This is not as easy as it used to be.

I also spend a lot of time thinking about how to utilize my time on the internet and how to transform the art I do online into money. Similar to what it seemed from the things you wrote, I also think that I would do it anyway. But, it does take a lot of time, and making money from the things you love to do is a great feeling. I think that the method you offered is a good way to start utilizing your blog and turning it into an income, but because it's not one single way, but a combination of several ways, it seems like a time consuming method, and that's something a blogger should take into consideration. Thank you for the interesting thought.

If you don’t have a business plan, you have no business. It’s brutally simply. Why? Laziness. That all. If you want your business to success (offline or online) you need to spend some time putting this on paper. Also, in the book, Anderson makes two other points: 1. You need people to be able to FIND your site first – the more your content is laser-focused, the more likely you are to attract a niche audience 2. Freemium is just up-selling in disguise – you need some way to generate cash, otherwise it’s just a hobby SCORE has oceans of free material on getting started. http://www.score.org/index.html Regards, Ivan Hi Tom,
