HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2012! 

My own most popular site: Work From Home Ideas

What I do for a living: Lawyer Marketing Freelancers and 1pic4twenty.co.za and oDesk

I also enjoy earning extra income by using Google Adsense and am currently (January 2012) earning about $200 per month from Adsense. (Although Dec 2011 was a worrying only $125.) These earnings come mostly from my own sites.

January 2012 marks my 18th month on HubPages. Learn more about HubPages.

I'm not yet one of the HubPages Success Stories but maybe one day I will be.

Hi! I'm South African and together with my boyfriend Tony, I work from home in East London, South Africa as a freelance web designer and also host, set up, and customize free-theme WordPress sites. 

I also do some freelance work, related to Web design, SEO, Internet research, and writing, from home or through the Freelance Job Site oDesk. 

Due to doing freelance work for a Personal Injury Lawyer in Florida since late 2009, Tony and I have also started a site called Lawyer Marketing Freelancers.

I enjoy SEO. I'm more on the natural SEO side of the natural SEO vs PPC debate. 

We are also freelance writers, doing a bit of photography too. Although we sometimes take photos for accommodation establishments when we design their websites, we also enjoy taking photos in and around my hometown East London, South Africa.

Tony, then 50, took my HubPages profile photo on my 41st birthday in May 2010.

I'm the proud mom of two boys, who are 12 and 13 (2011).  I enjoy parenting and supporting my boys with their school activities.  One of the 4 WordPress blogs I have hosted on the same server as my 1pic4twenty site has articles related to education, schooling, and parenting, and is called School and Stuff.

My WordPress blogs on their own host servers are Online Flea Market and Free Website Templates and Dog Bed and In East London and Lawyer Marketing Freelancers

I've also recently (late October 2011) started another WordPress site called After Matric to hopefully assist matriculants in South Africa with what to do after matric, especially when they struggle to find work in South Africa - the youth unemployment rate in South Africa is quite high. Having a matric certificate or even a university degree is no longer a good guarantee that matriculants will find work in South Africa.

Because Tony and I work from home as freelancers, and also earn a little extra income online, and believe that many others can also work from home, we have various work from home ideas and tips for people on 4 of our sites:

Work from Home Ideas - has a blog called Work From Home South Africa

I enjoy writing, web design, WordPress (.org), SEO, photography, blogging, parenting, and movies.

I appreciate and like honest and down to earth people and those who try hard at all they do.

Besides writing for clients, writing for my own sites and blogs, and writing for HubPages, I also enjoy writing for (and earning from) other writing sites like Factoidz and Constant Content, but most of my online writing is added to my own sites.

I like to use Best-Reviewer

I'm happy to be on HubPages, and I'm happy to be working from home.  Just about anyone can work from home if they really want to, and if they put in the effort.
