This is a blog based on World of Warcraft. That is obvious. But, to keep it interesting (the truth is, my notebook where I keep track of quests is not near this computer), I’m going to add a few hints and tips I’ve learned. Hints and tips? We don’t need hints and tips. Read on.

  World of Warcraft charges $14.95 a month to play. A 60 day game card is $29.99. A 6 subscription is $77.00 That is what we accept as players, and we pay it every month, on time. I work from home. I have my reasons for that. My dad is sick in a nursing home, and I need to be able to leave immediately. I am a nurse, licensed in 2 states, and I do very detailed work. I audit charts sent digitally to my computer. Sometimes the charts are 12 pages long, and other times, they are 350 pages. The job is seasonal, and lasts about 10 months out of the year.    

      Being a nurse is not what it should be.  The companies take full advantage of you. You are worked for twelve hours or more, and only allowed to sit for maybe a half hour, while eating, if you have time. You are allowed approximately 8 minutes per chart, and are expected to dangerously take care of 25 people. The more I read about nursing, the more I’m scared to even begin working with patients again. They wonder why there’s a nursing shortage? That is a totally different blog. I’ve worked from home for the last 2 years. I love what I do.

   I understand why we are charged to play World of Warcraft. The graphics are incredible. Just today I had my level 70 night elf, Sarabellum, in Howling Fjord. It is one of the new areas, only reached by having the expansion pack, which was released with record sales last week.  The graphics blew me away. The castles look real. The forest fires, appears as if viewing the news out of California this week. The snow, sends shivers on  bare arms. The water is crystal clear. Blizzard did their job.

   When I deicided to play World of Warcraft, it was then that I knew there would need to be a way of paying for it. I usually have a mnonth or two lag time, when my job is in remission. Last year I did mystery shopping. I became a certified mystery shopper, and I got paid well. I still get calls offering me to do the higher paid mystery shopping.

   This year, I decided I’d do something I’ve always wanted to do. That is to try freelance writing. If you can read, and write a blog, you can freelance write, and get paid for it. My research lead me to www.textbroker.com. My email was confirmed, and my sample was accepted. I wrote about traveling to Kansas City, Missouri. My sample placed me as a 3 star writer, and that’s not shabby. It took nerve, to start. Once I started to write articles for Textbroker, I began getting paid. They pay out every month around the 5th of the month, and one needs $10.00 in their account. I have written 5 articles at around 300-500 words a piece, and already I have over 30.00 in my account. 2 articles were sent back to me, and I immediately realized what I had written incorrectly. After correcting it, I resubmitted it, and I got paid. It takes me about 30minutes to write articles. Not to be humorous in any way, most are about health, gifts, holidays, yarn, make up and blogging. Yarn? Yes,I’ve gotten paid to write 2 articles about Merino Wool.

  Once the article is approved, you are sent the approval in  your email, and it includes a copy of what you wrote. I do believe that most of the buyers (or providers) are from foreign countries, and don’t have the time to write or advertise their website. The pay immediately shows up in your account. That is motivation to continue to do the job. It is fun. And it pays quite well. Infact I’m using it to pay my bills for a little bit of time.

   Also, there’s Reviewstream. You get paid .40 cents to 2.00 to write reviews. It takes about 15 minutes to write a good review. The reviews can be about anything and everything. If you like something, review it. If you donot like something, let people know. I have made about 20.00 with writing reviews. The pay out is at 50.00, which I suspect should be by about Monday. The company has a forum, and are very active with their review writers. Reviewstream is motivating me to keep writing. 

   During this time, I had an opportunity to become a Weegy expert. That is totally fun. Apparently people send you texts, and you answer them on your computer. You are paid .20 conversation, which lasts about 15 seconds. It seems to be like Chacha, but I am  not familiar with that company, except the test was awkward, and I didn’t pass. There is no test to be a Weegy expert. What I do is this: I keep the little window open,and I write articles or reviews, in the other browser. I also keep a tab on wiki.org, and a tab on google.com. When Weegy dings, I bounce to the window, and answer the question to the best of my ability. The questions have ranged from a complicated scientific equation, to the compounds of a certain mineral, to “What are you  eating for lunch?” Weegy does not care what the question is, you get credited, and it is on your account the next day. Weegy is open from 9:00-2:00 central time, including weekends. Weegy does not get the website traffic as it should. But some days, I get over 10 conversations. I think the payout is $20.00. Think about it like this: It’s $20.00 you didn’t have before, and it’s fun, and memorable.

   I hope this post helps you pay for a month of playing World of Warcraft. Tomorrow I’m going to start posting the Darnassus rep quests, and will have my notebook within easy reach. Do check out these companies. I’ll post more, if I find other companies that are as good as these. I’m writing this post to assure you that you can work form home, it just takes some work to find the right job.
