I'm a new teacher at VIP KIDS.  YAY! This is an online tutoring system that teaches English to Chinese students.  I am excited to hopefully get some lessons taught.  The hardest part is now getting people to sign up for me. I have  ideas  if I can get students. I'm having fun visiting the thrift store looking for props to stock up on. I am reviewing the lessons and figuring out my reward system. I just need students to teach! I have one student booked for tomorrow night and I'm ready to go. I'm excited to get on board this train and teach. This could be a great side hustle for me if it works out.  It took a lot of research to get hired. I had to get past the idea of it possibly being a scam. It's not, I talked to a lot of people and did my homework. This involves teaching and organizing and using a lot of TPR. This is learning with body actions to help the students understand the words and meanings. I think it fits in well with the ...

Fake Reviews-Buyers Beware

If you think that reviews are honest for websites check again.  This is what one person wanted to have for their website.... This wasn't published but is an example of what was hired to be written for their company. This was a so buyer beware, just because there are reviews doesn't mean that they are legitimate. They may easily have been bought on the many writing for hire sites. This particular buyer was looking for yard services, but the bought review can be for all varieties of products and services. The reviews that we all rely on might not be that accurate. It might be written by somebody who has never done that service. 
How do you make the shift to living your dream?   Scaling your lifestyle seems impossible? How do you match realistic lifestyles needs with your budget?   I created this blog for people wanting to make the shift to a simpler lifestyle. Going from a hectic lifestyle to one of calm abundance can be done. Each post features a key concept that can help you achieve peace after burnout.   My realization came after my body gave up after steady weeks of 12 hour days at work. Sleeping became impossible. I would lie down and stare at the wall. If I managed to sleep at all, it would be four hours. Then my eyes would pop open and I was lying wide awake. I realized there was no way I could keep this up. It shifted my thinking to simplicity in everything that I do. I started the journey to wellness and thriving and realized I can help others gain this also. It's work to restructure your life, but it is worth it. You and only you can decide if this is important to you...
Starting is the most difficult part of working from home.  Most people get in their own way and never jump in and start. It is easy to convince yourself that it won’t work.  Just getting in there and writing is a big part of the hurdle. The results may build slowly, but you will be closer to your goal just by beginning. Breaking up the ideas into little doable parts is the biggest tip I can give you for starting. The second part is that the process is confusing.  There are so many things to learn that it can get overwhelming.

This is vital to keep up with the process. Save ...
Is it possible to make money online or are you chasing that elusive dream. You want to work from home, but everyone else is trying to make passive money also. Sometimes it is possible, but there is always work or time involved. There isn't a free lunch. So here are some of the sites, that I've been following. Rev This is an online transcription site. It requires a test that takes a while to complete. Then it takes the time to get it graded. If you pass, there is work on this site. This site is easy to use, but I am still waiting for my results. Transcribeme I've tried it multiple times. I wouldn't waste my time, even though some people are reporting success. Right away I copied my transcription when I completed it. I never passed, but each time, I got a different grade for exactly the same copy. Something does not seem right about this test. If I am bored, I might continue trying, but I am not too excited about this sight. Iwriter: This is an article writing service. Yo...

Does HireWriter Pay and is it Legit?

Does HireWriter Pay? Hire writer is a site that does pay. I am a fast writer and I have been able to write some short articles. Realistically, I have been able to make a few dollars per week. Most of the 150-word articles, the people really want 300 words.  They just ask for rewrites to that amount.  That is kind of annoying because they are usually only willing to pay a dollar or two. So it limits how much I could get done in a few hours each day. They do charge a dollar for a processing fee to payout for Paypal.  I didn’t see that until I cashed out. It’s not unusual, I just wish I would have noticed that right away. The site so far seems legitimate, but it does have its drawbacks. The writing pay is low. The directions for the articles can be confusing. Sometimes they don't even make sense or are not doable. So pick your articles wisely. The time limit can be an issue.  If your article needs a rewrite they will start the time clock again. This doesn't always ...
