Follow Me on My Journey From Rags to Riches Working at Home

Just in case anyone is reading this and does not understand what it is all about, I am not one of those filthy rich people who is trying to get someone to join my new scheme by paying for my book, earning money tips, or whatever.  I am only trying to work my way up in the work at home business while blogging my trials and errors.  I have mentioned how I started, what I have gone through so far, and where I have written articles on the internet.  If there is any way that I can help people by starting and maintaining a blog, that would be truly awesome.  You can follow me on my journey from rags to riches and hopefully find something in here that will help you out somewhere in your life and journey to work at home and earn money.

Earning money by working at home is real.  Many people around the world are doing this every single day.  Residual income is real, and I am earning that right now.

Today's post is about what I am doing now.  I am writing articles on List My Five.  List My Five is a fairly new website where anyone can write online and get paid for it.  I am not earning much money there, but I am also new.  I have been writing on List My Five for about a month and 1/2.  I have earned almost $10.  I know that is not much money, but it is usually quite slow getting started at any new site. 

When I was writing for the online website called eHow, I made over $100 in my first month.  It all depends on whether or not your articles are attracting many people.  Anyone can write articles online and get paid for it, though.  You just need to be self-motivated and have patience while writing articles and waiting for your money to start coming in.

Here are some of the articles that I have written for List My Five.  You will see that there really is not much to them, but once they are up there on the internet, they will earn money and continue to earn income on down the road.  This work at home opportunity depends mostly on making money on down the road.  Patience is extremely important.  Without patience, you will not go far.

Work at Home Jobs That Have Failed to Earn Money

As a child, I had already begun trying to earn money by working at home.  I tried selling Avon.  That did not turn out very well.  I never sold much except for the things that I bought.  I had a few regular customers, but either way, that is not really working at home.  Well, it was not back then.  I had to go door to door leaving Avon books.  Now, it appears you can sell Avon right online.  Many people are finding this to be a great job for working at home and earning some extra money.  Personally, I am done with selling Avon.

I have also tried many other sales companies where you try to get others to join under you.  I have never got anyone interested enough to do the same thing.  I have tried Changes, Melaluca, and a few others.  All of these earning opportunities require a start-up fee, etc.  I am also done with the various work at home sales companies.  They have always earned me very little money, if any.

Then of course, there are all of the offers that people receive in the mail.  I have tried many of those ways to earn money by working at home.  None of them have worked either.  Envelope stuffing, everyone sending each other one dollar, etc.  Seriously, do not expect anyone to be sending you any dollars.  You know though, I did make one dollar doing that.

For anyone who may be interested in earning money by working at home, these are just a few of the jobs that I would suggest for you not to bother trying.  My father told me that he had tried working at home before, too, and he always told me that it was a waste of time and never to get into trying it.  I guess I figured that it was just him, but I could do it.  Surely, I was more motivated than him.

Although I do not remember this, my own father must have squandered a good deal of money out to work at home and earn money, too.  My suggestion for anyone looking to work at home would be to find something that does not cost you any money to start, not even one penny.

I could go on and on about how I did not make any money with any of my previous ventures, but let me just tell you that writing is an awesome way to earn money by working at home.  It does not cost you anything to start, and it is a very slow start for most, too.  It really does not matter about earning money right away.

My advice would be to just find an online site to join, and start writing.  Many people have been and still are making great amounts of money by writing online.  The only investment needed is your time.
