I've been doing it wrong

I’ve been doing it wrong

I’ve been doing things wrong. I know that. And I know what I’ve been doing wrong. One of the things I’ve been doing wrong I just remedied.

Amazon is making and saving me money

Amazon is making and saving me money

No updates since February 14. Get your butt in gear, me! I have been making a few bucks through Amazon, through the affiliate program, selling books I wrote, and the “Mechanical Turk” thing.

I didn’t go to the mall, but I did go shopping – a rarity for me – on day 13. I went to Walmart, which is almost like a mall in itself, right? The theme updates I did the other day take care of day 14. Day 15 is going to be difficult for me. [...]

31DBBB Day 9 – 12

Day 9′s task was to join a forum and participate. There are already two forums I read quite often – www.work-at-home-forum.com and www.whydowork.com/forums. They will both help you find legitimate work at home jobs, and avoid scams. 10 – 12 was all behind the scenes stuff. I haven’t exactly been keeping up, to be honest. [...]
