There are jobs and then there are JOBS!

With the state of the current economy, many people have faced the reality that it’s time to go back to the public work sector. This reality has hit home for many readers of this blog and I know that working from home can drain your bank account quickly when thins dry up. With Google and their many changes, it has become harder for the average blogger to make money. However, the average blogger that must go back to work likely fails to find the joy in a nine-to-five cubical job.

If you want to go back to work but you don’t want mundane, look for a career in mining industry jobs. Mining is very popular all over the word. Many mining jobs run 24/7 so you will likely find a work time that suits your needs. Yes its hard work, yes it’s dangerous work and yes you’ll need a bit of training before you are ready but hey, you will not find yourself staring out a window stuck to a cubical all day.

This is just an example of jobs that are out there that pay well and provide a viable income for those of us facing an uncertain future in the online blogging industry.

Do You Listen to Music While You Work?

I usually have something on while I work--the tv or music. A little while back I came across cdbaby.com and found a friend of mine on there! KO - (Kevin O'Connor) he is a seasoned and introspective guitar and vocal artist who has been performing and recording his original music in the New York area for 25 years.

I listened to clips of his latest recording here on his website: Soulful Sounds and enjoyed what I heard. If you want some relaxing music to have on while going about your day, definitely check him out. If you like what you hear, you can buy his latest collection of songs on cdbaby - 175 Cherry Lane from KO

Husband Job Interviews

Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel

I am so sick of living in Florida. It seems the people here are either old or vacationing. My husband is trying so desperately to find a job in a different state. Lately, he has had several interviews and we are hopeful something will work out. However, he still has more interviews lined up.

I am so excited about getting out of this state, but the process is leaving me home alone a lot. I told my husband I needed to get an All Home Security system. Even though we would hopefully be moving soon, I was getting too scared alone all the time. He agreed and we had the system installed.

Three days later he went off to Tennessee for a job interview that lasted the remaining of the week. It was a multistep interview, but for a great job. I was alone the entire time with my fingers crossed and hoping this would be the perfect job. Two weeks later my husband received a call and offered the job in Tennessee. Looks like we are moving!!

What Does "Writing Copy" Mean?

If you are new to blogging, freelance writing or editing, the terminology can drive you crazy. The term “copy” reefers to just about any content written for a product or service. When you look at that piece of jewelry that you’ve been pining over for the last few months, the text written about that jewelry, the text that describes what the jewelry is: that is copy.

Say you are looking for truck driving jobs on the Internet and you end up on a professional looking website that goes into great detail on why you should come work for that company. All of the text on the website is “copy.”

Why is this important to a freelance blogger, writer or editor? Well, someone has to write all of that copy and in many cases, freelance writers are tasked with the assignment of writing short, accurate and attention grabbing blurbs about products and services offered on the internet.

Keep in mind that the Internet is not the only place where a freelance writer can obtain jobs writing copy. In fact, many print adds in newspapers and magazines require copy writers to complete tasks. Many freelance writers focus only on writing copy for companies that require such services. In many cases, writing copy is quick and offers a fast turnaround on payment.
