Talk Home Business Forum

Ok, today I’m going to tell you again about the Talk Home Business Forum. It really is a wonderful place to hang out. The Administrators and Moderators are very helpful, and the community is growing really well. There are alot of home business owners and work at home moms and dads that really contribute to the site. The members list is over 2900 right now, and the 3000th person to register will receive a special prize. Now, be honest, aren’t you just the teensiest bit curious? Prizes are great for the monthly competitions, I recently won $25 cash, so I can’t imagine how great the prize for being the 3000th member will be. Go on over and register, it’s free, and if you win, be sure and let me know what your prize is. I’m really curious!

I’ve been so Busy Writing

Now, I know that I just posted the Blogrush post, but I wanted to tell you all why I haven’t been posting alot lately. I have been so busy with writing jobs that I’ve gotten lately. Most of them have come from Digital Point Forums. I have gotten several there this week alone, and have made a pretty decent amount of income from them. You really should sign up for the DP Forum. It’s completely free, and there are loads of people looking for writers. Just sign up, then go to Buy/Sell/or Trade, and then to services. The writing jobs will be listed under Content Creation. Also, I’ve gotten alot of jobs from Get A Freelancer. Some of these jobs are in the upwards of $200 category. I’ve done alot of work from the GAF site since I started my freelancing career. It’s also a free signup, so go there now, and who knows, you may have a paying writing gig by the end of the day. And be sure to visit Talk Home Business. Those guys over there are great! They have helped me so much with my work at home business. You never know what you can accomplish unless you get started. So, these are my three favorite spots to hang out. If you started hanging out there today, you could be well on your way to working from home tomorrow

BLOGRUSH

Ok, so I came across this great site for bloggers. It’s called Blogrush and they help you get traffic to your blog. They use a Syndicated Credit System. So, your blog gets shown on the widget once, every time someone sees the widget on your site. Simply put, that just means that if you show the widget on your site, then your blog will be shown on someone else’s site. You could end up with lots of extra traffic to your blog. It sounds like a good system to me, so I put the widget on here. I’ll let you know how well it works in a few days. In the meantime, feel free to visit the blogs listed in the widget, after all, if we help people with their blogs, then they’ll help us with ours By the way, sign-up in Blogrush is completely free, so feel free to click on the link and sign up. It could be very beneficial to your traffic!

Freelance writing can be a very rewarding career, both emotionally and financially. If you enjoy writing, then freelancing could be a very lucrative choice for your at home job. Of course, if you enjoy writing, like I do, then writing doesn’t even seem like a job. It seems more like you’re making money for having fun. I got started with writing several months ago thru Associated Content. You can write articles for them, and they’ll pay you and publish your articles. Now, don’t expect to get rich with AC, but it’s an excellent place to test the waters. Plus, you’ll have a content producer page that you can use for reference to show off your work to potential clients. I also include my AC link when I need to show samples of my work. It’s a good thing to have a few pieces published, it shows that you’re serious about your writing, and that you’re established. Go on over to Associated Content and set up a Free account. It doesn’t cost anything, and who knows, you could even make a little money. It’s a great place to get your writing career started. And be sure to let me know if you do, and I’ll be sure to read your articles. They offer a performance bonus for your content views, so let me know that you’re producing articles, and I’ll read them
Have a great day, and good luck on your new Writing Career.

Okay, here’s a tip. Get A Freelancer has hundreds upon thousands of freelancing opportunities. It’s free to register. You can choose to be a Gold Member for $12 per month, although it’s not required. It does probably look better to people looking for service providers, but I have gotten a few projects before I decided to upgrade, so you can register, and be a free member until you get some gigs going, and then decide to upgrade if you want. I have gotten a total of 3 long term writing opportunities using GAF, and I’ve also gotten several short term projects. If you’re looking to start freelancing, GAF is the absolute first place that I’d recommend you start looking for projects. And since it’s free to join, you really have nothing to lose, except for the 5 minutes that it takes you to sign up. Go on over to GAF and look at some of the projects that are posted, and see if maybe you’re qualified or interested in doing any of them. You can get paid thru paypal, and if you win enough project bids, you can be freelancing full time in no time.

Scam Alerts!!

Probably one of the most scary things about working from home, either at a job, or starting your own online business, is the knowledge that there are people in the world who are very happy to scam you and take your money. I’ve seen it happen, it’s even happened to me.
You can, however, check out various sites before you invest any time or money into them. Research is always the best thing to do before you start on an online adventure. Now, I said that to say this, THB has a spot for scams. It’s a little corner all to itself, that’s dedicated to keeping you informed of any known scams that the members may have encountered. And even if you have a question about a company that’s not listed, you just have to ask and any THB member will gladly give you all the information that they have. Everyone there is honestly just there to help each other, and watch each other’s backs. So, if you are planning to start an online job or business, you really need to protection from scams that you can get from THB. The members there are ready and willing to lend any help that you may need.

Ok, if you haven’t already, you really need to read what’s written in this article on the THB Blog. It has everything that you need to know to help you with your home business. Fendi lists many ways to help you promote your online business that are easy to understand, things like MySpace and Squidoo. Now, if you don’t know what either of those are, then head on over and read Fendi’s great article at the THB Blog right now. I’m telling you, Talk Home Business is the best forum to join for working from home, or home business. Join the forum, ask questions, it’s easy and free, and you will be so glad you did.

I have a few resources for writers that I’d like to share with you. Now, keeping in mind that 6 months ago, I didn’t have a clue how to start writing for a living. Now, I do. Writing is basically all I do now, and I wanted to share a few places that were really helpful to me when I started.

1) Get A Freelancer – Registration is free, and you can bid on projects that you want to do. They have all sorts of projects from re-writing articles to web page design. Whatever you like to do or can do well, they probably have it. You can browse thru literally thousands of jobs, and most pay thru Paypal.

2) Associated Content – If you have a passion for writing, then Associated Content is the place to go. You write articles about whatever you want, and they pay you for them. Now, keep in mind that they don’t pay alot of money, normally between $3 and $20, depending on the article. But it’s a great place to get your foot in the door, and you can use your Publisher’s Page as a reference when applying for other writing jobs. They also pay thru Paypal.

3) Paypal – If you haven’t noticed, most online companies pay thru Paypal. If you don’t have a Paypal account, you really should get one. It will make it much easier to collect your payments when you do a project.

4) THB Blog – Don’t forget to check out Fendi at the THB Blog. He has lots of brilliant ideas and great tips for working from home and starting an online business. Leave him a comment, and tell him that Vanessa said HI!

Ok, that’s it for now, but don’t worry, I have ALOT of more writer’s resources that I’ll be bringing you. I also plan to publish resources for other jobs, like Customer Service, Data Entry, Transcription…..
Just keep checking back, I’ll be posting daily!!
