Be Recession Proof by Working From Home!

Aloha and Happy Holidays,

I come from the Mainland, where it would actually be cold enough to have snow on the mountain, and even on the beach back in 1976! No, I will not tell you my age! We would go to the mountains and cut our own tree. It was so much fun! Here, Island Style, it is Mele Kelikimaka and Santa is on a surfboard! Over the years I have lived here I have gotten used to it and it actually does feel Christmasy with 75 degree weather. The trees have to be shipped in and one year a week before Christmas, they ran out of trees, and those who had them left were charging up to $150 per tree! That was about 5 years ago, so that may be normal now, as far as pricing goes!

The economy and having money to spend at this season leaves a lot to be desired. You can no longer count on showing up to work everyday on time and do a good job for job security. As you know, many Companies that were always American icons, have closed down. People don't have jobs. The Unemployment rate is up and that is a known fact as many of the unemployed ran out of unemployment and are now on Welfare. There is no middle class. I don't understand what middle class is! You either have or you are struggling financially. -->

More and more Americans are turning to the Internet to make an Income, either part time or full time from home. For that extra $500 per month to supplement your income to full time workers who have more than one income stream. If one stream dries up, you still have income streams that are making money for you.

What are you good at? Can you write? Can you type? Can you copy and paste? What do you enjoy doing? Maybe you have an existing business offline that you would like to bring online to create more exposure and more income! The possibilities of making money from home are limitless! 


What are the advantages of earning extra income from home? You are your own boss. You set your hours. Many Moms that stay at home are turning to the Internet to make extra cash and be home with the children. When you are researching what you what to do online, check for online scams. Simply enter into Google Search Box "online scams." Also check with the Better Business Bureau. Do you know anybody that is making a decent living working from home online? Ask for some body's advice that is already doing it and succeeding. Don't get into anything you can not afford. Just as an offline business, an online business, needs a budget. You need to advertise. You can do this for free, but it will definitely take you longer. If you can buy in at a higher level to an affiliate program that you know is not  a get rich quick scheme, that would be much faster than free! 

It is do able to earn from home and to actually reach the lifestyle that you want for yourself and for your family. Have the mindset of a millionaire and get to work! The most important thing is, don't give up after six months and you are not making six figures yet! As in all things in life worth while, it takes time, and learning from your mistakes!

Feel free to contact me if you would like some help in getting started!

Get Paid to Blog!

Aloha!

It is that time of the year again, the Holiday Season! I love the lights, the feeling of goodwill, the spirit of giving rather than receiving!

I love to blog and write articles online. I have always loved writing and never thought that I could actually get paid for writing, and actually earn some extra Christmas Cash!
-->
There are many sites that you can use to write a blog. Start with Google. Here it is very easy to set up a blogging account. Go to your Google account, sign in, and look at the toolbar directly above your screen.

If you do not have a Google Account, it is very easy to get one. Just put "Google" into your search box and hit the search button. (Usually looks like a little magnifying glass!) Or just hit the enter key on your computer. Fill out the requested information follow the instructions on your screen that  guide you. You can have as many email accounts as you like at Gmail.

You can use one just for your blogging and article writing. Make sure you white list the email you will receive from Google Blogger, and any article writing sites you submit to.

What do you consider yourself to be an "expert" at? You want your blogs to be from 200 to 600 words in length and be full of keywords that will drive traffic to your blog. You can use the Google Keyword Tool for this. Because everything is tied together at Google, you can also sign up for a Google Ad Words account to advertise and Google Ad Sense, which will monetize your blog.

There is much more information on creating income from home and earning Holiday money to make sure that you have the happiest and best Holiday Season ever!

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous Holiday Season!
