Day 3 of Ultimate Blogging Challenge

I’m always looking for ways to earn money which would allow me to remain at home with me as I was looking through the website, I thought you might be interested in learning how to make money as well.

I thought I would share the information Michelle Shaffer sent us to help us get started and as you look through the list, let me know which items you have done or will do.

Before I share the list with you, I would like to let you know this is Day 3 of Michelle Shaffer Ultimate Blogging Challenge. I am so happy you took the time to stop by my website. I would like to invite you to join us in the challenge as there is still time.

Look through the list come back and leave me a comment with the numbers that you have done and let us know how these items worked out for you. As well as which ones you would like to do in the future or which ones you would never do and why.

For me I, have done the following:

1, 2, 3, 9, 11, 12, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28

I have just started to do videos and it says I can charge for them which would be another way I can earn income.

Bonus tip: if you don’t have your own business yet and are looking for ideas of how to bring in an income from home with your blog, go to Fiverr and just browse to see what others are offering. While $5 at a time isn’t a big paycheck, Fiverr can be a great way to get started and generate leads on small services that turn into clients for bigger projects, it may also spark ideas for you that you haven’t thought of yet.
