Experimenting

There isn’t a day that goes by I’m not racking my brain for possibilities for income. I spend considerable time daily researching job postings, filling out applications, sending in resumes and otherwise considering my options.

Today as I was holding my sick child, the thought of earning money while at home sounded very appealing. In fact, I’m sitting next to him as I type this. I remember a time when I had to take sick time or vacation to take care of my son when he was sick. It wasn’t fun and broke my heart when I couldn’t be there.

I’d heard several years ago Amazon.com has an associates program. As I started rolling the thought around in my head, I realized I didn’t have anything to lose to try it out. So, as you may notice, there are new links and banners throughout the site, as well as a new page, ‘Pampered Woman’.

We’ll see how well this does. I also took an old domain, Tawnya’s Toys, and set it up as a new blog, reviewing children’s toys and products, announcing recalls, etc. I just set it up this morning so content so far, is not extensive. I added an affiliate store to this as well, ‘Tawnya’s Toybox’.

Please do me a favor and give those news endeavors a look-see. If you have any tips or hints, ideas or other feedback, please let me know. And if you are in the market for children’s toys, books or beauty products, stop in & shop awhile!

In this economy, I don’t think it hurts to investigate one’s options. What think you?

Welcome back!

    How much traffic does your blog attract? I’m not sure the Amazon associates program will bring in much revenue unless you are receiving high volumes of traffic. Perhaps you could go out and contact specific potential advertisers? Maybe this will inspire you:

    Good luck!
