Hello everyone. I haven't been here in quite a while. I work full time and I go to school full time also. I was able to find a nice place to live and was planning to quit my job and just attend to school. I get scholarships and grants in excess of tuition, so I figured I'd be able to live off that. I put in my notice at work and my last day was supposed to be January 31, but my employer extended it through February. I had been trying to get pregnant for a long time and it wasn't working. So I gave up last month. Well apparently giving up on everything was the answer. I'm pregnant. But Im not going to have a job much longer. I will have insurance through the college but I feel that I need to be able to earn extra money for the unexpected, plus I will want to buy all kinds of baby stuff. I've done some stuff online here and there and earned a little bit of money, but not enough to do anything with. So, Im asking anyone who knows some really good ways that would help me out.

Hi klw
Congratulations on your pregnancy. It's a great gift from God.
Yes, there are some good ways to earn online, but first you would need to find your skills like what are you good at.
If you're good at making crafts or crocheting or cross-stitching, then you could sell them online. If you think you can do transcription work, you can check out my profile for freelance transcription work. If you think you are good at writing articles, there are many sites that lets you earn through revenue sharing or you can even get paid for writing articles for others.
These are some of the things that I can suggest to you right now as I don't know what skills that you have.

The last 10th years, I have spent working in a Jail. I do have a lot of clerical abilities, type approximately 60 words per minute. I am attending college now working on my bachelors in psychology. I do Excel in most of what I do. Gambling is not a good thing for me because of this drive. I would absolutely loose everything because I won't quit. I can write some, but I have to go from facts, not imagination. When I was using mylot before there were lots of good sites suggested and I've continued to use some here and there. I know that my current work environment would be too stressful with the pregnancy. I am also diabetic and have high blood pressure coupled with my age adds a lot of risks. So looking back I know that it was truly a blessing from God and I know that working a full time job or not, he will still provide for all my needs. I am very excited and I am ready for a break from inmates. I do goto school 3 days a week and I'm there for almost 6hrs. I have worked nights most of the last 10years, so online work will allow me to work a more open schedule. Thanks for your comments.

Since you can type fast, why not just try the transcription work that I suggested to you. You can find it on my profile. You're just like me. I do write too but with facts, so I'll do a lot of research before I start writing. Maybe you can try www.iwriter.com because they are looking to hire writers to write articles and the pay is not that bad there.

I heard some people are doing data entry, but some says its illegal because there is no reason for entering these data. I suggest you to look for other legal sites, as I see that you are pregnant, you can't go out and work as usual, it would be tiring and exhausting, so work at home is the easiest and suitable job for you, at the same time studying for the exams.

There are not many great ways to make money quite easily...it is going to be tough and real toil and labor. Easy money goes easily. Hence there is absolutely no way of making money in an easy manner.

It's quite tough to earn online, you need to find the right websites that make you most comfortable to earn from. Some sites may not be for you while others are. I'll name a few for you to try and experiment with. If you have some sort of skill like programming or writing, then you can take a look at odesk, freelance and iwriter. Employers post jobs there and you can go on ahead and see if you can do those jobs. But the employers will need to see your work or interview you. For iwriter, there's a set of instructions, you follow and write an article which is much easier. Postloop is just like Mylot but it pays a lot better but the catch is your grammar has to be good so they will review your first 10 posts. Gev forum is pretty high paying too for each post. Now if you prefer answering questions, try weegy. If you're just a beginner writer, then start with wikinut, Hudpages or squidoo. If you want to play games for money, there's secondlife, dungeons and treasures or anno1777. If you want to review music, try Slice the Pie. There's heaps more, just keep searching.

If you are going to have monstrous lots of free time, why don't you start a blog? Or maybe a vlog? You could also try writing articles for sites like triond, and persuading other people to join sites like neobux under you.

I would love to help you concerning making money online,but I am also new to internet. I found out really hard because of the fear of deception sites.Before I join I've researched and reviewed all legit sites. Putting my all effort is really stressful. You need to patience before earning huge amount. Some say they easily earned, when I tried it really untrue especially when you are new to online.

good day klw5000,
with reference to your main topic discussion, aside from other sidelines where you can earn, you can also dwell some earnings online. as there are some good sites where you can have an added income. and these added online earnings will somehow help you if you are staying at home since you are pregnant. all you have to do is just to spend maybe a half day on the internet then that's it, earnings will just credit to you slowly but surely.
cheers.

If you want to make money, get a money making press. If you want to earn money, get a job or invest in the market, maybe open up a small buisness in sales. Also, working in sales is great to get a lot of money, if you work well, you get a lot of comissions money which is always welcome!
