Work From Home Jobs That Aren’t Multi-Level-Marketing

For whatever reason, many people, especially women, seem to think the only way to earn money from home is to sign up with a multi-level marketing company.

Honestly, nothing can be farther from the truth. That may have been correct 30 years ago, but today there are literally thousands of work from home jobs out there.

I understand the need for many to able to set their own schedule, which MLMs offer. But there are many remote jobs out there that allow you to make your own schedule.
Unlike multi-level marketing, you can actually make some money without alienating family and friends in the process.
