Seeking Work From Home!!

Once again Friday rolls around and I feel as though I have been doing the same thing to many times. So I would like to change things up a bit today and post some interesting quotes I found on goals, success, dreams, fear and motivation. Enjoy!

The future you see is the future you get. Robert G Allen - GoalsFear melts when you take action towards a goal you really want.Robert G Allen - Goals - FearTwenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain - Now - Regret - Dreams - Disappointment - Encouragement Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Mark Twain - Ambition - Pessimistic - Great - Motivational
All you need is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.
Mark Twain - Confidence - Ignorance - SuccessI teach something called The Law of Probabilities, which says the more things you try, the more likely one of them will work. The more books you read, the more likely one of them will have an answer to a question that could solve the major problems of your life.. make you wealthier, solve a health problem, whatever it might be.

As I have not been spending much time  job searching, I decided that today I had better do a job search to see if I could find something new or interesting. I found two sites today: snagajob.com and 4jobs.com.

Snagajob is free. To sign up all you do is fully complete a profile. Once this is done you just search for full or part-time jobs and apply. Once you apply you then wait for employers to contact you. This site offers more than just a job board it also offers job advice tips and videos and information on online degrees. The down side, for me anyway,  is that these job listings are only for the US. For me to work for an American company it would have to be online, because of the commuting distance to and from work. However, if you have not checked them out and are looking for work you may find something at snagajob.com. http://www.snagajob.com/

4jobs.com is also free and easy. You don’t need to sign up to get to the job boards, however you can sign up to join their community. 4jobs.com have much to offer for someone looking for work including career resources, personal assessments, online career portfolio and much more. Here you can also post your resume. The great thing for me is that 4jobs.com has a listing of national online jobs as well. If you are looking for online work or something that gets you out of the house you might want to check them out. http://www.4jobs.com/

Happy job searching! Have a great day!

It is Sunday today, last week is over and done and this week is just beginning. I wanted to take some time today to look over what has been happening with this blog. My traffic has been slowly growing so today when I checked out my stats I could not believe what I saw. WOW, I had 90 people here yesterday! That is the most readers I have ever gotten and I was wondering what I had done do get the traffic increase. I checked it out and it seems that Friday I did something a little different by posting a YouTube video on making money online. It really does pay to do something different if you want to generate traffic.

I also wanted to take a little time today to respond to a comment left on my January 22/10 post about blogsvertise and payperpost. The comment stated that payperpost was now inlinks. Because I was curious I had to check this out, I found they are two different things. This is the link to payperpost:  https://payperpost.com/ , you get paid for your blog posts. Here is the link for inlinks:  http://www.inlinks.com/, here you are paid for in-text ad links-this is different from payperpost.

So now with the new week starting let me see if I can continue to learn and keep this blog growing. Happy reading! Have a great week everyone!

It is Friday today and I wanted to do something a little different here. I was doing some blog hopping yesterday, looking for something other than work from home blogs to read, and came across a video from YouTube which got me thinking….I have only been on YouTube once to see something that my hubby had heard about. I began to wonder if I was missing something. Today I went to YouTube and found this work from home video on how to make money online with no upfront costs. Sounds to good to be true I know, but I watched it anyway. I would like to share it with you today, because I liked the background music.

Due to problems associated with hip surgery over two years ago I find myself disabled and not able to work outside the home. I have been on the hunt for a work from home job that I can do which does not require me to pay money upfront. It is an arduous task and so far I have not found anything that matches my requirements. That is not to say that there are not jobs out there that do not ask for payment upfront, it just means that those offered do not match my requirements. I have applied to one site that offered work from home job listings but from my experience there was a lot of red tape I need to work through to be able to work for them. For me to start to work for them would have required increasing my computers memory capacity and adding on some very expensive tools. If I would have done all of this there still would not have been any guarantee of getting hired by the companies on their board.So what am I looking for in a work from home job? That seems to be the question I ask myself a great deal lately. Here is my answer to that question. I am looking for something that I can do using my computer (as is-I have no $$$ to add on anything extra unless the hiring company is willing to pay for the upgrade), it can not be too technical (I will zone out when confronted with too much techie stuff), it has to be done from home (I will find it difficult to go to office for meetings or general chats), I don’t want to jump through too many hoops (my disability makes jumping awkward). Now here is a question for you readers. Do you know of any work from home jobs that match my requirements?

Today I spent some time checking out my account on blogsvertise. I signed up with them a lonnnng time ago and have only had one response from them. I wanted to see what was happening and so I emailed them asking them what was happening, why no assignments. I know that I will not get much $$$ from a site like this but then I would like an opportunity to see if blogging for pay will actually work for me. If I am not getting any response from blogsvertise I might as well cancel my account with them or at least quit checking back.

Another site which I checked out today was payperpost. I had tried to sign up with them some time ago but at the time the blog I submitted did not qualify. So I had a big surprise today in that there have been some changes to this site since my last visit. Some of the changes to payperpost include: no more busy dashboard, no more Advertiser-set prices, no more waiting for blog approval! These seem like great changes that may make blogging for pay easier, so I signed up and am now waiting to see if I get anyone wanting to advertise on my blog. I hope I have better luck with payperpost then with blogsvertise. Wish me luck in my blogging for pay endeavors.

Have a great weekend everyone!

So my search continues for a work from home job. I spent time today on bloggeries.com, whydowork.com, and mylogblog.com in an effort to bring traffic to this site. I have also made some changes to this site so if you have been here before you may notice them and if you have not been here before I hope you enjoy your visit. While I was on mylogblog.com I came across some statistics for the top rated work from home blogs. There were two of them listed webtrafficroi.com and qualityarticlessite.com. I will post there links at the end of this post.

I had not thought that work from home blogs would generate such a following as to be top rated, but maybe with the economy the way it is there are more people looking for work from home positions. Well my search continues and so do my efforts to bring current topics on work from home blogs or sites to this blog. As promised here are the links to the two top rated work from home blogs:

Blogging for pay sounds very easy. All you have to do to get paid is write some blog posts, and you know you can write, so this should be a piece of cake. Well blogging for pay can be a daunting task which takes time. It is not as easy as writing a post (when writing please watch grammar). For a blog to have good earning potential you need traffic. Traffic is not easy to get and this is what takes the time. You need to promote your blog vigilantly. This should become a daily task and if you don’t have time to do it daily set aside at least three days a week for this. If you take the time, blogging for pay can be a fun and rewarding experience.

To increase traffic to a blog you may need to join a forum for the niche you are blogging about. I joined a work from home forum just today called whydowork.com. Here they also list work from home jobs as well as the forum posts. I will need to see how this affects traffic in the next while to see how it affects my efforts at blogging for pay. As well as joining this forum today, I joined bloggeries.com some time ago and noticed that traffic does indeed increase when I use this site. On this site though you need to have 15 posts before your blog is listed. I believe that I have reached this limit so I will be watching to see if this changes my traffic or not. I also use linkreferral.com. On this site I get to view and review others blogs and they view and review mine.

Yes blogging for pay can be a daunting and time consuming task, but the effort I put in will hopefully pay off.

Happy reading!

Are you afraid of success? Most people would find this a funny question to ask because the belief is that people are always looking for success and would they look for something they are afraid of. No not really. It is not so much that we are afraid of success but of failure. This can be carried through to anything that we do including work from home options we may be trying out to generate extra income.

I found this quote today in one of the books I was reading and wanted to pass it on to you.

“You may be disappointed if you fail, but you will be doomed if you don’t try.”

Beverly Sills

I like this quote and look at it from time to time when I feel like things are not going quite the way I want or as fast as I would like and that I am never going to be successful at anything. When I feel this way it may be that I am becoming afraid of failure and not of success. If I truly want to achieve success then I must keep trying!

It appears to me that I have not done enough to generate traffic to this blog and I have not really said much here lately about what I am doing to generate traffic. So seeing as it is a new year with renewed spark to work from home, I want to rectify this today.

I have been doing some researching about search engines and how they work. I went on the addme.com site and found a wealth of information on this topic and many more. To increase traffic to a site they recommend listing it with search engine sites. Addme.com offers free site submission to 20 different search engines. So I submitted this blog today and I did something else. I read up on link popularity and they had a tool I used to check my link popularity. It appears it is low. From what I can figure out that is not a good thing. To generate traffic to your blog it needs to be popular and to make it popular it needs to have many back-links, at least more than I have. So I will try to rectify this now that I have a bit better understanding of how things work.

While I was on the addme.com site I also checked the keyword density for this blog on a tool that they had there. The keyword density gave me a keyword count (number of times keyword is used in my blog) and its density (in percentage). This was very helpful information for someone who still feels like I am terribly new to blogging and needs information on how to blog for pay.

So I feel like my day was quite productive and hopefully the information I gleaned will help me increase traffic to this site.

Have a great day! Happy reading!
