My progress for November 2009:

I applied for an article writing position I found in the Telecomute folder of WAHM. The pay is kind of low, but hey I am new at this so I will give it a shot.

I recieved .20 payment from You Data

I got an offer from a private client about forum posting.

I completed ten reviews for Wanelo, which is supposed to earn $10.00

This week I have really dove into trying to get some blogs up and running to see if I can profit from them. If you are interested in starting to blog please check out my other blog.


This first week of my challenge I have just reviewed all of the places I have registered (or currently work), and explored several job boards to try to find many "eggs" to have in my basket.

Here is how I am looking so far:

Text Broker: I have previously wrote articles for them, and I have gotten prompt payment every time I have reached their $15.00 minimum payout. I went back to their site, and reviewed their procedures. I have not written for them in a while, so I just wanted to see what has changed. They now offer bi-weekly payments if you request payoff before the 5th and 20th of the month. They have a blog now, and it seems that they have a lot of articles to choose from.

Daily Article: This is a site that I just heard about where you can submit articles for people to buy. I do not have any experience with this what so ever, so I will keep you updated as I figure out more.

ECopywriters: I have been accepted to write for them, but I have not written an article yet. I will give updates as I get more experience with them.

Wanelo: I registered with them from a job post I saw on WAHM. You write reviews for them, and you can get paid. Currently qualifying reviews are written in English, a minimum of 110 words in length, for products available for sale in the US, and well-written. In order to get paid you must complete 10 reviews from Thursday-Thursday. You can earn a maximum of $10 per week ($1 per review). You have to email reviews@wanelo.com each week with a link to your profile to receive payment. They also offer bonuses and contest weekly.

Helium: I have been accepted as a writer (registration only, I did not have to submit writing samples). This is a performance based writing site. I have submitted one article to them at this point, so I will keep you updated.

How To Do Things: I was accepted as a writer for comfort foods and recipes. I have not submitted any articles to this point.

IM Report Card: I became a member of this site. It seems a little confusing at first, but I believe with more time invested that it will become an easy way to earn some extra money. For this site you write reviews, comment, and review websites to earn credits. Once you earn 2,000 credits you can cash out for gift cards. I have only submitted 1 review.

You Data: I registered for this website. You create a "MEFILE" and sign in to check for available ads to click on. You are paid via pay pal every Friday. I signed in today and made .21 cents. I know it doesn't sound like big money, but I was only on the site for 10 seconds.

Weegy : Basically you get paid to answer peoples questions that they submit. This is something that you could keep open while you are already on the computer since the work is not steady. You also get paid for referrals. I have not tried this yet, but I have heard of people making a decent amount per month from it.

Also, I have gotten a "job" posting on two forums. I have been trying to find time to squeeze those in, but I haven't vested the time that I should on it.

I know if you are new to working from home you are thinking "Wow that is a lot of places to register for!". The truth is you should register for as many things as you can so you do not have all of your "eggs" in the same basket. Some you will find that you will not work on unless you have spare time, but you will have them if one of your lucrative jobs falls through.

Here are some of the job boards I use to find a wealth of information. I probably spend about an hour a day reviewing these sites to see if anything new is posted, and also reading in the forum histories about work from home jobs.
