Been MIA
2008-02-25 21:34:00
So sorry I've been away. We had the baby and things have been hectic around here. Meet Christopher Edward Lane Pyle:Big sister Abbie couldn't be happier:It's been a little rough since December with the holidays and false labors and then he was a bit jaundice after birth. The week after he was born I had an infection, then Abbie got strep throat, then he was sick again. All is well now except I don't sleep :)Anyway, I'll be getting untroddenroad back up within the week and I'll start trying to post up new WAH jobs daily or at least weekly again starting tomorrow.Thanks for hanging in in there with me!!XOXO,Christen

Ebay and Closet Cleaning Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together
2007-12-03 22:15:00
Nothing has really motivated me to clean out my closets and basement except for the fact that I am making a pretty penny from selling the stuff I don't need on ebay. I have to make room for the new baby and room for all the new presents Santa will bring so it's out with the old. I've alreay made close to $200 and that money is separate from the rest since it is in my paypal account. I am then just turning that money right back over and into Christmas gifts. It's working well for me.If you don't have an ebay account, you don't know what you're missing. You'll find most of your Christmas gifts (I stress most, not all) cheaper here than in the stores and if you are also selling items it feels like you are getting your shopping done for free!Here's a link to my auctions of the moment. They are always changing depending on which part of my house I am clearing out. I know they say you should find your niche, but we just have all sorts of things...My Auctions

Mail Scams
2007-12-03 20:53:00
I don't know about anyone else but I think it is from all the GPT's I do that my name gets onto every scam list imaginable. The latest thing I am getting are letters claiming I have won an international lottery and enclosed with the letter is a check that is supposed to help me pay my taxes on the winnings. One check was for $2000 from the Gap, Inc and another today is for $3275. Out of curiosity we looked up this scam online and it turns out if someone were to fall for this and think they truly won the lottery, they'd be arrested when they tried to cash the check. Apparently, if someone writes you a fake check YOU get in trouble for it. They say you have to call them about your winnings and then they try to get you to give them money from your bank account to cover the taxes and since you have this check from them you are supposed to feel secure in doing so. I am going to see if there is somewhere to report this to. I never really minded the junk mail or the transparent scams bu...

Backgammon Anyone?
2007-12-03 20:40:00
First it was poker and that had to stop. Then it was Bingo for a short time. Now suddenly Backgammon is the thing.I am not talking about myself. I am no good at these sorts of things. I am talking about my husband. I never would have figured him as a backgammon guru but he decided to try his hand at it and almost won the $50,000 dollar tournament! As it is he walked away with $50 instead but that's still pretty good and going straight into Santa's Christmas fund. He made it look easy. I fyou want to try your hand at it click on the banner above!

Make Moola from Direct TV
2007-11-06 21:32:00
Really cool affiliate program here. You'll get paid $125 for every member you refer to sign up for Direct TV and the product truly sells itself.Having now been a customer of Comcast, Dish, and Direct TV- I can tell you that Direct TV has the lowest cost (for the amount of channels), more HD channels than the other two, and the best customer service.For a few less channels on the Dish and only about 12 HD channels (none of which were watchable) + DVR and Showtime I was paying over $100. On Comcast, just for Basic Cable and DVR I was paying $100 and they had limited my basic cable to only about 26 channels, which is what made me switch in the first place(My child needs NOGGIN! lol). Now we are paying $45 for Direct TV with DVR and we have Showtime free for three months. We have more channels and my husband is happy because he has ever sport channel he could want, my daughter is happy because we have all the kid and family channels in the world, and I am happy because I have IFC and V...

Untrodden Road Site is Back Up Again!
2007-11-01 21:52:00
Thank God because it would have taken me a very, very long time to transfer all that information. I really put my heart and soul into that site and tried to make sure that it included anythign and everythign you'd need to earn a living form home. Of course, there is always more to add and I'll be tweaking it through the next few days. If you've never seen it please check it out if you are interested in working from home.After looking it over with a fresh head, I wonder if I put too much information on there. I may take some things out or organize it differently in the weeks ahead.... Comments always appreicated.http://www.untroddenroad.com

My Survey
2007-11-01 19:00:00
This is another trusted friend of mine, My Survey . They are the only survey company that has steadily been paying me for the past two years! They always have new surveys to take and often you get sent neat products in the mail to try out and then answer questions on. You can also join their affiliate program once you are a member and get paid every time a new member joins. This is by far my favorite survey company. I just received a nice check from them so it reminded me to post up a link for you all.How it works is each time you take a survey, you get points. You then trade in your points for either cash or prizes. Personally, I always take the cash but I know a lot of people who have gotten TV's and IPods as well.These surveys are legit and actually fun to take!

Earn Money for Blogging- No Really....
2007-10-27 15:05:00
I've told you about making money from your blogs before but PayPerPost really does pay off! It's easy to get started. Just sign up. To do so you'll need the URL of your blog and your tax ID or SS # (because you'll be getting paid). If you don't have a blog take 2 minutes and sign up for one on Blogger, Myspace, Bravenet, or LiveJournal!Advertisers create "Opportunities" for bloggers to write about their products, services and websites. They range from $5 to several thousands of dollars, depending on the criteria set by the advertiser. Bloggers with high amounts of traffic can expect to earn a significant amount of money for each post they create on behalf of an advertiser. Advertisers will post all sorts of Opportunities, from simple buzz campaigns to product reviews with pictures or videos. It's up to you to pick the Opportunities that best suit you and your blog. If it doesn't feel right, if you don't own the product, or if you can't be honest they ask you to pass on ...

Guess Now!
2007-10-27 14:58:00
I just found a cool new website called Guess Now that awards you points if you guess correctly on such things as the weather, world and country events, and celebrity gossip. For example, I just answered whether I thought J Lo would admit she is pregnant by the end of October (I think she will). For every question you get right, you get points. For every point, you get paid money! I thought it was pretty neat and fun! You also get a percentage of the all the points of the people you refer to the site. (So refer good guessers!) Check it out!Click Here for Guess Now!Take care!Christen

If You Need Money Right Now....
2007-10-27 14:27:00
If you are home for any reason, whether it is to take care of your kids, or yourself even if you're ill, or because you're laid off- whatever, I just think that it stinks that what you are doing while you're home is seen by so many as "worthless" just because it doesn't bring in money. It's a sad state of affairs that our self worth is measured in how many dollars we can get our hands on.Anyway, I struggle with this sometimes. I did used to be a career woman after all and I was good at my job. Before we had kids, my husband and I spent money all the time on silly things. Now we pretty much just pay the bills!Anywho....the other day I was wanting something- I forget what it was. I think maybe to take my daughter out or start holiday shopping, but the point was I wanted to make some money RIGHT NOW.And so I did:The first thing I did was list a few items on Ebay. I hope to find more to sell as I sift through all the mess from the basement and playroom. I set the auctions for only ...

Using Affiliate Programs to Create Income
2007-10-27 14:20:00
  Another way to make money from home and online is through affiliate programs.  Max Bounty is one such program.  Basically, if you do not have a product of your own to sell, you can sign up with a company such as this that sells other people's products.  You then make a commission from every product you sell or lead you generate for the client(s).  There are hundreds of offers and companies to choose from! If you saw ads on the Untrodden Road site, some of them are affiliate ads meaning I only got paid for the advertising when someone either signed up or purchased from the client.  You don't have to have a website to promote products.  You can also blog about them or post about them on message boards relating to the product.  You can even email great offers to friends who you know would be interested!  Best of all, with Max Bounty, many of the offers allow you to offer incentives.  That means you can do what the GPT Sites do....

Just a quick introduction. My name is Christen Pyle. I run a work at home website called Untroddenroad and I also write articles on the fine art of making money between diaper changes and playdates. Unfortunately, Untroddenroad is currently down but should be back up soon. The blog is still working fine and from the archives of newsletters on it, you can get an idea of all the work at home ideas on there. If you'd like to check that out feel free. Here is the address: http://christenwypy.bravejournal.com/Anyw ay, between some illness in the family and getting pregnant again I found myself working less for the last few months. Now I am back and hustling again for the holidays and the new baby. I figured I'd just jump right in and keep a blog of what is working for me and what isn't so other Mommies or Work at Home Execs can benefit from my experience. There are lots of ways to make money from home and in time on this blog I will try and divulge them all. They are not all online. So...
