Working From Home - Another Reason Why!
2007-09-24 22:34:00
GM Workers Face Possible Strike!It really is a sad thing when your job security is dependent on someone or something else. In this case it being the company that you work for. Such was not the case in the past where when you had a job you would have that same job until you retired.The one interesting thing about this is if the workers do go on strike they will receive $200 a week in "strike" pay - that's the first time I have ever heard of someone being paid to be on strike. But since this is such a big union the funds to be able to pay such a salary is probably coming out of the membership dues that the workers are paying to the union.

What Does It Really Take To Be Making 6 Figures As A Service Professional?
2007-09-24 04:03:00
Here is an article that I found very interesting about giving advice for those that want to provide a profession service. Be prepared because this article is quite long but it is well worth the read!It has to take more than just declaring that you are a professional. You have to do the work that is involved with being able to maintain and grow your own business. If you are starting your business alone you will find that you will be wearing many "hats". You will also have to maintain a balance between your professional life and your personal life as well.So be sure to read the article mentioned above because it provides some very good tips for those that want to be professional.

"My Area Has More People Than Jobs......"
2007-09-20 23:05:00
"My area has more people than jobs...."I have seen this posted many, many times and as someone that is a Dream Job Consultant, the first thing that crosses my mind is that there is a job opportunity even in that!The first thing I think about when I see someone who has posted this kind of message is that this person either has access to their own computer or they have access to another person's computer. Now there are limitations when you have to work with someone else's computer but if you are using your own computer then you have a LOT that you can work with!Number 1 you could start a free blog on Blogger.com and use your blog to talk about the issue of there being no jobs in your area. Once you have added a few entries to your blog then you can apply for adsense and then you can start to earn money and get paid for having advertisements that people click on on your blog!But there is an even bigger picture here. Since this will be YOUR blog that means that you have control ove...

Do You Have An Interest In 3d?
2007-09-19 04:11:00
Here is an interesting affiliate program.Get 3D Models, 3D Content, and 3D Software at DAZ3D!Daz3d is a site that has to do with 3d designing. They have their own program call DazStudio which lets you do a lot with Poser characters. For a time this program was available for free.If you become a member (membership is free) you can also apply to be one of their affiliates. Once you have been approved you can paste the affiliate codes onto your site. However unlike the adsense program you have to make $100 during the quarter (not monthly like adsense) before you can have your payment paid to you via Paypal. You also have the option to use the earnings for "store credit" in order to buy things at Daz's website.So if you're into 3d designing this would be a good opportunity for you to get some added income.By the way, you can see my 3 designs by clicking here. I'm not ready for my first animated short but I have come a long way from Poser 1!

Do You Have A Computer?
2007-09-18 22:57:00
Never underestimate or overlook what one already has right under their own nose!One of the clients that I have is someone that I find the cheapest airfares for. I find the information for them and then print it out and give them a copy so that they will have a hardcopy of the information.Now on the surface this may not seem like much but again I say never underestimate or overlook what one already has right under their nose!You would think that with all the people that have computers at home (or at work) there wouldn't be a need for a service such as finding the cheapest airline flights - but there is! There are people that don't have a computer, they may have a computer but not use it for such things or they just don't want to go through the hassle of finding the information themselves - for whatever reason - there is still a market for this kind of service.If you know your way around a computer and you know your way around the internet then this is one of the services that yo...

How does a person with a felony find a job after he has served his time?
2007-09-15 21:54:00
How does a person with a felony find a job after he has served his time?One of the best places to find an answer to this question would be at Wiki.It may be hard for a convicted felon to find a job once he is out of jail - but it is not impossible. Some of the solutions include starting one's own business or even applying with someone who is just starting their own business. There are also some community programs that may be availabe in your area that have special programs that help with finding job opportunities. Such programs are funded by grant programs.

A Blog Consultant I was visiting one blog and that led to another blog which is by a Blog Consultant! He lives in the UK and what struck me about his blog was that he talked about how he secured a position to teach a blogging course in the UK.According to his blog the UK businesses haven't taken much to blogging like the US has taken to it.It just reminded me of how one's career can branch out into so many other opportunities!

"Can I Sit In Front Of My Computer And Make Money Online?"
2007-09-09 20:29:00
"Can I Sit In Front Of My Computer And Earn Money Online ?"This is a very interesting (and it is becoming a more frequent) question! In a word the answer is Yes - however there are many, many variables here!Answering this question quite literally you could sit in front of your computer, have a webcam and charge people for being able to view you - of course that is not everyone's "cup of tea" Webcam models are making a LOT of money online and I will leave a "tag" link at the bottom of this blog entry so that you can see some of the past posts that I have made concerning webcam models. But then complications arise because how are you going to accept payment? Paypal is very popular but Paypal will not accept transactions of a "sexual" nature. But there are other ways to accept payment simply because there are so many webcam models online who are accepting payments electronically. And like I mentioned before, webcam models are making a lot of money simply by having a webcam and a ...

My Internet Radio Station - LaMott, PA!
2007-09-02 16:10:00
Yesterday I uploaded some new music to my LaMott Radio station and it occurred to me that I haven't "tweaked" my station in a while!The most recent piece of music was sent to me by the A & R rep of an independent music label. I have a policy that states that all music submitted for review has to be sent via regular mail. That way I can review the material and if the song meets in with the station's format then I will add it to the playlist and all the materials submitted will be kept on file.I have talked about my internet radio station before and I mentioned all the different ways that one could use their own internet station to help them make money.Now since my internet station is on Live365.com, I cannot accept commercial advertisements. But I can accept advertising on the station's web page!I do have a radio station background because I worked as a DJ for many years and I like the thought of having my own Internet Radio station and one of the best reasons for this is that ...

Can You Make A Living From Blogging?
2007-09-01 16:27:00
Again another very interesting article about being able to make a living by blogging!I know a lot of people have often wondered if it was possible to be able to make a living from blogging and the answer is yes. But make no mistake - you definitely have to work at it!According to The Adsense Consultant "almost any blog has the potential to make money regardless of what the topic is about!". In other words almost any blog has the potential to make money even if it is a blog by a single mother who is just trying to make some extra money all the way to a person who thinks that they have nothing to blog about. (How about starting a blog about having nothing to blog about? or how about starting a blog to complain about something that you don't like?) The possibilities are endless and even then they are only limited by your imagination!So how do you make money with your blog? Well one of the best ways is to add Adsense ads to your blog. Again, here is a link to a blog post about ho...

Getting Paid For Answering Surveys Online - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly!
2007-08-27 03:24:00
Here is an interesting website that someone told me about. You get paid for answering surveys. They give you $6 to signup. But you should be aware of some things. First off they have 2 payment options - you can either get paid via a check in the mail though it takes 4-6 weeks to get it or you can get paid via your Paypal account. That's why I thought of this forum because so many people that post here have a Paypal account. First let me tell you that you have to accumulate $75 before you can cash out and be forewarned that if you option to take the paypal option $25 will be deducted. So if you cash out at $75 and use the Paypal option then the company will take out a $25 fee and you will only get $50.Now I did some research online and I found that the opinions of this program are about half and half. Some people complain about the program saying that they don't offer enough surves and there is are an equal number of people who have said that they have gotten their money.So you can...

"It Takes Money To Make Money"
2007-08-19 21:50:00
It may "take money to make money" but it doesn't necessarily have to be a lot of money!Many people start their businesses small and then gradually expand their business.I once helped someone with their upholstery business by putting flyers on parked cars and he actually got some calls and subsequent business from these flyers.How much would it take for you to make some flyers? You can design them on your computer (and use some of the software that came with your computer)and either make your own copies or go to a copy story and have them do it for a nominal fee.There are still a lot of people out there that think that they can't get a free website - which is absolutely untrue! There are quite a few free webhosting sites online where you can have your own website for free! You can also get a free blog as well because there are also a lot of free blog hosting sites out there as well.Don't think that you can have a "professional" site if your site is on one of the free web hostin...

Quick Ways For College Students To Make Money
2007-08-12 10:40:00
This is a blog post that I can't take credit for but it is a very good blog post about some good (and legitimate) ways that college students can make some quick money.While I do a lot of grant reasearch and I do know that there are also a lot of scholarship programs out there for those that are looking for ways to help them financially while they try to continue their studies. There has been a lot of information in the news lately about student loans and how much they are and how much they cost. Some students find that they aren't able to pay their student loans once they graduate college. Other students have had to rely on student loan consolidation companies that help them with paying back their student loans.So any way that a student can find to be able to legitimately make money both online and off is definitely information one should keep!Some of the suggestions may surprise you. They are not "get rich quick" or "make money online" scams. They are legitimate ways that on...

Becoming A Model
2007-08-10 21:52:00
I don't think it is an unrealistic goal to want to become a model. There are plus sized models and models shorter than 5 feet 4 inches tall. There are male models, older models and even disabled models.You can even be a model if you are underaged as long as your parents give their permission.Even though a lot of models have gotten their start by going to New York have you ever considered starting your modeling career in your own home town? You could model for clothing designers in your own home town. I have seen quite a few fashion shows on TV for my own local area so who is to say that there aren't any of these kinds of fashion shows in your own area? Do some checking around. Find the companies that are hiring models and check them out to see if they are legitimate. There is always at least one good lead that can lead you to a start in your modeling career.If you can't find any modeling opportunities then MAKD YOUR OWN MODELING OPPORTUNITIES! What do I mean by that? Wel...

3 Business That One Can Start Now

I can't take credit for this because this came from an article that I read on another site.It does have some very good ideas though.What is interesting to note here that starting a desktop publishing business is another one of those kinds of business that have always been suggested as a good business to start. You would think that with all the desktop-type publishing programs that are already on one's computer that everybody does their own desktop publishing - but they don't. That is where YOU could come in - with your desktop publishing business.

I saw one blogging job posted for the tv show "Ugly Betty"!But it's not just tv shows that are looking for bloggers. There are companies and businesses that are looking for bloggers too but they don't have the staff that are experienced with blogging so that's where YOU can come in.

A Parent Having To Stay Home To Take Care Of Their Sick Child?
2007-08-06 00:20:00
I saw a post from a woman who was asking about work at home opportunities so that she could work from home so she could be home to take care of her sick child. There are only a few legitimate work from home companies that I know of and I give that information to my clients when they are looking for such companies.But when I saw this woman's post (I did reply to her with the same information that I'm putting here) I thought of some things that she could do so that she could be able to work from home.My first thought was that she should start a blog and talk about how she has to stay at home and take care of a sick child. How many other parents are in the same position as her? Wouldn't they like to know about others that are in the same predicament as they are? If she started a blog about her experiences with having to take care of a sick child she could add adsense ads to her blog in order to be able to make some money with her blog.

Have You Ever Thought Of Starting Your Own Music Label?

I got an email from an aspiring singer who wanted help in spreading the word about her music. She does have a myspace page. But it did get me to thinking about how one could start their own record label.Many of the famous rap stars have started their own labels and they do it from the comfort of their own home! Now you may not have to the money to buy sophisticated equipment but you have some good tools right in front of you if your computer is relative new. You could record your songs and put them to CD and distribute/sell those CDs. Besides being a singer or musician you would also be a producer. You could get an internet radio station like mine and promote your own music! You could also create your own podcast for free and promote your own music.

"I Want To Become A Webcam Model"

I Want To Become A Webcam Model Like I have said many times before: Sex Sells!I guess that's why so many people are looking online to find out how they can become a webcam model. How do I know this? Because someone did a search for I Want To Become A Webcam Model on google and a link to my blog showed up on the first page of google's search engine results. That's my blog showing up on page one of over 2 Million other links!What's the lure of becoming a webcam model? Why do so many people (even males) want to become a webcam model? Maybe its just the lure of being able to make a lot of money in the privacy of one's own home. And guess what? No matter what your type there is probably a market out there for it! I have seen where a woman in her 70's runs a very successful website featuring herself and her webcam - so if you think that nobody would be interested in seeing you then you are probably wrong!So what does it take to become a sucessful webcam model?

What If You Wanted To Be A Fashion Designer?
2007-07-21 22:20:00
I have to change that title to: What If You Wanted To Be A SUCCESSFUL Fash ion Designer ?Well if you are starting from scratch one of the best things that you should do is get some designs created. Once you have designed some clothing take a picture of them and put them online on your own website or blog. As I have said many times before you can get a free website and a free blog.You also should try to sell your fashion designs on Ebay.Of course let's not overlook all the things that you can do offline as well.Design a business card. Design a flyer. Distribute both whenever and where ever you can!Also I am aware of some grant programs that you should apply for if you are seeking funding to start your fashion design business.What people don't seem to be aware of is that you have a lot of resources at hand to help you achieve the dreams that you desire.Instead of complaining what you can't do, be grateful for the things that you CAN do!

A Question Of Money!
2007-07-20 22:14:00
A lot of people want to work from home but the big question is the question of money.How soon you make money is going to depend on you!If you are going to quit your job then hopefully you will have some money saved to help support you for at least a year - but I know that a lot of people don't plan for that. How about continuing to work, saving money while you start your business on a part time basis?People seem to be looking for ways to work at home but they want to make money as soon as possible. Now I have mentioned Google's Adsense program as a great way to make money but you are not going to make any adsense money for at least 30 days and that is going to depend on how well your website or blog is doing.I'm beginning to think that this is one of the reasons why so many people want to be able to work for a company while they work at home because they feel that the company will pay them first. I only know of 2 such companies that I would recommend as good work from home com...

Here is a very good example of someone who works from home.She describes it as a telecommuting job - something that a lot of people want to be able to do. She has been with this company for a while and sometimes that is one of the requirements of being able to have a telecommuting job.Working for a company that you have been an employee of is far better than applying for a telecommuting job at a company where you have never worked before.But at least this is a good example of someone who actually has a telecommuting job who works from home.

A Myspace "Expert"?
2007-07-18 21:55:00
I was at Myspace and an idea hit me! There are a lot of famous celebrities that have myspace pages however I'm quite sure that they don't maintain the pages themselves - they have other people do it for them. That is where YOU could come in. You can advertise and promote yourself as a Myspace expert. What makes one a Myspace expert? Someone that has a myspace page which they maintain and have maintained for a while - you can then consider yourself a myspace expert.But its not just celebrities that may need your expertise. What about those professional organizations, including businesses that are just too busy to work and maintain their myspace page? Myspace has become hugely popular as a great site to network in and that is why there are so many different varieties of people, businesses and organizations that have (or would like to have) a myspace page.A good way to let the world know that you are a Myspace expert/consultant is to tell them.

I used to work at a gospel music station back in the 80's and 90's - things have changed a lot since then.

You will reach a more wider audience because the Internet is all over the world and open 24/7! Now there is a fee with having your own internet radio station and you are going to have to decide whether the cost will be worth it.

Finding A Job At Age 53?

Someone was doing a search for this and I'm guessing that at age 53 they are out of work and looking for a job.It's really a shame to see all the companies that are laying off workers - workers who have been at that job for over 10 years - and now they are being layed off.Well there are two ways to go when looking for a job - regardless of what your age is:Number one is finding a job where you work for someone else. There is just no way around applying to every place that you can. Put in a job application at every place that you can. Be ready for those job interviews when they come up. Have your resume ready. And if time passes and you still haven't gotten a job guess what you have to do? APPLY AGAIN! That's right - start the whole process all over again! Remember until you find a job, finding a job IS your job!Number 2 is working for yourself. If you have recently been layed off hopefully you have some money saved while you're able to start your own business. I know ...
