As a Mom and Grandmother, I love being at home to spend time with my family. I consider myself lucky to be able to make money online at home writing articles for Associated Content and getting paid.

It has taken me a while to figure out exactly what it was I wanted to do to make money online, but now I can not imagine not making an income in this way.

Sadly I had to get flat broke before I found where I want to be.

I have feared article writing since I started online. I guess it was a left over fear from English classes in school.

Well out of necessity I started to write articles for pay and, low and behold, I am really enjoying myself. And with article writing I am finally finding my voice. Learning to communicate in the written word is so much tougher than I imagined.

All I can think about now is my next article and how to improve it. I have a ways to go and I by no means have arrived to where I need or want to be. But I finally found where I want to be.

I want to be home, enjoying my family, being here for them when they need or just plain want me. I can take a day and do whatever I want, when I want. I can have a lot of free time or work more and make more money.

Writing articles for a content company is easy since they give you free reign on what it is you want to write about. Plus I do not need to own a website or know any of that technical stuff. All that is required of me is a computer an internet connection and a desire.

After working online for over a year I have finally found my niche. I may not be great at it yet but I will be. Hopefully some day I can feel confident enough to write a book. That is a long term goal. But if I keep doing what I am doing now I will get there.
