Multi-tasking

I am no feminist, and with that said I would really like to acknowledge that men can multi-task!  My husband is fabulous, he can juggle a baby, type up a report, make a cup of coffee and wash the dishes while whipping up a storm for supper.  Of course, women can do it too, but if my husband is anything to go by - hats off to you guys!  For too long now, we as women have belittled, manipulated and teased the boys into thinking they really aren't as good as us, but in my opinion, they are better because they have nothing to prove.  They are the breadwinners, in most cases, they are the dad's, they are the hubby's, they are the friends and so with a huge hug and a kiss, this is a thank you to my guy!!!!!

And for those of us trying to make our husbands lives a little easier, try some of these ideas to work from home or save a little money in hard times.

Making Money Online

Don't be afraid to try something new, just be properly informed and there are courses out there that are available for free so look into them Free Affiliate Course.  Just a reminder though to have your computer checked out for any nasty bugs and unnecessary viruses, which can be picked up when you browse the web - Protect your computer while surfing the Web,  Check your computer!

As for work opportunities  this one, which I had a look into, sounds quite promising. It is a  Research Program.  It shows you how to do research on a particular subject and publish your findings on the net - you get paid for your efforts.

Have fun learning the ropes!

Money, Money, Money

I get at least 100 e-mails everyday, informing me of the great secret to success.  How some unsuspecting dimwit (like myself) stumbled upon a great secret code, which unravelled the mysteries of Internet Marketing and made a small fortune within the first month of this great discovery - what's more it will only cost me a meagre $50, $60 or $100 dollars to be given the secret to untold millions.  Being a horrible skeptic, I simply sigh and delete the message, in the vain hope that someone out there will take pity on my incompetence, write up a detailed step by step methology without asking for a cent in return.  Ah well, who knows what might transpire in the near future.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Although I remain an ignorant "Newbie", I am attempting to give you a break down on what is expected of you, should you wish to enter the online world of Affiliate Marketing.

Firstly, there seems to be a need for large online businesses to outsource their advertising.  That is where the Affiliate Marketer comes in.

The Internet has become the no.1 advertising agent for online businesses, who are desperately needing their companies to be promoted.  So you research a company, decided whether or not it is worth promoting, write up a short promotional ad and post it to as many search engines as possible, thereby increasing the company's exposure.

You get paid for any sales your ad may have secured, however their is a method for success - so I would recommend you sign up for an online tutorial to get you started.  Knowing which business to promote can be tricky because you want to find the ones that pay their affiliates well.  Fortunately there are sites which list the most popular businesses to support and this is where you will find an array of businesses looking for promoters.

Oh so weary!

I am simply expressing the joys of motherhood to those who may sympathise with the perils of having sick children near by.  I have been vomited on more times than I care to remember. My youngest has almost mastered the art of projectile vomiting, which sends his older brothers leaping out of the way and running outside as fast as their little legs will carry them. My one consolation is that I, then, only have to deal with one little critter.

So, I now live with a delightful tangled mess of vomit infused hair on my head, I have several multi-coloured t-shirts with similar off white stains.  I wake up every hour or so to try and clean up, or at least try to salvage some kind of normal!  But when all is said and done, that little smile on that little face can still melt my heart, albeit for a split second before another bought of vomiting takes over.

Thank God - he gave us a sense of humour to cope!

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

Have you ever heard the comment that those people who can't actually do anything properly themselves decide to become teachers instead?  I am afraid I fall into that category, I became a business teacher in the hope of inspiring young minds to go out there and make something of themselves...........

Twelve years down the line and I haven't really attempted that good old thing called entrepreneurship yet.  Well that isn't strictly true, I have had limited success at flea markets, I did well at a book keeping course, but never actually got a business off the ground - mainly because I became terrified of causing some poor unfortunate soul to lose millions, through some fault of mine.  And, to top it all, I am no Domestic Goddess either!  However, one thing is in my favour: my ability to remain positive.

And so with that in mind I would like to inspire you with some great ideas for businesses, things to start at home.  Such as starting a Day Care, hundreds of parents need good, solid home-based care for their children and are prepared to pay top dollar for the service.  A parents peace of mind is priceless.

Or you could turn your love for crafts into a business and offer lessons from home, scrapbooking is a great way to meet and mingle with other mums, so why not make a little money while you are at it?

On the other hand if you have a love for cooking why not start your own catering company, and turn your passion into a thriving business.

Remember good entrepreneurs often start with what they know, then what they love and then create a masterpiece..............you'll never know until you try.

Making money on the Internet

I have a sneaking suspicion that there is an unbelievable amount of money to be made on the internet!  However, I also suspect that the key to the coffers is well and truly guarded!  Now don't get me wrong I understand that to succeed one needs to put in the time and effort and learn the ropes, which I am more than happy to do.  I must confess though, it would be nice to have a little internet faerie appear and guide me through the maze of madness.
Since that is unlikely to happen I will try and offer some good starting points to those who are following the same course of action as I am - desperate to create a little income from home.  Here are some useful websites, which offer good training to the mere mortal:

1. My-Data-Team Global Data Entry & Traditional Data Entry
2. Profit Articles - Work-from-Home Article Typing
3. Web Colleagues Real Type at Home Data Entry Partnerships

I will keep looking for good sites to follow up on.
