Monday morning :(

Well, it is a grey and dull Monday morning in Scotland. I hate these long winters and dark nights - no wonder we have such a high instance of depression here!
It is wet and freezing outside and I'm writing a few reading before I have breakfast - gotta do them when inspiration strikes!

Personally my life may well be looking up in a way, which is good. God knows I need some fun!

The US site I write for is down right now,has been for a few days and I want to submit my work - grrrr.

I stayed up late all night on Friday writing and now I'm in the literary wilderness as it were.

So, do any of you work from home? Let me know - I know there are people looking in on my blog, send me a message and introduce yourself!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!

Goodmorning, I've a deadline and it's looming over me, coming closer by the second. Also I've an unwell daughter who was sent home from school yesterday and I still feel a little fluey myself.

Yesterday was the first day this WEEK I've been out and it was Thursday! It's difficult when you are self employed and work from home as you need to take the work when it comes in. I've worked extra hours for the past three nights and I'm up early this morning to write my five articles before tomorrow so that hopefully I can have the night out, yes OUT!! on Saturday.

Will keep you posted....

3 cents which is around 1p ish per text!!!

A friend of mine alerted me today to a company whose ad she answered on the understanding that they were looking for writers.

She was invited into an MSN conversation with a lady who suggested she work sending adult genre texts from a platform and in turn would receive the princely sum of 1 pence per text.

Another example of the exploitation of homeworkers!

More details to follow tomorrow....

Bzz Agent

http://www.bzzagent.co.uk is a great WOM marketing company who I test various products for. I'm testing Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste right now and have found it is a great way of rediscovering ice cream and cold drinks, which my sensitive teeth just did not like to handle for years. This toothpaste honestly works for me and can be applied directly onto my teeth and massaged in on particularly sensitive days. My teeth are still sore from time ti time right now but then I've only been using the product for a few days

Visit colgatesensitiveprorelief.co.uk for helpful information about tooth sensitivity and new Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™. Also I have some samples right now to give out!

Cashcrate Update

Well today I had my first adult Spam into my new email account. So far this account has only been used for Cashcrate where the minimum sign up age is 13 years old so I believe.

NICE

....

Oh and I just created a Natal report for a lovely lady. It is my clients who keep me going, when you work from home, it can be lonely. My clients and my real flesh and blood friends and family are the best!

Anyway I'm talking gibberish now cos I'm overtired so goodnight!

Cashcrate

Ok so I've only been using Cashcrate since yesterday. Yes I did my research and I completed a handful of offers until I started checking out some of the sites that the offers directed me to - my AV was going crazy mentioning trojans, spyware - all sorts. Don't get me wrong I'm not exactly blaming Cashcrate but I don't feel comfortable using them as such.

I don't feel that there is any "easy" way of making money online and again, if something seems too good to be true then it most probably is.

These are todays thoughts, tomorrows may be different as I am tired again, fluey and tired.

I wrote three articles today, worked my tarot job, did emergency overtime in my tarot job and am having an early night now.

Night xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tip of the Day / Tip for your Life

Always always - and I cannot stress this enough - work to the best of your ability. Don't do anything by half measures if you can help it.

This is the key to success

I Am Sleepy

It's 23:49 UK time and I am working what I call my "horrible" shift. Finishing at midnight but I am exhausted and I think I'm getting the flu or suchlike.

Everyone has it here, not nice at all.

I work for a UK tarot company via text, email and MSN. Well actually I work for a few of them and God am I tired tonight....did I say that already?

Over the coming weeks you'll find out the many strings to my bow but tonight I bid you farewell.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Helllloooooooooooooooo!

Hi there I'm Nicola and I live in Scotland, U.K.

After years of slogging it out in the "real world" I decided to become "virtual"!

Over the coming weeks and months we will explore what I mean by this but suffice to say that I can guide you though some of the potential pitfalls and also the "joys" of working from and making an ok living from home.

I've found that there are no get rich quick schemes, no fairy tale riches available to you through remote working. In fact some of the companies can be extremely unscrupulous and exploitative as some of my contacts I've met on the way can tell you.

Coming up soon, some "real life" stories....
