Ambika Boase from Hyderabad never thought that she would work online, until curiosity got the best of her and she filled out a simple online form. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her three children.

I read Ambika's blog last month and decided to feature her story in our weekly consumer report. In our phone interview she told me her amazing story. "I actually make about Rs.42,000-Rs.45,000 a month working from home. It's enough to comfortably replace my old jobs' income, especially considering I only work about 15-18 hours a week from home."
