Why not take your posts here and others and create a blog about your situation? Sincere stories that pertain to a large interest across the Web (economic survival) generate a lot of viewers. After you get enough traffic, many people here can help you monetize your traffic. The time to blog is minimal and very therapeutic. Just give it some thought, blogs are very easy to setup.

Thank you for the idea. I have a blog, a few actually. I need to devote some time to writing in them. I keep a hardcover handwritten journal...I'm still very old fashioned in that sense. I started a blog on wordpress recently and have had a couple on livejournal that I have sporadically blogged on for about 4 years. I have wondered if I could have them moved to my own domain but having anything done online costs $$$ and I have always had better uses for the money than to spend it doing that. It is therapeutic and I do enjoy it. Thanks again!

Sue

I am sooo often asked how a person can start a business when they can barely survive financially. In fact this is the number one question I get. I almost always start by saying these exact words, "You are spending money on the wrong things."

I usually get a response as if they feel I could never understand their situation and asking me the question was useless. If they really want the answer rather than just show off their miserable situation then I explain further.

Starting a business is a mindset (way of thinking) which is almost completely programmed out of us when we are kids by the school system and/or traditional parenting. You have to spend the time to learn what you need to actually start a good business by searching the right sources of information (I.E. this forum). Then you have to right down step by step what needs to be done. Then you have to spend the money to complete each step (like buying a domain name, or a press release).

So my advice to you is start spending on the right things which will improve your financial future.
