Earn a living from your hobby!
The hobby of blogging has now become a great way to earn a little extra money and be a side business. There are still many people who enjoy blogging as their hobby or a way to display their creativity but at the same time, earning some money on the side. So where do you draw the line? What kind of role does money play when it comes to blogging? If you are a first time blogger or have been blogging for a long time, the first thing you need to decide before making that first post is what your motivation really is. If your number one goal for blogging is to make lot money, you should probably look for a different business. Many are having great success with their blogs but for most, they are not going to be millionaires off their blog. When you decide to start blogging, you shouldn’t make it all about the money. Focus on your readers first and when you are trying to meet their needs first is when you receive the most benefits. If you want to know what they want to read, ask them. A lot of times you don’t even need to ask them, you can just read the different comments that they have left. Many will leave suggestions for other posts or ask questions that could spark a whole new topic.

Focus On Your Readers
When you are focusing on your readers, they will enjoy what they are reading and pass the blog onto others. If you are making a little extra money from your blog, then treat it like a business.

If your first go at having a blog isn’t very successful as you would like, make a few changes and see if that helps. When the money does start to come from your blog, make sure to pay yourself. The more time you spend on the blog, the better it will be and the more hits you will get. Reward yourself for that hard work before you invest the money in the blog or a different business. And don’t feel guilty by earning money from your hobby. Continue reading →

If you haven’t heard of it, Google Voice is out and it is coming out loud. What is it anyway you may ask? It is a VOIP phone technology that gives you a phone number. This phone number is like an email that Google gives out for free. This number will be a second phone number that you can have, and you can use it as follow:

1. Use it as a business number and give it out to people – when people call you their call will be forwarded to your phone, and you have the option to reject for accept it.

2. Give it the number out to people that barely know – hide your true number, we don’t want to deal with stalkers.

3.Use the number for fun, you can call out from this number and prank call your friends.

4.Use the number to a special love one - it will certainly make something feel really special he/she knows that a phone number is dedicated only to them.

This Google Voice service is a great technology that goes hand in hand with people that are using a smart phone. There are ways where you can use it to save minutes on your regular phones. Many appz are being built around this cool, free, and slick technology. As of this moment, Google will only let Invited Users to have this cool service. Many people are looking left and right for invitation to use this service, but you have to get in line. You can sign up for an Google Voice Invite here, but you may have to wait for a while. Sign up, be patient, and you will get invited. It took me about 3 months to get invited, but I am happy with my second free phone number. Good Luck Everyone
