A Question A Week: Choosing Between Internet Explorer and Firefox

Posted on by

This is ongoing series where I ask a question a week to my readers. To see the post where this all started, check this out. A while back, I did a quick series focused on Firefox, the Internet browser. I talked about Firefox because it’s a more secure browser, and using it will help keep your computer clean, thus making your life as a stay-at-home worker easier and less stressful. There are companies who hire workers from home who have started requiring their employees to use Firefox instead of IE, because it keeps the computer clean and better protected from … Continue reading →

A Question A Week: Making Minimum Wage

Posted on by

This is ongoing series where I ask a question a week to my readers. To see the post where this all started, check this out. I have been a part of some of the largest WAHM (work-at-home mom) forums on the ‘net for a long time, and I have seen companies come onto the forums and ask for workers. “We pay $0.25 to do (whatever), it can be done at any time, day or night, and you can do as much as you want to. With the pay rate of $0.25 per item, you should make about $3.00 an hour. … Continue reading →

A Question A Week: Any Budding Novelists Out There?

Posted on by

This is ongoing series where I ask a question a week to my readers. To see the post where this all started, check this out. As a freelance writer, I have found that I almost always have one or two stories in the back of my mind, screaming to come out. 😉 I finished a short story (memoir-type story on my great-grandmother) a month or so ago, and submitted it to a magazine in hopes of having it published. I am waiting, not so patiently, for a response. Print work, such as magazines and newspapers, generally pay a lot more … Continue reading →

A Question A Week: My Readers’ Blogs

This is ongoing series where I ask a question a week to my readers so I can get to know them better. To see the post where this all started, check this out. I blog for a living, which is kind of a fun thing to say, and even better, it’s true! 😛 My main income comes from blogging here at Families, and I supplement that income through various odd jobs for various companies. I am a freelancer in every sense of the word. I have a lot of fun working as a freelancer, and of course one of the … Continue reading →

A Question A Week: Cellphones vs Landlines

Posted on by

This is ongoing series where I ask a question a week to my readers. To see the post where this all started, check this out. My question this week is about communication: How many of my readers have opted to skip having a landline, and just have a cell phone and high-speed Internet? This is actually what I have going; since my husband and I moved into our home almost five years ago, we’ve only had a cell phone, no landline. At the time of the move-in, because we were very poor, we only had one cell phone, and no … Continue reading →

A Question A Week: The Home Office

Posted on by

This is ongoing series where I ask a question a week to my readers. To see the post where this all started, check this out. This week I wanted to talk for just a minute about the home office. I realized as I wandered around my house, working at different places throughout the day, that my having a laptop has really influenced how I work. I have four favorite spots to work: At my desk in my office (yes, I do sit there occasionally,) the rocker chair in my office, the bed in the master bedroom, and the couch in … Continue reading →

A Question A Week

Posted on by

I was sitting at home this morning, busy getting ready for the day, when an odd thought popped into my head, “How many of my readers work at home? How many of them work in an office?” As much as I love this writing job, I usually don’t walk around my house wondering about my readers. And this morning, I realized that was awfully one-sided of me. I should know more about my readers; I want to know more about my readers. So I started to think about all sorts of questions and topics that I would love to get … Continue reading →
