Best Answer:
made this list.. Hope it helps..
plz note I'm the best writer in the block.
1. Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. According to one user on y! answers who is a Consultant, this is what she said "It costs $100 for the start-up kit and that includes OVER $100 in product. You get to set your own hours and be your own boss, but best of all you get to be home with your kids, save $ on day care and bring in the needed income for your family." (please don't pressure friends & family to buy your product(s))
2. Marketing and Public Relations (Do a little research how to do this from home)
3. EBay - (start by selling useless Junk around the house you no longer need/use)
Start out slow...
There are risks and benefits.
Sign up for a paypal account to receive payments. www.paypal.com
Seller To avoid scams Accept only Paypal and ship only to "Confirmed" US addresses. (Don't ship to Foregin countries/poboxes unless they are confirmed)
Read up on Current scams before you start.

4. Become a Graphic design / Web master
5. Adsense (Start a blog and write about anything and start Earning)
http://adsense.google.com
"In my experience 1000 hits to a blog a day with google adsense ads on it can make you $2 a day. Up the traffic for each day and you up the money you can make, 10,000 hits a day = $20, 100,000 hit a day = $200 and so on, this is with low paying ads though, it all depends on the topic you choose. The more competitive the topic is the higher you get payed." - Rand, a yahoo user.
6. Affiliate marketing
7. Journalism/writer
8. Avon - Become a Avon Representive! http://www.avon.com/
9. Referrals - Earn $$ by referring friends and family to usefull products/servies. (Please don't spam them)
By working from home you will be missing out on regular corporate benefits like health/dental insurance, 401K , steady salary, and job stability but for who hate sitting in traffic for hours or just tired of workin for somebody else.. this is the way to go..
Lastly, Beware of Work from home scams
If they ask for a upfront fee, they are not Legit!!

I second the suggestion for becoming a Mary Kay Consultant. Besides everything else it gives a new mom a chance to have some adult time, too. And then the baby and dad can have their own quality time--needed so much in this world.

Sure do, I work for this company called Customer Loyalty Concepts. We basically call people to make sure they are receiving their newspaper, answer questions about the newspaper and stuff like that. We do NOT make cold calls (calling to sell something). Everyone we contact already subscribes to the newspaper.
It is a great company to work with if you are a stay at home mom/dad, a student...or simply would just like to work from home. You work a minimum of 12 hours a week (work as much as you want!) and make your own schedule!
I've included the link to the company's site below. Check it out!!

I cringe everytime I see these types of questions.... Beware of FRAUD scams.....
I deal in fraud and so many people get caught up in rerouting scams and have no clue what they are doing is illegal..
Whatever you do --- Do not accept packages and reship them no matter how much they pay you or what bogus sob story they tell you --- All the items are stolen products and you can be arrested and held responsible for anything you accept.
Also, do not assist anyone with bank transfers or anything dealing with transferring money --- It's a scam and in the long run you get burned...

Honestly, if you've got a newborn, you won't have time for much else than dealing with the baby...

You can try selling Avon, Mary Kay, candles or other. This is easy to do from home, although you will need to get out a bit to distribute catalogues and deliver product.

When my kids were little I worked as a "Secret Shopper". I didn't pay the bills, but it did allow us to eat out once in a while. There are websites where you can learn how to sign up with different companies that need shoppers in your town.
Freelance writing is an option too.
I agree with the comment, however, that you won't have much time to do anything but take care of the baby - they are a lot more work than they appear on the surface!

There is a lot of things you could do from home. Most work at home "jobs" are scams though. I haven't found any yet that are not. I have found that you could start your own home based business within a business, just like if you were to open up a McDonald's or a store, but it costs a fraction of the cost to start one up. Most home based business's cost less than $500 I know several stay home mom's that got involved with home based business's so that they could stay home and make a sufficient amount of income. Some make more than they did in their career, Others make the same, but they all say that they have more time to spend with their kids. Some people I know, both parents are in the business together and both are home. They're all highly involved with their children's school programs and sports etc. I don't know what your interests are, things you like to do etc. If you'd like a few links to home based business's that are successful, email me and I'll be happy to send you the links!

Park Lane Jewelry. Way better than Mary Kay. You have to be 100% committed to Mary Kay and you have to spend way to much money to get involved.

I just wrote an article about this recently. There are actually quite a few legitimate jobs you can do from home depending on your experience and education.
The article is a bit lengthy, but it includes companies that hire chefs, nurses, medical transcriptionists, customer service reps to handle inbound and outbound calls and more. And of course if you are interested in sales there is always the Tupperware, Mary Kay route (although please research those heavily before signing up. If you don't like sales they aren't the type of job for you.)
