A Blog is Born

The age old question, how to make money from home? One I've been asking myself for a few years now. I have some ideas but so far nothing seems to pan out. I sell jewelry and will continue to do so but it's slow going. I need something consistent that I can count on to pay the bills when they're due.

Whenever I hear someone mention that they work from home, my ears automatically perk up. I always want to know exactly what they do and I almost never get an answer. When I do get an answer, it's something that I have no experience in. I worked in Corporate America for a very long time before I finally accepted the fact that it just wasn't for me. I am a mother of 3 and the time and energy that I had to put in at work didn't leave me with much of either by the time I got home. I realized that I needed to do something FROM home so that I wouldn't have to worry about leaving my children with strangers all day while I went out to make money for someone else. Now the question is, WHAT???

I've found some customer service positions that I can do from home but the hours are never convenient. I need something that I can do in my own time, even if it's midnight. My youngest child is only 4 months old and I nurse so it's hard for me to commit to a time. I understand that if I worked outside the home, there would be set hours and I would have to figure it out but that's the point of working from home. I want to be able to work and make money to help support my family while being able to take care of them and meet their needs as well. Why does it have to be one or the other? Well if I can help it, it no longer has to be. I'm determined to find something that I can do in my own time, from home, without it interfering with my motherly duties.

I was told by several people that I was meant to be a writer. I wish I knew what it was that I'm supposed to write about. I'm trying to figure it out and hence my blog is born. This will be a great way for me to figure out what I can do to generate some immediate, much needed cash, promote my jewelry and write at the same time.
