Blogging For Money - Does it work?

Does it work - Day 1

Feb. 6, 2007

First, a little about me. I'm 2 months short of 50, a grand turning point in anyone's life. I've been working as a Chief Stewardess on private & charter luxury yachts for the past 11 years, and while the money & travel have both been good it's time for me to choose less vigorous employment. I've also been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 1992 and absolutely love working at helping people feel better even though my body is saying that it's time to take a rest.

So what to do when I've spent the last decade in jobs that are outside the mainstream and am unprepared to enter the typical office workspace? Over the last few years I've thought of starting up my own website to promote an idea & products that I believe in but after checking around the web, I found that at least two other sites are doing it better and slicker than I could.

Next I went to Google and searched "work from home" and got overwhelmed with the number of sites! Try it and you'll see for yourself - there are hundreds of sites out there promoting themselves as the next best way to make thousands of dollars a day from the comfort of your living room with very little work involved. Well, you don’t have to have a college degree to know that most of these sites are only selling you a scam and a little research helped to remove more of the get-rich-quick schemers. I was left with “review” sites, the kinds that are supposed to be honest, impartial & objective. The review sites I used were:

http://www.scamx.com
http://www.gold-rated.com/
http://consumer-rated.com and
http://www.bestratedreviews.com

I recommend that anyone looking into working from home start with these sites – they are the internet version of the Better Business Bureau and all the programs they recommend have been tried and tested by their staffers.
