Its time for a new tradition. HOT LEAD FRIDAY! This is the day I choose a nice lead that might be hot for anyone or hot for one particular area. Either way it goes, this is a hot job lead that allows you to work at home. There are still great leads posted in the Schmooze, but the hot lead is usually a job lead that stood out to me for one reason or another. Enjoy searching through the leads on the Schmooze and all the savings and work at home news.

Forum administrators will manage their team of Experts as well as answer questions. Experts will answer questions in their field of expertise.

When you need a professional, wouldn’t it be nice to just go to a website, type in your question, and receive a response from a professional for a small fee? Have you ever had to call several professionals only to describe your problem over and over? What if you could type it once and send it to someone who is already online and immediately available?

Expertly Answered will meet all of those needs, but with enormous advantages over other Question and Answer (Q&A) sites. Expertly Answered has incorporated all the latest technology for use by the professional to communicate with their customer.

• Want a consult with a Medical Doctor about your adult acne? Use Skype to show them.
• Just need a quick answer to a straightforward question? IM them.
• Do you want a detailed email sent to you? Email them.
• Or, perhaps you are a chef, or a woodworker who can archive videos for people to view, or articles for people to read for a small fee.

Skype, IM, Email, video archives, web articles- all on your own custom page.
As a professional on the site, you can set your own hours and set your own fees.

Hobbyists, dog lovers, American Sign Language interpreters, chefs, librarians – all at our disposal, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Licensed Professionals in every State.

No more waiting to speak to your doctor about a nagging question, no more procrastinating about that leaky shower head, or new car sound. Just visit www.ExpertlyAnswered.com (launching July 2009) for your answer or advice from highly qualified experts in any field: doctors, lawyers, psychologists, tutors, skiers, gymnasts, teachers, mortgage pros, insurance pros, real estate pros, chefs, child behaviorists, car repair pros, carpenters, dentists, pharmacists, foreign language and sign language interpreters… you name it, we have them!

Email: nancybrooks (at) earthlink.net a cover letter and resume detailing your expertise to get a page today.

***Don't forget to check back later for a nice list of clerical, customer service, data entry, and other administrative work at home websites***

Being a writer at heart, imagine my delight when I saw a ton of writing jobs available for those who want to work at home. I figured I would share my tip on submitting writing submissions.

When submitting a story for submission, its important to format properly. Following submission guidelines is one thing, but there are a few tips you should follow to make sure you are on the right path.

Cover letters are important. Its highly important to write a cover letter for your submission detailing a biographical history or a brief synopsis of the story you are submitting.

Publishers do not want the feeling that you are a machine that can only follow directions. You want to make sure your submission has life.

In the top left margin, enter your name, address, phone number, and email address as a header on each page.

In the top right margin, enter your word count. This lets the publisher know that you were conscientious of the guidelines set forth and your word count.

Use a spreadsheet to detail all of your submissions. Excel is a fantastic tool. List the name of the story, list the date submitted, and catalog the responses when you get them. Another option for those who do not have Excel, is GOOGLE spreadsheets.

I hope this helps when submitting submissions, now . . . . . . get to applying!

Are you guys ready for another Podcast? I am ready so you have to be ready. Between now and tomorrow there will be a new Podcast. Don't forget to send in show suggestions so I can make sure you are listening to things you like, aside from my lovely voice of course. If you missed yesterday's tip then you missed a good tip for the novice work at home individual. Yesterday's Tip of the Day was about sending an invoice via Paypal. If you do not have a Paypal account yet, get one. You will find that there are a lot of jobs out there that pay via Paypal. Now, here is how to send an invoice via Paypal:

• Click Request Money
• Just below the Request Money tab you will notice an option that says Create An Invoice
• You will now see a box that tells you to Select a Template.
• If this is your first time, you will be creating a New Invoice
• Enter all the necessary information. This will take seconds. If you are selling something and you want to add tax and shipping then that is an option, if you are just requesting money for services rendered then you will ignore that portion.
• Click Continue, verify that your information is correct and Submit!

You will receive a receipt upon completion. Now just sit and wait on your money!

Voila! I am done. This is a week of shopping. This is a few trips to different Walgreens, 3 bottles of Listerine, 6 boxes of Excedrin, 15 boxes of Sambucol (gave some away before the picture), 60 bottles of Fructis (gave some too), 168 boxes of Colgate, and 21 Glade Lasting Impressions. Oh yes, and all for free! The only thing I bought was 2 Thingamajig candy bars at each store for $0.50 a piece, but they were unfortunately unable to make the photo. They are so addictive!!!!

With a little determination and sites like Work at Home Mafia, Refund Cents, and my Frugal Folks savings club at Virtual Vocations, you can enjoy freebies like these!!! I know its hard to believe so I will break it down for you:

I am starting a coupon clipping, money saving club called "The Frugal Folks". This is a simple group of money savers that help each other out with specials from the newspaper and online coupons. This is an introduction from the VV forum:

"I am back on my coupon kick. . . . to stay! I am still considered a novice in many areas, but I have learned a lot along the way. With that being said, I am clearing out the old coupons and starting a new binder. The pros say this is best so I am going for it. I am also thinking very hard about investing in a grocery list. I want to save as much as I can so I am going to just focus on organization and monitoring the ads. Would any of you like to join the club with me? I say club but it does not have to be seen that way, I just want a few "frugal folks" so I don't feel so alone!

We could help each other find deals and post them here. This will help us catch every deal we can. We can compare coupons also. Some people sell them on Ebay but instead of selling, we could trade off site."

I'm trying to get the word out more and more about working at home. With companies like Microsoft having major layoffs, its imperative that we keep more irons in the fire. Companies do not have a lot loyalty to their employees and its best that you try and get as many side jobs as possible. Remember the rule ......Never Pay to Work!

I got a response from one new job I applied for and unfortunately, I did not get the job. I did, however, get the kindest response in the world. It just encouraged me to keep trying. I have to continue since, like an idiot, I announced my resolution would be to write a book! I wonder if no one ever sees the book, if it still counts?

Maybe I should shift my focus? I could take pictures of everything I can cook(like the yummy cake above) and give them to people who made the resolution to lose weight. Once they break the resolution, maybe they will buy stuff from me. What? I am getting desperate here!

Times are hard and so is the ability to put your hands on money. I watch these snotty rich kids on television spending a MORTGAGE on their wardrobe and I sit and think...... I wish they would go broke. I know its evil, but its honest. Is it really evil that I want to see Paris Hilton destitute? She did not work for her money, I can be mean to her. I could see if she was out doing a lot of good and she actually saved her money and was a frugal person, but she is not.

Okay T, its time to stop hating on Paris and get your piece of the cake (no not pie, cake is bigger). I am going to keep trying to go and get that giant slice of cake but I still want to help you all get yours as well so.......

Sometimes when searching for jobs to work from home, you have to look in some really familiar places. For instance, over at Virtual Vocations I posted a job for Huffington Post that I found on Craigslist.org. That job could have been found easier if I had just visited Huffington Post directly. You should check websites periodically and see who is hiring because you never really know when someone might post a job. Look what I found just by revisiting Huffington Post......
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/p/jobs-at-huffingtonpostcom.html
Then I decided it was time to visit Kaplan and Score again and found this...
Faculty Position
Teach
Teach
and then I went over to 1800Flowers and found this
Temp Customer Service

All this got me to thinking about how many companies hire but don't typically post their jobs frequently. As a job hunter you should not stop at applying only for companies who are currently hiring. You never know when someone will need help and a lot of times neither do they, so I say apply everywhere all the time!
Here are a few to start with but if you want more tips like this you might want to check out my Tips Section at Virtual Vocations!

Initially I was not going to talk about working at home today. I was actually going to go off on John McCain or possibly tell you how to make my Enchiladas but then I ran up on some hot mess. There was this website, HOT MESS!!

I should have kicked off my blog telling you guys that there are a ton of scams out there and to never pay for work. I could not believe the way these people attempted to take money from innocent people looking for work. I know times are bad for everyone but I highly suggest taking people's money. You never pay for a job outside your home so please don't attempt to pay for one to work inside your home. There are plenty of legitimate jobs out there, there is no need to pay someone money you don't have to get your hopes up.

When you work at home, you are not going to get rich quick. Its a job not a life preserver so don't think that you will make $2k a day. Its not realistic and it won't happen unless you find 12 people in one day to give you all their money like you would be doing if you attempted to do this. So if you ever have a question about a company, just ask. Please and Thank You!

As promised yesterday, I am delivering some work at home leads. Before I do, let me suggest you do what you would do anytime you start a new venture, get support. You want to join some key work at home message boards. I am starting one if you are interested. Its pretty new so there are not a lot of members but you can truly ask me anything. If you are interested in a nice variety of work at home sites then you might want to check out:
1. Virtual Vocations - Its a very personal site and the people are very nice. The owner sells a list of work at home leads that will be delivered to your email everyday but that is not necessary for membership. This is a cool place for new people because they don't snap at simple questions like some message boards.

2. Work at Home Mom - Truth be told, the ladies here are not all that nice. This place is best for looking for jobs and moving on. Do not get caught up in message board drama. These ladies are great at finding scams and great jobs, they could just use a lesson on tact. Its free so check it everyday.

3. Work at Home Mafia - This is a pretty new message board as well but these ladies have their stuff together. They have a nice crew of ladies that find jobs for you to check out and they keep an upbeat attitude.

4. Work Place Like Home - Another good place to find leads but you will notice most leads just repeat themselves. If you can get one good message board then you are good to go. The folks here can be a bit snotty sometimes but that's because just like wahm ,they have been at it for a very long time and they have little to no patience for novice questions.

These are your top 4 heavy hitters when you are looking for work at home support. There is also always contacting me. Now I want to suggest a few things I have run into recently:

Bookmark these two sites because they are not hiring now but they do hire from home.

American Airlines

Jet Blue

The list I give will not be this long every single day but I will be pretty consistent. I found most of these jobs from experience, genuine jobs, and the message boards above. I basically check all the same hotspots over and over until I see a flame.
