What industry are you in and why do you think it's dying?LittleLarry said:I feel like my industry is dying. I wonder if my position will still be here in 10 years. I am lucky enough to live near my job, but it's in a rural area. I don't want to start commuting 60 miles for some office job.
You guys that make cash from home - how do you do it?
Wow that's not bad I could use an extra 50 bucks a daySomeone started a thread like this a couple months ago that had some decent ideas. I started again looking for side work from home and picked up a job writing a blog post for an industrial company each day. Pays $50 a post and takes about 2 hours each day.

Not tooting my own horn at all, but I had to work really hard to get this job. In fact, it was probably harder landing this job then the actual real job I have. I had to submit a writing sample that the company (a media company) approved. Then I had to write a post for the perspective client. We went through 7 edits to get the "voice" of it correct. They read just about everything they could find from my FBG days and my personal blog. I had been "applying" for jobs with companies like Demand Media for over a year.You can become a freelance writer. It won't make a ton of money but it's something. Most of the time it is just stuff for websites to increase SEO rankings. I would start with checking out CL adds, and see what others are doing. You could try and get on with a few SEO companies, or specific writing companies.
If you are really ambitious you could begin parlaying this into a serious business by outsourcing overseas. Pay overseas writers, then you QAQC and fix errors.
Some of the SEO stuff they could really care less about the writing samples. It's really just to manipulate the google algorithms. I could see why some companies would be more concerned, and good writers/bloggers are hard to find. There are a ton of people doing this for pennies overseas. FWIW I have an SEO buddy that says people from the Phillipines have the best cheap writers. Some of these guy you can really tell English isn't their native language.Wow that's not bad I could use an extra 50 bucks a daySomeone started a thread like this a couple months ago that had some decent ideas.

How the heck do ya do that from home. Are they playing HS ball in your living room?If you have some extra cash to invest in equipment and think you can handle play-by-play, I can help you with broadcasting local HS sports. Decent money to be made if you are willing to get out and sell to local businesses.

There's a variable missing. Okay, 10-15 minutes per survey, $400... but how many surveys? Because I've done a few surveys, they paid $3 each and did take about 10-15 minutes to complete. That's an hourly wage of $12-18. Point me to a survey that pays better and I'm happy to knock a few out. They add up, and break up the daily grind a little bit.They're SURVEYS.

Of course. You mean you don't have a full length basketball court in your guest wing?How the heck do ya do that from home.

Obviously it's not literally "from home," but it's not a standard 9-5. I have been doing this for the past 6 years. You can make between $50-$200 per game. Video is not necessary. It's an internet broadcast.He got the "work from home" part wrong but this is interesting for some side cash.Tecumseh said:If you have some extra cash to invest in equipment and think you can handle play-by-play, I can help you with broadcasting local HS sports.

Are you doing this now? Are you doing video as well? How much are you taking in in advertising?
Yeah, but how much did she spend on cooking cupcakes? She should probably start up a workout blog now to shed off all the cupcake calories.There was a good article on HN today about the woman behind cupcakeblog. She started on a whim and took two years to build up to $1k month gross. Sold the blog for 35k in year 3.
She never cooked a single one and knew nothing about them. Started a blog linking to three original cupcake pictures each day, every day. Listed the name of the company or site where she found the cupcake. Installed ads.Yeah, but how much did she spend on cooking cupcakes?

Well, I seem to be doing well with this. They just have me a second blog to author. So I'm essentially making an extra $2k/month for cranking out between 1200 and 2000 words a day, every week day. The posts take me about 1.5 hours each (hour for research, half hour to write) so I will have to find that time somewhere. But I'm very thankful for the chance to make significant extra cash.Wow that's not bad I could use an extra 50 bucks a daySomeone started a thread like this a couple months ago that had some decent ideas.

Can you do this with an MBA? I thought you had to have a terminal degree to teach online (at least college level courses anyways).I think I mentioned in this thread already, but I'm too lazy to see if I did, but I have been teaching online classes for 8 1/2 years now. Taught accounting classes and some management classes. I put in an extra 20 to 25 hours a week, but I make some pretty good money doing this. A Master's Degree is a must, however if you can land at one of the places, meet all of their requirements, and think you would like to teach then it really is nice pay. It's made me enough money to the point where my wife has been able to stay home all this time.
