Earnestine, my advice to you is to stop looking for this type of job. Companies just do not hire people to stuff envelopes from their homes, they have machines that do that. Those ads are all the same. I did an investigation on an envelope stuffing ad and you can read that post here.

My mother did this many years ago. I doubt that although the methods have changed with technology, the basic idea is probably the same. She would receive packets of cheap mimeographed ads for sorts of junk mail order stuff; many where ads for more envelope stuffing ‘opportunities’. With it, she could include her own flyer for whatever else she might be selling through mail order (the only way she made anything, actually). She was required to purchase mailing lists from the company she did the stuffing for and pay the postage to mail all the circulars out to the names on the lists, many of which were bad addresses. If Mom had not been so desperate to earn even a small side income, she would have never kept it up for as long as she did. I even did it for awhile as a young mother myself. Needless to say, I spent more than I ever made, but gave it up mainly because it just felt sleazy. No matter what the twist, I’d run the other way with any so-called envelope stuffing scheme.
