CloudCrowd is a brand new work at home opportunity! I'm really pushing this as I just started on Thursday and I have already received $50 through PayPal!
You can read more about my experience here or sign up here!
I haven't been blogging much as I have been putting most of my attention into my new website The Frugal Home! I am very excited about this site. I will be moving much of the information you can find here over to the new site as well as adding tons of new information!
So if you are a subscriber here you may want to subscribe over there to keep up on legitimate work at home jobs and tips on living a frugal life!
Leave me a comment at The Frugal Home and let me know what you think of the new site! Also, if you are interested in sharing your own thoughts, ideas or articles check out how you can be a contributor to TFH!
And, while I'm at it don't forget about Nature's Thumbprint and Area Rugs by McCalls!
I realized this week that I hadn't been on the blog in awhile. Quite awhile actually. I have been busy working my little butt off. Well, its not quite so little any more.
Anyway, I have been writing ehow articles and uploading rugs and being extremely sick. And ChaChaing.
I am really focusing on ehow and The Frugal Home,the area rug site, and Nature's Thumbprint, and will be putting my focus in these areas for the next several months. And ChaChaing of course.
I guess I'm saying don't expect too much out of me for a bit while I get back in the groove of working non stop! I will let you know how well all of this hard work pays off!
When freelancing you hear many people discussing how you should not put all of your eggs in one basket. This is the best advice I have found in the freelancing world as there are no guarantees in this line of work.
This is why losing www.today.com yesterday is discouraging but by no means debilitating. When one income source, or one egg, dries up then I just grab another egg and keep on moving! I had my own dairy free blog prior to the two today.com dairy free blogs so I may begin posting there again though I think it is more likely that I will post mostly on The Frugal Home.
The moral of this story is to not become to reliant on any one income source, or at least realize that with a freelance job you are just as likely to lose your job as someone who works in an office and that you have to be just as prepared. I have gained and loss many freelance jobs over the years and am always on the lookout for new ones.
I received an email this afternoon from www.today.com. They stated that I was no longer going to be paid per post though I would still get a portion of the ad revenue. I am discouraged needless to say as I was in the middle of a goal of writing a post a day for the month of January. I will not be posting for today.com anymore as I do not enjoy it enough to do it for free, or close to free anyway. The email did state that this decision was made on a month by month basis and that it could change but I can't put all that work in for no cash when I can use the time I would have put into that into something else. I have been with today.com for six months or so now and this is the first time this has happened to me.
I will be taking my dairy free recipes and moving on! The four hours a week I spent on my two today.com blogs can now go into The Frugal Home. I will be adding all of my recipes there from now on so be sure to check it out!
