Teresa Estes, a licensed mental-health counselor, watched as business at her private practice dwindled last year. Then the single mother turned to her keyboard to boost her income.

Ms. Estes applied to become an "expert" on LivePerson Inc., a Web site where clients pay for online chat time with professionals and advisers of all stripes. For $1.89 a minute -- a rate she set -- the 39-year-old from Marianna, Fla., dispenses advice to clients around the globe.

Very interesting - a legitimate site, as apposed to the crapolas.

As a retired writer/editor 'old fart', I am looking into this!

We're all going to need extra income to pay our soon to be inflated energy/utility bills, compliments of the phony Carbon Tax that the alBorites and obamination will pass - even if we're encased in new Ice Age.

But hey, can't call it a 'tax increase on the little folk, can we...?

Next move, maybe the ONE will send more of our tax money to the little people of the elite color class to pay for their increases on utilities, gas, cigarettes, etc. After all, it's "their turn" according to the tenets of Black Liberationism - of which the obamination was a member of for 20 years.

Hold on - 'gonna be a bumpy ride.
