Podcasting is the new blogging... hmm... I prefer YouTube. But I listen to a lot of YouTube channels as if they're a podcast. So I might as well listen to more podcasts. Lisa Irby's description: "Podcasting is a great way to get in front of a different audience that may not have discovered you. It's also an effective way to promote your site or products and can bring passive traffic over time."

Lisa Irby's description: The biggest challenge I face with print on demand is learning what to sell where. That's why I tend to focus more on sites I sell the most on. In this video I'm sharing a couple of tips about selling on Zazzle and Spreadshirt.  Check out my print on demand website at http://www.passiveshirtprofits.com There's something in this video she says that is basically the key to earning in POD! If you're trying to earn your money using sites like Zazzle, Amazon Merch, Spreadshirt, Redbubble and the list goes on... you will have to spend some time figuring out the site. A lot of "gurus" on YouTube talk about creating a T-shirt design and publish it to multiple sites, totally relying on that site's customer base. But Lisa Irby knows that if we want to diversify our POD income streams, we really have to diversify more than just the sites that we're using, and figure out how to do well on those individual sites. It's a lot o

I want to keep track of this 14 day channel and re-watch it in order at sometime in the future. Lisa Irby's description: "So what happened to my channel after uploading a video 14 days in a row? Here's some stats! I'm sharing how much my subscribers increased, partner revenue increased, etc." I'm not really a niche oriented person either. Like Lisa Irby, I have all kinds of tasks I work at regularly. That's because diversification is key to making a living online. I watched this challenge because though I've dabbled in YouTube, and have two monetized but unused channels just sitting around not earning any money. I haven't really given it any consistency. My first channel I started years ago, thinking of it more in terms of sharing with family. Over the years I unsuccessfully tried to promote my Zazzle store with some videos. I wouldn't mind trying to create more content answering questions that people want an answer to. I basically watc

I don't work at coffee shops. But I've seen some people online that swear by it. I should challenge myself to see if I can be more productive at a coffee shop. I should test it for myself.

We actually have paid $1000 for a course once. The videos we bought were helpful. In the end, I wish we still had the $1000. But I can't say that I didn't realize what we were getting into before hand. We spent a lot of time planning taking that course! That experience didn't turn me off spending big money on courses. Recently I decided NOT to take another $1000 course. I know that the person offering the course does have a successful business, and their site is out there to be seen for the entire online world to see. But when I compared the tips in their preliminary webinar to their actual business site, they just weren't using their own tips. Even though I can see that they're experienced, I don't want to give them $1000 when it isn't at all obvious they're teaching from that experience. So, in my life, it has worked out that I am not a fool that can easily be parted with $1000. But I can be easily parted from small amounts of money! I get fool
