So many people visit my blog page about "100 ways to GET money without a computer". So I thought I would write this one as well. I'm not on as often as I used to be, because the Lord blessed me with employment, so I will need everyone's help. And Please
*****IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU OR A FRIEND HAVE DONE AND MADE MONEY AT IT, WITHOUT AN INVESTMENT MORE THAN $5, OR WITHIN REASON*
I have made money 3 ways, not significant amounts, but I can see persistance would have payed off.
The first I tried was Ebay. I made $2.50 LOL laughable, but it was something. But you have to pay to sell something, which I didn't like, because I had zero dollars to my name. Number two was, I started my own website, and taught myself simple html, I really had fun with that, but no money. I became affiliates for everyone, but without exposure or an interest to the public, nada! I found aidpage, google-ing links for my website. I started blogging, and I joined "the team!" I really wanted to help people here after reading all the stories, so that's what I did and I forgot aobut making any money. Then I did! I made 5 dollars =O, I was tickled. So I created a sister blog, and another website (all free with google adsense) redirecting traffic from one site to another, but also sharing good info on where to find help, as I found myself finding the same information for person after person. It took me over a year, but I have made just under $300 . It has taken a long time, and it's hardly anything, but it's something. So I guess I just could have said GOOGLE ADSENSE! LOL
Now I want yours!!!!.....................

Anyone born prior to 1990 may recall that many moons ago, everything was written by hand. The written word took so long that someone invented a shortcut, hence shorthand.. These days holding a pen or pencil has become as obsolete as eight- track tapes and station wagons.
As a young girl, I wrote until writers cramp became a part of my daily regiment. Now, I can only vaguely remember the discomfort of writers cramp. These days writers cramp has been replaced with carpel tunnel syndrome.
But, with the whole technological advancements, while the computer became the number one business tool, one thing seemed to always be lacking at the end of every document.....my name handwritten out in cursive with blue ink.
A signature is something so personal. It can add a note of sincerity to any message. The desire for a signature can be overwhelming; seeing a signature, smelling the ink smell, that tangy, sharp, metallic smell. One can recall feeling the ink bubble out of a fountain pen while it left an artistic illustration of an individual's personality.
My signature is something that I have longed for since the early 90's when it became obsolete with the computer age. I found myself composing long legal documents that were never intended to be printed since they were simply cyber-documents that would travel from myself to the destination of another person at the other end of an email. I also found it incredibly inconvenient and wasteful to create this long document and then be forced to print it JUST FOR ....a signature, then having to take the time to rescan the pages right back to their original virtual form and save them in my computer's documents folder.
So, approximately one year ago, I set out to find a solution to my ink-less signature dilemma. I tried a variety of methods. At first I tried using the silly little pencil tool that Adobe offers in the Acrobat software program. Not only was it messier than a two year old with crayons, but trying to write a signature with a mouse was an impossible task. My mouse-signatures had a strange similarity to an etcha-sketch drawing.
After my frustration peaked, I moved on. My next signature was derived from Adobe's 'sign and certify ' tool. It must have taken me a half a day to maneuver through the instructions for managing my trusted identities to encrypting my ink-less signature. That process just left me dissatisfied since the final product was simply a stamp that had my name neatly typed into a box. Although it cured my Etcha-Sketch issues, I continued my search.
Recently I set out to finally find a solution. I gathered all of my search engines together on my quest for the perfect virtual signature. I googled, and binged, and yahood. I Asked, I Answered, I Wikipediad, I even dotted and I commed.
And then .....there it was. My perfect virtual signature! I could create more than 500 different varieties of my name. 150 different fonts, neat ones, messy ones, authentic looking ones, professional ones, blue ones, red, green or even rainbow colors. I was in Signature Heaven.
I began the process of authenticating every single document that I wrote, making sure that my signature was the last thing that anyone read. I now put my signature in my blogs, my hubs, emails, threads at school, everywhere I possibly could. I even screen saved one, a big 'SBHelgirl' flashed across my screen as a reminder of my victory and endless search. Go to MyLiveSignature.com and you too, can share my joy.

I feel like the best thing I can do is to keep going with certain things, regardless of how challenging even basic daily activites have become.
I started to work on a bunch of writing projects that I'm really proud of, and I want to keep going with that. I may now be a homeless woman, but I also own a little netbook and canpick up wi-fi from a lot of places. My intuition tells me that my writing might be able to really take me somewhere, if I just let it flow.
So much, I have been guilty of holding it back- I might say something wrong....or inapropriate...offend someone I like....ailinate myself from yet another person I love....and become just a tiny bit more alone in a world where we all need love. I should noot be ashamed to admit that I want to be loved, respected, admired, cared about, and thought highly of. These things should nnot make me feel desolate and unworthy.
So what if I have very strong emotions about a lot of things. I manage to hold them back, hold them in, hold them down so much of the time..... but the fact that I feel makes me human. If these things didn't make me feel anything what would I be?
Most of my writing projects don't display these things going on in my life that I'm talking about here. I have a blog of music theory notes, another about Seattle, one about New Orleans, a website of resourses people may find useful.... and quite a bit more. Some of it is a way to put my reaserch and studies together in a format that I can look back on and also share with others. Some of it is an attempt to more towards more professional writing, but in a down to earth way. It is a thing that is evolving on it's own.
The difficult circumstances of the last few months have made it a little harder to keep up with it, but I actually feel really good about what I'm doing with some of that.

Some people collect stamps, others collect recipes, my collection consists of stacks & stacks of words on paper. Words & the paper that holds them, have been my passion since my elementary school days. I acquired my first manual typewriter at the age of ten. I discovered then, that I seemed to have a talent for communicating my emotions and thoughts onto paper. My passion has persistently kept me company through out my life. Even when I had nothing else, through thick and thin, I have always carried my words with me. And whenever I felt the need, I would write. Writing has always somehow been a type of therapy for me. Whenever I experienced joy, or pain, or sadness, or a revelation, I would simply pull out my notebook and methodically put my thoughts down onto paper.
I have always lived by the motto that one has to be passionate about their work. It would be ideal to get paid to do something that I love to do. I would like to continue with my lifelong passion, and I came to the conclusion that working as a professional writer is something that would allow my creative expression to also be my income resource.
I've always been independent, not so much a loner, but more like I'm on the outside looking in. I could be in a crowd with hundreds of people around me and yet feel as if I don't quite belong. I hope to get the opportunity to share my thoughts with the world, one blog at a time. It's time for me to have fun and stop taking the world so seriously.

Traffic is the key to income generation on the Internet. If you don't get any visitors to your websites and blogs, you will not be able to sell anything. Would you like to generate more traffic to your business website? What methods are you following in order to attract prospective list members? If you want to make your online fortune, you must generate a steady stream of traffic to your websites and blogs. If nobody knows that you are promoting some products and services, nobody will buy them; and you will make no money.
To make money online, therefore, you must direct people to your blog posts, lead capture pages, websites, and articles. However, many new Internet marketers either fail to drive sufficient traffic to their websites or, worse still, they direct the wrong type of traffic to their websites. Before following any traffic generation method, you must consider these 4 types of traffic.
1. Content-based Traffic
To attract this type of traffic, you need to provide top-notch content. Search engines love sites and blogs with great content. Moreover, a majority of Internet users use search engines to find reliable information. Therefore, if you want to attract this variety of traffic, you must consistently provide high-quality content on your websites and blogs.
2. Long-term Traffic
If you have chosen Internet marketing as a career, you must work consistently in order to maintain a steady flow of traffic to your websites. How much money you make online depends on the traffic that flows to your websites.
3. Recycled Traffic
If you want to generate Internet income for years and years, you must build a huge list of loyal customers. Establish a relationship of trust and goodwill with the members of your list, and they will be delighted to purchase your products and avail of your services again and again.
4. Targeted Traffic
The people you direct to your websites and promotions should really be interested in what you say and offer on your websites and blogs. In other words, they should be targeted traffic. For instance, if you are promoting cars, you cannot direct people with online gaming interests to your website. If you do so, you will waste your time as well as theirs.
Learn about these various types of traffic and develop strategies to drive each type of traffic to your websites and blogs. This is the secret to making a long-term income online.

I have something that I don't really talk about with anyone; something that I would like to share with everyone who doesn't know me lol. This confession is beginning to be a big problem for me and the people I am around. After working, hanging out with friends, traveling or whatever; I get this strong rush flowing through my body. You may think I'm weird but I can't help what happens to me. And the people around me notice it! I like to be in the nude. Hate clothing. Sometimes I don't want any visitors because of it. Or if I do have a visitor I'm rushing them out the door! when I shower I love the feeling of air drying. The shower feels so good I don't want it to end. So I usually wait and get my calls out the way first, then I hop in the shower. I don't bring any clothing in the bathroom or even a towel with me. After the shower I'll just step out and start on my hair. Once my hair is done; I am usually still wet but most of the big drops of water are gone. So I just walk out of the bathroom without a stitch of clothing on feeling like a million dollars not to mention totally free! I don't know if this is weird or anything,I just wanted to share this with you. It has gotten so bad that I get lost into my own self. When I'm feeling like this; nothing else matters. My mind and spirit take me to a place that nobody know about but me! After the shower I just watch TV or make myself something to eat. I do normal things, I just do them in the nude and a little wet. Boy! hope that the day I expire; That they don't find me in the nude!!! I Can't Help It!

Wow, have you ever had one of those bitter days? today I have been in a sluggish mood. Feels like I was falling but never literally hit the ground. I guess thats the reason why my relationships have been over rated lately! I get in these moody spells sometimes and it's hard to shake-off right away. I went out to lunch with a close friend..my tummy battled it out with that buffet seafood platter at Internationals....got in a argument with my ex. Join the american way huh? Not to mention bumping my baby toe this morning and almost hit the ground. Boy! did that hurt. Now it's all pink and swollen! Well, I finally got the message God was giving me. I wasn't focused on my blessings because I was too busy looking at what was wrong and looking at the obstacles in front of me. I was giving power to my weak moments and that's a no no! Why? Because Today Is Friday!

Hello everyone,
Chances are if you are reading this then something in your life is not good, whether it be financial problems, health problems or whatever. All things considering I hope I find you well today and may God bless you. No matter why you are here I am sure it involves some financial harships, hence the nature of this website. I of course am in the same situation with recently being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and being unable to work. Right now my only option to try and EARN some money is the Internet. Thankfully I am fairly knowledgable about the Internet and I do posses a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration. There are several ways you can EARN money online and you can do it all for FREE!! One good way to do this is starting a blog and utilizing advertisers like Google AdSense, I am sure you have seen the Google ads all over this site. Well the person who owns this site gets paid everytime someone clicks on one of those ads. It is easy and FREE to start, check out Blogger and Hub Pages. You also need to sign up with Google AdSense which is also FREE. There are other advertising programs such as AdBrite however AdSense seems to be one of the best. Not this may sound simple, start a blog, throw some ads on there and sit back and watch the money roll in. IT IS NOT THIS EASY!! However with a good topic and a little hard work you can earn a decent amount of money. The trick is having a good topic, pick something you are knowledgable about and write about it, whether it is about your personal life, tips on how to save money around the house or how to pick winning lotto numbers. Write about what you know so that you can provide valuable or interesting information to your readers. Now it is logical that you will have more readers (traffic) if yu write about something that lots of people want to read about, for example making money online. Everyone wants to know how to do that so there are many people (traffic) looking for information on this subject. Of course you may not be an expert on this subject and are probably not if you are reading this. My point is try and find a subject that will draw readers (traffic). Now many of you might not have any expertice or knowledge about anything that you think people will want to read about, I for one am a good example of such a person. There is a solution, use the Internet to learn. Write a blog about celebrity news using the Internet and TV to gather your information. Write a blog about common household products you can use to save money at home, for example using vinegar to clean your bath and kitchen fixtures. Research what you want to write about, what you think will attract the most readers and what you feel comfortable writing about. Obviously writing about something you already know takes less time and is much easier, additionally it helps keep you interested in what your doing. doing the basics, starting your blog, putting up some ads and writing some articles/posts will earn you some money. How much? well that can not be predicted or guarenteed, you may make a couple dollars a week or possibly hundreds a week. In order to make money you need to have TRAFFIC to your blog and you need RELAVENT ADS so that the people visiting your site want to click on the ads and visit the site that it leads to. Granted many of us usually avoid the ads and stick to the content that is on the site we are visiting so you are thinking that you will not make any money. This can be true and is why you want to get as much traffic to your site as possible, basicly the idea being the more visitors the more clicks. If 1 out of every 25 visitors clicks on an ad you are not going to make much money if you ony have 100 people visit your site, however if you have 10,000 people visit your site then your earnings can really add up. Do some research and you will find lots of helpful information, this can be a daunting task as there is so much information and it is scattered all over. For this reason as an attempt to earn money online I am going to be starting a site dedicated to making money online, from blogging to eBay to affiliate programs. Once this site is online I will post a link on here. This site will of course be free and utilize ads as well as affiliate programs to generate a cash flow. For now I do have a few blogs that I have started to aid me in learning the ropes. I would realy love it if you would visit them and maybe leave me a comment. I am not encouraging you to click on any links unless you find something that appeals to you to visit. The reason for this is that there is a company somewhere that is paying Google or whoever every time their ad gets clicked on, in return I am also being paid but it is not ethical to click on links in order to generate cash for myself. In essence the company running the ad would be getting ripped. However if you are interested then visit as many of my advertisers as you wish and I thank you in advance for helping me to earn a living.
Here are my blogs
on this site I do not have Adsense, you will notice the blue ads at the top right, green ad links along the right side and links in the text of the articles. these are some examples of running ads.
http://collectingcoins4investment.blogspot.com/
On this site I have ads along the bottom of the page as well as some affiliate ads along the left side.
http://jmelivingwithms.blogspot.com/
On the blogs I have posted on this site I use Adsense and a couple affiliate ads as well as an affiliate program with Amazon

I hope all this information provides you some alternatives for making your situation better.
