Freelance writing provides a wonderful opportunity for people who want to work from home. However, building a successful freelance career is about more than getting the words on paper.

One reason I’ve been busy is that I took a vacation this past weekend during the Labor Day holiday. I had the privilege of going to Rehoboth Beach, Delware with my girlfriend and some friends. We had a great time camping out and spending time on the beach. The weather was [...] Continue Reading…

The need has become compounded in recent years with the huge numbers of people who [...] Continue Reading…

If you’ve worked at home at any point in your life, then you are probably overly familiar with the your-friends-and-family-don’t-take-you-seriously phenomenon.

Of course, working from home and earning a comfortable income is still a rarity, but it is such a rarity that [...] Continue Reading…

Many of us are turning to starting, running and owning our own small business. This is a general trend here in Australia as more and more long-term full employment opportunities decrease and with the easy nature of Australian small business taxation laws. Just about everyone that I know is earning their own money and long gone are the days where we were all full-time employed. Most are successful at the beginning, but as with any successful business, [...] Continue Reading…
Think of your small business as if it were a local celebrity. The business has a place in the community, most people are aware of its presence and its activities and there is a certain image and reputation this business must uphold for the people of that community to continue to support that business. Public Relations (PR) is just as important to a small business as it is to a celebrity. How wonderful then, that the return on PR investments is among the best in the marketing business.
Many Kinds of Marketing

I’ve had the opportunity to be a beta tester for the Google+ project. For those who don’t know, Google+ is Google’s attempt at a social networking site, similar to Facebook. Google+ wasn’t always available to the general public as you had to be invited to join, but now, anyone can join by signing in to their Google account.
My Thoughts About Google+

Watching things unfold, it appears the rich will continue to get richer and we are stuck to fend for ourselves. Since you are reading this [...] Continue Reading…
Every month I do a detailed income report, showing you exactly where my income comes from. This gives you an idea of the various income streams that are available, as I strongly believe you shouldn’t place all of your eggs in one basket, as discussed in this post.
This is also a way for me to measure my success (or failure) from month-to-month. Each month will vary in income, and that’s all part of working [...] Continue Reading…
