I can relate my husband feels the same way.I know that he would like to eventully start his own business to be home more also.

I hope that this store you are working on becomes properous for you and your family.

Hard work, persistence and the understanding that it will take time to reach the point when you will earn enough to quit your day job.Keep at it, never give up!
I have concentrated on writing articles and posting them on my blog regularly, I see results! But the road is long...

Tom,

Don't forget to submit to article directories as well...

Fendi is right, as always Article directories are wonderful for getting your name out there, and they bring in a bit of traffic too.

It is possible to make money from selling info products and there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do so as well.

Yes, and the traffic is also for the long term.... Passive traffic.

When I first started internet marketing - I made $20.00 my first month - but that was enough to motivate me now that I KNEW you could actually make money doing it. It wasn't look before I saw my first $500 month and better months have followed.

However ups and downs come with different programs you market - it's really about having MULTIPLE revenue streams all comming in from different directions and if one dries up - you won't panic because you have 5 - 10 other streams. If you break one leg and you only have two....

Always be consistent as well. If you aren't consistent, you'll never have a set plan in mind, perhaps you'll never know what is actually working for you.

I feel ya, it is a hard road to dredge. I spend the whole day on marketing and don't have time to do anything else. By the time I look up, the day is gone, my dog hasn't been fed, me either, and man, it's hard. But it pays off in the long road. I guess I need to learn some time mangagement skills. Anyone know how to manage time well?
