So because I’m such a Headway fangirl, I decided to make a video highlighting 5 features I love (and do it under 5 minutes).
FYI – there are a couple squeaky moments in the video (one at the very beginning, so beware). Sorry about that. Crap happens.
Whatever niche you’re in, chances are you can do some consulting on the side as a way of monetizing your blog. A lot of people get into consulting, then realize they don’t like doing consulting (because they don’t like people or having clients or whatever), so make sure you’re okay with the fact that you’ll have people to email and respond to every day, and sometimes it might be a headache.
I’m going to give you a quick step-by-step on how to start offering consulting services on your blog, using all free tools. Chances are, if this becomes a big earner for you, you’re going to want to upgrade your tools to some that cost money, but for now we’ll stick with the freebies.
Disclosure: The title of this post is “my slightly biased review”. Just being honest. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dave for the past year, and I can happily say he’s a friend of mine. So if that makes me biased, so be it. But no one is twisting my arm to write this review, and I don’t recommend anything on this blog that I haven’t tried myself and liked.
Straight-up: you want to see a David Risley success story? You’re looking at one.
At the beginning of 2008, I was working at a job I hated and wanting to make some sort of transition out of it. I had been following Dave’s blog and I could relate to a lot of the things he was saying about lifestyle design and job security.
I started following him on Twitter. When he said he needed a virtual assistant, I volunteered myself, and the rest is history.
