If you are looking for a work-at-home opportunity, stuffing envelopes can be a lucrative business venture. It allows you to stay at home and spend only a few hours a day working. The trick is to avoid scams that appeal to your desire to work at home.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Start your own business. Unfortunately, many of the companies that you find on the Internet will not provide you with the opportunity to make money stuffing envelopes. Your best bet is to set up your own company that offers mailing services to area companies.
Step2
Create a job description. Let area businesses know exactly what type of services you offer. Direct mailing is where you handle all mailing responsibilities for clients. You may need to mail out marketing materials, advertisements or invoices.
Step3
Set up a home office. You need an area in your home that can house your mailing supplies. The key to making money stuffing envelopes is to stay organized.
Step4
Purchase supplies. You need envelopes and labels (if they are not provided by the client), a computer, printing software and business cards.
Step5
Rate your services. Keep your prices competitive considering the easy nature of the job.
Step6
Advertise your business. Make sales calls to local companies, take out an ad in the yellow pages and send out promotional material.

Tips & Warnings

  • Don't respond to stuffing envelope positions that ask for payment up front and don't provide you with their complete contact information. These are signs that the job is a scam.
