Busy? Yeah! Working at Home - Earning Online

A few weeks ago, I was just ranting about the negativity I am feeling for the year 2010. I thought of writing “Will 2010 Be My Year?” for me to somehow release the heavy loads I am feeling at the moment. And it really did. With the help of my dear blogger friends, Ate Liz and Ate Eds, I was able to feel the positivity that this year brings.

I focused myself on blogging. I thought of updating my two blogs, Happy Home-Making (which I will soon transform to Happy Home-Working) and Happy Home-Cooking because I want to monetize it soon. Then I thought of updating my profile in oDesk too. I signed up at oDesk September last year  with the help of Mommy Iris and haven’t got serious about it until last week.

I took up some more tests to boost my profile. I applied to different jobs I know I can handle. After only a day, I already received an invitation for an interview for a job I didn't even applied for. It appears that the buyer was the one who initiated the job and after a couple of days, he hired me. I was hired as an administrative officer. But before he finally hires me, I was first hired by another employer as data entry personnel. At that same day, I earned $6.50 and I was really very happy. I know it was not a huge salary to rejoice with, but hey! It's my first ever paid job. Then I started as an administrative officer on Monday and on Wednesday my employer asked me if I wanted to keep the job for long-term and soon for full-time when the business starts to pick-up. From administrative officer, I am now a Team Leader. What a blessing indeed! I was just praying for this job not to end and now I already have that assurance. Since there's no much work yet, I earned $15 for working for 4 hours the whole week. It is a per hour basis meaning - no work, no pay. So I thought of applying to other jobs again to occupy my vacant time.

Then now I am working on 20 articles about scrapbooking for only $30 fixed and to be submitted within 2 weeks. I applied for the job post because I want to build my profile and since I have a passion in scrapbooking, particularly digital and I also know a little bit about traditional scrapbooking, I thought it will not be difficult. Time is not a pressure since I know i can finish them all in less than a week. But when I learned that I am also the one who will think of the topics to be written, oh my! I was puzzled! =) So far, I have finished 10, so 10 more to go. Wish me luck!

I am now focusing on oDesk, but I will soon research on how to monetize my blogs for additional profits.

I always believe that working from home is not for me. But not anymore. I am happy to announce to the world that... I am now a certified Work At Home Mom! To God be the glory, indeed! Thank you LORD!!! I am earning while working from home and I can always be available for my family anytime.
