We know that most of you have been waiting to find out how we’ve done in the last few months. We haven’t reported our income recently but that’s just because we have been too busy with other aspects of our lives. Yet, blogging has really become a great source of income for us. Just imagine living off of the income you make through blogging (as a supplement of your regular paycheck of course) month after month. It’s exhilarating.

What we do is to use our blogging income for daily expenditures. We have our main paycheck covering all the bills from mortgage to car payments and utilities. But having to live off of your blogging income means we’re saving more each month. The remainder of our regular paychecks goes straight into savings and that’s something we can be proud of. It’s hard work and when we see it pay off, we are ecstatic.

We were reading an article on the net today and we were surprised because as much as we want to tell you that finding a way to make it on the “web business in making money online”, it’s not as easy as we thought it was going to be and that is exactly what sentiments others have regarding online income.

Unless you are an Internet Newbie, you’ve probably learned by now that making money on the web isn’t easy … certainly not as easy as many sales pitches would have you believe.

Yet, this doesn’t seem to deter the millions trying to compete in perhaps the most crowded web market of them all, namely, Internet Marketing.

This is not to suggest that great success is not possible in Internet Marketing. To the contrary, I can rattle off a number of names that were virtually unheard of a year ago who have done tremendously well.

We’ve gotta face it. Vanity is the reason for one of the most profitable business in the world today. Who doesn’t want to look good? Who doesn’t want to look younger. Right now, at our age - our friends are asking us - “Would you ever consider botox?” It’s just a fact of life. People want it and a service provides it. Is there anything wrong with that?

Cosmetic Surgery may be considered my many to be wrong. They say that it is unnatural, it’s not how we are intended to look. Listen folks, we know that there are limits to everything. If you take anything as safe as drinking water and take it to the extreme, it’s wrong. But we believe that there’s really nothing wrong if you can afford to do a little tuck here and there. We do believe that people who choose to have cosmetic surgery should in fact consult with a psychologist first because some may have addictive personalities that could definitely do harm to themselves than good. We all have our choices.

One successful business woman we know started as a dermatologist and yet, with the high rising demand of cosmetic surgery, she employed actual plastic surgeons and she is now a “beauty consultant mogul”. With the proper marketing and polishing her name as a brand, she was able to establish an empire because she found her niche. We always have to have a watchful eye and learn how to discover the opportunities that present themselves to us. It may just be the break we are looking for.

Someone will always think something that other people think is right to be wrong. As long as you are not hurting anyone and are able to help the ones in need - so be it.

Alright alright, we didn’t want to make enemies with the happy people out there. We mean something different. When you become complacent, you start to not try for something better. You get content with what you have. We’re not saying that you should be greedy but if you are in business, there is one thing that is very important…. Your Bottom line.

What happens if you’re content?

1. You stop growing.
2. You become part of the “I’m so proud of what I’ve done, I’ll sit back and relax now”
3. You will continue to do what you’re doing without improvement, you or your company becomes stagnant.

What you can do:

1. Always keep track of your spending.
2. Try to save the same amount of money every month (from your gross profit - i.e. 10%)
3. Repeat that month-after-month.

Of course you can be happy. We want you to be happy with your financial success. Just note that you cannot be complacent. We can be content but not complacent. Complacency is being contented to a fault where you let go of all the other opportunities that come your way. Never lose site of this. Always keep your eyes open.

I was reading this article and I couldn’t help but agree that in order to stay in business, you have to be financially healthy. It’s not a receive-spend mentality that will make you succeed. It’s more like the receive-roll-into-business-save mentality that will keep you in business for a long time.

I remember a friend who started a small convenience store. He had lots of capital in the beginning and he bought all the merchandise and stocked the store up to the ceiling. It was a great investment and since the store is located on a busy street, a lot of street traffic will help propel his business to great heights. However, although sales were great in the first few months - he was taking in the money and spending it because sales were great. He didn’t even think of setting the capital aside that will be needed to re-stock his store. He just spent it without any vision for the future.

The store closed within a year. Lesson? read on…

When we first discovered that you can create multiple income streams from the internet, we took a leap and decided that we will make this work. We ventured into eBay as our first income-producing stream. We learned a lot from it and still make money from it, but that is not our bread and butter anymore.

We got my cousin to start blogging. She is a work-at-home mom with one kid. Although she has a full time job, she is looking for other ways to supplement her income. With high costs of durable goods and gasoline these days, we all need that extra income.

She is really into real estate and have taken a course on mortgage lending, real estate markets and so forth. She was telling me about her business and told me that she can find a house in Utah or Colorado and rent it to someone she hasn’t even met or sell it to someone who’s willing to purchase while she is based in California. It’s not the traditional way of being involved in real estate. As a matter of fact, she can even find you Manhattan apartments for rent if you need one.

With the foreclosure crises, renting a place will be easier than selling these days. Although this is a very good time to buy, the buyers are reluctant because the economy is not doing great. If you are looking to rent, specially if you want to find a place in Manhattan - you can easily avail of individuals like my cousin who specializes in out of state rentals.

You may say that you are not making enough money out of blogging just yet and there aren’t enough to save and invest. We would say, you’re absolutely wrong. No matter how large or how little your blogging income is, there are creative ways of saving for investments. Remember, you are building a nest egg here.

Tips on how to invest for cheap.

Automatic Withdrawal

The money that you don’t see, you don’t spend. If you can be disciplined enough to have your blogging income be deposited directly to a bank account that you will not touch, you will be surprised how much you can save. Just think of the money as something that you never earned. Every time you make that transfer - send it on to the “secret” bank account.
