My Journey with Home Assembly Craft Jobs

Off and on for several years now I have searched for a way to make an extra income from home. I am a fairly creative person and enjoy arts and crafts. Naturally, I felt that an 'assemble crafts from home' job would be perfect. Boy was I ever wrong!

I began my search online and found many companies that offered home craft assembly work. Most companies asked anywhere from $19.99 to $49.95 for their start-up kits. I have tried almost everything from sewing mice to painting to magnets to cutting tiny boxes. None of which have made me any money. In fact, had I kept up with it, the entire process has probably cost me hundreds of dollars.

Some of the companies I have now found out were fraudulent. You send in the set-up fee and you will never pass inspection no matter how well your craft product appears. Other companies are legit but very picky. Once you do pass inspection it takes so long to make each craft that you earn about $2.00 an hour.

Many mothers fall into the same trap that I did. We wish so much for an opportunity to earn enough money from home to stay with our children. The companies sound so wonderful and our minds begin to dream of the money we can make. "Was is $49.95 compared to the thousands we can make each month?" we ask ourselves. And we purchase the kit.

The kit arrives and your adrenaline is pumping. You are ready to begin your earnings. The first inspection is sent off. You wait day after day rushing to the mailbox. It finally arrives. You remove the inspection paper and your heart sinks. You see mistake after mistake after mistake. You try again and again. You try company after company.

I have been there and done that. Do not do it to yourself anymore. Think of all the money that you have spent. These companies do not care about you. They do not care about their craft. They make their money from people like us that send in the start-up kit fee and never pass inspection. Their craft is not in demand. How many people do you know that go searching the web for a bunny made from a washcloth or a bookmark made from tying knots. The money is all in the set-up fees.

If you truly want to make money with crafts, make your own and market them yourself. Have I? It is in the works. Stay-at-home-moms, do not put yourself through the agonizing pain of home craft assembly companies anymore.
