not as cold summer nights

If it were not for the inconvenient sleeping habits of my unborn child, I would have dozed off to sleep two hours ago. I have read that most babies inside the womb are active at night. That, unfortunately explains the "sleepless nights" for pregnant women.


Well, not only have I been reading articles about pregnancy and the newborn child, I also have engaged myself in searching for income-generating "projects" I can do at home. I am lucky though I had a mother who loves doing research. She suggested I start-up a loading business. It was a perfect idea, since it was something I can do at home and it doesn't require much "movement." All I need to do is use my thumb!


We looked up the website of LoadXtreme, run by Portal Innovation Corp. They offer a one-sim-load-all business where you can sell over-the-air load and prepaid load, game, internet and phone cards at the same time. The good thing about it is that it doesn't require a high capital, you can do transactions over the internet, and that rest assured you would generate money out of it since almost everyone nowadays own cellphones. You get the idea.


The good: I've been doing business since April, and so far, it has been rewarding. Considering that I haven't opened up to a wide market range yet, because the owner of the apartment won't allow the tenants to post anything "business-y" up front, and because of my condition, I haven't gone out to publicly open up my business. (You see, I stay home and I love staying home, because I'm really, really heavy. Even walking turned out to be grueling task!) I have only been selling to family members, my partner's family, and myself of course. AND considering that it's so easy run, I don't even need to tire myself for it. The bad: Sometimes though, they run system maintenance, so you can't carry out any transactions. But you only need to wait for a couple of hours before they restore their service.


So, if you're not at all busy... meaning, if you're like me, heating your ass off all day sitting on the couch, doing nothing at all, it would be best if you tried venturing into this kind of business. Why not make money out of your being a couch potato?
