Getting a website or blog: where do I start?

Should I get a website or a blog? What do I need to do? Basic costs for a website are the domain registration, the hosting, the design of the pages, and uploading it to the host server. It is possible to get your website designed by one person, hosted with another, and to get the domain registered through yet another, but it makes sense for just one person to handle all three areas. GET YOUR TEENAGERS THEIR VERY OWN 40-PAGE WEBSITE FOR CHRISTMAS – OR GIVE AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT TO ANYONE DURING ANY MONTH OF THE YEAR – OR GET ONE FOR YOURSELF! If finding that somebody offering all three services is rather expensive in one or more of the areas, then decide if you want to rather have different people … Read entire article »

Make money from organizing activities at kiddies parties

Ok, this is not exactly “work at home” as organizing activities at kiddies parties generally means you go to the house the party is at. If you’re pretty good with kids, or have at least helped occupy your little brothers or sisters, or your nephews or nieces, or little second or third cousins, or your own kid’s friends when they visit your house, or even helped out at school athletics days, you can organize activities at kiddies parties. Before the first time you actually go to a kiddies’ party, get yourself a little organized and prepared. It will help to have some sort of theme in mind, that you will generally always stick to. Let’s use the idea of “a fun athletics day” for kiddies, for this example. Little kids love … Read entire article »

Why we feel our work from home ideas are different

It’s not that we feel our work from home ideas on our various blogs and sites are different from any other work from home ideas on other sites, so much, it’s just that we’ve been there – been in a situation where we desperately need to improve our income – or even get some income in the first place! We’ve been desperate enough to make the effort to actually try something out, to do it, instead of merely just reading about work from home ideas, and think about “one day” starting something like that. We’re also proud that we write fairly well, and are detailed. We describe what people can do, in detail, and hope that some people will make the effort to follow the instructions they read about on our … Read entire article »

PPPPP Plenty of Pips in a Paw-Paw equals Pots of Profit

Okay, a paw-paw (papaya) is not the cheapest fruit around, but buy just one paw-paw, eat it and enjoy it, and then enjoy it further – and profit from it – by making money from its pips. How? There are loads of pips in a paw paw. Each one can grow into a paw paw tree, bearing more paw paws that you can sell. Don’t want to wait that long? Then sell little pawpaw trees in pots! The pots for your pawpaw trees don’t even have to be real pots – they can be plastic plant bags you purchase at a nursery or at some hardware stores. Short on cash? Then just plant the pips in regular plastic packets you already have in your house, or ask for extra packets next time you go grocery shopping (about … Read entire article »

How can you make money with what you are good at?

Don’t you dare say you can’t or that you’re good at nothing! And also don’t say, well I used to do this or that, but I’ve lost that talent now, or I’m out of practice. Everyone is good at something, and some are lucky enough to be good at a whole bunch of things. Now why not turn what you’re good at into making some extra money for yourself? You may even discover it could turn into a fulltime work at home job. Now the thing is, is to be creative. Don’t just think “Well, I’m good at massaging my spouse’s feet, so what can I do with that? Nothing!” Get out a notebook and pencil, or start typing a page of ideas on your computer. Take just one thing at a time … Read entire article »

You’re so desperate for money that you’re reading this on somebody else’s computer

You don’t have your own computer. You don’t have enough money to get yourself your own computer. Yet. You want to make money; you need a job; you’re searching for ideas on the Internet on a friend’s computer or at an Internet Cafe – or perhaps you don’t even have the money to spend even an hour online at an Internet Cafe, and some kind soul or friend is showing you this. Or you’re involved with a charity that is helping others become self-employed, and you’re looking for ideas. Ok, so this blog post is not really, then, for those who already have their own computers, and access to the Internet. It’s for people who are pretty desperate: perhaps you don’t have a car? perhaps you are sharing a house or flat with somebody … Read entire article »

Why do people want to work for us?

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK WE ARE A LARGE COMPANY? From time to time we get an email job application or enquiry, from people looking for work, and who want to work for us. The reply we send them usually looks something like this (but in future, we will probably just send job seekers to this page you’re on now): Dear job seeker Thank you for contacting us. The contents of your CV and cover letter are good, but we have never yet offered anyone a job with us. It’s just two of us, working from home as freelancers. And we’re happy to continue working with just this little two-man staff. You’re not the first to contact us looking for employment. We think that perhaps just because we have some websites and blogs, and a bit of a … Read entire article »

Breeding dogs for an extra income from home

If you love dogs, and have a large yard with a high wall or a good fence, and you can take good care of dogs, then why not consider breeding dogs for a bit of an extra income? Once you are sure your city or town, or the area in which you live allows you to keep quite a few dogs on your premises, perhaps consider starting small: you don’t have to have purebred dogs to start out – as long as there are quite a few people you are in contact with, or if you’re happy to do a bit of advertising, because cute puppies sell! It may also be a good idea to start your dog breeding business with small dogs that don’t eat too much! You don’t want the … Read entire article »
