My work from home truth

Guest post written by Penny Call One of the things that I really love about the show Pretty Little Liars is that it's so unrealistic. It's so unrealistic that it's funny! I mean, no one would actually be intrigued or glad to hear about a group of teenage girls getting cyber bullied and harassed by some mysterious person that probably killed their best friend. But it makes for a really great plot for a TV show and apparently a book series too. Also, what teenage girl could actually pull looks together like they do? Certainly not me when I was their age, but it's a look that I would like to achieve ...

Image via Not sure if Google's new policies regarding original content and page rank have anything to do with it, but I finally have a ! Awesome. Not bragging or anything, but I got so excited this morning to see my little number 1! Google Page Rank can really open lines of revenue for you as far as sponsored posts and advertisers are concerned. For those of you who do not know what Google Page Rank is: a link analysis algorithm measures your importance on the Internet helps you make money...

Image via CrunchBase Demand Media Takeover... I think it is so sad about the Demand Media takeover and now the closing of the eHow Writer’s Compensation Program (WCP). If you are anything like me, eHow was one of the ways that you began making money online. It seems sad to me that a site that had its roots in revenue sharing has now closed that program and essentially shut off the faucet to the writers that helped to make them who they are in the first place. At the same time I am grateful to...

Guest post written by Brian LarsonWe decided that rather than just give our whole home a green makeover, we would adjust our habits and focus on two of the rooms that we waste the most energy in, our game room and our kitchen. We just use so much energy in both of those rooms, so we thought that would make a huge green difference in our home.Right now we're working on finding some easy changes to make in our game room. While I was online the other day trying to get some ideas for that, I happened across some energy rates information in New York and read through it. After we looked through it together ...

Sometimes people tell me that they have nothing to sell on eBay. Wrong! People are always looking for other people’s junk. Here are some ideas that you might not have thought of before today: Old Keyboard Keys – the keyboard does not have to work, and probably shouldn’t. People will pay you good money for the keys. This is a great sales technique if you have spilled cream soda in your laptop and can no longer use it. Old clothing – some people will pay top dollar for your used clothing and...

Guest post written by Leah Rhoades In the Rhoades household, we go through a large amount of ranch dressing. I'm the only one who doesn't like it and my husband and kids dip almost every kind of food in it. In other words, it's tough to make sure that we're in supply of ranch dressing. So I'm going to try and make it on my own as a way to cut back a little bit on expenses. I've never made ranch dressing before though so I went online to try and figure out an easy recipe that would be close...

Well, the e-Book is finally finished and ready for publication. Now what? I consulted some eZine articles and an eHow article, How to Sell One Million ebooks on the Internet, in order to find the best way to market, publish and sell my e-book. I will be honest, the process did not take long. I mainly just wanted to get the e-book done and out. It is a quality e-book with a good subject that isn’t widely written about. My idol makes around $10,000 a month from his LEED e-book. This is my idol:...

Some time ago now, I signed up for eJury.com – the online trial experience. This is a site where you sign up to be a juror and make money online by judging a trial before it ever happens. This gives the lawyer in the trial a better idea of what the verdict might be before he goes to trial. It also gives him or her ideas and new perspectives in the case. This is by far one of the most interesting ways to make money online. The pay is nothing to make a living from. Considering that it took 3-6...

In the mail, there was this magazine, Home Business Connection. I don’t think I subscribed, but maybe I can find one legit home business opportunity to try for free. I do not like initial investments. Usually there can be found a way to access the same opportunity for free elsewhere, so I steer clear of upfront business investment type payments. Here are some links that I looked into, some of which cost money. 1) http://www.brokeropp.com/program-details.html – This link advertises cashing in...

First of all, let me clarify, these are the things I was working on this weekend: 1. A 40 hour a week temporary full-time marketing position that pays the bills for however long it lasts....
