With my kids in school all day and me only working 12 hours a week outside the home, my husband and I have been talking for a long time about increasing our income. I finally decided that the best way to increase our income but continue to have the flexibility to be available for the kids, I would try to find something to do from home. I started thinking about starting a crafting business. I love scrapbooking and other crafts, but thought that it wouldn’t make the money I wanted/needed and there was also a cash outlay on the front end that I didn’t want. Since I already spend a lot of time on the computer every day, I started looking at ways to make money with the computer. I looked into several “work from home” or telecommuting jobs. Unfortunately, working for a specific company automatically cut into the flexibility that I wanted – either I would have to be available during certain hours or I would have to work more hours per week than I wanted to.
So I finally started learning about blogging. I had no idea that people actually made money by blogging – it was a totally new concept to me. It took me a long time to get my blogs going and learn all the ins and outs of monetizing my blogs, but it’s been a great learning experience and a lot of fun! One of the companies I’ve been working for is blog advertising. Their opportunities are great and they pay more than other “pay you to blog” companies do. They have a new layout that is so easy to maneuver around – some websites are so difficult to understand, but not this one! It’s so easy to find their open opportunities - everything is highlighted so you can quickly find the opportunities that your blog is qualified for. I wish all blog advertising companies were this easy to work with!
