OK, I'm not a mom, but I have an idea that people who would like to work at home can try.
I've been a freelance writer (traditional and new-age) for years, and have been playing with Web advertising since at least 1997, maybe earlier. I joined Amazon's Associate Program as soon as they started advertising it, for example.
In short, I've tested this idea as much as I can without completely implementing it, I suppose namely due to lack of time (the idea requires time and work, and you can't give up if it doesn't work overnight).
Everything is functional; it's just a matter of doing it.
Here ya go ...
- Go to Blogger.com (http://www.blogger.com) and create a blog. It's easy and it's free (important for freelance overhead). Sign up for Google AdSense (http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42376) while you're there.
- Now go to Google Personalized (http://www.google.com/ig) Home and create a free account (if you don't already have one) then copy the RSS feed URL from your 1st blog into the Add Content space.
- Now to go back to Blogger.com and create a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th blog, all separate topics. Don't forget to sign up for AdSense for all new blogs, and also copy the RSS feed URLs for your 2nd thru 5th blogs into your Google Personalized page.
- Now start blogging like heck on all your blogs.
- Sit back and watch the dough start rolling in.
Maybe it's not that simple. Maybe it is. I actually spent a few months penning an Edocument that described the complicated portions of this idea, but I think it may be simpler to describe it as such (like this, above).
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or are interested in furthering this idea. The one thing that has stuck in my mind as the Internet continues to develop itself is how it tends to make writing much more efficient these days. As in, anyone who makes a buck doing the above is taking part in someday eliminating freelance processes like the query letter, and so forth (but only if you understand the relationship between advertising dollars and the media).
I need feedback on the idea before I start advertising it through Google's AdWords and AdSense features, but you can also just start doing it and tell me later if you moved to the Caribbean and are operating from an air-conditioned Internet cafe on the beach.
Thanks for listening! :-)
