How to Make Money from Home- Part Two

It's not all that difficult to make money at home.
Part two is I NEED MONEY NOW! If you need to make money from home NOW, you've probably already thought of selling off stuff you don't need, or even just stuff that will fetch a decent price. What you want is a way to actually have someone deposit money into your account.

Have you ever tried writing articles? It's not as scary as it sounds. Really, most content writing is written at about an 8th grade level, so if you can handle that, you can probably do all right writing articles that have a certain number of keywords show up Now there are differing views for different people, but I've found that a dedicated person can pound out enough articles in a day to get past the rough spots. This isn't going to replace an income immediately, but you can find websites that hire content writers and pay them about 1.5 cents a word starting off. For a 400 word article that takes about an hour to write, you're making about $6 an hour. Demandstudios.com used to pay $15 an article, but they have changed their policies and it's difficult to become a writer and get any articles. Textbroker.com has done fairly well for me, they pay once a week and usually have enough articles that by the time I finish the one I'm working on they have another available. There are more sites out there like Textbroker.com that can help you work from home, but I haven't had any experience with them yet. Textbroker.com pays about 1.5 cents per word. You can also join teams on there that will provide constant work to do, sometimes at better pay-per-word. Constant-content.com has accepted me as a writer and they pay better, but you have to compete for articles, so you might work for free.

REALITY CHECK- So, lets see how this REALLY works. You are home with the kids, need to make some money, and pound out 3 400 word articles in the morning between naps and cleaning up from breakfast. You try to focus in the afternoon but get only halfway through what should be an easy article. You finish that article after the kids are in bed and do one more before bed. Total of 5 for $6 each. You make $30 all day. By the way, I just told you how my day went. You do this every week day, making $150 that week, just about $600 for the month. Not enough to live off of, but you can put gas in your car and groceries on the table, combined with what you're suddenly not paying in daycare, it can make a difference. Some days are better and some days are worse but eventually they even out. That is one way to make money from home and works when you need time to get other things started.
