Do you or your spouse stay home with the kids? It's hard! Making ends meet on one persons salary can be a difficult task. Maybe you're the parent who NEEDS to be at the house, but if you could work from home, you could do it.  Is that you? Here are some ideas for you to earn some big bucks while working from your little piece of heaven on earth.

Believe it or not, this is a REAL business. Taking surveys online can be a quick way to earn enough to afford a few more things around the house. Try HARRIS POLL ONLINE. They award points for the completion of online surveys, which can take between five and 25 minutes to fill out. Survey takers accumulate points and can redeem them for gift cards from retailers such as Amazon and Starbucks. You can also try SURVEY CLUB, SWAGBUCKS and GLOBAL TEST MARKET.
