I wouldn’t. But that’s because I have other work that pays a lot more. If it’s easy and you don’t have to work too hard, hey, why not? You can post in the early hours, spend time in front of the tv with the laptop and post for the entire week, and basically do this in your off hours. I had a job like that once and I kept it until the company arbitrarily changed our contracts (and our pay) without notice or warning. We had to sign on to post, and they pasted a contract we had to accept in order to post or even to cancel our contracts. It was then I was able to let the easy job go.

Sal, it’s up to you entirely. I say if the effort is minimal and it’s not getting in the way of other work, keep it.

The blog job pays $5 a post for 200 words. I think it usually takes me about 10-15 minutes to crank one out. If that were the case for you, would you do it?

Just look in new places and also look at that blog job – is it really paying enough for the amount of work?

I am applying to tons of articles and actually getting a pretty good response. My goal for next year is to be able to make $12,000 doing freelance work. While that won’t support my family and our bills, it will offer some cushion. Not to mention I think it is a lofty goal to make $1000 a month seeing as I am only making $100 a month right now with a blog that I have to post on M-F (my only live cash flow).

I like the breakdown though. It makes a lot of sense to me. I think I will grab my new Moleskine and get to work planning out 2009, my 5 figure year 😉

Admirable goals/process. Maybe I’ll get better structured in the coming year!
