The times, they are a changin'

The Google changes do not appear to have had a lasting effect on me so far. I am happy to report that and hope that most others are finding the same thing. Times are still changing quickly in the online content world though. I see them as wonderful changes that will bring back the great commaraderie of the past and leave behind old wounds that were carelessly inflicted on others in the name of trying to be the top dog. That is a good thing for all work at home people. It means less commercialism and more of the reason I ever got on the internet to begin with. To talk to old friends and meet some new friends and maybe learn how to make a little money along the way.

All three of those things have happened since I first connected to the internet back in the early nineties. There has been so much progress in technology and the way we use it. It will be nice to go a little backwards to a time where people actually cared about how they treated others whether they are on the computer or in real life.

The world is in a lot of conflict right now. With Egypt having come to an entirely new level in deciding that government needed change and with Lybia fully embroiled in a battle to get Gadafi off his seat of power, Google algorithm is the last thing we should be thinking about. Yes, yes, I know, we have to make money to survive. Hey, I'm in that boat too and don't plan to go down without a fight. The point is, there are so many things going on in the world, history making events that we should be more focused on. Here we sit talking about why Google did what they did. In the end, I don't really care why they did it. They did it and there is nothing we can do about it but find other ways to fit into the world of internet money making.

Time certainly marches on quickly. My niece just gave birth to a new baby boy. He's healthy and she and her husband are extremely happy! I am too. What does that have to do with internet writing? Well, it doesn't. It has to do with the real life that I lead in real time. It is an historic moment for the family and instead of worrying about how I can change things up in my writing, I am going to concentrate on the wonder and magic of the little life that just entered this sometimes cruel world.

Listen everyone, it will work out. Stay focused on what is important in your life and believe that it will all work out in the end because it always does. Maybe it isn't perfect. Then again, not much is in this life. I named this blog "Beginning my work at home career" and based it on whether or not I could make a living off Helium. I have proven to myself that it can be done. It is hard work because it takes hours and hours of time that I could spend with the family. With all the changes, that will all change as well. I will still make the same amount of money, spend much less time doing so and have time to spend with my family like never before. We can all sit and wallow in our fate that Google threw upon us. I wasn't one of the one hit hard by this. In fact, it appears to me that my Helium earnings have doubled as of today. Will I argue over that? Nope, I certainly won't.

The blog will likely be more off topic in future presentations. I have already proven my point of making a living off Helium. Now I am out to share the knowledge that I have gained over the past four years as a Helium writer and how I will survive after all the changes. I haven't worked from home in those four years. It is much closer to about two years. But the knowledge gathered during that time could be very helpful to some who are just getting started or want to get started. There is still hope and a lot of it..... Stay tuned. I'm not nearly finished yet!!
