One Mom's View of BzzAgent.com

I came across a site called BzzAgent.com, which has you test a product in exchange for a product review, and they allow you to keep the product for your trouble. This sounded interesting, so I joined their site to see what all the "buzz" was about. So far, I have completed several surveys, which are supposed to gauge my interests and personality, and therefore increase my chances of being selected for a particular campaign. I did a quick internet search of the company, and a few people have said that they have been waiting to be chosen for quite some time, but I suppose part of that is due to demographics and selections made during the surveys on the site. Others have had great experiences, so it looks like it could go either way. For now, I will just have to wait and see.

One Mom's View of work-from-home companies

So another year has arrived, and with it will come our fourth child, and many, many more diapers to buy. In a fit of desperation, I have decided it is time to bring in a second income, and I am setting out to learn all that I can about work-from-home companies. I've spent many nights up with the babies, so I've seen my share of infomercials, and I've been (momentarily) taken with the glamour and promise these internet-based companies have to offer. I've taken surveys that have so far only earned me gift cards, and others that have earned me nothing but spam and "sweepstakes entries." I've been a mystery shopper, which in truth can be a bit fun, but is overall time-consuming and very tedious. Basically, I want to find something with a little more practicality, and a lot more reliability. I've had it with waiting for an email to take a survey or shopping job that eventually turns out to be reliant on joining "free offers" in order to get "paid" or cost me 3 hours of my time and fuel to earn a measly $5. I don't want to get rich quick, but I also don't want to work for peanuts. This is my mission:
1: to find a source of (combined) income that I can put towards the Diaper Fund,
2: that I can do from home while taking care of the kids
3: that doesn't cost me money upfront (or require my own funds to sustain)

Is it impossible? I guess I am about to find out...
