A couple weeks ago I got started a new project, Workathomescoop.com. I decided to start another blog; this time based on the work at home industry. As you probably know, millions of people either work from home or are interested in moving in this direction. Although there are many blogs based around this topic, after doing my research it is obvious that there is plenty of room for more high quality information. Â
Why a blog on working at home?
1. The economy is bad. For this reason, more people are interested in taking their career into their own hands. To go along with this, quite a few Americans are being pushed into a new career because they were recently laid off. What better way to take control of your career than to work for yourself? Since I have more than five years experience working from home I figured I could lend some insight on everything from getting started to setting goals and much more.
2. A lot of people say they want to work from home, but never get started because it is either “too much work†or there “isn’t enough help out there.†It is my goal to help interested work at home professionals get past whatever is holding them back. Starting a work at home career is not impossible with the right information. I hope to offer this.
3. I know a lot about working from home! As a freelance writer I work from home day in and day out. Over the years I have learned a lot about what it takes to get started, succeed, and maintain a successful work at home career. Hopefully this experience will rub off on my readers, and help them reach all of their goals.

A couple months ago Stephane Grenier sent me a quick email asking if I’d like to receive a free copy of his new book, Blog Blazers. Since I love reading, especially about topics I enjoy, I took him up on his offer and promised to add a review to my blog.
So what is Blog Blazers all about? The front cover says it all: 40 top bloggers share their secrets to creating a high profile, high-traffic, and high-profit blog! If you have any interest in blogging, no matter your aspirations, this is the book for you.
In my opinion, learning from others is one of the best ways to increase your knowledge base while also working towards success. After you read Blog Blazers you are sure to know more about what it takes to build a successful blog. And to go along with this, you will be more motivated than ever to take your blog to the next level.
Simply put, Blog Blazers is a great book for anybody who wants to succeed as a blogger. Not only does it offer top notch information from some of the biggest names in the blogging industry, but it is also well written with a killer layout.
For more information or to buy your own copy of Blog Blazers visit Blogblazers.com. This is one purchase you will not regret.
From time to time I like to ask my readers for suggestions. This time around I have a few important questions. Most importantly, do you monetize your blog? This is something I have been thinking about for quite some time, and for good reason. More and more people are asking if they can advertise on my blog in a number of different ways.
At this time I am strongly leaning towards monetizing this blog, as well as many others in my network. It seems that this is a great way to earn some extra money while also offsetting the costs of hosting, etc. That being said, I don’t want to go overboard by cramming in so many ads that it takes away from the content.
So do you monetize your blog? Do you shy away from sites that have advertising and paid reviews? In my opinion advertising is okay as long as the site is not loaded with ads and continues to offer valuable information.
Any feedback on this subject would be great. You can either leave a comment for everybody to see or send me a quick email. Again, I have been semi-monetizing my blog for a few months but it seems that I can now begin to earn a decent income by doing so even more. But before I get started I want to get some feedback from you!
