Working with daily payments

April 30, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: What I am Doing, Money Matters

I told you about me using MVelopes for budgeting a while back, and I love it! Anyway, I have been working on trying to get the paypal account organized with it, so far so good, and because of the paid posting, I get daily payments into paypal, I have been trying to set those up so it downloads them daily and then clears it, similar to doing a accounts receivable conversion, only daily instead of monthly, and it is super confusing. I have lost track now of who owes me and what! LOL

I need to get it all together on excel or something I guess, how do you guys handle your daily payments and tracking who owes you for what project when there are soooo many? Am I the only one confused by this? LOL

I did it, I bought the Domain

April 27, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: Design, What I am Doing, Blogging

I finally did it, I went and bought the domain WordPressReWorked yesterday, give me a few weeks and I will have it finished and up for everyone to see. I am planning on doing a promotion every month of picking one site to do a complete redesign of that sites theme, helping to organize it, better headers, etc. So go ahead and leave a comment or use the comment form to let me know if you want to be added to the pool of possible winners. This will help me build traffic and a portfolio back up. I will also be offering header design, custom templates, a few free themes, etc. I am exited, I love working with wordpress and this will keep me from changing my own theme every month, as I will have more to play with! LOL

Home Based Business Directory Site

April 27, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: Working at Home, Business Advice

Well it is about time a site like this came out. I have come across several, but this is the first one that seems to be ‘filled out’ with alot of choices. Of course I am talking about the established home based business opportunity directory. Most other business directories have just a few little opportunities, but this one, as far as I can tell from browsing so far, has a ton. They have selections like franchises, home business jobs, and even some in childcare, like book printing, noas ark, and more.

When I started working from home, I only had google to help me, and a bunch of message boards, I went around trying thing after thing, and finally after years of trying found my first batch of ‘real’ jobs online. From West to Live Ops, and now on to Pay Per Post and others …

As an example…a niche site

April 26, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: Working at Home, Business Advice

I mentioned in the last post about making a site based on the product you are affiliated with. I found this site as a perfect example of what YOU could do, say you were signed up with Amazon affiliates, or even ABC Distributing, you pick a niche in their product line, like this site and the first communion gifts (I do not know if this site is affiliate based or not, this is just an example), and select the products that ABC Distributing has in the product line that match your theme, then add them to your site with a shopping cart, set up as ABC allows, some allow drop shipping, some do not, be sure to follow the rules of the individual company you are ‘working with’. And you now have a niche site, with products chosen specifically because of the theme of your site.
