I’ve tried the survey and mystery shopper routines – no go. I’ve tried the home assembly routine several times – pay up front to get materials for a sample to send in for “grading.” The work was never good enough for them (and I even showed them to a couple of friends who worked in retail who said my work was excellently done) and they wanted more up front money to “grade” a new attempt.
I’m handicapped with chronic pain from both a car accident and a genetic back defect that can hit hard and fast whenever it feels like it. I can’t really count on my car. So – flexible hours, no driving and no up front investment or fake costs. At this point I don’t even mind piece work if I’m not getting ripped off too much on the pay vs time. I know that there’s legit work out there. I just can’t find it yet. I’m in the Louisville, KY area if that makes any difference to anyone. I’m 50 now, but my college degrees are in engineering and I’ve also had recent basic professional jeweler’s training.
