We all say we want to make money. What are we willing to do to make money? Have you given this any thought? I recently did some soul searching on this subject for myself. What I realized is that is I wanted to make money to help support my family but I realy didn't want to go out side the home to do it. I like being home. I am not really all that comfortable in public. If I found a way to make money on line then I can kind of just hide out here in my house and not have to go out to the work force outside. It is so stressful out there. Does anyone else feel that way? I found many sites to make a few dollars on but I didn't always get paid for my hard work. It sure was a comfortable fit though. Quietly clicking away with no one to bother me. After much frustration with feeling like I was wasting my time I decided it was time to stretch and grow I guess you could say. So now I have a job I can go out to the big old world to do and also do as well on the internet. I guess you could say I have the best of both worlds and am much happier doing it. How about you; have you given much thought into why you will spend many hours clicking on a paid site before you will go out and find a job that pays outside the home?

BRAVO for you that you were able to find a job! I lost my job over a year ago and still have yet to find one. Here, what few jobs are available are applied for by over 200,000 unemployed in the nearby metro area alone. Being 50+ in age doesn't help much, either, when in the OSU college town. Reality: most often, sweet young things will be hired before the aged.
In the past year or more I have become a professional application filler-outer and resume writer. I have applied, without exaggeration to over 1,000 jobs since my unemployment began, online and offline, and have been on a few hundred face-to-face and telephone interviews.
In the meantime, I have also started my own web hosting and design business, as well as starting up a shop at CafePress where I market my poetry and design projects, and I freelance on various networks and blogs for cash. A gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do!
I consider myself quite fortunate not to be homeless, thanks to my housemate and friend covering whatever portion of my share of the bills I cannot pay during this time. This friend is also supportive in my dreams to make it in the design and writing world, which enables a bit of stress relief during these rough times.

Oh my gosh.. no no it is Bravo to you! You are doing all that and following your dreams of writing and oh my gosh your a poet! You have the brains to start your own web hosting and design business. I have no clue about those things. You have design projects; I need to check that out? I love that you can do all that. Amazing! Not to mention you have great friends which is priceless! I know my internet/home business can help you to if your interested. It will help you get through until your other passions make it for you. I am so so excited for you!

I have also wasted much time online without reaping any benefit. But now I am desperate and have become a little managed. It saves a lot of time and effort if we are well managed and can balance our time between different activities we do.
I also don't like to go out to earn money but I think its not going to happen and I will have to search for a office job soon.

I always wish to have a job out there but there is none for me. I am not driving and that is the most reason why I did not dare to apply a job outside home. Yes my option is to make money online though I earn just few bucks but I am glad I do. You have boss to be sacred of, no time to stress you out. It is very comfortable. There are some sites that are promising but you have to spend more time in them in order to make money. Freeland writing is the best way.

Money is the need of time, and nowadays without money, we are nothing. Today in the society, Only those people are respected, who has got some money.
as far as you are behavior is concerned. So I think there's some problem with your confidence level, When it comes to being out there in the market or in a crowded place. I think you should feel okay with that. I mean, don't make the Internet your only way of income. I know you are a hard working person and you can find jobs and you can make money , easily. But what if the money that you earn on the Internet is not enough? so I think this should be more than one sources for making money.

Thank you for that. I appreciate your comment and I think you are right. I felt I needed a balance in my life. So I was able to choose a business that I can sell on line to earn income and to go out to the world as well. I can spend a little time on this job or a lot of time depending on how much money I am hoping to make. So I feel I have a good balance right now. If your interested you can check my web page. Do you have a good job you are happy with?

Hi coffeeAnyone...
i understand how you feel and i too are struggling to provide for my family who live in the village. i think doing business online is possible as long as you chose the right one. I have recently joined a site which is trust able and i am happy sitting in front of my laptop thinking of the possibility of making money. i think it is a good thing to be positive and don't lose hope. I would like to invite you to check on my website. just go to my profile and check it out...may be some people avoid investing on something but i've seen my friends succeed and i feel sorry for myself for not starting early.

Absolutely I will check out your site. Although I am so happy with my new business I am open to something else as well. My business doesn't take that much time so I have time for something else good in my life as well. Plus I like variety. Not to say my business couldn't take more time. It just depends on how much time and money someone wants to make. Are you making good money to help your family?
