All Things Mommy!

Crystina just started a fantastic blog called All Things Mommy. It features everything from homeschooling and the first Creation museum to funny anectdotes about being a mom.

If you are into homeschooling or unschooling this will be a fantastic resource for you. She and I homeschool six children (I know I am repeating myself) but maybe somebody didn't read that post. lol. The point it isn't just an empty blog, she actually knows about homeschooling and unschooling and would be a great resource if you need to ask questions. (which you can do on her site) And if she doesn't know the answers, she will find them for you.


Anyway its a neat little blog so if your in the neighborhood ....

I'm so excited!!!!

I was continuing on through Tory Johnson's information, and she actually has a whole list of work at home companies and positions at this site http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/TakeControlOfYourLife/story?id=2621388&page=1. Just scroll down and she has 4 pages worth of these jobs.

That is not why I am excited though. What I found on one of her job listings was this: remember how I told you about my moms adventure with At Home Professions, the correspondence school that taught her transcription and medical coding? Well, the American Association for Medical Transcription has released a few schools that they absolutely approve of. So if you really want to do transcription then check out your choice of school on this site http://www.aamt.org/scriptcontent/mtapproved.cfm before you sign up or make any decisions. This site also has an employment resource. So you may find that helpful also.

Good Morning Tory!


Tory Johnson has become the spokesperson for legitimate home employment opportunities. Maybe you have seen her on Good Morning America. The first time I saw her was when she was promoting ChaCha on the show, but that isn't the only job she has up her sleeve. She is a veritable fountain of information and hope.


The reason I am telling you all about her is because she actually takes personal emails in order to try and help you get a telecommute job that will fit your needs; scam free. Doesn't that sound wonderful???


You can contact Tory at http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/TakeControlOfYourLife/story?id=3003833&page=1 and hopefully she will pull out a telecommute job wonder story just for you.

Whats not to love?


Benjamin Gan started a site, Telecommute Job List, that literally has posted ALL of the jobs in Craigslist. Not just for his community or city, or even for his own state, but nationwide. How cool is that?!!

When I saw the site I was immediately impressed. There are so many jobs listed and guess what? All of them were current.

Today is May 22, 2007 and the job listings started today, May 22, 2007. So many times, people start sites and don't keep them current. Web surfers end up applying to apply to jobs that have been out of the running for days, weeks, and even sometimes months.

Some websites don't even show a listing date, so you wouldn't have a clue as to when the job was posted. So, it is very refreshing to see a website that is not only up to date, but that lists the times of the post.

Another nice feature on this website is the job listing directory on the right hand side of the page. It allows for quick browsing to save on time, and believe me, with all of those job listings, you'll need all the extra time you can get.

If you get the time, stop over and see this site, it'll be well worth your time. That is, of course, only if you need a real telecommute job, and want a great list to choose from.
(smile)

Nice job Mr. Gan!!!!

GDI



Recently I ran accross an ad in Craigslist. It had a link to a video that I sat through. It took a half hour and you know what? At the end of the half hour, I was actually convinced that I could make money off of this company.

The company is called GDI and they are the proud owners of the .ws rage. They hold all rights to .ws and are marketing it in a way that allows regular people, like me, to profit from it.

I immediately emailed the man who posted his ad on Craigslist and to make a long story short, I signed up.

The first thing that caught me was that it had a free seven day trial for new sign ups. The second thing (the most important thing, in my book) was that even after the trial was over, the charge was only $10 a month. Now how could I beat that? I am always a little skeptical about paying money out, however, and so I wanted to see what I got for the $10 a month. The truth is I got a lot of services. I got my own domain name, and the ability to build a webpage with their tools. The .com days are by no means fading, but .com is becoming awful congested with the millions upon billions of people taking up the webspace, so .ws is a needed commodity.

My sponsor, Gary, told me about the program and I was very excited to get started. He gave me a few lessons and off I went. My sister, Crystina, signed up also and she began the same day I did. Now I am not good at selling or marketing, but I figured I would give it a shot. Within a couple days I had three people underneath me. Thats not a lot but five people in a week will get you a $100 bonus, so I am committed to getting to five people in a week.

The bonuses do come with a stipulation. In order to qualify for them, you have to buy 10 of the company dvd's from the company and thats that. It was a total of a little over $36. I am committed to seeing this thing through for at least 4-6 months. It isn't expensive and it takes very little time. So, I will report and let you know how it goes. If anyone is interested in the video I saw, the link is on the right side of the page or I can put it right here. www.freedom.ws/deckrich/show_dvd
Let me know if you have any questions.

Scams, scams, and more scams

I just came accross a site called Danny's Scam Review, http://dannys-scam-review.com/?gclid=CMnY3Jano4wCFQuQGgodcjFp6Q, and I am thinking of trying one or two of his recommedations.

Danny apparently has tried a bunch of different work at home businesses and advertises he has been scammed 37 times. While we all have been scammed before his information is certainly more helpful as he has taken the businesses that weren't scams and rated them 1through 3. I would love it if any of you know anything about this, or can vouch for Danny. This would be so helpful to all of the readers of these work at home sites.

I may try all of them just to report back to you what I find. Hmmm... I'm thinking.

A Fantastic Resource

When it comes to working at home jobs, business opportunities, and telecommuting tips, WAHM is the site. If you don't believe me just check it out at http://wahm.com.

Cheryl Demas started wahm as a way for mothers to work at home. She has formed a strong network of moms and dads, who are all committed to becoming work at home parents. She makes sure there is an updated list of actual scam free telecommute jobs. She makes sure that she warns people against specific scams, such as telling her web community that they should NEVER pay for a position with a legitimate company.

She has a business opportunity page, which also serves as a great way to advertise for your own company. She provides a message board so that the members can talk to each other and get answers to their questions. There are helpful suggestions for starting a business on her Read and Learn with Wahm. All in all, there is no better or more helpful site online than WAHM.com.

Kudos Cheryl and thanks for all that you have done for the moms and dads out there that needed a good start. You gave it to them!
