We are looking for someone to work from home on an as-needed basis to handle overflow work, beginning ASAP! We write SEO content for websites and need help when we get bombarded with projects.

You will be writing original articles of 300-350 words in length on a variety of topics, including anything and everything. We assign the topic, teach you how to write for SEO (search engine optimization - it helps websites rank higher with Google, Yahoo, etc.) and tell you what keywords to use and how often to use them. You do the research (should be super-fast) and email the copy back to us.

Must be good quality, and FAST - most turnarounds are 3 working days. DEADLINES ARE ABSOLUTE.

We are serious about the quality - this is not the type of SEO where you cram the keyword in as many times as possible. We are seeking quality writers.

We pay $10 per article via PayPal. We are a verified vendor with PayPal. Look around - most sites are only paying $3 to $8 per article. We pay more because we demand a higher quality.

Our best copywriters can complete 6 pages per hour (which equates to $60 an hour) and on the low end, some of our writers can only complete at least 2 pages per hour. (We not concerned with how fast you write as long as you meet the deadlines - this information is provided to simply give you an idea of how much money you would be able to earn while doing this work.)

Interested parties should send us your name with a SAMPLE of your original work (published or unpublished), 300-350 words in length to the reply-to email listed here. You pick the topic.

PLEASE NOTE: We are looking for a research-based sample — DO NOT send editorial pieces, “what I think about…” blog posts, or record reviews — these will NOT be considered.

ALSO NOTE: If you don’t send a writing sample, you won’t get a response and you won’t be considered. Resumes will NOT be considered - NO EXCEPTIONS! (We care how well you can write, we don’t care who you’ve worked for in the past.)

If your sample meets our high standards, you will be asked to complete 1-2 spec pages. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO WRITE A SPEC PIECE, PLEASE DON’T WASTE OUR TIME OR YOURS BY APPLYING.

Freelance positions will ultimately be awarded based on the quality of your spec piece.

We have work you can begin ASAP, and we pay by PayPal every two weeks.

PLEASE NOTE: Everyone who follows these instructions will be considered, but we’re only looking to hire TWO OUTSTANDING writers.

Good luck!

About two-thirds of home based businesses are owned by women with children. Women are starting businesses at twice the rate as men and own 50 percent or more in 10.6 million businesses, according to the Center for Women?s Business Research.

Jennifer Price of Kearney is a “Mompreneur”. Some years back, as a single mom, she needed the flexibility to care for her young daughter. She called her aunt, who owned a cleaning business, and told her she wanted to come work for her and then eventually buy the business.

Her plan worked beautifully. When she bought the company, she had one employee. Now, New Image Cleaning Inc. employs nine, with Price at the helm. She also is a personal assistant to several of her cleaning customers. Read more »

Running a business from home is certainly a juggling act. Since most work at home ventures are of a small nature, outside support, some call it “networking”, is vital for growth and success. One such network is found in a Hawkesbury NSW group that provides help and encouragement to its members. At the fortnightly meetings, the membership discusses topics such as debt collection, bank fees, office equipment, insurance and employment. Network co-ordinator and owner of Hawkesbury Sightseeing Tours Janice Hart said people can feel cut off when employed at home. “Being home based you work a lot in isolation,” she said.

The opportunity to bounce ideas, network, build trust and a referral base among other businesses is a strong incentive to join the group. Wayne Wagstaff, who runs Speedboar Machining, said one of the best aspects of the network was the ability to draw on the expertise of other home-based businesses.

Yes, we’ve all read the sales hype that this person or that make $???,??? through Internet website affiliate marketing. Is is true? For some, maybe, for others, absolutely not.

A few things are certain; first, if you don’t try, you will never succeed, and second, without a plan you are doomed from the start.

Before we go any further, let’s all agree that affiliate marketing is a low-cost way for merchants to build awareness and showcase their products and services. The merchandising model is simple in its execution. It exists as a commission-based referral system. A partner or affiliate markets a merchant’s products for a “piece of the action.”

Experts generally agree that less than 5% of the thousands of website owners achieve a four or five figure monthly income with affiliate marketing commission. When an individual reaches this elite level they are often referred to as a “super” affiliate.

Those new to affiliate marketing should choose an affiliate marketing network that provides personal customer service and support by phone or email, not just automated responses.

Often those new to the affiliate industry employ a “shotgun” technique in presenting ads on their websites. Too many ads confuse the readership and send a message that the site lacks direction.

Webmasters need to find a unique niche and build on that single concept. Never try to offer everything under the sun. Do not scatter your efforts, focus on your niche, promote it, and sell it well.

Maybe the hardest thing to do for a start-up marketer is to be persistent. Many times those dabbling in affiliate marketing give up way too soon without permitting their site to mature.

Statistics need to be monitored. Be observant and see what is working and what is not. Don’t be afraid to make changes when necessary.

Do one thing daily to promote your site and be patient.

Affiliate payments will begin to build and success will come with hard work and perseverance.

Although telecommuting and working from home requires a huge measure of self-discipline, the benefits are many. By working from home, most save the daily commute. Instead of wasting valuable, creative time getting ready for work, then making the drive into the office, the day starts from the moment we awake.

With a healthy dose measure of determination, most of us work at homers are productive sooner in the day. We become more valuable to our employers, or if self employed, we can charge lower hourly rates since our expenses are a mere portion of those that commute.

The one downside — telecommuting can be lonely. Some of us are lucky to have co-workers and colleagues who make us feel part of a larger enterprise. The telephone is our link to the outside world, speaking to a live human reminds us that their are others who await and appreciate our productive efforts.

Increasingly, companies are experiencing positive results by allowing telecommuting for their call center management functions. In addition, companies are expanding their hiring of call center home agents. These employees are independent contractors, they work from their home, use their own broadband Internet connections and their own computer hardware.

The companies supply the call center agents with “tele-training” upon the initial hire and training throughout their contract. The contractors are supplied with the appropriate and often custom software to track and provide a history of the service calls.

As success stories spread throughout the call center industry along with with the negative press being garnered by offshore outsourcing, more companies are beginning to embrace the mention of home agents, recognizing it as a viable option to shipping jobs offshore.

Not often discussed is the need for us work at home folks to secure adequate insurance coverage to protect us against various risks. Sure, most all of us understand the need for fire, theft and accident coverage, but what about insurance against the unseen risks of libel and slander. Given the litigious state in which we live, lawsuits because of what we do and say are very real.

If you work at home, contact your local insurance agent about a liability policy that covers your work-related activity. Also consider an umbrella policy to protect you and your accumulated assets. Real estate, securities, and savings could be lost forever by just one frivolous lawsuit. Umbrella coverage adds a layer of protection beyond your standard homeowner and auto policies.

To find out more about liability protection, search this web site.

Pamela Redmond Satran has made a most provocative post on huffingtonpost.com about time spent by work at home moms. Satran comments on household chores.

When you refuse to interrupt your work to throw in a load of wash, you’re making a statement to yourself that your job — whether it’s to earn money or fulfill your creativity or both — comes before even the most negligible of chores. You allow yourself to focus completely on your work, and to fully inhabit your role as writer or web developer or lawyer. And you force yourself to look to your work for a sense of accomplishment and worth, which may be ultimately more satisfying but a lot harder to come by via writing than laundry-doing. For women, getting the laundry done — or straightening up the house or cooking dinner — can seem intrinsically valuable, while the rewards of working may feel more difficult to pin down.
