My older boys are both in college now, and it’s really tough sometimes to make ends meet.  I also have a two year-old, so his daycare costs only add to the bills.  I think everything together adds up to around $900 a month.  So I definitely needed a way to find an extra couple hundred dollars a month in income.

My sister works for a search engine optimization company.  I’d never heard of this before:  the idea that you can pay to have your own business website pop up sooner in all kinds of search engines.  But she’s been able to throw a few jobs my way that I can do from home.  Being able to do extra work from home has been a godsend!

Now that I’ve moved to Florida, I’m poking around to see if there isn’t a place here that will give me similar work.  There is a Tampa search engine optimization company that looks really terrific.  And they do more than just that:  they also will analyze the pros and cons of your website, and do internet and website marketing for you, as well as pay per click services.  This is a whole new field that more people should really look into!
