A bit of a guide

Hi folks,

Back in November 2008, I looked at earning online as I had (and still have) ongoing health problems. I fell for a scam or two, avoided about three million others and eventually stabilised - I now do a bit of freelance work here and there as a writer, editor, blogger or whatever people want. Still in masses of debt, but hey... one penny at a time.

As a result of my experiences, I put together a bit of a guide that covers some of the available work. I tried to cover several of the more popular subjects, though it leans more towards the word-producing business.

It's online for free and contains some good, basic info - things like "don't pay for anything unless you're absolutely certain of what you're getting - they should be paying you!" - and hopefully pointers to some more helpful stuff. It's very basic. It's also a bit old, but still makes sense.

If anyone's interested, it's in the free stuff on my website (hopefully that is available in my profile). I can't post a direct link since I'm new here and everyone will suspect me of beating a shady scammer who's gonna do a runner with your Internet connection or infect you with putrid computer diseases. :rotfl:

Please note, my blog has no ads or affiliate nonsense. I'm not here to try to cheat you out of your hard-earned.
