Seven To Ten

Ok, back to the business plan. Three words to summarize the core business competency - “Content is king.” In this blogging business, the first success ingredient is to write really well and get readers to come back. It is crucial to making money online but easier said than done at times.

I am not the best writer around but I love writing. There are of course other ways to make money on the Internet. Individual results vary, some are more profitable, some entail more work and some require talents and thinking out of the box.

Besides writing, there are people who offer their website design skills, music writing, games, bookkeeping, marketing, etc. Of the above mentioned, I have none of the requisite abilities and while I can self-teach myself to stay in the game, I will stick to writing for the time being.

Must start already… but I haven’t ANY idea on making a living online. Never done it before, so where do I start? The google searches throw up so much information it is daunting.

At first glance, there are certainly many mentors around but they only provide a guide to making money online. Ultimately I have to do all the work by myself, that much is clear.

A colleague once told me that before you start any business, you need a business plan. That applies to online or home-businesses as well.

I will get to thinking tonight and see if I can determine a clear direction for this blog.

Today, I spent some time exploring this wordpress blog: customizing the header, checking out the widgets and the other features. The blog theme suit me just fine. I prefer a simple, minimalist style, as they say, less is more.

Time flies even for a simple activity like finding a suitable header to use. I realize there is a lot more to learn to become a part-time blogger. For the time being, I will call it a day.

A lot has been going on in my life. Am currently working in a seven-to-ten construction job and wants to get out of the daily grind. Many conflicts demand attention, hopefully some are resolved soon.

By writing this blog and examining new ways to make money online, I can keep myself occupied and afloat financially.
