A few years ago I treated myself to a netbook as I could see some of the advantages, but netbooks also have some disadvantages too, and I will detail the advantages and disadvantages of a netbook in the following article.

A short while ago I signed up to a site called Spoonflower. The site allows people to sell their own designs printed onto fabrics. Once printed and proofed, the designs can then be sold on the Spoonflower site and you can also order quantities of your own design.

Writing online is an easy way to make money. However, if you don’t want to spend your time writing lengthy articles then there are plenty of alternatives. Paid forum posting can be a lucrative pastime for a lot of people, and while you are unlikely to get rich quick, there are people making themselves an extra income every month. Paid forum posting is something that I’ve been looking into myself recently and I’ve signed up for a few sites to see how it goes.
