For those that have skills to share like nixinixi there is an organisation called workers educational association that put on courses up and down the country. You can apply to them with details of a course you would like to run and they will get in touch with you and maybe run the course. I think you also tell them a venue etc. so someone local to me is running one in the community room of a local pub/arts centre. seems like a topic that she just felt like sharing.
Also local adult colleges often look for people to run courses. ours has an ongoing application for tutors and does short courses in photography/ digital imaging or even day workshops.
Also in cake decorating, music, textiles, pottery, cookery etc.
Our local university also runs a summer school for 2 weeks and offers morning/ afternoo and all day courses on really diverse stuff such as local history /tai chi/ short walks in local area/ painting/ -well absolutely allsorts. so may be worth contacting those near you and seeing if they do something similar and how you go about submitting a course idea. As this would give time for prep before summer.

ok, so you have the ideas, its just how to put into practice or where to start??

I thought you didnt have any ideas. Think you have enough to share round so thats excellent start !!

Would you consider teaching english?

No, no more ideas needed !! Which project is closest to completition?
Which project floats your boat?
Which have you had experience of before ?
How many projects do you want on the go ?

Hmmm ... I want to divide into short, medium and long-term projects. I don't mind having more than one thing on the go, as long as I don't get confused! I'd also like a mix of things, so I'm not just dealing with 'adult' stuff all the time.

The tarot site is finished, the domination site will be the next thing completed. As to what I really enjoy, I love words and playing with them. I enjoy proofreading (depending on the text!) and have quite a bit of experience. I also like feeling that I've helped people, so the tarot could potentially give me quite a bit of satisfaction, plus I'm a pagan, so that links in with something that means a lot to me.

I also ADORE cats, so that is what I'm thinking about when I do the art, some form of cat figures - just need to work out what materials to use.

Nixi, you can see the link for my tarot site in my profile.

think my short term goal needs to be to clear my spare room and get stuff sorted into bootsale, ebay, and non sellable..........sounds easy but just not happening at moment, seem to be sidetracked all over place...though doing 2 college courses, pta stuff and trying to run house and look after 2 young children prob got lots to do with that!

Amber - what about a cat blog maybe sharing your highs and lows of cat fostering with a regular round up of all things cat related. such as website of cat art or accessories etc saying what you love about the different things you find.
Find and post on other blogs in a useful way and make sure you link in your signature.
Don't think you could link with your adult stuff (except maybe get mixed up and call it a different name for cat by mistake)
The other things really need inspiration for how to drive traffic to your adult/tarot sites.
My initial thought is to sell some tarot stuff on ebay and include links in your write up if it is allowed and flyers in with the stuff you send out.
Same with the domination site. maybe look to sell some smelly socks and include flyers with the ones where that was definitely their motive. or sell on ebanned or similar and include links to your web stuff.
Not sure if you could sell a tarot reading on ebay but people seem to put allsorts of things like money off and vouchers on there.
People may look for tarot cards and find Tarot cards reading by amber.
Nothing else coming out of my head now so will stop for chocolate.

Is there a pagan community in Spain if not start one with a blog and a website and sell related stuff. Really going for chocolate now

Amber, Facebook is a fab place to advertise traot reading (sorry if someone has suggested this). I know 2 girls that both do them and have a fairly steady income. Set up a Fan page and post it on here, I am sure some of us will pass it on to our friends x

OOhh I love the cat blog idea...are you allowed to photograph the cats you foster? You could sell the photos, a lot of my friends collect pictures of cats and are always looking for 'natural' ones that are not all the same pose.
You could make cat themed models or jewellery and sell too, and blog on the site to increase traffic.
Just an idea...I'll keep thinking.
(Anything to distract me from mine right now, the wind has been taken right out of my sails )
