Sorry for the lack of updates - I actually have a ton of entries to do and things I want to talk about.  I will hopefully get to updating this weekend at some point!

Check back Saturday or Sunday!

To be honest, my WE success happened almost overnight, but at the same time took years. Let me explain.

Since May of 2003, I had a website up on the internet. I started advertising and making a little bit of money on it in early 2005. By mid-2005, I decided that I wanted to one day work from home and do websites or computer stuff. The problem is that I wasn’t sure exactly how, or what I wanted to do.

I flirted with many computer type stuff before discovering what I was good at. I started with web design, which honestly, I was only decently good with. I would redesign my site many times a year. But somehow, the designing aspect never really took off with me. (Although I did get paid to design someone’s site, eventually). Next, I tried learning how to program PHP so I could start building my own applications.

While interesting, it just didn’t stick, either. To be honest I’m not sure why.

Finally, I discovered that all along, I had been good at “putting content on the web”. I was beginning to get paid for it, but still only a couple hundred a month. Nowhere near enough what I wanted to make. Read the rest of this entry »

This is my first post…

Basically, I plan to use this blog to talk about my full time job as a home Web Entrepreneur (referred to as WE from here on out).  I will also cover my day to day life as a WE, both ups and downs.

I will quickly introduce myself and then get going, because it’s currently past my bedtime!  I’m Rian, 29 years old, female, live in the Northeast USA (New Hampshire for now).  I used to slog away doing date entry and boring office stuff.  Now?  I sit in front of a computer in my underwear, updating my websites for a living.  I went from making around $24,000 to currently averaging $46,000 per year… and it’s only going up.  So long as I don’t get too lazy.  (I struggled with that my first two months out of a “normal” job).

In the next post, I will talk about what led me to this place and how I did it.
