Leaving my career has opened my eyes to lots of things, certainly to the reality that following the standard paths are not the only possibility. I now face exactly the same forks you have already faced.

Your openness to share your information is really valuable to me. These changes are big and I am resistant to just going to the next corporation and risk a repeat – I am really impressed by your story. This site provides a lot to think about and the data underneath so that the hype evaporates.

Thanks

Thanks

Just kidding of course, but what an awesome story man. It’s great to see other people’
s actual progress and it’s so awesome you detail the work that went into it. Other bloggers (not all just a few) act like all you have to do is sit down at your computer and money just starts coming out of the floppy drive once you have a blog.

Keep it up man, this is somewhere I plan to be at the end of 2010 myself.

Thanks for your response. Again I’m not trying to be negative, but you have to admit, in a sense, that many “work-at-home” people are buying “classified” online advertising to promote their e-books. Many of these “opportunities” are scams.

(That being said, I myself am looking at what you are doing as a possible option to make some extra money as well, but I would only want to do it in the most ethical way possible.)

To be honest, I can see that you are not operating a “system”. You are merely selling information and I commend you on this. I know that those who sell information are the ones who will make a lot of money in the future. I wish my 25 year old would do something like this to get himself out of his JOB, (Just Over Broke.)

Again, selling books on how to pass exams is one thing but selling information that appeals our greedy natures is something completely different. Information for helping people pass exams is valuable to people who need it.

I suppose that one needs to be careful not to sell information that includes books instructing other people that they can make a lot of money by simple replicating a “system” themselves, even if the creation of that said system may take many months of hard work to develop. ie, create a website, research articles, create links, figure out keywords and key phrases, organising advertising, etc, etc. You have to agree with me that we now have hundreds of thousands of bloggers, facebookers and tweeters all trying to make a buck by sitting in front of their computers day in an day out. What percentage of them are legit? What type of economy are they creating? They don’t create anything exept for information which they then sell. Pretty interesting isn’t it?

Anyway, I shall be watching your activities and reading your blog in the future. Who knows, it could pay off.
