Well I have some good news today, looks like we will be moving into our own place on the weekend. Hubby and I are going to put a deposit on a small suite we found this past weekend. I will finally have a space where I can set up my computer and be able to spend time on it anytime I want. That is going to be just great!
In the spirit of having a place to telecommute I went on a search for websites with telecommuting or work from home lists. I found two that I was able to spend time on today and check out. They seem to offer some interesting leads for one who is looking to telecommute. I will list them at the bottom of the page for anyone interested in checking them out as well.
One website was a Canadian based website offering work from home positions-indeed.com. The other site was jobboom.com. They too offered jobs that where Canadian. So when I get settled I will definitely spend more time on these sites for my telecommuting job search.
Here are the links to the above two sites. If you have any experience with these sites please let me know what your experience has been. Good or bad, I am really interested in any information you can give me about these sites.

Happy reading! Have a great day!

Are you thinking about telecommuting as a way to generate income while staying at home? This is certainly one option open for those who need to earn a pay-cheque but are unable to leave home either because you have young children at home or you are physically disabled and find it hard to get out to get to a job.
I currently find myself in a dilemna-I need to be able to bring in some type of income from home and now am finding that I have limited time to spend on the computer. We are currently living with family members and I am able to use their computer, but it is difficult finding time when it is quiet enough or not so many people around. So if I am having trouble now with just finding time to blog here I certainly will not be able to find the time to use the computer long enough to work 4-8 hours a day. Hubby and I are working on changing this. So hopefully soon I will have my own computer room and will be able to spend the time I need to do a telecommuting job.
For those of you who do have the time and and office or some quiet space to work from to telecommute, I found a site which offers blogging jobs. You can sign up with them and receive a basic package for only $14.95 per month and receive the same fantastic features and excellent customer service as with the Premium subscription, which is priced at $49.95, but on a month to month basis. You can click their link here for more information.

Happy reading and have a great weekend.

While doing research on freelancing and where to find jobs for myself that I can do from home I came across an interesting article about something that I had never given any thought to before.
Do you know how to set up a freelancing contract? Well I had not even thought about needing a contract for freelancing work done from home. This article gives great advice on how to create a freelancing contract. ( I will post link at the bottom of this post.)
There seems to be so much to learn or know when working from home. Researching a topic, such as freelancing, can be a useful tool to use before just jumping into something and realizing you have no idea what you are doing. Using a freelancing contract may save you a great deal of grief should your endeavor not turn out as planned.

Well it has been some time since my last post. I had a great time at my sister-in-laws wedding. It was so great to see her walk down the aisle.
Now it is back to finding something I can do from home that will generate income. Today I found some great sites that offered freelance writing jobs and something that I had not even thought about. I had never thought of taking a course to show me how to become a freelance writer, but that is exactly what I found during my search. http://www.icslearn.ca/freelance/index.html. They do ask for payment of $988.00 for the course but offer payment plans and a discount depending on your payment plan. This may be something that one would want to take a look at if you had the finances to do so.
Writersmarket.com offers you a chance to get published and paid for your writing. There is a payment associated with this, however they say they offer payment plans. http://writersmarket.com/?r=wmlppcy.
I also found Freelance Writing Organization-Int’l. They offer a variety of authoritative writing resources inside a searchable database. This is free. http://www.fwointl.com/index.html.
If you want to write to generate income from home you may find something at one of these sites that would be a benefit to you and your freelance writing career. Good luck in your endeavors! Have a great day!
