4 September 2006

Since last October my dh hasn't been able to work because his back finally gave out on him. He has 3 bulged discs, osteoarthritis, degeneration, a small broken bone, and a lot of pain.

This situation is what led me to start blogging. I was looking online for a way to make money without having to work outside the home. I don't deal well with working outside the home, or I should say my stomach doesn't like it. There have been several times I've had to leave work because of stomach pain.

I knew I needed to find a job, but my stomach kept giving me fits. I was almost to the point I wasn't able to eat much of anything again, when I decided I needed to find a way to work from home, and I wouldn't look for an outside job anymore. With that decision my stomach problems mostly disappeared.

I've been having so much fun writing my blogs and searching the web for ways to make money at home. I started with those survey companies, but I wasn't getting any money from them, so I stopped doing that and kept looking. I looked into those mock jury sites, but they didn't work out for me.

I received a couple of what I thought were job offers because they told me they were job offers, but they really didn't want to hire me, they just wanted me to click on the offers they had on their site. Most annoying.

I don't remember why, but I came to Blogger and started a family history blog. Before I finished setting up my blog, I knew about AdSense. As you can see I have AdSense on my blogs. I haven't made anything yet, but I have to work to get traffic to my site and then I should start making some money from it.

The next thing I discovered was WAHM.com (or in other words Work At Home Moms). This was the best discovery I made. I joined the forum and have gotten so much information from the site. This is where I learned about Blogitive and managed to earn $20 last week. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it gave me hope that I would be able to make money online.

It was through the forum I learned about Helium.com. I only started on this on Friday and I've made a couple of pennies (literally), and I want to join their affiliate program, but I don't have enough traffic yet.

Make Money Online by Super Mom has lists of these types of work at home opportunities. This site is on Squidoo (don't ask me what it means) and they have a moneymaking opportunity that I want to look into, but haven't yet.

I'm going to have to sign off for now. I'm supposed to be cooking supper, and I do have it on the stove, but it's in danger of burning.

Thanks for the link!

I hope your dh is doing better. I created that site with people like us in mind. When I lost my employment and my child was diagnosed with autism, I knew it would be difficult to work outside of the home. Seven kids need a lot of care and money!

I hope you have found all the information useful and have earned some money. Feel free to pm me with any questions.

Don't forget that I update the squidoo lens everytime I earn money with another site! Visit often for more earning opportunities.

Good luck!
