Hiya folks. Today, I wrote a post on Mike’s Life that discusses making money off your blog by offering services, such as freelancing or consulting. I think that it would be one of my more “polished” articles, so head over to Mike’s Life and have a read! Enjoy.

Has the Recession (purposely capitalized) got you down? Are you broke as a joke? Or do you just want some extra cash flowing through your life?

Let’s get some things straight here:

1. This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. You’re not going to get rich, and if you are then it certainly will not happen quickly, I assure you. Nor effortlessly. Financial independence is no easy route, and if you’re thinking about giving up already then you might be better off doing some soul-searching (we’ll be addressing this issue in a post soon — I like to think I can motivate people).
2. This isn’t a make money online blog. There certainly are aspects to making money online that we will be addressing, but that is by no means the only method, nor the most reliable method of making money. I’ll say that straight up. But if you’re smart enough and resourceful enough, you just might be able to make money online with relative ease.
3. This isn’t just for jobless people. JoblessJoes.com will be addressing issues with employment as well, and offering ideas on promotion, expansion, and strategic planning for employment. The Art of War ain’t got nothing on this.
4. Money’s money. If you’ve decided that you don’t need a job, or can’t get a job, then good for you — we will find you other methods of earning money. Regardless of what people think, everyone needs money to survive (or they live on other people’s money).
5. My name isn’t Joe. It’s Herbert. Pleased to meet you. I hope to help you Jobless Joes and Janes find alternate methods of making money, or reaching the goal of employment. In this day and time, what have you got to lose? Read a few articles and — of course, tell me what you think.

At the moment, JoblessJoes.com has just been registered and hosted. A lot of administration work needs to be done — getting Analytics set up, a unique WordPress theme together, promotion of the website, and of course, an overall plan of how everything fits together. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
