If you fancy yourself a free lance writer, you might want to check out Suite 101. You’re paid through sharing the advertising from your pages.
Suite101.com’s  door is open to the curious novice looking for a “101″ intro to any of our 2,000 topics, but it’s also a meeting place for 4.5 million readers and 500,000 [...]

Just cuz they’re from MIT doesn’t mean they can do the math evidently. The vaunted $ 100 laptop is now estimated to cost $188 when it hits production.
While less than $200 for an innovative, wireless-enabled, hand-powered laptop is a relative bargain, a price nearly twice what the project’s memorable nickname promised could make it harder [...]

Have you gotten an invite to DealDotCom yet? If not get your invite here… it’s simple and painless to set up a free account.

This won’t suit most home businesses but some might be able to capitalize on it. Lots of small businesses might be interested.
Here’s an interesting Vlog entry by David Frey about “Do It Yourself Television Advertising”. It’s a promo for a product he’s rolling out, but you might still like to hear about it.

I have been letting this lens sit around too long in an incomplete fashion. Given the junk you find on Squidoo, by comparison people (or their algorithm!) thought it was complete!
Oh well. At least now it’s in better shape.
You could apply it to working at home by tweaking the rss feeds you use, the principle [...]

Basically it’s a content exchange.
People who sign up from your blog to promote their blog help your posts get promoted on the system.
It’s developing so as more information becomes available I’ll pass it along.
