From bobbing for apples to blogging for dollars

Party people – who would like a few extra dollars in their pocket? Those of you that know me should know by now that I, you, me, are always trying to come up with some niche way to earn a few extra bucks…or more! I am confident that with my network of friends, collectively we could come up with a few good subjects to write about. Blogging is huge! There are people who literally make a living of writing and maintaining one or more blogs.

When you have a few minutes, read through these articles and lets get a conversation rolling. Please leave a comment with your name, email, and URI/website (if you have one) along with your thought. The one thing I'd like you all to keep in mind is that the main focus of a blog does NOT have to be the same subject as what your main work focus is for your entire life (i.e. if you're a teacher, you don't need to blog about education). Blogs can be about anything! Let's just get a nice list of possible subjects going.

Full-time freelancing

As a guy who's been self-employed for the past four years, I'm always interested in reading suggestions from others who have had great success. For those of you unfamiliar with Cameron Moll, he is a very talented designer and runs a fabulous blog discussing the finer points of design and web standards. Below are two articles he wrote about the finer points of freelancing. They are both great reads. Enjoy.
