Stay Home and Blog. Replace your job with a Blog and work at home.
Working stiffs take heed. Lots of bloggers are finding ways to monetize their blogs and generate enough income to work at home. The employment playing field has changed dramatically in the past decade and it is continuing to evolve. Anyone interested in working at home should look into blogging as a viable way to bring in revenue.
Though with the new FTC regulations, you have to disclose any affiliate relationships with what you're selling, you can still use your blog to work at home. Write reviews of products you endorse and be paid commissions from sites like Amazon.com or even for products you find on ClickBank.
The blog People of Walmart was founded in August of 2009. The blog features photos of people shopping at Walmart. Along with the photos there are sarcastic, critical, usually tasteless and often funny captions... and that's it. The site has blown up with over 4 million hits per month. The owners of this blog have reportedly been able to sell advertising on the blog to the tune of almost $50,000 per month in addition they have recently added a web store selling novelties to capitalize even more on their popularity.
The fact is, you never know what is going to catch and if you never do anything you never will. You can dream about working at home or you can make it a reality by actually taking steps to do it. Will you make $50,000 a month from the get go? That is unlikely. Will it take work to monetize your blog? YES. No one makes money online without doing work. But, it is very possible.
You can use a blog to promote affiliates, you can review products or you can set up a Cafe Press store, sell e-books, use your blog to drive people to a squeeze page and build your list. The terrain is to a large degree only limited by your imagination.
The bottom line is this. If you want to work at home and you are not blogging yet. Start today.
