As many companies and businesses have shifted to working from home, employees have had more time to spend at home, and more time on their hands.

Utilizing the abundance of time people have been given, can be beneficial in a variety of different ways, whether it’s improving the work product they produce, finding new interests or areas to pursue, or further developing their skills, utilizing the newfound time can be beneficial in many different ways.

If you’re a writer who often uses tools like Grammarly or the Hemingway App to check your grammar and readability, but have wanted to do more, I started using a tool a while ago that’s got all that in it, plus much more.

• Repeats
• Structure
• Consistency
• Plagiarism (limited)

In this post, I’ll explain more about how to use it and the different things it checks in your writing.

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
