'via Blog this'

I have been finding some things through this route and thought I'd share.

Making Money Online

I see a lot of people writing posts about how to do this. It is possible, but for any of you that think you're gonna make tons of money you should think again. Unless you come up with a new idea that people like, you're going to make whatever companies are willing to pay you. Companies want to make their money and be the ones not having to work their butts off. For those of us that lost most of our creativity during childhood, it's still a grind. The good part of it is being able to work from home so that maybe you'll be able to have more time for yourself and/or your family. You need to have several under your belt in order to even have the possibility of paying the bills and, in a lot of cases, you are working more time than you do in an office. No one cares about what you and your family needs but you. Sometimes the non-caring includes the family you were born into.

SCHOOL COMPUTERS AND MY KIDS

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel the #schools interfere too much in home-life. The local school district has computers for each student sixth grade thru twelfth grade. I monitor our children like crazy; both online and off. With them having their own #Google accounts and the school not giving me their passwords regularly, I can no longer monitor what they do online and the school is not - in my opinion - helpful on this.

Mechanical Turk

I heard about this from some other blog and decided to try it out but can't get into anything because my webpage locks up when getting through the qualifying HITS. It seemed like an easy enough way to make a little cash but I'm just not able to get through it. It would be an easy way, not just seemed. I'm very capable, except that I can't seem to keep my webpages working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Update 3/7/2016: I went back to this in the past couple of weeks and am not having so many problems. I've even been doing some transcription. Most of my things have been approved, but one little typo gets you rejected. It's something to do for extra money when in between real paying jobs.
