I’m sure – well, I hope – that more than a few of you have been wondering that.  It’s been…a month?…since I last posted something new.  And you know – it isn’t because I didn’t want to.  Ideas came to me in the middle of the night, I’ve got loads of notes jotted down and files with things that I want to remember.

But you can’t do everything at once and I’ve had two projects that I’ve been working on that has put some of my other things on the back burner.

One of the things I have been working on is my first e-book.  It’s not a social media e-book though.  I have a niche site on anxiety and panic disorders and I decided that it was time to come out with my first product for that site.  I don’t want to inflate the traffic to that site by putting  a link here though, so if this is a topic that is of interest to you or if you have a site that is on a similar topic and would like to be an affiliate of my ebook, please use the Comment form to send me a message and I will send you the info you need.  The book is done, the e-book cover is made.  I just need to work up a sales page and some promo material and it will be ready to go.

The other thing that I’ve been doing is some experimentation with residual income.  Which is where that niche site came in.  I have three niche sites but they haven’t had a lot of attention from me lately.  So I’ve been building up some content on them, building some backlinks, building some linkwheels, and generally getting them moving.  They are doing better now and I’m getting into more of a routine.

You know, I actually got so busy that I decided that I was not going to take any more writing work for private clients unless someone contacted me and was willing to pay a higher price than I usually ask.  Well, wouldn’t you know, 3 days later, someone did contact me and was happy to pay what I am worth.  No questions asked.  It was fabulous.  Everything was worked out in a matter of days.  I’ve also gotten permission from another client to outsource some lower paying work – I had  to in order to be able to dedicate more time to my residual earnings projects.

You might be thinking, “Why is she telling us all this stuff? What does this have to do with social media or freelancing?”

Well, my dear friends, the reason is because I want you to understand that most people who work online these days have more than one source of income.  Most people do a few different things that work for them.  And to me, that is one of the greatest things about working  online.  You can do some private client work plus run your own blogs and sites and you can do some residual income work in there, too.  It’s completely up to you.  Your the boss – so what do you want to do?

Do you love the look of this blog? Want your blog to look this hot? Then I'll tell you my secret! First, the blog theme I use is Thesis. It is very customizable PLUS it is great for your on page SEO!


Second, I'm using a blog skin (strangely enough it is called Blog Skin) from Thesis Awesome.


The combination of these two great blogging tools makes it easy for me to change up the look of my blog. I have to warn you though - using Thesis may turn you into a Thesis snob! It did for me!
