I'm sure you'll get tons of responses with work at home schemes but have you ever thought of having a website that sells merchandise? There are companies that you can 'drop ship' from so you don't have to carry the actual merchandise and they will ship the stuff for you.

just google 'drop ship' and you'll find quite a few

Kevin, I have a company that isn't multilevel marketing. It is consumer direct. Go to thatworksforme.topratebiz.com, If you have any questions I will be glad to help Karla

Absolutely, have you ever thought of affiliate marketing? It can be done almost totally free (with the exception of your internet connection) and you can do in your spare time. More and more people are doing it full time, after starting out part time.

This program has a multi-level aspect to it, but it's legit and growing fast. Give it a look.

Did you ever hear of those people who make a great living through e-bay? First, they sell their own stuff and make some $$. Then, they search for great deals, sell the items and that becomes their at-home business. I hear some do extremely well.

I had created a blog on home based business's on my 360 page. There are a couple that are not MLM on there. It may not be for you, but you can go ahead and take a look. If your
married, this particular one I'm thinking of that is posted on my blog, maybe more suited for a female. So your wife may want to look into this one if your married. Not saying that you can't do it, it's just most people prefer a female in this particular line of business. Although I have heard of a few males doing this with their wife. There are some business's posted that you have a choice to use the network marketing system, or on your own. The choice would be yours on how you would work it. They don't require you to use the multi marketing system. You can if you chose, or you don't have to if you don't want to. all these business's on my blog are with the BBB.
If you find something that interests you, contact the person that has posted it. They can point you in the right direction.
Other than that, I don't know any company that will hire you to work out of your home on your own.
Good Luck to finding the perfect placement for yourself. They are out there, you just have to pound the pavements and go look around.
