blogging can make money,
just like JohnChow and Problogger,
and how much you can earn is the main point indeed.

Great post folks!

I’ve been working from home ever since I got out of high school.

You can do offline marketing and start your own offline business or you can harness the power of the internet.

I’ve decided to do both.

It’s much harder (some say) to stay disciplined cause you don’t have a boss - YOU are the boss. I would suggest getting an accountability partner so you can stay accountable to getting stuff done.

Go buy a white board and write all your goals down and follow this process.

Goal - Strategy - Action.

Write our the goal, put together a thorough game plan and go take action.

Good luck all!

You mentioned “data entry” for a work at home job, and I have seen so many sites that offer that, but they want a fee. Asking for a fee leads to the conclusion that they are scams. Can you please give us some “authentic” data entry job sites, thanks.

It helps, but on the other hand I know how much time this stuff takes up, and how little some people earn from it.

I bet a lot of people earning money online get less than minimum wage if you work out their hours…. thats ok if you are at home anyway looking after kids or whatever, but being employed earns me a lot more than I could scrape online…. short of a really big idea….

We may work more hours, but we don’t commute to our jobs. When I worked at a bank, I spent an hour on the road in the morning, was forced to take an hour for lunch, then an hour to drive home.

That’s 3 hrs a day related to my job, where I didn’t get paid. So an 8 hr day was actually 11. So you could say I’d have to take my 8hrs of pay and average them over 11hrs.

Now if I work 11 hrs…it’s all work. Not to mention I save on gas(!), mileage on my car, business attire, contributions to whoever is having a baby, getting married, etc. And when my kids were younger….no daycare expenses or after school care.

Then there are the tax advantages……

I thank God everyday.

Thats an interesting story if you provide a good service to the point that you get personal recommendations like yourself then you will always do well…. IMO

Good luck with it!!

I started by just telling family & friends. They knew I had 3 kids to raise so they were great at spreading the news. I also have a web site.

I learned that many folks like researching and booking their cruises with someone online to get a great deal, but miss the one on one. So I offer both, great fares and personal
service. I’m not listed in the phone book.

My web site along with repeat and referral business, keep me busy!

Yeah it wasnt just the search side of things either, he kept going on about it being military technology with no civillian use and was consequently slow to develope browsers, web servers…. all of it….
