Frogpatch...you are an inspiration. My husband just went back to work today after being unemployed for over 1 year. I am interested in posting ads on Craigslist. Is this something I could do?

If you want post ads you need to search "work from home" on Craigs List! Then you need to open up several CL accounts or use someone elses! Then put you ads in Word and copy/paste changing them each time slightly as not to get caught duplicating! I get paid .60 cents each and can post one ad every three minutes including photo downloads! Beware of scammers that will not pay you! Craigs list is full of cons!
Thanks! I am glad you read this!

Ok, here we are and it has been months! I rolled the dice and at 60 years old I went and took the Health, Life and Annuity course and studied my --- off and Tuesday I passed the test and got my license! Now I have to come up with the cash to have my web site set up and get appointed by the companies as an agent! Please pray that the Senate passes the extension for umemployment as I have the money in my account but because they are stalling it cannot be released! I know global warming is important as is judicial appointment but Americans are going to become homeless soon as the landlords and mortgage companies really do not care about the delays in legislature! The Senate has become an uncaring pocket of heartless bureaucrats! Shame on them!

I'm right there with ya, congrats on your accomplishment!

Thanks! But please email your reps regarding the milllions who have either exhausted benefits or have them on hold waiting for the powers to be to bicker among each other due to their political egos as multitudes of Americans go without! Between this and the millions that will be out of work due to the Gulf catastrophe, which is being underestimated by both BP and the Feds, this will become an economic disaster of monumental proportions! We stand to see the entire Gulf being off limits to fishing and recreation! We will see Americans immigrating to other countries for a better way of life! That should never happen and I do not want to see it but it could! Reality check! India and Chinas economy is starting to defeat us! Dependency on a product from the first Earth age is destroying us!

First, congratulations on getting your license!
I'm late to this thread because, like you, I got that fateful call into the office the first week of December 2009. And like you, I didn't waste one minute being bitter or sad. I immediately turned my attentions to taking well-deserved time off (that was longer than a week for a change) and researching different career paths. I had looked into going into insurance or real estate myself, but since I'm already an independent sales rep for a beauty company, I figured one sales job was enough. My unemployment check is about as "generous" as yours, especially since I have to claim time worked on my beauty biz as a day of work.
I've stumbled onto the wonderful world of content mill writing, where you basically sign on to write content for websites. The pay is anywhere from $8-$25 (or more) per 400-500 article, but if I can crank out 2-3 articles per hour, it's pays more than I would get paid for the B&M part-time gigs where I live and could provide a good full-time income if I devote more time to it. And I do love to write.
People ask me if I've been able to find a job and I pretend I've been looking so hard. Truthfully, I keep my eyes open to see what's out there, but I'm really trying to do my own thing for as long as I can (and find some affordable health coverage too).

What state do you live in? I write articles on the internet but I could never crank them out that fast! It is great that you found that niche!

I'm in New York. Right now I can only do one article in an hour, but I'm working on getting to at least 2 an hour.
