Blogging For Income --- Baby Steps

January 05, 2010

Here's the thing --- I'm aching and intending to retire from a government job ASAP and see what's out there for me. I've given my prime to civil service. And perhaps unfortunately, some money-intensive dreams came into my consciousness quite late in life. And proceeds from a government job cannot underwrite these late-comer dreams and even my retirement.And so I have a lot of financial catching up to do. So, scouting for sources of multiple streams of income without going the 8-to-5-employee track again, I came across internet business/marketing as a very tantalizing possibility ...I could see me criss-crossing Europe and maybe the world with my laptop and camera with the passive income from my internet businesses just flowing in, avalanching in and oozing in to my Paypal account ... Some vision which I like very much ..

So now, the baby steps. They say that blogging is one way to go. I've started blogging in 2007, Feb. 26 to be exact, but it was more for personal journaling of my daily internal landscapes,anything that comes to mind,not of any business or commercial value. Later on, however, I added a few more blogs that were more focused by topic. One of them in this "Cornucopia" blog which would contain my musings and external information about my changing "money-wealth-abundance" mindset. It became apparent later on that this blogging can be monetized.

Below are two articles/audios on how to do 'blogging for income' right that I have started to read/listen to. Still have to study them carefully and apply them, which I am going to do in the next days. This is one of my 'must-do' in 2010 -- set up a viable monetized blog. So here I go.
