Rewards of Working From Home

I just received an email I was selected to join the Soft Scrub Club Captain team! You help spread the word about Soft Scrub products and you receive free items! These items will be new and not yet available to the public. I am really excited to be part of yet another great program!

I do not believe they are still taking applicants, but I want to remind everyone to sign up for all those surveys, it leads to more and more great focus groups!

I signed up today and I am already receiving two products to test! http://smile.ly/index.cfm

Looks like you receive items -  post on your Facebook and Twitter accounts to receive points, and also spread by work of mouth! You can refer friends, and post about items you like.
This looks like a lot of fun and a great way to learn about new products to share with others.

Although I cut back my hours tremendously in November and December to prepare for the holidays , I still am receiving many marketing and test products from many companies. I enjoy this because it takes very little time, I can share goodies with others (sometimes) and I can try new things.

This month I have received two free Wii Games from Houseparty.com, along with great coupons for Jello Mousse. I am going to share the coupons with friends as we have fun playing the games.

I am also getting a mascara package from Bzzagent.com! I am sure to share these goodies with others also!

I enjoying working less at the end of the year, but I still keep an eye on my surveys and marketing goodies!

Are you good at crafts, baking or making up gift baskets. This is a great time of year to put your hobby into good use. Make some friends some treats, holiday ornaments or jewelry and the next thing you know they may be asking to buy these gifts from you!

I sell cookies this time of year and it happened by accident! I am always making cookies for people and their pets, and before you know it I was being asked to make pet biscuits for a few people on a regular basis. I also have made cookies/dessert for house parties and office get togethers when requested!

Ornaments and jewelry are great gifts this time of year also. Show off your talent and make a few extra bucks. There is nothing better than making money on something you really enjoy doing, and knowing you are making others happy!

Since I work at home I spend very little time going out and dealing with  the crowds  in stores this time of year. One of my favorite deal sites is www.fishingfordeals.com they have a little bit of everything on the site. You will find great deals each day, recipes, trip advice, and even some craft ideas. I visit this site often, but find myself there several times a day during the holidays. I believe on my last count I should be getting about 15 packages or so!

It is also a great break from my work day!

Check them out - it is a great place to meet some nice people and save some money this holiday season!

Now that is close to the end of the year work at home people should have a good idea of how much they have made and prepare for tax time. I keep a monthly record of what I need to claim and all deductions. I have already given this info to my CPA who has done some quick figuring and told me to slow down a bit so I will not have to pay taxes.

This is a great time for me to take extra time off and luckily my jobs allow me to choose my own hours so I can do so. I actually slowed down in November based on the figures given to me. I pretty much have a clear amount I want to make each year and now I can spend the rest of the year preparing for the holidays!

As I have mentioned ever since I signed up for a bunch of survey sites - I have gotten an abundance of products to test! The largest amount I ever received was $200 for testing laundry detergent for two weeks!

It seems I am getting more and more products and a decent amount to use! Currently I am testing three sport bras, Coffee (received two pounds) and a feminine product.  I am getting some compensation, but the products are all worth a good amount of money and they are all items I use!

Do not be scared away by the small paying survey sites you may be rewarded with some great products to test,

I have never been on an online juror but one of my friends has. She said the cases are interesting, and it kind of fun!

I have posted about these before,  was told about a couple more sites for everyone to check out. These were both mentioned in Woman’s Day recently..

Trial Practices - http://www.trialpractice.com/
and Online Juror http://www.onlineverdict.com/

It was mentioned to me that when you do these expect to a lot reading! Good luck.

They are looking for people to work overnight 7 pm to 7 am. The job will start in December. Moderators will learn the site guidelines and review submitted information from others. The length of each shift has yet to be determined, and pay will be hourly based on previous experience.

May work out for someone looking for another job and would like to work late hours.

This website is an interesting concept. You upload your resume after you join and prospective employers can hire you. You can also apply for jobs yourself with all different pay scales. I did not sign up so I do not know exactly how it works, but it may be worth looking into for some extra cash.

It looks like there is a lot of administrative work, but I cannot see everything without logging in. Here is the link https://www.livework.com/
