Hey! I found this forum a little late amongst the multitude of options here! I am a home business blogger and I love it! Would love your feedback and content suggestions. I also run a website and 5 personal blogs. I write for associated content too!

Who is next????

I sell items on eBay and another site, and do freelance writing and PR. I've recently started a website of my own to host links to my work in order to show prospective clients. I am in the midst of writing a couple of ebooks on home businesses in order to sell those online. I have the domains and hosting but can't figure out the programming to get that started. I wish I'd gotten that CS degree that my parents kept pushing.

My wife and I are marketing executives with Melaleuca. We love it cause we're a bit shy on the selling thing and, with Melaleuca, we don't have to sell. Just refer other customers to buy for themselves directly from the company...WITHOUT ANY RISK! We have a very successful business and comfortable income that has been such a blessing. But the greatest thing is we've not advanced ourselves at the expense of others! That's the great blessing!
Someday, I'm thinking of writing a parenting book with the help of my kids (that'll be a dandy!!). I'm storing away content in my noggin for the right time.

I Mystery shop and audit businesses full time. I also sell high end plus size clothing online at Ebay for extra cash. I test drive cars for money and etc and I really really want to blog ( I have a MA in Lit), I also merchandise 10 hours a week for a steady...HAHAHAHAHA income.

and last but not least, if all else fails, my daughter gets death benefits from her dad's passing, not a lot but enough to pay my mortgage should I need to not work for a month.

I also have a pretty serious savings if something happens to me and I was out of work for 2-3 months, which will never, ever happen ( knock wood and pray)

Default Trying To Stay Home....

Hi everyone,

I am working on my own website. My husband is the stay-at-home parent, but our goal is to have me home more. So we are doing 'ecommerce'.

Currently I am a dental hygienist. (I might start another site about that too.)

Anyone can do this. Just take your passion, interest, or hobby and turn it into a Website.

Sell something?... You can market through the World Wide Web, without knowing anything about HTML codes or jpegs. If I can do it, you can.

With a website, you can become an affiliate, or have your own auctions! The ways to make money on the net are countless! Go for it!

You can check out my site, then just click on the bottom of any page, on the 'footer' that says "copywrite 2006-2007"or the bar that says "Powered by Site Build It".

Good luck and just post to me, if you want more info. Good luck to those who are trying to stay home with your kids! Your family is something I am definitely passionate about. We need to be there for our kids!

Default mostly writing

I'm a freelance writer here and at some other sites, and I have been published in print a few times. I also make small amounts of money or residual income with citizen journalism, web content, article resellers and paid to post sites. I substitute teach occasionally as well, which works because I only work while the kids are in school.
