It's Obvious

I gotta get away from the security guard business and do what I'm actually INTERESTED in for money.  There's no future in that business for me and anybody except physical and spiritual death.  Writing blog articles is starting to pan out as a part-time income.  If I have enough fascinating topics to write about, it could generate full-time money.  Photography and video picked up this month but overall on a yearly basis it's still sporadic.  I'm open to suggestions.

Remember, your security job pays the bills. So you might want to stay with that until you can setup a separate income source that is steady and substantial.

Thanks, Angel. The security guard job pays SOME of the bills lol. It\'s slave wages and a lot of long hours. But, yes, it is steady, and, combined with other activities, it helps. I won\'t completely leave the job, but do plan on cutting back on it from 5 days a week to 3. The blog writing is becoming a nice income supplement!

Congrats on that... not everyone can do that and it sounds like you really enjoy it! I do graphic design and have made some money from it but just like your situation it isnt no where near paying the bills but i love doing it :)

Wow, thanks, good2go! It was a bit of a learning curve, learning SEO and keyword usage, but skyword is fairly intuitive and provides a very user-friendly writing interface. When you\'re done writing, you click an orange \"evaluate\" tab, and a column at the right tells you exactly what needs to be changed to make the article an A+ rating before it goes to editorial. Then editorial had to tell me to refer to the program guidelines on a few formatting issues, but now I\'ve gotten the hang of it. I guess I AM a talented writer! I like the structure and exactness of detail. Thanks again. Very encouraging.
