Given the current landscape of Internet safety, Flugpo is quick to address safety concerns by connecting all classified listings with a "face and name."

Flugpo takes away the anonymity factor that so many sites have. We provide a way to promote your business for free to a community of real people.

A New Way For Bloggers To Make Money

I do freelance work, I blog and I dabble in affiliate marketing. I have not tried a new affiliate program in quite awhile. Most of them are big hype without the payoff.

Something new has caught my attention. It is called Pay-Per-Play. They are five to eight second audio ads that you can put on your blog. The difference with this program is that you get paid every time the audio plays. You don't have to rely on someone clicking on your ad to earn revenue.

This new source of advertising is growing fast! I don't buy into hype much, but I think this shows serious potential. Even the Wall Street Journal has an article about it "New Services Help Bloggers Bring in Ad Revenue":

"Starting Feb. 1, San Diego-based V2P Communications is offering five-to-eight-second audio ads, called NetAudioAds, that will automatically play when a visitor lands on a blog or Web site. Publishers sign up for the free service and V2P then lines up advertisers, who bid on rates they will pay to have their ads played on a given blog. Bids generally start around $14 per 1,000 plays. Blog publishers get a 25% cut of the ad revenue.

About 25,000 publishers have signed up so far, says Michael Knox, V2P's co-founder, and several large companies and 2008 presidential campaigns have expressed interest in becoming advertisers through the service. A site that gets 2,000 unique visitors per day with an advertiser paying $14 per 1,000 plays might earn $28 a day, or $196 a week."

Right now, Pay-Per-Play is in BETA but is scheduled to launch February 1, 2008. That is when the audio ads will begin playing. I am interested to see where this will go.

I have writing experience in family Internet sites and reviews, freelance writing, arts and crafts, and scrapbooking. I have some experience in fashion for the larger woman, tips for living a "green" lifestyle, and motherhood, specifically with raising multiple birth children. I do have experience, although not with blogging, in the life, health, accident insurance industry, office work and computer applications, and virtual work.

In addition to my blogging experience, I am also a stay-at-home mother of 4 children. With running my household, I have learned how to multitask appointments for my family, a blogging and writing schedule and various family tasks. I also have a solid communications background due to the marketing I do for my blogs & freelance writing and the various people I talk to on a daily basis. I feel this experience would prove indispensable in this position.

There are a hundred different networks on the Internet to start with. One such network to start with is Flugpo.

Flugpo is a network where connecting with people and free classifieds come together. You just register on Flugpo and check out the network. You search out friends, groups, forums, or even start some of your own. Post a picture of yourself to show others. While you are there, you can look for a career change.

This is just one example of all the networks available on the Internet, in your hometown, or just across your street. So get your shoes on and start networking.

Would You Like To Be A Guest Blogger Here?

I get so busy with my freelance work that I do not have as much time as I would like to blog here at Freelancer For Hire. I have decided to open the door to a guest blogger or two.

I am sorry to say that this would not be a paid position as the term "guest" blogger would indicate. However, a lot of people like to guest blog for other reasons so hopefully the position will appeal to some people.

If you are interested in guest blogging here, please send an email to me at kellybax [at] msn [dot] com. Please put "Guest Blogger" in the subject line. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you.

Where Is Your Marriage On Your Priority List?

I realize that for the second day in a row I am getting off of the subject of freelance work. Life is not always about work and freelancers have personal lives too. Sometimes the two can get in the way of each other.

I wrote this post today at Shakadoo.com in the LoveShak, Baby

Yesterday in the WorkShak, I wrote Does Working From Home Cause Your Marriage Distress?. After writing it, I really started thinking about some important issues. Apparently my husband was thinking about it too and wanted to have a talk last evening.

Our talk went very well and we both were able to express different issues that were bothering us. We cleared the air and both promised to try and make some changes that were needed on both sides. I believe that the issues we discussed are probably some of the most common problems in marriages.

To sum it all up, he feels like I never have time for him and I feel like I never have time for myself. I think a lot of this comes down to "mom syndrome". Moms are pulled at constantly by all family members throughout the day. The kids need something every other minute. The house needs tending to. If you have a job, there is time to devote to it. Even the dog requires something at the most inconvenient moment!

When I do have a moment of peace, I tend to get very selfish and greedy with it! Although I love my husband, I generally don't use that moment to spend with him. I feel the need for space instead after being surrounded by needy little people all day. Is this purely selfish or is it a form of self preservation?

On the flip side, my dear hubby certainly has his share of faults. He is not a talker. He does not like drawn out conversation just as the majority of men do not. This leaves me feeling like he is not interested in me as a person but rather as a care taker of his domain. Why use my precious and rare moments of peace with someone that I don't think is horribly interested in anything I have to say?

During our discussion, we realized that we are in a vicious circle. We are not sure if the chicken or the egg came first. He resents this, I resent that. He acts this way because I act that way and vice versa.

I return to my conclusion that this is a common problem between husbands and wives. Life is so busy and this is especially true when you have young children. Something that my husband and I both agreed about is that we love each other very much. We realize the importance of making an effort not to let life get in the way of US.

If this hits home for you in any way, I urge you to jump out of the vicious circle too. Not only will getting out of the circle of resentments make your marriage read the rest....
