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. I watched as sites all around me changed to nice magazine-esque themes with "sliders" and pictures and etc. while I did nothing. I stuck to the "simple and cl
Read Full StoryHave you heard about SOPA? If not, you need to educate yourself about it right now; because if you use the internet, SOPA affects you. If you have a site, take part in the SOPA blackout tomorrow (January 18th). There's even an easy Wordpress plugin to make it simple!
Read Full StoryI posted this in response to someone spamming this page on reddit... If you want to make money blogging, here's some tips. 1. Don't put up some crap in the user's way that they have to close to read what you blogged. All it does is make users so frustrated that they leave your blog entire
Read Full StoryI hesitate to call Swagbucks a work at home job, because there isn't really any work involved. Swagbucks pays you to do things like search the web, view videos, play flash games, etc. If you're like me, these are all things you were already doing, so why not use it to make money? Swagbucks has
Read Full StoryNo 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. The affiliate program is pretty good, and has a high turn over rate if you manage to make relevant referra
Read Full StoryIt has been really hard for me to want to "work" for the past few months. Some offline stuff has got me all depressed. I've mostly been finding ways to save money rather than make money (although that is no excuse since I have a site where I should be posting about that) and wasting time doing thing

Read Full StoryI have been wasting a lot of time deleting spam, and I don't know why I didn't think to look for a way to deal with it until a site I host asked for help. I found ways to deal with spam and spammers that are not only free, they are surprisingly easy. The first is Akismet, a plugin that usually
Read Full StoryI just signed up for this site, but I hear from a reliable source that they are legit and do pay. PeopleString is a social networking site that, unlike other social networking sites, pays you. It is free to join and get paid to do things you're already doing; playing games, looking at facebook pages
Read Full StoryDo you have a facebook page yet? It's a great way to get free advertising. I have never had any success with facebook ads, but due to free "viral" advertising, the WorkAtHomeNerd facebook page now has over 200 fans. What is viral advertising, you ask? When someone becomes a fan of a page, their f
Read Full StoryIt took me all day yesterday but I finally got PostingForHosting.com back up and running. I gave up on finding a script that would automatically set up the accounts and etc. and just set up a board with a good points and store system; MyBB and Newpoints. So if you want some free hosting, head [...]

I’ve heard of people losing their jobs for things they posted online before. However it never really seemed real to me until it almost happened to a friend of mine. I’ve never tried to separate my online and real lives. More than once I’ve had strangers yell out “hey s0nicfreak!” or ask me if I’m [...]

A problogger post made me realize something. I have subconsciously refrained from saying my age on my blogs because of the age discrimination I have experienced on forums. When I say I’m 25 on homeschooling or parenting forums, I am jumped on with replies like “your children must be really young then, too young for [...]

My baby started crawling. I was here to see him crawling for the first time. I wasn’t in an office, only to hear about this from a babysitter or daycare provider later in the day. I was right there, with him, watching him. I don’t have to pay someone to take these moments away from [...]

I know I need to post more. I have been reading ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income, and it has had some really good tips (including one that I’m not following, posting often). I thought I would know everything it said but it had some surprising insights. I’ve also been working [...]

Up until recently I’ve used reseller accounts, but now that I’ve decided to get serious about working from home, I don’t want to have to worry about downtime or reseller account limits. A week ago I got my own server, and today I finished moving all my sites onto it. I’ve put less than a [...]

Yesterday my power went out, and the only internet access I had was on my Kindle. As I tried to type with it, I realized something I’d never thought about before; part of getting work done fast when you work at home is being able to type fast. When I was about 5 I taught [...]
