Of course, there's the other side of me that's also looking for a small side income, but making really good money on a blog takes a lot of work and a lot of time. Expecting to make a full time salary is very ambitious and requires a lot of business know-how and planning. Right now I blog because I’ve learned so much from other blogs and wanted to give back inwebsite builderhttp://www.besteasywebsitebuilder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262668684237550974.post-7468683236692753412007-10-12T18:27:00.000-07:002007-10-12T18:27:00.000-07:00Sophiegurl,It's never to late to participate in th...Sophiegurl,<BR/>It's never to late to participate in this discussion.
