If you've ever embarked on a journey or an endeavour, you will likely understand that as you go along, you realize how little you understood at the beginning about what you were undertaking.
If you want to work from home as a serious blogger, webmaster, you will need to move from a free blogging site, like this one, to a self-owned domain and hosted by one of many companies.
Some free blogging sites such as this one, limit the kind of advertising that may be done, so if you are trying to make an income, trying to really work from home as a business, the next step will take you into a small investment in domains and hosts.
Once you set up a domain, get it hosted, you will need to download a web building program. However, unlike Blogger or other program hosted by Google or Yahoo, the site will need to be built from the ground up. It is becoming apparent to me that the user friendly set up here is only available because it has been set up by experts in the field. Your own site is not that easy! I'm getting into an area now of having to build elements into my site, which are already pre-programmed into Blogger. Like the edit feature, settings designs and the ability to monetize a site.
So, here I am stuck at a point which I think happens to a lot of us. What is the answer? Fortunately, the programs have tutorials. So its read read read, for me.
Be aware though, as I was not, of the masses of work ahead of you before you start on a site building, web marketing enterprise. Hmmmm, babysitting is starting to look pretty good!
Ashlee’s Work From Home Happiness blog is anything and everything you wanted to know about work from home opportunities. I had no idea how many different work from home jobs there are!
