Day 7 – And Then She Rested

I signed up for the 7  Day Blogging Challenge with Brandy Mychals because one of my clients Kim Schuld was doing it and it sounded like a good idea.  I needed to get more content on my site and thus create some articles for Ezine Articles in the process so I signed up.  I really liked doing this challenge because it kept me accountable to get it done.  I know that there is the chance of winning a prize at the end of the challenge but that doesn’t matter much to me.  Well, what I mean is that it wasn’t the driving factor for why I started the challenge.

I always have ideas about topics for blog posts, I start to blog, get interrupted by a kid and then end up never finishing the post.  This must be why I found 13 draft posts on my blog. :)   By completing this challenge what I have found is that if you carve out just a little bit of time each day you can accomplish a goal, even if it just to put together a quick blog post.

So on this 7th day of the blog challenge I will rest and know that anything is possible if you just put a little bit of effort into it and keep on blogging next week.

This blog post is part of a 7-Day Blogging Challenge hosted by Brandy Mychals. You can participate in the challenge too by going to http://brandymychals.com/mb/7-day-blogging-challenge/

 

Passive Income, Making The Most Out Of Your Downtime

Making money while not working sounds wonderful doesn’t it, but how can you do it?  There are a lot of ways you can create passive income in your business while you sleep, on vacation or being Taxi Mom, like me ;)

Here are a few tips I have found are easy to set up.

Scheduled Tweets & Status Updates

There are a few services you can use for free that will allow you to automate your postings to Twitter and update your status to social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn.  The service that I use is called HootSuite and it is super easy to set up and use but you just want to create scheduled update for your Twitter account you can consider using Social Oomph.  I suggest scheduling promotional types of tweets and status updates a few times throughout the day.  What you will want to promote are your own products and services as well as other people’s products through affiliate marketing.

Ebooks

Ebook Are you an expert at something and like to write? You can easily put together an ebook and sell it from your website. You can even have a virtual assistant or graphic designer create a snazzy cover for you to help drive sales. To sell the book from your website all you need is aPayPal account and you can set up a “buy now” button on your website and customers can buy your book. Once they have made the purchase you will receive an email and send the book out to them in PDF format.
