Today I am writing with a bit of frustration. I want to help bring in some income, even if it isn't much. I am a stay-at-home with a beautiful almost 5 month old daughter. I won't be getting a job in the future because we will be homeschooling our children. Or that is at least our plan. Anyways, I have been online for about 2 weeks now looking at all kinds of ways to make money online. I even thought about getting creative to make money like selling stuff on Etsy. But in order to make the products I'd want to sell, I'd have to spend a few hundreds that I don't have to get the materials!
So what's a momma gotta do to make some legitimate extra cash to help support her family these days? I have gotten excited over a few different sites. One was just sending e-mails to people and you get paid for each email and could make thousands of dollars a month doing that apparently. However you would be getting the people you e-mail to buy something that really isn't anything and I wouldn't feel right about ripping someone off!
I have gotten pretty good at finding the bad in all of these sites so far. I use a website that just has you enter the site you're investigating and shows you how legitimate it is/isn't. I also like to Google reviews and use the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and check out their ratings. Don't be fooled by a lot of these so called "get rich quick" schemes. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Especially if it promises all of this money for doing hardly any real work. Just think about that.
So I won't be looking for online jobs anymore. Don't get me wrong, there are jobs one can do from home that aren't scams. You can do data entry or calls or even write for people or companies. Look at actual job sites for those. Be smart about it and if you have to pay to be a part of the action, it most likely is not the real deal.
As for myself, I think I will continue to give my blog a real chance. Many people these days make a good side income from blogging. I am no Lauren Conrad with my blog by any means, but that doesn't mean people can't enjoy or relate to my topics of conversation! If someone would ever comment on any of my posts, I would love to interact with my readers!
Have a Sparkling Day!
