Now, over to Emma,

Please tell us about yourself and what you do?

Hi! I’m Emma, I’m originally from England but currently live in Sydney, Australia. I’ve been in Sydney for the last 2 1/2 years, as I’m currently studying business at University. I will be graduating in November, and setting out on a year long trip with my boyfriend, Yannick covering the whole of Australia in my 4×4 and parts of Asia. In addition to being a student, I’m also a travel blogger and social media influencer with Yannick. (more…)

I am super excited to share this month’s blog and income update with all of you. Last month was absolutely phenomenal regarding traffic and revenue. The other areas of my blog have grown a lot as well.

First of all, my traffic went up last month because of many factors, but the biggest of them all was Pinterest. It’s still my biggest traffic referral, and I am constantly changing things on this platform to see what works.

I never thought that I would make money from my blog in the first year and now that my first blog anniversary is coming up, I am excited that my income is growing. I still remember the day I decided to start my blog, THE BEST DECISION I TOOK!!

If you are thinking of starting a blog, today is the best day to do it; you can start your money-making blog for only $2.95/month (remember this price is only through my link and for a short period of time!) when you sign up for 12 month basic plan and you get a FREE domain.

There are two reasons I share my blog update and income report, first to be accountable and then to show you no matter how young your blog is, you can make money from it. (more…)

It is an undoubtedly a hectic process to search for a work-at-home job. Believe me, I have been there.

At first, it seems as a long process, but if you know what you are interested in then this whole process can become relatively easy. With so many resources around, you can find a good work from home hustle, if you look in the right direction.

I had many readers reach out to me asking about what kind of jobs they can do as a stay-at-home mom or a student or just in between jobs. It helps if you have the options ready when you start searching for the online jobs.

Below are some options for you depending on your lifestyle. Go through them and choose the ones which you think would fit your situation.

If you ask yourself these questions, you might have a clear picture of what kind of hustle you are looking for or which side hustle suits your situation.

Do you need a work-at-home job just as a side hustle without any extra expertise?

If you are looking for a work-at-home job just as a side hustle to meet your financial requirements without having to worry about too many qualifications, then there are many options to choose from. Keep in mind that if you are looking for side hustles like these, you will not be making an income equal to your main job but just some extra cash. (more…)

Working from home can be done in many ways. It can be a remote job or freelancing or a home business. For me, my home business is blogging, and I love it.

Home businesses are thriving these days because of the different types of side hustles coming up everyday and the possibilities are endless.

Today, I will share some promising home businesses which you can start right now and build a strong financial system, all from home.

Having a home business can be great for many reasons like the freedom of owning it, flexibility and of course the income potential.

Here are some of the profitable home businesses you can try,

Event Planner

Event Planning is an evergreen home business which can satisfy your creative needs and earn a significant income. You don’t necessarily need any special degree to start this business, but you should be acquainted with the event planning market. (more…)

I am a work-at-home mum, and I know how hard it is to manage a job and kids at home. But luckily my blog lets me work comfortably around my family. That is the biggest reason why I started working from home.

Though there are many work-at-home jobs, not all of them suit stay-at-home moms. If you are a work-at-home mum, you know what I am talking about. You might need a job which does not require being on the phone or a job which is flexible so that you can work when the kids are sleeping or at school.

Today, I am listing some flexible work-at-home jobs which are suitable for moms who want to work around their family.

Search Engine Evaluator

At first, this might sound like a technical role, but it’s not, this is a very flexible and easy work-at-home job which does not require any technical experience. There are many companies which offer roles in this area which are Lionbridge, Leapforce, iSoftStone, Appen Butler Hill. You will have to apply online, and most of these companies have an assessment test before you get hired. (more…)

Sometimes, all we need is some extra money to cater to our urgent needs, and we need it quickly.  

A quick $100 might not go too far, but it is still is an extra change in your pocket.

The question is how much time do you invest into making this extra cash?

Not much.

There are many ways to make money on the side but making a quick buck in a day is in a way challenging.

Today, I will show you a fun way to make an extra $100 in a day. Remember this is not going to hugely supplement your income, just an extra cash to pay your bills.

You might ask me, is it even possible to make $100 in a day online or offline?

Yes, it is.

Now let’s see how are we going to do it.

InboxDollars

By now you know that Inbox Dollars is one of the most popular GPT (get paid to) sites out there. You get $5 just to sign up for this excellent website. Along with that extra cash, there are many ways you can make money with this GPT site like watch videos, do surveys and best of all just do your usual web search through them. (more…)

Our main goals are to inspire other families to travel with their little ones, unplug from modern technology and go outside and explore!! (more…)

Welcome to another blog and income update. I should admit when I first started writing my blog updates I was nervous. Honestly, sharing these updates have helped me so much and I hope they are helpful to you all in some way.

I am learning something new every day in every aspect of blogging, and I love sharing my experiments with you.

This month was again a slow month regarding traffic due to a dip in Pinterest. As I mentioned last month, I changed my posting frequency from three times a week to two times a week. I believe this did not have much impact on my traffic.

If you are thinking of starting a blog, just do it. I took the leap and started my blog, and now I am making significant income from it. It took time and hard work, but it is all worth it. I have a very easy step-by-step guide to start a blog even if you are not a techie. So, go ahead and start your money-making blog.

There are so many online marketplaces to sell stuff especially things like crafts, antiques and handmade items. Handmade crafts are usually in high demand, it is quite a niche market, and many online markets sell such handmade items.

I had many readers reach out to me to find about authentic places to sell handmade items. Today, I am listing some good online marketplaces where you can sell your crafts.

Etsy

Etsy is the most well-known and popular marketplace for selling crafts online. It has a wide variety of handmade crafts listed. There are no fees to become a member of this marketplace, but Etsy does have listing fees and takes a percentage of your sale earnings.

eBay

Another super big marketplace which sells many things other than crafts or handmade items. eBay sells a lot of things. I have seen a good number of crafts listed here as well, so this can be a great option. There is insertion fees (you have some free insertions per month) and final value fees which depend on the amount of sale and postage. (more…)

When I started my work from home journey almost nine years ago, I was searching everywhere to find legitimate online jobs. Even if I found something, it was kind of disappointing when I found out that they are not hiring at that time.

Though there are many work-at-home options now, knowing which companies are hiring makes it easier for you to apply and land the job quickly.

So, I decided to make a list of work-at-home companies that are currently hiring in different categories like transcription, customer service, chat agents, etc.

Hopefully, this list will help you to decide which ones to apply and get the job. Please note that to my best knowledge, I have researched and found out that these companies are presently hiring unless the positions get filled quickly.

Appen

This company is currently hiring for Social Media Evaluators and Web Search Evaluator positions. With Social Media Evaluator, you will be interacting more on likes of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram to make the search results better. This role is part-time. With Web Search Evaluator role, you will be following a set of guidelines to rate the search results of Google or Bing. They are hiring for these two positions in the US and other countries. (more…)
