Recently, my husband referred me to a website where you can find on-line work from editing or ghost-writing to data entry and accounting. He kept urging me to join for one reason - the fun.
Finding a job: FUN!?
Although I plan to use the site to find small editing and writing jobs, I love the TESTS. There are hundreds of qualifications test that you can take to test your skills (computer, writing, editing, grammar). They are 40 questions or so and they are hard. Why do I suggest you take these tests? It shows where you're lacking in editing skills. When you finish a test, it shows where you excelled and where you need work. Then you can study those subjects. Ex. On one test, I had issues with INDIRECT SPEECH and did well on PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES. So, I will work on indirect speech. Also, you can re-do the exams and the better you do, the more you get paid. So, check it out.

I am so bad at editing. I can write but my brain goes numb when it comes to editing.
Oh, I LOVE a qualification test. Seriously!
I'll check out that link. I really enjoy seeing how I fair in such areas as editing, writing, grammar, etc. (I don't much care about computer skills...)
You always have such unique posts. Great information!

Ann, thanks for sharing. I will definitely check it out! : )
Eva, yeah, we all go through that. I thought, when I took up writing, that writing was get it down on paper and send it off, it would turn into a book. (I was young...and naive.) I have been learning so much over the last few years and continue to learn.
Corra, hope you find it engaging. I don't mean to add to your already busy schedule.
Kimberley, like I said, I hope you find it as interesting as me, but if you don't like it, you can always forget about it.

Sounds like another great site to distract me! Thanks for finding it...

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a
few months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
