Are you working out of home? If so, have you considered getting a real office to get legit working time? Maybe you just need physical separation, and not necessarily W2 income / benefits...?

We blog like crazy mofo's. Educate yourself and your consumer all at the same time, and do it daily for two years straight. You can't not have some level of results if your writing is decent or better. Combined with excellent te
