This morning, following along the lines of yesterday’s post about Qassia, I just could not bring myself to type in junk. Sorry, must be me, but what someone had for breakfast is not my cup of tea (no pun intended).

So, I chose the high road, writing off-the-cuff. In other words, my experiment this time around opted to choose the “Unpublished original intel” option, and give it a go right from their website.

Here’s what I ended up writing (remember it’s not rocket science LOL!): (more…)

I’ve known Denise Hall for years. To this day, she works with me over at My Wizard Ads.

Denise’s story is like many online. She started with nothing, built slowly, found her true calling, and is off and running. To this day, she works her buns off.

That’s also why today, while reading her current issue of Home Business On A Budget, the following struck me as something we all need to keep in mind. (more…)

Recent posts (and throughout our archives), we demonstrate proof that there is money to be made online. And today’s post will be no exception to that rule. In fact, you’ll be downright excited at the prospects if you choose to keep reading! (We give you facts and figures for the truly skeptical that support what we’ve been advocating… blogging/writing your way to wealth). (more…)

We’ve written on and off about the power of using your own skills to generate the cash flow you’ve been hoping to achieve. Our own tests of services like SocialSpark prove there is money to be made using your own skills - at any level. Now here’s further proof that the law of supply and demand online is still going strong. (more…)

If you’ve been following our blog, you’ll know that we talk off and on about the huge potential income stream you have at your fingertips… you and what you know.

With the state of the economy at the moment, or even if it wasn’t so scary, you always have the means of making a living online for yourself. This resource depends on no man (or woman) but yourself. It’s you, your keyboard, your thoughts, your knowledge, your willingness to be your own boss and work for yourself.

Let me digress for just a moment to remind you about some of the reasons why I’m revisiting this money making idea for you (trust me it’s worth the reminder): (more…)

There are so many great writers out there, imparting wisdom, humor, and more, that a quick trip around the Whole Hog Blogs network is in order for our relaxed, leisurely Sunday post.

Let’s start with a household dilemma… where to take your old lightbulbs, Linda over at Forcedgreen tells you who, what, where and how:

According to the EPA’s Energy Star Program, if every American swapped one incandescent bulb for a CFL, it would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, save more than $600 million in annual energy costs and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from 800,000 cars.

Wondering what the three “s’s” stand for in the word “success?”, there’s Janet (more…)

This morning while actively participating in some marketing over at the Firestorm Forum, I came across the ideal post for our blog today

You aren’t aware of this, but I really sweat the typos, grammar, punctuation, etc., while creating and posting a new blog post. Ask Scott how often I read and re-read and tweak and change. Luckily, he’s a patient guy, and also believes we need to post our “best work.”

And, nothing can back me up as much as the blog post I found today. The headline (or link name) This Kid Is Lucky To Be Alive really scared me at first. I was anticipating (horribly) the worst. (more…)

Once again another week has come and gone without a single post made to this blog. I cannot believe it - and I’m highly disappointed in myself. I have reasons - wonderful clients and customers needing personalized attention - but not posting is having an effect on the headway we’ve made on this blog.

The obvious point is when you get traffic to anything - and in this case a blog - you must sustain that traffic or watch your Alexa ranking (some indication of the volume of traffic) rise and fall with the tides.

With Linda’s huge successes, and those of our fellow Whole Hog Bloggers, we strive to also stay on track with this whole “get traffic” thing

If you don’t post at regular intervals (and often) your traffic obviously fluctuates. The reasons for this are two-fold. (more…)

Of course I emailed him back and forth several times. I’m afraid I climbed on my soapbox and did my thing (which he did appreciate). The crux of the making-money dilemma is something I will cover in the next post (I promise!) and present solutions to that problem.

In the meantime though, I want to take a moment and show you a shortcut to making money - under your own steam, without relying on anyone or anything else online.

After proving to ourselves, for ourselves, that a person can make money writing online, I set off on a journey to uncover a resource that could shave years off the learning curve. A way to step up to the plate much faster in the field of writing - any kind of writing - online.

With income potentials of $85,000 or more per year, this is hardly something you will want to poo-poo out of turn without researching!

I’m happy to report I found such a resource - and  (more…)
