I very recently joined Hubpages (like 3 days ago 9/13/2009). I came across this news story about a woman who lost her job and started doing google weblinks for a living and making more money than I do standing on my feet all week doing hair! Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely, positively love my job and my clients, I wouldn't give it up for the world. But my thought was hey why not make money doing the job I love and make a little extra since I like playing around on the web. Well that story of course as most of you probably also found out led me to a site that wanted me to make a "small" investment for the software to do the google thingy. As much as I do play on the web I knew there had to be free info out there on this subject. So I started diggging around and lo and behold guess what I found! A well written, honest article about just what I was looking for making money with google, written by sucess79. I quickly found out that there is so much more here to offer than just making money and success79 tells you right off the bat that you will make money over time but it is not the "get rich quick" theme that so many try to sell you. Cheers to success79 for your honesty. But it didn't stop there I found a whole new world rich with articles and stories on everythng I love in life. I am just getting started exploring Hubpages, but have fallen in love the entire site and the great writers here. If fact I was so inspired I decided to try my hand at writing and this is my second article, we shall see how that works out but it sure does appeal to my artistic side. There are many more well written articles on the howtos of this site and I have only just begun :BUT kudos to all you authors out there and I will be back to give more credit where credit is due. As for me for now I'm off to do some hair! Thanks again you great guys and gals on Hubpages! Oh yeah, if I make money here thats just great, if not I'm still here to stay.
