I’m very happy to report that my online job ventures are paying off. I’m working for two companies, currently: Demand Studios and eHow. I really enjoy writing “how to” articles, as you can see from my other blog, The Older Geek; I also like writing fact sheets. It’s a time-consuming job, however. Both jobs require onerous references, preferably from educational or government websites. Many times, I know how to do something or fix something, but I have to hunt the web for additional, related references. It can be very time consuming. But I enjoy it, and I am able to stay at home.
Working for eHow so far has no immediate financial benefits. You must first build “clout,” and write some good, solid articles. Once an article starts to get a lot of traffic, you can earn the money. I’ve read a few testimonies of people earning over $1,000 on one article.
So I’ve had less time for blogging. Which is OK. Blogging started out for me as an outlet and a journal (travel) but over the years my blogging has developed, and I’ve loved every minute of it. But I do realize that it may not continue forever.
