Hi Ros, thanks for the post. I got some inspiration. How many blog does we have to make money online?

Shelley,

Put away the butter knife and get used to it.

BTW, as an ex-Torontonian, I must speak to one thing you said. People who are NOT from Toronto refer to Toronto as ‘the center of the universe’. No one I ever met in Toronto ever thought that way. That they think you’re crazy to move TO Toronto should make that clear.

No worries, you’ll be back in the Okanagan once you learn how to make money online.

Best of success!

Cheers,
Ros

Hi Ros….I just purchased your book and am going become an Affiliate Marketer. I am also a fellow Okanagan’er….well, WAS. I have moved to “the centre of the universe”….as Torontonians like to call themselves. I have been looking for a job here for months. If I hear “Why did you move FROM Kelowna TO Toronto, most people go the other way!” …one more time, I will slit my wrists with a butter knife!!! It seems the mere fact that I LEFT Kelowna has made me an undesirable employee. Missing Kelowna, bored, and umemployed… I decided to become my own boss. Sifting through the MOUNTAINS of information has me a bit overwhelmed. I just wanted to thank you for sharing how to succeed in this business. I am determined to figure it all out, and bring home enough to eat.

There are times when “blogging” would be just what and where I could write my thoughts. I just don’t kown if others would like to hear (read) my thoughts on subjects, that I feel that I have some experiste in.
There would be days that may be very counter-productive. Yet there are more times when I have my own thoughts and no where to go with them.
My head rolls with words that put into sentences, express another side of me. Sometimes when I speak to friends they think I have lost my “marbles”, they don’t understand the logical aspect of what I am trying to say.
I think that “blogging” would be the way to go…..yet I don’t always sit with pen-in-hand, and a sheet of paper to go with it…..to write what I am thinking. So often wonder if I were to “blog” my thoughts once a week or may be, once a month…..would it still work? Could I still have a side of the blog where I could set-up an Affiliate Marketable site?
That is another question…how do I set-up a blog/site, and where would I put it…..so that others could leave their thoughts and/or comments. Good, bad, or indifferent.

I do feel like Affiliate Marketing would (and could) bridge that gap between starving and living a decent life, not dreading the days that I have to work for a badgering boss.
Where do I start??? Because of the many subjects that I find intersting, what would I call a blogging site?
How do I find good merchants that would want to be a part of such a blog?
I like working with animals, mostly dogs, training, foods, etc. at least my dogs never made me sick or gave me a heart attack …..as the job that I have now….has and does.

Dear Ros,

I’d like to try my skills in blogging. Would you think I have a future for this if I write this way? (Please see my sample work below)

Thanks & kind regards.

Reasons to Be Thankful

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the millions who won’t survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture,
or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world.
If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head,
and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace,
you are among the top 8 percent of the world’s wealthy.

This article makes me contemplate whether the time is right for me given the time, continuity and written vs audio-visual elements you mention. I’ve been visiting several blogging sites in the past weeks and I must say, it’s not an easy thing to do. Ideas must come on a continuous basis and spontaneity is a big factor

To do blogging one must need to have all the qualities as Rosalind said. But blogging like an habit once started no body leave it.

I’ve been visiting several blogging sites in the past weeks and I must say, it’s not an easy thing to do. Ideas must come on a continuous basis and spontaneity is a big factor. I’ve once dreamed of being a writer, but I guess… I need to learn more.
