I am on a journey to work at home. Actually I already do work at home, but I also have a full-time job. My website is http://www.work-at-home-parenting.com..
I have decided to start a blog to chronicle my journey to pursue working at home full-time. I've been hearing a lot of people say that stating your goals on a blog makes you accountable. One great example of a blog where goals are publicly set and achieved is http://www.projectwahm.com.
I figured out that I need to make $60,000 a year to be able to quit my job. I am the head of my household. I have two daughters and a granddaughter and my husband is seriously ill. For that reason, I have to make sure I am making enough for adequate insurance coverage.
I want to work from home full-time more than anything. Whenever I have to ask permission to take my husband to the doctor (which is often) it makes my stomach churn. It breaks my heart that I can't be there when my daughter gets off the bus in the afternoon.
My website is 12 months old. I made less than I hoped in my first year, but some income is starting to trickle in. Almost all the money I made in my first year was made from writing. I write stories for confession magazines. I have also done some writing for other websites. Since I figured out that writing for money is what is working for me, that will be my primary focus as I lay out a plan to increase my income.
I have written a special report which focuses on writing for money and am just putting on the finishing touches. I met someone in The Warrior Forum. who is going to do an ecover for me at a reasonable price, since I am graphically challenged. Assuming I am happy with his work, I will publish a link to his site here.
Today begins my journey to making a serious plan to find a way to work from home full-time. Can a person make $60,000 from home? How long will it take me to accomplish this goal? Join me on my journey.
