Beginning of a Journey

I’m 30 years old and I’m starting over. I’m betting a lot of people are saying that right now. With the economic slump felt across the globe, many are losing their jobs and not knowing what to do with themselves. People are rethinking what they want out of life and what they can get out of life. Many are turning to the internet for a new source of income. This will be a passing craze for most, a small amount of income for some, but for a rare few, the ones who have the talent and the drive to put in the extreme amount of time and effort involved, it will be a living.

I’m going to give it a go. This is not my first attempt, but it will be the most dedicated attempt. I’ve been studying online income for the past four years whenever I get a chance. Now I sit, jobless and with very few job prospects. Not only do I have no choice but to make this work, but I’m excited about having something to pour myself into.

I’m not totally starting from scratch though. I currently have 250 photos on various microstock photography websites, although I’ve barely uploaded anything new in the past 2 years. This has been passive income at it’s best, and what made me sure that a living could be attained at home via the internet. I consistantly make around the same amount each month, 8 months out of the year from these photos. Stock photography sales plummet over the summer months. I also started writing again which was a hobby in my teens. I’ve been publishing articles online since June of this year.

Each month I will highlight where I’m earning money, and how much I’ve made. Using me as an example you can see what works and what doesn’t to help you on your journey.
