How To Make Money At Home

Just got back on a plane from Hong Kong, pretty darn tired but thought I should put something up on here. This blog hasn’t been updated for around three weeks now, which is pretty long online. We’ve had plenty of emails and instant messages asking whether we’ve given up, whether this was going to be sold et cetera.

First off – no, we’ll be keeping this blog for the forseeable future (unless someone makes us an awesome offer). We did receive a couple of tentative offers in the one thousand dollar range but turned them down as this blog is already worth a bit more than that. I’m not going to make excuses for why this wasn’t updated – the simple reason is that Casey was away on business and I was away on vacation (and at the time, way too out of it to worry about blogging). I’m back now and he will be soon so we can push on with this.

I’m going to be honest with you – both of us are busy, and this blog is free. Yes, it is important, but we don’t have the time to update frequently. We will be updating – the goal is one post a week; sometimes it may be a few more, sometimes a few less. However, each of our guide posts will hopefully teach people something, for the cost of nothing. That’s why I recommend subscribing – to be honest, I don’t really care about metrics like how many page views this blog gets, how many clickthroughs and whatnot – if you subscribe, you get updates emailed to you on the day they go out, whenever they go out. You can do that here.

Although we didn’t plan to really make money with this blog, it’s already generated around $500 in revenue, most of that through a tiny link for Poll Factory in the email / zip submit post. I see potential, and I’m willing to wait and work towards making this blog big… but patiently.

We’re still going to be following the same plan we were before – guides and interviews. Guides about various ways to make money online, and interviews with those that are currently doing it. Two other things we want to run with is a contest (cash prize and easy to participate in – will probably just require subscribing, as we don’t want to make people have to jump through too many hoops) and the new theme. Unfortunately the person that was supposed to create the theme flaked out on us at the last minute and now we need to find another one.

We can cover the interviews, the guides, the theme, the contest ourselves. However, we really want to hear from you guys – that’s who we’re running this for. Without your wants, your opinions, we can’t do jack.

So let us know what guides you want to see (any specific way to make money online you want discussed?), who you want to see interviewed, any ideas you have for this blog. User contributed feedback is the easiest and most useful way to know how a blog is doing.

Thanks again for sticking with us!
