A few miles away from us is this farm with an awesome barn!
I am writing a short post this morning because I am up very early with my husband having coffee and he is viewing videos about making generators, and I am listing more books on my favorite site, Bonanzle. The idea on this site is for everyone that sells there to also buy there. Makes sense to buy from the same people who buy from you. I look through their booths and find their prices to be excellent there depending on what you are searching for. I guess I always like to do things that are not ordinary. So most people sell on eBay or Amazon and I choose a site like Bonazle. Course, I love that name!
Having to make money on the computer is core to my homestead. As I posted yesterday, my physical problems are affecting me very much so this is the ONLY way I can have an income. I am selling books on Bonanzle and guitar strings on my websites. It is not real easy to do this and get sales. You have to keep promoting it and marketing constantly. I love working on the computer or why would I also be writing four blogs and trying to work on two books also! Crazy, I am sure comes to mind.
If you can work from home, order your supplies online and grow a garden and can your own food...........then life can be so much nicer as you are supplying most of your own needs. Most times you have to travel to and from the job, then do what someone else tells you and then run to a store and pick up something for supper. Have you ever walked all over a store trying to decide what to buy for supper? You feel like hitting your head against the meat counter! What can you buy that is quick, because you don't feel spending your whole evening in the kitchen preparing a meal that takes a lot of time. Then cleaning up, after the 15 minutes it took your family to consume it.
Working at home means you can leisurely prepare a nice meal over a whole afternoon. While in between you are back and forth at the computer listing more products, or writing another article, or working on your website. So many things are done at home in the same period you are working on generating your income. No more rush, rush. And if you get sick or hurt a leg or something, you are at home and can nurse yourself back and still be earning your income.
If you work at home what helped you make that choice? Was it from necessity? Or was it something else? What do you find is your favorite reason for staying home to earn your income? I am really interested in your opinion of this subject. I get tired of people who think if you work at home you do not work. Or that you are not earning a living and are always trying to tell you about a job they know about. Usually they are in worse shape financially than I am! I am not rich by no means, but I can pay my bills and buy what I need, and that is all I need or ask the Lord for.

Your Blog is lovely :) I wish you well with your books and strings!
Generators: Has hubby looked into Listers? Old fashioned diesels, but you can use ANY oil in them. Even waste engine oil(filtered). Big and with a low thrumming sound. Few parts to worry about. Big output.
The Barn is awesome. Wrong side of the country for me, tho :(
Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting.
The generator that he is interested in is a magnetic one. We have a gasoline one right now and we plan on doing away with all fossil fuels in the future so that is why he is building this one.
Wow! Getting rid of ALL fossil fuels??? That is so admirable! I wish we were anywhere close to there!
I have stage four cancer. The battle against that cancer, plus the side affects of chemo have left me pretty well worthless for the usual job because there are times I just HAVE to quit: typing, standing, walking. Sometimes it just hits, no warning. So I've been trying, pretty unsuccessfully, to start earning an income from the web. I'm saving us money though by having dinners ready, so when dh gets home from work, he isn't faced with what to cook, or the easy out (but understandable when you are exhausted from work) of take out.
Good luck with your enterprises. Is Bonanzle more active than Amazon? From what I understand, Ebay is a wasteland, profitable to buyers, but not really to sellers.

Bonanzle is still pretty new. But the sellers are all working together to try to generate sales and buying from each other more. I just finished listing most of my books, now I can start promoting it.
I will have to look into Bonanzle. I am going to be having a long look around your site, love it!
