Four Work At Home Sites Worth Visiting

Image
I have been writing online for nearly two years and I have enjoyed every bit of it. I can't say I have made much money from it, but just knowing that there are people out there benefiting from my writing was enough for me. As time went by though I started looking for ways to make money at home. I wasn't specifically looking for writing gigs, but basically anything that would bring in some pocket money. Eventually, I ran into some freelance, temporary positions that paid quite well. The positions did come to an end and I was on the search again for any work I can find to do from home. During my research I have found a great deal of reputable websites which highlight legit work at home positions, some temporary, but others long-term. Below I will list four of the sites I have found to be the most useful with a brief review of each:  Workplacelikehome   This quite an interesting site with plenty of legit work at home positions and gigs. It might take some time to understand ho...

Licensing your opinion | San Francisco Examiner

This op- ed piece in the SF examiner has the skinny on why the fat cats are wrong! I had to blog this as follow-up. TOUCHE and KUDOS to CHRISTOPHER TAYLOR for a great expose on this topic Licensing your opinion | San Francisco Examiner : "That will show you to be honest and up front. The money she makes from her blog, like most of us, is so little that she didn't actually owe any, but she filed anyway. The city, strapped for cash and hungry for new sources of revenue began mailing out demands that people buy a business license for their blogs. Here's the problem for Philadelphia: a blog isn't a business.

Philly requiring bloggers to pay $300 for a business license | Washington Examiner

Philly requiring bloggers to pay $300 for a business license | Washington Examiner : "cash-strapped cities can’t very well ignore potential sources of income. But at the same time, there must be some room for discretion and common sense. When Bess pressed her case to officials with the city’s now-closed tax amnesty program, she says, “I was told to hire an accountant.” She’s not alone. After dutifully reporting even the smallest profits on their tax filings this year, a number — though no one knows exactly what that number is — of Philadelphia bloggers were dispatched letters informing them that they owe $300 for a privilege license, plus taxes on any profits they made."
