Your story is not atypical. Everyone I know who leaves teaching feels better. All that negativity that we live with every day has all sorts of effects that we are only beginning to understand now. Exam marking is a good place to start, also think about private tuition. I did a lot of both for 20 years. the tuition is very rewarding mentallyy and financially, totally different from standing in front of 32 year 9 kids who don't want to be there. No discipline hassles. I was doing 40 hours a week on top of full-time teaching, so I do know what I am talking about. Writing online/having your own website takes time to earn money and it is no way a get rich quick scheme. If you have something you feel strongly about then your own website is a good idea. I can give you a few pointers if you need them... Take care & stay in touch please Phil Hey Mildred

For the last 3 years, I have been saying outloud 'This job is slowly killing me'...Sunday night involved me feeling sick to my stomach anticipating the day to come. My weekdays involved coming from school, picking up the children, making dinner, putting children to bed, cleaning kitching, and sitting down for 4-5 hours well into past midnight EVERY NIGHT to prepare/mark for the next day. On the third week of September this year, I was diagnosed with incurable cancer - I'm only 37!!!! Can I blame it on the job? yes and no. I blame it on the fact that I felt i was stuck in the job with no way out. We have a fairly nice lifestyle and my salary is a part of that...we could not afford for me to quit and continue with the lifestyle. I am now on my 4th month of full pay leave and went to my headteacher to disclose my interest of NEVER returning to the classroom as a teacher. Since then, my latest CT scan showed that my 3.9 tumour is "unmeasurable" and "not visible". My bone has thickened up and is back to normal level and my liver lesions have reduced by 60%. People ask me "How are you?" and I answer "I'm great!!!!" and it's true! the thought of not having to return to work, I believe has helped me in my recovery for now. I still have another 8 chemo treatments left before my next scan but I'm confident that I am going to achieve more very good results. My body isn't fighting itself. My immune system has kick started after years of dragging myself in when I feel poorly due to the fact that I can't possible face sending in 6 Spanish/French lesson plans for a cover teacher. However long I have left on this Earth, I WILL NOT step in a classroom as a teacher again. This is how I arrived at your website. I am now looking for ways to get some income before my pay stops completely! marking exams is my new idea, translating/interpreting???? writing teacher book for use in classroom? Thank you for making me feel that i'm not the only one that finds teaching difficult! I salute all others who can find a balance between teaching and life outside teaching, who are motivated and don't feel like throwing up every Sunday night with the thought of the week ahead.

I think you'll find the no-backlinking strategy can be very effective - and you'll feel like you're making the internet better, not worse. Thanks for the endorsement Phil, I really appreciate it.

I did read a bit from your website last night and liked what I saw. I will spend some more time there today. Thank you also for your very kind words regarding my blog. It is truly a labor of love and although it doesn't have a large readership it keeps me writing about subjects I find meaningful. I will be in touch for sure and thank you for thinking of including me. All best, Teresa Thank you Phil for your honest assessment. I did read a bit from your website last night and liked what I saw.

A true gateway to the way you feel about things. Your writing is very powerful. To be totally honest if I had your talent I would not write at IB. IB makes pennies IF you write commercially based articles such as <em>16 Reasons to Buy a Sony Vaio Laptop</em> I cannot write that kind of article and it would be a waste of your talent for you to do so. For IB to work you need to build 25 links to an article and that is mind-deadening. I do have another suggestion though...I have a website <a href="http://www.21CWoman.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.21CWoman.com/</a> that you might check out. This won't make you any money, but would get readers for what you write and build your reputation. Regular writers are featured on the Home Page. Hope to hear from you soon Take care Phil . Hi Teresa

I found your blog through infobarrel and found this to be an interesting post. Just today at my day job (I work in a public library) I had the thought that I want to write for people. I don't want to play games that try to capture the attention of search engines. I keep wondering wondering if infobarrel is really worth my time and energy. Don't get me wrong, I want it to work because I find it enjoyable, but I don't want to waste my time. Any thoughts you might have on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Teresa Hi.

Yes check out http://thekeywordacademy.com/coaching/ the official TKA page. This tool used to be fantastic, but became overloaded on too slow a server and was taking weeks instead of hours to complete a job. The Keyword Tool Domination that TKA recommend is also closing down and he is recommending <a href="https://www.keywordstrategy.org/?ks=2183" rel="nofollow">Keyword Strategy</a>. I use KS and it costs $29 a month. I have a 10% off link if you would like me to send it to you by email... HI S.G.

One of my main interests in TKA was the Niche Refinery because it was FREE, but now I'll have to pay for another tool? Do you know how much it costs? I'd really appreciate your response.
