Had to share it on our own site. Liked the one about blogging because of the lifestyle it allows as you are living proof of it. This is a great low down of what you can do. You have to consider your own abilities as well. For example, podcasting is never for me. I love to watch people who are doing it successfully but I cannot imagine doing it myself.

Another example is that some people are great with words and others love to speak with codes. You need to decide which one you are first. Are you good at creative work or are you good ad writing? This brings us to the next point. If you are good at one part of your business you can concentrate on that area and employ or contract others to do the other part.

For example, I know coding but terrible at designs. So, whenever I need a website I contract it out to someone who is a lot more imaginative than me. It may take a while to find your thing but it is a process you need to go through first before you fully commit to earning a living online.

I am investigating extra business activities right now, and the other 9 you list Sean offer a starting point … thanks man! All of this sounds really awesome! I need your help. Now I am not very computer literate. So I need to do something fairly easy I am not much of a writer. My mind wanders when I try to think and stick to one idea. Because all I keep thinking about is make some money fast to help my family. Something that I can start and get running right away.

Something that will change the way families are struggling today like mine would be great. I am trying to reach that financial independence. To be happier and to know that I have finally beat this never ending financial roller coaster we call life. And to try to reach out to families who are trying to do the same thing.
