e-mail—an old scheme advertised in a new way. You pay for a useless guide to work-at-home jobs—a mixture of computer-related work such as word processing or data entry and the same old envelope-stuffing and home crafts scams. The computer disk is as worthless as the guidebook. It may only list free government web sites and/or business opportunities which require more money.

Processing Medical Insurance Claims: Typical Ad -- "You can earn from $800 to $1000 weekly processing insurance claims on your home computer for health care professionals such as doctors, dentists chiropractors, and podiatrists. Over 80% of providers need your services. Learn how in one day!"

Generally, the promoter of this scheme attracts you by advertising on cable television and, perhaps, by inviting you to a business opportunity trade show at a hotel or convention center. You may be:

Urged to buy software programs and even computers at exorbitant prices; a program selling at a software store for $69 might cost you several thousands of dollars. Told that your work will be coordinated with insurance companies by a central computer. Required to pay for expensive training sessions available at a "current special rate" that will be higher in the future, and Pressured to make a decision immediately. Most likely, the expensive training sessions are superficial, and the market for your services is very small or nonexistent. The promoter may delay the processing of your job, citing a backlog or mistakes in your work. There may also be no central computer as advertised. You may be left with no way to deliver what you have promised to your clients or customers—if you found any—and with no way to earn any money on you own.

$6 Chain letter. If you’ve ever seen the $6 Chain Letter in your Inbox, you’ve experienced a pyramid scheme up close and personal. For only $6, you can make thousands or so promises the letter. A simple rule of thumb: Avoid all chain letters, especially when money is being requested. This is one letter you’ll want to avoid like the plague because not only is it totally illegal and it doesn't work

Reading books for pay: A variation on the job’s list is the Make Money Reading Books” list. This list names publishers who pay to have individuals review their manuscripts. As with the lists in #5, you can find this information for free on the Web yourself. And, while it is true that some publishing companies pay people to review manuscripts, they will advertise these positions carefully. They are not typically happy about receiving unsolicited resumes.

Email processors: Email processing is the e-version of envelope stuffing. Typically, you pay person 1 a fee of between $5-30 and then person 1 sends you your 'information kit'. This typically tells you how to take the exact same ad you replied to and send it out by email or on newsletters to convince others to send you the same fee you sent Person 1.

Hello!

I know your post is a bit older but I just found this site the other day.  If you like working on the computer you can do what I do WITHOUT leaving your home.  I copied and pasted my post below.  I hope it helps...Good luck!! :)

Hello All!

I am very new to this group...about 7 minutes:) 

I am a stay-at-home mom of 2 wonderful boys. 

Since the economy has taken a turn I have been thinking more and more about helping my husband feel more secure.  And taking the pressure off of him for being the soul provider.  So now I guess its time to focus on growing my business.

For the last 6 years my husband and I have been customers of a wonderful company with fantastic personal and home care products that are safer for your home and the environment. 

I have read some of the recent posts on this site and yes, this is the same company that some of the other ladies have posted about.  I am not looking to snatch any of you away from them.  If you were drawn to their posts, please take a moment to contact them and get all of the information from them. 

This is a great company.  I believe everyone should be customers...even if I'm not the one who enrolls you:)

I hope that all of you take some time and look over this information about this wonderful company.  And as I said before, if you were drawn to the other posts, please contact them.  You'll be glad you did.
