Right now our jobs have many anxieties because of the economic downturn (at least for many of us).&nbsp; Who can blame you for wanting an escape?</p>But if keeping your job is a priority right now (as it should be for most people), then consider avoiding the onslaught of online sales while you are working. <p>Even on Cyber Monday (Dec. 1), which some experts say could be the biggest day for retail sales this year.</p> <p>Don&#39;t just take my word for it, check out the article &quot;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/career-articles-online_shopping_on_the_job-583">Online Shopping on the Job</a>,&quot; which offers some tips about how to avoid risks if you&#39;re thinking of mixing a little shopping with work.</p> <p>Remember that your employer may monitor your email and Web-surfing activity, and there may be a stated policy against using work equipment for personal use. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/jobseeker/tools/ept/careerArticlesPost.html?post=22">Big Brother is alive</a> and well in the workplace!</p>

    There are lots of ways to make money online. Some require investment, but I stay away from those. It’s too hard to tell which ones are scams. I stick with the free ones and I’ve been able to average about $1500/month or more for the last 6 months. I listed and ranked the sites I use at http://www.freewebs.com/free2workathome/
