Working for Myself

Well it has been a few weeks since I started merchandising for Archway and convergence and I thought it was time for an update.

Archway:
This company has been decent to work with, one of the issues I thought I would have was the scheduling. Unlike the companies I worked with before you did not choose assignments. You are assigned a specific store therfore any job that comes up for that store is automatically assigned to you. After doing it both ways I must say I do like the fact that no one else will be in "my" store. Things that pertain to archway such as orders are not touched by anyone but the store manager and myself. That is a good thing and helps you to be efficient. The down side is a lot of times you can finish your work in less than the alotted time, this means that you will get paid less than you had intended. Not a good thing if you are driving 35 miles to reach your allocated store. My tip, have all your paperwork pre-printed and on hand. That way if you finish early and have jobs at that store for later in the week you are prepared to do it immediately.

Convergence:
This company offered me the most money per hour. But I have only been given about three hours every two weeks. Please note that this could be due to my remote location, the nearest "city" is about 17,000 people. For someone in an urban area like Dallas or Detroit your experience could be vastly different.

That is all that is new today, I will post new information as soon as is pertinent. Thanks for reading and I hope someone finds this information useful.

Make Money... Sell Your Citizenship!?

Writing for Cash

In my wandering online I have looked at hundreds of money making sites, tips and scams. It can really get a girl down to try and try and not be able to find any desent way to make a little cash. Finally I found a couple of sites that are beginning to look promising.

Associated Content:
I joined associated back in January and really did not do a lot with it. In the past couple of weeks I have begun to get really serious about my writing submissions. The first three calls for content that I accepted and produced were accepted and paid in a matter of days. However the last four I have submitted have not been approved, in fact one was denied! (ouch) I have to admit that the one rejected was not my best work, far from it actually so I was not to upset. The long and short of it is this I have made a few dollars and I am generally happy with associated contents responses and payout.

Ehow:
I jumped in here with both feet! But quickly lost steam because of the need to get page views to get paid. That was a lack of understanding on my part though, I can not fault the site. The site itself is fun and easy to use plus there really is not much fear of rejection so if you like writing how-to articles this could be a good place for you. I will reserve judgement on the pay until I actually get paid.

I invite all that come here to please leave a comment! Even if you hate the content the feedback could be helpful. (Be respectful) Thank You!

Associated Content

Associated content is a name that will be familiar to anyone who has looked for a way to make money online by writing. For those of you unfamiliar with the site it is basically a site that pays you for writing articles. Now their pay scale differs depending on the type of rights you grant to them. The baseline pay is a dollar fifty per one thousand page views. Now while this may sound like very little it is actually not that hard to get page views, it is however pretty dependent on you. If you write keyword rich articles the search engines will pick it up, you can also add links to your information, as I have done here

Archway- Driveline

Hello my fellow work from home friends, my first week of work is complete and with very few exceptions went off without a hitch. I have also recieved my first pay from this company. It was only two hours but every little bit helps. I have found my district manager to be very helpful as well as field support. My tip of the week is this when working from home, especially in this field, organization is your best friend. I do not know how to stress the importance of being prepared and well organized. It will mean the most to you when things do not go exactly as planned. In my case it was a car malfunction that was nearly the end. But since I was prepared with all my paperwork when the opportunity came that I could reach the store I was ready. So as of today even though my car layed down on me Tuesday I have 100% completion for this past week! I will keep you posted.
