Happy 4th Birthday Work at Home Tips Online!

August 20, 2018 by Erica Martin Leave a Comment

I didn’t realize it, but this website turned 4 years old on July 8! Or rather, I published my first blog post then. In the beginning, I started with a blog on Blogger or WordPress.com – I honestly can’t remember which one. Then later, I decided to buy the domain workathometipsonline.com. Growth has been slow since then because the time and energy I’ve put into the site has varied since I started it, but here are some interesting stats about how the site has grown

  • I’ve published 111 posts, which have received 24 comments.
  • I started the Work at Home Tips Online Facebook page on May 7, 2015. Posts were sporadic at first, so growth was slow. Once I started posting articles that were relevant to people who work from home, as well as other relevant content, my page started growing. Right now it has 358 likes and is followed by 414 people – not as impressive as some of the work from home blogs I follow, but I’m getting there!
  • I started the Work at Home Tips Online newsletter last October – It was originally called Work at Home Tips Online this Week, but I changed the name to The Weekly Tipster in June of this year. It’s grown from just 7 recipients to 23 recipients. If you’re interested in signing up for the newsletter, you can do so on the form in the right sidebar.

I look forward to continuing to find ways to grow the Work at Home Tips Online community. If you have any ideas for blog posts or ways I can continue to increase my website traffic, please feel free to comment or email me at erica@workathometiposnline.com

How to Reach Your Draft Word Count Goals Every Day

March 19, 2018 by Erica Martin Leave a Comment

Last July I wrote a post about how to reach your writing goals with Beeminder and Draft. What if you’re having a hard time reaching your word count goal though? Some days you may just be too busy to write, and other days, you may not be sure what to write about. This is particularly hard if you’re a freelance writer and currently not getting much writing work. Here are a few ideas for reaching your word count goals every day.

Should People Who Work From Home Need to Have a License? Two People Share Their Views

March 5, 2018 by Erica Martin Leave a Comment

About two weeks ago I posted an article on my Facebook page from the AZ Central website that discussed how certain cities were asking people who work from home to be licensed. I then asked for others’ opinions on this. Though I got only two opinions, I wanted to share them with you, as well as share my views:  [Read more…] about Should People Who Work From Home Need to Have a License? Two People Share Their Views

Infographic: 9 Freelancers Share There Biggest Source of Interruptions When Working from Home

June 26, 2017 by Erica Martin Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered what the biggest source of interruptions are for freelancers? In this infographic, Sara Duggan shares the biggest source of interruptions for nine freelancers.

Picture it…

You’ve decided to kick the 9-5 cubicle gig to the curb to work at home.

You envision relaxed and fun filled days playing with the kids (after your work is done, of course).

Only now, the little angels won’t stop interrupting you.

You’re just as stressed now as you were when commuting to the office. What do you do?

The number one interruption is people (children) with pets follow close behind. [per my interviews with 9 freelancers]

Jimmy D. Brown says that the only thing that differentiates the distracted person from the productive person is how they handle distractions.

How do you handle distractions?

A couple of things that have worked for me is to put a pair of headphones on.

People tend to stay away thinking I’m on a Skype call. ^_^

Sometimes I have to alter my schedule by sleeping during the day while working at night.

Other times, I pack the laptop and head to the library.

Interruptions and distractions are part of life.

If you recall accurately, your 9-5 cubicle job had plenty of distractions/interruptions too. Meetings anyone?
