We all have been there.

Whether it is remote work or a simple work-at-home job or an online business, the super balancing act of working from home is something we all have to do every day.

Remote work can give you many perks like flexibility, having your own schedule, working around your family, etc. But the thing no one talks about is the most difficult part – managing work and family.

My choice to work from home was of course majorly influenced by my wish to work around family with utmost flexibility. But soon I understood it was a walk on the tightrope to successfully manage everything. I struggled initially but eventually developed a strategic plan to beat the overwhelm.

The struggle is real. And there might be many reasons for you not getting better at this.

Today, I will share some of the hurdles and how I tackled them. I hope you find this helpful in your work-at-home set up.

Today, I have an interesting review about the eBook which has exploded my traffic. As you know, I started my blog a year ago, and I feel so grateful that in this one year I have begun earning a full-time income from my blog.

Is it realistically possible to do that in a year?

Yes, it is.

It is mostly because of the traffic I get. And Pinterest is the biggest reason.

From the start of my blogging journey, I did not invest in anything related to Pinterest other than Pinteresting Strategies. Carly was offering this eBook as a freebie with another learning resource.

Carly really studies Pinterest, at least that’s what I think. She got 200,000 page views to her 7-month-old blog, and most of that traffic was from Pinterest. Her traffic stats in June were, even more, mind blowing over 500,000 page views and her blog is just over a year old!! WOW!!

After applying the tips in the eBook, my traffic literally exploded. Now, I get over 100,000 page views from Pinterest alone every month.

Why am I doing this review?

Actually this review is long time coming for the incredible results I got from it. Many of my readers who have started blogging are having a hard time getting page views and through this review, if I can help them, I would be really happy. (more…)

Have you heard of Amazon Mechanical Turk?

You must have.

It is a unique crowdsourcing platform of Amazon which lets you earn money online by doing various micro tasks.

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a great way to earn some extra income in your spare time doing simple tasks like data entry, surveys, filling forms, etc. Though the individual pay for these tasks is less, how much you make on mTurk depends on the availability of tasks and the kind of tasks that you get.

What is Amazon Mturk

It is a crowdsourcing platform where ‘Requesters’, the people who pay you for the work and ‘Workers’ are going to come together.

There is no doubt about the credibility of this platform as Amazon backs it.
