If you have experience in mainstream journalism you are a hop, skip, and jump ahead in the blogging game.

There’s also a lot of mothers that don’t want to go back to work full time. There’s lots of jobs you can do from home. Make sure you list your experience on the about page of your site.  Seriously think about having a very focused blog on a topic that you love.  If you could have any journalistic job in the world, what would it be? What would you talk about? Create that type of site.

If you were in TV try online video. You like audio the best? Start a radio show or podcast. Writing is your strong point? There are lots of freelance opportunities available online – including this one at Investigative Mommy Blogger. There are sites and forums dedicated to freelance writing jobs. Get started and immediately work on monetizing your work. You don’t have to build a resume/experience if you’ve already been in the field. You really are a hop, skip, and jump ahead. So go for it!

Here’s the type of women they are looking for straight from their website:

As you know – because you are one of them – women who engage in social media activities are some of the most authentic, connected, trusted, and vocal influencers not only online, but “in real life.”

Whether you’re blogging, tweeting, Facebooking, or just chatting up your friends over coffee, we recognize the power of your personal connections.

• Do you love to share information, opinions, thoughts, and feelings across a broad range of social media tools?
• Do you Tweet, Whirrl, Tumbl, Flickr, or Blip because it’s fun to connect and share with others?
• Do you make time for family, friends, to nurture your soul, and/or to pursue social justice issues because it’s a priority in your life?
• Do you value diversity, individual style, self-expression, and doing your personal best, more than following trends?
• Are you an enthusiastic advocate for the products and brands you believe in?
• Are you a go-to person for friends asking for advice on products to try or what to buy?
• Do you have a million and one ideas on how to make your social media and blogging experience better, more rewarding, more helpful to others?

If you’re interested in joining there is a link on the Clever Girls home page to the application. When it asks who referred you please put in my name - Jendi Pagano. Thank you so much! I don’t know if I get anything out of it, but I want them to know that I think they are worth referring to others.

The question is: What are you going to do?

You could:

• - write a book or an ebook
• - promote affiliate programs via PPC
• - sell products on eBay
• - create & optimize content-rich sites in niche markets
• - build an empire of mini-sites
• - become a public speaker
• - be a web designer, copywriter or VA

That list could go on and on… and on. What I see all too often is that many people try to do ‘the whole list’. Or at least several at once. And that can be okay if your focus is one and the same in all things that you are doing. Or it can be disastrous. A recipe for failure.

Maybe you can relate to this scenario: You set out to do something, and it takes longer to earn the amount you had hoped for… and then you see another option. You try it out, it does pretty well, so you put some time and energy into it. Something happens – rules change, markets fluctuate, algorithms change – and you’re moved two steps back. You’re introduced with something new, more stable, and you focus on that instead.

This is a familiar story. If you haven’t experienced it yourself – you’ve certainly heard about someone who has. And they’ll tell you that the business idea they started out with originally was a failure, or that there was ‘no m0ney in it’ or ‘too much competition’.

You’ve probably heard that you shouldn’t have all of your eggs in one basket. That you should create 10 micro-niche websites that earn $1,000/month instead of one larger website that will earn you $10,000/month. In less than one hour of surfing the ‘net, you might be told to do this, do that, promote x and build z. All of it sounds good. All of it could work. Try to do all of it at once and you’re going to be in trouble.

The key is to have a FOCUS.

Choose one thing and do it WELL. For example, if you have a content-rich website, you can also offer an ebook on the same topic. You can capitalize on affiliate sales, or Adsense click-through’s. You can build a highly targeted 0pt-in mailing list. You can incorporate an ‘upsell’ and backend sales into your shopping cart. You can set up your own affiliate program.

Basically, you want to build on the foundation you already have – and make it stronger, make it bigger… make it more profitable! Sure you can implement all of these new methods and strategies that you learn. But don’t set out to do something completely NEW when you have already invested the time and energy into a project you haven’t yet completed. Instead, focus on making it the BEST.

Once it is running smooth on its own, and completely automated, you may want to build another – or focus on something entirely different. But if you’re trying to build on 10 things at once, or find yourself working in entirely too many directions… it’s time to take stock, go back to the foundation, and decide how you can best finish building on that original idea of yours.

And that’s it. That’s the ONE thing that YOU should be focusing on right now.

This Green Boat Project doesn’t require much experience, but you do have to give them a year of your life. I can’t apply for this because only single people, couples, or a single parent with one child can qualify. I’m pretty sure that having 3 kids disqualifies me for this one.

I have to admit that the way The Ultimate Mountain Gig uses “mountain” as a verb kind of bugs me. I’m thinking of applying even though I’ve never skied in my life. 4 months in the Waldorf Astoria making videos and blogging is quite an incentive. I’ve been wanting to try to ski. What do you think? Should I apply from the angle of a beginner that would love to learn?

Want to make a little extra cash doing it?

Below is an email that recently came through to us and we wanted to make sure to share it with you. If you’re interested please read the following email for instructions.

We are Work Interactive, a digital agency based in Edinburgh,
Scotland.

During the last few months we have been busy developing a tool called Vertical Blogger (http://www.verticalblogger.com) which acts as a meeting point between bloggers and advertisers so bloggers can make money from their blogs.

Advertisers will post suggestions for blogs that need to have a
maximum of 250/300 words and will pay around £25-£30 per blog. Each blog can post one article per campaign per month as long as it fits into the sector of the advertiser’s campaign.

If you are interested in using our platform you can register at
http://www.verticalblogger.com

The tool has been translated into Spanish and English but very soon we will launch it in French and other languages. However, bloggers from every nationality and language can register.

If you know anybody who may be interested please forward them this email.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards
