  • The Forgotten Forum Introduction
    Hello, my name is Sophia and I'm from Beautiful BC, Canada and home to the 2010 Winter Olympics. I started working in late 2002 in various online endeavors. I own a work at home website, a health blog and moderate three work at home forums. I'm looking forward to contributing and getting to know you all better.

  • 5 Reasons Why Sitting At The Computer Can Be A Health Risk
    Sitting at the computer all day can pose some serious health risks. If you think that sitting doesn't involve a lot of work think again. Although it requires less muscular effort, the muscles are required to hold the trunk, the neck and shoulders in a fixed position.

  • Mystery Shopping - Ten Helpful Tips
    Back in my days when I worked in retail for a number of years I wished I had a job where I would evaluate sales associates on their customer service skills. We had comment cards available to all our shoppers if they chose to comment about our service, but it wasn't quite the same thing because once the shopper filled out the comment card it was given back to the sales associate to hand in at the end of the day with the cash deposits.One day I overheard the supervisor say to one sales associate she was secretly shopped! It was the first time I've heard of mystery shopping.
  • Are You Providing Good Customer Service?
    Customer service is so important wherever you go. Larger businesses are adopting automated services and most times when I phone for customer service I am pushing a number on my telephone keypad and some times I don't even get a real person to talk to. I find it extremely frustrating. How about going to a bank and you can't find a teller because they don't have one? Sorry, but not everything can be handled and taken care of online. I walk into a department store and I don't see anyone who works there let alone any sales associate. They don't even have cashiers in the departments anymore. The checkout is in a centralized location. Mind you, not all department stores are like this. Even if they aren't what is the percentage of finding someone to help you when you need it?
  • 4 Simple Ways To Make Money Online!
    Frequently I come across subject titles along the lines of "HELP! I need to find a work at home job NOW!" I have to admit it's a frightening statement with signs of desperation oozing rather disgustingly pleading for a WAH job that may not come into existence for many months. There is really no way of making fast easy money NOW. Did I really say that? Well it's true to an extent. You can't make tons of money quickly online -- legally that is, but you can make money. While you're not going to make enough to pay all your bills, your mortgage or a down payment on your summer cottage, you will make enough to enjoy a venti mocha java from Starbucks and maybe pay a smaller household bill! Use your imagination and you may have enough to put a little bit away for your summer cottage.

  • Does The Fat Burning Soup Diet Work?

  • Asthma Takes My Breath Away
    I was diagnosed with asthma in 2003 after taking the Methacholine Challenge Test. This test determines whether you're asthmatic or not and lets you know your severity level. These are breathing tests using the drug methacholine to simulate an asthma attack. The methacholine will cause your airways to contrict and narrow. If you're not asthmatic, this will not affect you in any way, shape or form.

  • Safeguarding Your Personal Information When Applying For Work At Home Jobs
