To make it happen, you’re going to have to step outside your comfort zone to find creative ways to generate income. No worries, Atlantafi.com is here to help!
One of the key questions people ask themselves is this…
How Can I Make Good Money From Home?
The key is to be open to try new things. Here are some of the best ways to make money from the comfort of your home.
- Sell Your Stuff Online
- Become An Online Tutor
- Start Blogging
- Build Simple Websites
- Rent Out Your Home
- Start An OnlyFans
Let’s explore each of these money-making options before getting into more strategies.
1. Sell Your Stuff Online
If you have a bunch of old things just lying around your home, you might as well make a profit off them. Selling your things online has never been easier. Here are some websites that allow you to sell your things online:
2. Become An Online Tutor
If you’re good in a particular subject like English or math, you can make supplemental income by becoming a tutor.
Virtual learning has dramatically increased because of the coronavirus pandemic, making it a good time to be a tutor. Some sites you need to check out are:
3. Start Blogging
Bloggers make big money these days, but you have to develop a niche and an audience. If you’re interested in entertainment, you’ll have to start small and find a way to break into the business.
If you’re looking at a niche, make sure your content is unique and that your reputation is worth people’s attention. Some top blog sites are:
4. Build Simple Websites
You don’t have to be a web developer to build simple websites for clients and customers. There are some great platforms you can use to charge people good money.
How Much Does A Web Developer Make?
How much you charge to build a website has to do with how large and involved the site is. Also, it depends on if you’ll be running maintenance on the website. For a small website, a cost between $3,000 and $6,000 is reasonable. For a medium-size site, you’ll be looking at around $10,00 and up.
Here are some website platforms you can use:
5. Rent Out Your Home

Here’s How To Rent Out Your Home For Extra Income.
6. Start An OnlyFans
If you’re familiar with OnlyFans, don’t get it twisted: While the site seems to have a large fanbase only interested in intimacy, it’s a legit money-making platform.
OnlyFans is a digital content platform that allows you to charge viewers for photos and videos. You can knit a blanket and make money by showing others how it’s done.
The site charges 5 cent commission for the opening months. If you get just between 1% and 5% of your audience to subscribe, you could make between $1,499 and $7,495 per month, according to the site.
Here’s How To Sign Up For OnlyFans and Make Money Fast.
How Can I Make Money As A Stay-At-Home Mom?
Stay-at-home mothers may feel the particular need to find employment while they are at home with their children. If that’s the case, no problem!
What you moms are going to have to do is look no further than the hobbies you know and enjoy from time to time. Is there money to be made?
Yes, but you’ve got to find an angle. You need a way to turn that past-time of yours into a money-earning side job.
Here are some ideas:
- Use Grocery Shopping Apps
- Fill Out Surveys Online
- Sell Old Baby Clothes
- Hire Yourself Out on Fiverr
If you’re into fast cash, you may be looking to score money much quicker than it times it takes to build a viable side business.

The way you make an extra $1,000 a month is by getting side jobs that pay quickly. These are not opportunities that pay you a little bit at a time.
- Become A Pet Sitter
- Become A House Sitter
- Work As A Customer Service Rep
How Can I Make $100 A Day?
If you want to make $100 a day, you’re going to have to plan your strategy in a way that’s profitable every24-hour day period.
If you can land a freelance gig, you can earn in excess of $100 daily.
You can also day trade on the stock market to earn that kind of money, but you need to know what you’re doing.
Final Words
I want to emphasize that there are no get-rich-quick schemes out there that pay money each day and are legal. That’s not how it works.

The average income for a person with an OnlyFans account is between $100 and $200. Now with that knowledge, you need to decide if OF is for you. For some, it may be a great way to make money fast. The platform pays regularly once you gain an audience.
In this article, I’m going to show you how to generate income from your OnlyFans account.
What Is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a video content subscription service founded in 2016 by British tech entrepreneur Timothy Stokely. Since then, the service has grown exponentially in the U.K. and U.S.
The platform has been associated with sexual/erotic videos, but content creators are free to make whatever content they want to. That means if you can come up with something creative, people will pay for it.
How Does OnlyFans Work?
OnlyFans allows content creators to monetize by getting users to pay for video subscriptions. This makes you your own business.
The content you create is only available to those that pay you a monthly fee. Here’s what OnlyFans pays you:
As of this writing, for the first four months you can get a maximum $100 in tips. It then increases to $200.
The payout period is currently 21 days, which is an increase of 14 days.
When you sign up for an account, it’s important that you use your real name. The reason is because that is where your payment information will be directed.
Is OnlyFans Safe?
OnlyFans is safe for creators as well as subscribers. For all transactions the site uses a secure third-party payment vendor.
You can also fall victim to having your content reposted on external websites, but you have avenues you can take to get the videos removed.
That being said, you may attract some perverts or people that think you’re easy. Remember this tips.
- You can report users online or in the app.
- Never do anything you’re not comfortable with.
- Always carry yourself with respect and respect others.
Youtube vlogger Payton B says, “Be careful with what you post. If you post uncensored, if you post nude, be mindful that anybody can take your content and repost it.”
She says she made more than $20,000 her first month on OnlyFans. She did it by promoting herself on SnapChat and Twitter. “I made a lot of money,” she says on her Youtube video.
“I tell people right away that there’s no nudity on my OnlyFans, but I do make it look good. You have to have that sex appeal, you have them say, ‘What am I spending my money for?”

OnlyFans is popular because it has several streams of revenue built into the platform.
You can make money on OnlyFans the following ways:
- Subscriptions
- Pay-per-view messages
- DMs
- Tips
OnlyFans has an internal messaging system, so you have a built-in email list that you can sell to exclusively.
Youtube personality Yeahnoe says that she created a “burner” Twitter account to promote her anonymous OnlyFans account to make money.
Photo credit: Youtube.com/Yeahnoe “I only reached 70 followers on the account, so honestly don’t worry about who’s following you. Who’s clicking that link is what matters. My subscription was $5.99 a month,” she says.
“Please don’t feel like you need to have all these subscribers … for small anonymous accounts, making money through those tips, through those posts and being active [is key].”
OnlyFans content creator Mella Barbie says that “You don’t really have to sell your actual self, like sexual s— that you’re not comfortable selling, like me, I really just do like mad trick videos and I do post my boobs because my boobs are cute and I’m confident in things like that.”
She says she’ll also do twerking videos and pictures. But not everyone is a sex worker. It’s all up to you!
Final Words
ONlyFans is one of those sites that you need to be consistent with if you’re going to really make some money.
“Make sure you know your boundaries, know your limits,” Payton B says.
Once you find a niche that works for you, it works best if you expand the content expeditiously, so that you can grow an audience. Once you get an audience, you have a better chance of making money.
If you have an OnlyFans that works, let us know in the comments.

Families in Georgia can explore a wide range of K–12 education options at the Atlanta School Choice Expo, hosted by GeorgiaCAN.
This free, family-friendly event will connect parents with representatives from 75 traditional public, public charter, magnet, and private schools, online learning, homeschooling, and microschooling options, to help them find the best place for their unique child’s education.
The event will take place on Saturday, January 25, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Loudermilk Conference Center.
Throughout the Loudermilk Conference Center, families will connect with school representatives, ask questions about their programs, and gather information to help make informed decisions about their children’s education for the upcoming school year.
This year, Georgia families have even more options thanks to the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act, which introduces a $6,500 scholarship for eligible students starting in the 2025-2026 school year. This initiative expands access to private schools, tutoring, and other specialized programs, making the Atlanta School Choice Expo an excellent opportunity for families to explore these new possibilities and connect directly with educational providers.
“The Atlanta School Choice Expo creates an opportunity for families to explore all their educational options in one place,” said Steven Quinn, state outreach director of GeorgiaCAN. “By bringing together diverse learning providers under one roof, we’re helping ensure every family can find the educational environment that best serves their children.”
The family-friendly event will feature complimentary snacks and activities including photo booths, balloon artists, and music from a DJ.
GeorgiaCAN seeks to identify and advance common-sense policies that put the needs of students first, engaging local stakeholders—from community members to policy makers—to advocate for student success throughout the entire public education system.
The event is timed to coincide with National School Choice Week 2025, which will feature more than 27,000 events nationwide celebrating educational opportunities from Jan. 26 to Feb.1. The Atlanta School Choice Expo represents one of Georgia’s largest school choice celebrations.
Location Details: The Loudermilk Conference Center is located at 40 Courtland St NE, Atlanta, GA 30303.
Families can learn more and RSVP for this free event at HERE or HERE.
The National School Choice Awareness Foundation (NSCAF) raises broad and positive awareness of school choice through two charitable programs: organizing National School Choice Week each January and the research, development, and promotion of comprehensive and unbiased school navigation resources for parents via School Choice Week, Navigate School Choice, and Conoce tus Opciones Escolares. NSCAF does not advocate for or oppose legislation at any level of government and is steadfastly nonpartisan and nonpolitical.

If you’re like the rest of us, we can’t come to Atlanta to go to the game, but we can watch it and stream it online.
How To Watch the 2025 College Football Playoff

- Kickoff Time: 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025
- Location: Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Ga.
- TV channel: ESPN
A History: Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
The football history between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish is rich and marked by some memorable matchups. While not as frequent as some other rivalries, their meetings have been important and often captivating, as both programs are among the most storied in college football.
Here’s a summary of the key moments and the history between the two teams:
Early Encounters
The first meeting between Ohio State and Notre Dame occurred on November 25, 1921, at the Columbus, Ohio, where Notre Dame won 21–13. This marked the beginning of a rare but significant series of games between the two prestigious programs.
20th Century Matchups
Throughout the 20th century, the two teams faced each other on a limited basis, as both programs primarily built their schedules around other regional and national powers. However, the games they did play were often competitive and saw both teams making their marks as elite football programs.
- 1935 Sugar Bowl: Ohio State and Notre Dame met in the Sugar Bowl (January 1, 1935), a major postseason game. The Buckeyes came out victorious 21–13, giving them an early sense of national prominence. This was one of the first major postseason encounters between the two schools.
- 1950s–1970s: There were occasional meetings, but both teams often had different conference alignments and varied levels of prominence in terms of national rankings. Notre Dame was an independent team, and Ohio State was part of the Big Ten Conference. However, even in this era, they occasionally met in bowl games or high-profile regular-season contests.
21st Century and the Resurgence of the Series
The rivalry between Ohio State and Notre Dame became more pronounced in the 21st century, as both teams’ programs returned to national prominence in the college football landscape.
- 2006 Fiesta Bowl: One of the most famous recent matchups occurred in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl, which was the BCS National Championship Game. The Buckeyes, led by head coach Jim Tressel and star quarterback Troy Smith, entered the game undefeated and as the #1 team in the country. However, Notre Dame was no slouch and was led by coach Charlie Weis and quarterback Brady Quinn. The game was highly anticipated, but Ohio State triumphed 34–20, securing their national championship appearance.
- 2023 Matchup: One of the most recent matchups between the two teams occurred in the 2023 season in a highly anticipated regular season game. This game was a primetime showdown and ended with a tight finish, in which Ohio State came out victorious, 17–14, in a thriller. The game saw intense defensive play and some spectacular individual performances.
Key Themes in Their Rivalry:
- Coaching Legacies: Both teams have long-standing coaching legacies. Ohio State’s Woody Hayes, Earle Bruce, and Jim Tressel and Notre Dame’s Knute Rockne, Lou Holtz, and Brian Kelly have each shaped college football history.
- National Title Implications: Some of the games have carried serious national title implications, especially in the BCS era, and both programs have national title aspirations, which raises the stakes when they meet.
- Notre Dame’s Independence vs. Ohio State’s Big Ten Membership: The two teams don’t play each other regularly because of Notre Dame’s status as an independent, while Ohio State is in the Big Ten. This makes any matchups between the two highly anticipated, as they only meet on occasion in bowl games or scheduled non-conference games.
- Prolific Players: Both schools have produced some of the most talented players in college football history. Ohio State has had players like Eddie George, Chris Spielman, and Chase Young, while Notre Dame has boasted players like Joe Montana, Tim Brown, and Rudy Ruettiger.
Statistical Overview:
- Series Record: As of the latest games, Ohio State leads the all-time series against Notre Dame in terms of wins, but the series is closely contested.
- Key Bowl Games: Several high-profile bowl matchups have been crucial moments, such as the 2006 Fiesta Bowl and other bowl games.
Future of the Rivalry
The rivalry is expected to continue in the coming years, with the teams scheduled for future non-conference games. The occasional crossover of schedules and the constant shift in college football’s playoff structure means that Ohio State and Notre Dame will likely meet again under high stakes.
In short, while the Ohio State–Notre Dame rivalry may not have the same regularity as some other college football rivalries, it has produced many memorable games and remains an important intersection of two of college football’s most prestigious programs.

You’ve invested in a quality lace front wig, and now it’s time to clean it. How can you wash it without causing damage? Let’s break it down.
This article is going to go over some easy steps on how to wash a wig. This information comes from tried-and-true methods and years of dealing with wigs and losing money so I know what I’m talking about.
How To Wash A Wig In 7 Steps
- Here’s the first thing you need to do: Fill a bowl with cold water
- Add your wig shampoo of choice and stir it so that it mixes well
- Immerse the wig in the water and let it sit for 5 minutes
- With soft strokes, run your fingers through the hair strands. You can also gently use a comb
- Empty the bowl and refill it with water
- Add some conditioner to the wig and use a towel to dry it
- After that, just let it dry
When it is dry, make sure you detangle it with a comb. That way, styling the wig will be much easier.
Wash a Wig: 4 Easy Steps
Before washing, gently comb through the wig with a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to remove any tangles or knots. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots to avoid damaging the fibers.
Where To Get Wig Shampoo
Here are some of the best brands of wig shampoo:
- Brandywine Synthetic Revitalizing Wig Conditioner
- Awesome Synthetic Wig Shampoo [pH6] W/ Coconut Oil, 7 Ounce
- DeMert Wig & Weave System Shampoo for Natural and Synthetic Hair 8 oz
- Mara Ray Keratin Enriched Luxury 4oz Wig Shampoo
Once you’ve purchased the wig shampoo, it’s time to use it.
Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as it can damage synthetic fibers or loosen the adhesive on a lace front wig. Add a small amount of wig shampoo to the water and mix it in until it’s evenly distributed.
Submerge the wig in the water and gently swish it around. Avoid rubbing or twisting the wig, as this can cause tangling or damage. Let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water until all the shampoo is removed.
Condition the Wig (Optional)
As an option, if your wig is made of human hair or a high-quality synthetic material, you can use a wig conditioner to help keep it soft and manageable.
Apply a small amount of conditioner to the wig, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, and gently comb through with your fingers. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Dry and Style the Wig
Gently blot the wig with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid wringing or twisting the wig, as this can cause damage. Place the wig on a wig stand or a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid using a hairdryer or exposing the wig to direct heat, as this can damage the fibers.
Once the wig is completely dry, you can style it as desired using wig styling tools such as brushes, combs, or heat styling tools (if applicable). Make sure to use products specifically designed for wigs to avoid buildup or damage.
How Do You Maintain A Wig?
The key to maintaining a wig is to be gentle with it. Just like your real hair, a wig is made up of delicate hair follicles that break or can be damaged.
You should never wash your wig in hot water either, because that’s how you ruin it with heat. Natural virgin hair should be shampoo’ed gently, not roughly.
How Often Do You Wash A Wig?
The more you wear a wig, the more you’ll need to maintain it and wash it. If you wear your wig every day, then you should wash it about every fifth week.
But much of your wig’s care will depend on your activities. If you’re a waitress in a smokey bar or strip club, you might want to wash your wig much more frequently.
Final Word
After you’ve purchased a quality lace-front wig, you may be curious about how to take care of it. Washing your wig is one of the best ways to make it last.
After you spend your hard-earned money on a new lace front, wig care becomes very important. Anything less than regular maintenance is not acceptable.
If you do Zumba three times a week, you might want to wash your week on a weekly basis.

How To Take Care of Natural Hair
Caring for natural hair requires a consistent routine that focuses on moisture, protection, and gentle handling. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you maintain healthy natural hair:
1. Cleanse Regularly
- What to Do: Wash your hair weekly or biweekly using a sulfate-free shampoo to remove buildup without stripping natural oils. Use a co-wash (conditioning wash) between shampoos if needed.
- Why It’s Important: Clean hair allows your scalp to breathe and promotes growth.
2. Deep Condition
- What to Do: Apply a deep conditioner or hair mask after washing, focusing on the ends. Leave it in for 15–30 minutes, then rinse.
- Why It’s Important: Deep conditioning restores moisture, strengthens hair, and improves elasticity.
3. Moisturize
- What to Do: Use the L.O.C. Method (Leave-in conditioner, Oil, Cream) or L.C.O. Method to lock in moisture.
- Why It’s Important: Moisture prevents breakage, dryness, and split ends.
4. Detangle Gently
- What to Do: Detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, starting at the ends and working upward. Use a detangling spray or conditioner to ease knots.
- Why It’s Important: Reduces breakage and minimizes pain while styling.
5. Protective Styles
- What to Do: Opt for styles like braids, twists, or buns to protect your ends and reduce daily manipulation.
- Why It’s Important: Protective styles help retain length and shield hair from damage.
6. Trim Regularly
- What to Do: Trim your ends every 6–8 weeks to remove split ends and keep your hair healthy.
- Why It’s Important: Prevents split ends from traveling up the hair shaft, reducing breakage.
7. Avoid Heat Damage
- What to Do: Minimize the use of hot tools like flat irons and blow dryers. Always apply a heat protectant when styling with heat.
- Why It’s Important: Protects your natural curl pattern and prevents dryness.
8. Protect Hair at Night
- What to Do: Sleep with a satin or silk bonnet or on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
- Why It’s Important: Prevents breakage and maintains moisture overnight.
9. Scalp Care
