I have been blogging for about 3 years now, and only within the past year began seriously pursuing work at home opportunities. Presenting them on my personal blog (so far) has brought many clicks to my business links, but no sales.

How do I work to convert those “clicks” to sales without losing the personal touch with my readers? I think this is similar to Jamie’s question.

I still feel like I’m starting out with direct sales so it’s somewhat new to me and I have no direct sales experience behind me.

I have been following this blog and a few other WAHM-type blogs for about two months now and I really DO get the concepts – building exposure and relationships, etc. It all makes perfect sense and I can see how, with work, it all comes together.

I am thinking of pursuing a home-based editing business. Purely editing and proofreading.

My question is: Do I have to have a blog?

I’m an excellent writer but I just don’t have that much to say that would be of interest to others. Who wants to read about split infinitives? Besides, I want to edit what others say, not write.

Okay, my question is: How do you decide what’s right for you and your blog money making wise? At what point do I start to look like a total sell out blog with no important info?

I have been studying up on internet marketing and how to earn an income online for about four months now. I have done a few things here and there not much. The things I am passionate about are niches that don’t make a lot of money (at least that is what I think). For instance coupons and being frugal, sweepstakes (people who want to get things free) and genealogy! So how do I settle for a niche that I am passionate about that won’t make me a lot of profit or do I find a niche that will be profitable that I don’t love? Hope this isn’t to complicated!

I totally agree that coaching/mentorship is extremely beneficial in shortening the learning curve. Thanks so much for opening yourself up for questions! Here’s my question:

What are the top 3 things a newbie can do to market their blog or online business?

Feel free to add more than 3 if there are other things you find important.
