Being exposed to a fast-paced environment, working for 8-10 hours a day for 13 years and doing what I have studied for were what I loved when I still was a career woman. That’s why it was a big challenge for me when I started to become a full-time mom. There came a sudden shift of lifestyle and change in role to fulfill. So when I had to stay home and look after my kids I felt I still needed something to work on that’s why I started blogging. I need to keep my mind busy and at the same time earn for myself and my parents left back home.

With the internet as my only companion when left home alone, I browse through the web to look for opportunities to make money online. There were even times when I joined Pay-to-Click (PTC) just to earn even a few dollars. Knowing that I have worked in a bank and was exposed to investments and foreign currency, an online friend introduced me to forex trading and showed how to make money from it. It was through Financial Spread Betting. Based on my understanding, it simply is betting on the change in the price of any financial instrument be it a share of a corporation, a currency, a commodity or an index. This is really new to me. I never thought I could earn just by predicting if a price of a certain share will go up and bet on it. I was only exposed on the common stock trading when I was working. I see it as easy as making a wise guess but backed with some basic knowledge and understanding on investments and equities. What’s also great about it, earnings from it are tax free. As I was researching, memories of my studies in fundamental and technical analysis came back to me and more so, aroused my interest. I like working on numbers and I know if I venture on this I can apply my knowledge and of course make money.

To win in Financial Spread Betting, I think one should expose himself and learn the basics. This may be hard for those who have zero-knowledge in this field of finance but continuous studies and application will get good results.
