I have recently discovered (and signed up with) a company called LiveOps. If you have previous "call center" experience and would like to do similar work from your home, this might be the right thing for you.
The best thing about LiveOps is that you can set your own hours, in 30-minute increments. This provides excellent flexibility.
Working for LiveOps is true telecommuting. The at-home agents are not employees of the company, but independent contractors. That means that taxes are not automatically taken out of your paychecks (paychecks come twice a month), so you'll need to have some discipline in saving some of your pay for tax time! :)
I am still in the initial phase, and I will keep you all posted to let you know how it's going!
Feel free to post a comment if you have any questions or would like to share your experiences.

eBay part 1: Selling
Category: Income > Online Auctions > eBay
I would assume that anyone reading this posting has heard of eBay. I have had good success not only selling on eBay, but buying to save money. A key ingredient to having extra income is by cutting expenses, and eBay can be a great way to help accomplish that.
In this posting, however, I want to focus on selling on eBay.
When I'm talking to friends and the subject of selling on eBay comes up, many people comment that they'd like to do it but don't know where to start.
Selling on eBay is a lot easier than many people think. The first step is to create an eBay account. However, you will not be able to list anything for sale until you create a seller's account. Don't be scared off when it gets to the part that asks you to enter a credit card and/or checking account. eBay knows what they are doing and your information will be kept safe.
Here is a link that will answer most questions about how to get started on eBay:

Another thing you will probably want to do is to create an account with PayPal. Many people looking to buy something on eBay really love the convenience of paying for their purchase with PayPal, because it is the fastest and easiest way to go about it. In the early days of eBay before PayPal, the way most people paid for their items was by sending a check or money order. PayPal is many times more efficient and painless. You can find out more about PayPal at the link above.
I'm going to leave off at this point for now. I'll get more into listing items for sale, and other tips and tricks in future postings. Everyone else is welcome to share their ideas by posting a comment.
Have fun!
