ChaCha Update3

Ok. Well kiddo's, I didn't make the cut. I will not be a ChaCha Expeditor right now. I suppose I've been too busy with other projects to really concentrate and I didn't do well enough for the test. They take your first ten incoming questions you answer and then decide if you made the right decisions on how you answered the questions. I was doing fine, I thought, until one particular question came in Que to me that I just couldn't find the answer for. Oh well, I must admit I am already way too deep into many other endeavors at the moment, so working for ChaCha would've been just another time consumer to keep up with. However, the extra easy income would've been nice. Don't let my experience sway your judgment if you are considering applying for ChaCha. My experience is not typical and, again, I did not put 100% into it. So I still recommend you try for it! It seems to be a great job and a lot of fun! Let me know how it goes for you! I would love to hear what it's like to make the cut and be a part of ChaCha! ChaCha on! :)

ChaCha Update 2

Well, today I finally got back to signing into my ChaCha Expeditor account and found my way to figuring out the modules. Whew! I must have been just too tired in the past to see the "continue" button, but I seen it like a beacon today...lol. Anyways I finished my video modules and took my test. It states that it may take anywhere from 2 days to a week to hear from them as to whether I passed or not. You can only take the test once so crossing my fingers! The test consisted of doing several incoming queries and then you're graded on the first ten you answer. I think I did well, but much of the training that I thought I had down seemed to go out the window when it came to crunch time. Aren't nerves a wonderful thing? Anyways, I will update again to let you know if I made the grade or not. Wish me luck! 

Advertising

Do you own a business? Or are you simply considering one? Perhaps you just realized that you have a good skill that you can make money doing. Well none of that matters without advertising. You have to get your business/skills noticed before you can make money. So I recommend creating a website and advertising on Twitter and facebook.
You not only get to put your ads out there for free, but you can even get a website for free. There are many free sites that will offer free blogs,or help you begin a website. Blogger, Homestead, and  Yola, just to name a few.  Whether you are looking to give advice on a subject, sell a product, or promote a brick and mortar business you already may own, you have to take advantage of the Internet and what it offers!  Why make business cards when you can advertise to the world for free?  Check out my links page for free sites that will help you get started with your website needs.

Odesk

Are you looking to make extra cash without a long-term commitment? Or are you a professional looking for a job? Perhaps you simply want to supplement your current income. Whatever your income needs, Odesk is the best site for contractors to find freelance work or even find a permanent job. You take on as many small jobs as you like and if you impress the companies you work for you may even get invited to become a permanent employee or contractor. Odesk is the number one site for online freelance work. Companies simply post jobs needed to be done and you apply. It's a great way to get started if you are a new graduate or future graduate of medical transcription/billing! But there's more! You can even hire others to work "under you" on the jobs posted and become an entrepreneur! The possibilities are endless! Simply sign up at Odesk.com and begin making money! Thats it! No matter what your skill, there is a job awaiting your talent! Of all the jobs I post on my site, this is the best to make extra income whether it be part-time, one-time, or long-term!
It doesn't get any easier than this!

Twitter

Did you know you can make money with your Twitter account? Yes you can! Most likely you won't make millions, but you can make some decent change each month if you work hard enough. And if you sell products, have a store, or want to promote a website, you can definitely benefit from Twitter. I personally use my accounts to advertise for Sponsored Tweets, and to promote my websites, as well as voice my reviews and opinions for my local area. Once you get enough followers you are on your way to promoting your product! I have friends who sell everything from advice to zippers using only word of mouth on Twitter for their advertising needs. It is completely free and easy to update daily, weekly, etc. So what do you have to sell or tell? May make you cash if you promote using your free Twitter accounts. Sponsored Tweets is found on Twitter as well, and it will set you up with different ads to post on your Twitter account hourly, daily, etc. and the companies will pay you a few cents per ad click, post, views, and so on. As I always say...you can always find a way to make honest money if you just do your research and be patient.

ChaCha Update

Hello everyone. As promised, I am filling you in on my experience so far with ChaCha guide training. I haven't had much time to really get through the training as quickly as I would've like to as I've had many health issues lately, but I can tell you I have found it to be somewhat confusing to navigate the website. You really have to learn where to login and what tabs to look for to find your way around or you will be logging in to the query section instead of the training section. Perhaps it's just I who gets confused, but nevertheless it was difficult. Once I signed into the correct page for future guides in training, I went back to the Guide Universe page to continue my studies only to find that there are no markers or completion indicators o let you know what you've finished and where to begin next time you login. Again, this may be just me, but I got pretty frustrated at first. I still don't know how to tell when I've completed a module and can move ahead, but I will get there. I am still very happy with the in depth training modules as they are informative and  offer a "hands on" approach where you can try out the steps as you go. I hope to have more time to research this job more thoroughly  so I can better update you as to just how good of a side job this can be. I've heard only good things, so I can't wait to experience it for myself! I'll keep filling you in as I go along. Wish me luck!

OTHER WORK FROM HOME JOBS

Many of the jobs I will be listing are jobs are for beginners, but be sure to check the qualifications on each site to see if you meet the requirements before applying. It's not worth your time to assume you've applied for a sure fire job and wait for the acceptance email/contact only to find that the email states you  weren't qualified. Keep it simple and don't take on more than you can actually do! You not only waste your time, but the time of the companies as well.If you choose the companies wisely, you may find that you can balance many different part-time positions/companies and make a better income than if working for only one company alone. However, there are many companies worth putting all your work and time into full-time. Choose the method that suits you and your lifestyle. For example, you don't want to apply for a full-time job as a call center/phone operator if your home is like Grand Central Station or full of barking dogs.
There are many different types of jobs you can do from home on your computer.  There are endless possibilities. These are just a few suggestions. Some companies require certification and others do not. Also, some companies may want you to complete a 2 week training they offer to their new employees/contractors. But remember, never give out your SS# and other personal information unless its on a tax form and such. And no legitimate company will ask you to pay for employment, these are scams. The jobs I've listed are legitimate work opportunities and with the right company you can make an honest living.

Career Step

If you have ever wondered about a "real" online job, you may want to check out a Medical Transcription course with Career Step. They offer the best in curriculum and price! This is where I received my education for MT training and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an extensive, yet inexpensive, education online.
Not only is Career Step the best choice for education, but they will stay with you and assist you in preparing for your certification and employment. They  offer many choices in discounts and payment plans. Also, they offer many different courses in the medical field such as : Medical Transcription and Editing, Pharmacy Technician, Medical billing and coding, and now they also offer Medical Administrative Assistant training!I personally went through their MT program and had job offers before I even completed my course! If you have good listening skills, love to type and research, this is the program for you! And when you complete your course you can work as an Independent Contractor from the comfort of your own home just as I do! If you want a real education at a real good price, go to http://referral.careerstep.com/ref12757 and if you mention my referral ID# ref12757 you will receive an additional $50 off tuition price! Out of all the online work I personally recommend on my site, this is the best  because it's an investment in your future and the best in work-from-home jobs after completing your training!

Website changes/Forum

After having several issues with the forum, I decided to take it off my site until I can find a different type of forum supporter. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I assure you the forum page will be back on in a few weeks and will be more user friendly! Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Taking advantage of the Internet

With all of the social networking, emailing, chatting, and searching, we tend to forget what a learning tool the Internet actually can be. Did you know that there are literally millions of online learning programs? And at least a few thousand of those are entirely free....that's right I said FREE! Most of us know that there are many colleges online nowadays, but few know to look for the discounted or free diploma programs. Even your local colleges may offer free classes online or at least advertise online for free classes in your area. And if you are over 55 (limit in my area) some colleges will even give you a class for credits. You can work your way to that degree you always wanted but in your own time and pace with little or no out of pocket expense! Got ya thinking yet? The possibilities are endless! Go ahead, check out "free college courses""",   "'""free online programs", etc on your search engine today. You could be learning a new trade while sitting at your computer each day! I'll post some of these links for you on my links page as I run across them. Let me know if you find a different one! Happy learning!
