While three days have actually gone by since day 1, I’m actually calling this day 2. Why? Because Sunday I didn’t really work on earning any income, and Monday was an amalgam of personal blogging, and a continuation of research.

Money Making Blogs

After clicking and reviewing over 100 blogs on Entrecard and Digital Product Reporter’s “Make Money Online Top 100 Blogs” in search for some type of guidance on how to make money online, it was clear that a large majority of the money making blogs didn’t really have anything to offer in terms of direction or step-by-step instructions. Most of them offered only news or personal opinions about a new product, untested ideas about how to promote your blog, or a brazen attempt to redirect me to another website. There was little information about how to actually make money online.

I did manage to find a site that offered a bit more than content on how to make money.  5 Star Affiliate Blogs posted an interview with affiliate marketer Rae Hoffman, A.K.A. SugarRae. Rae offered in this interview, honest, no hidden agenda advice on how to make money in affiliate marketing. She is a rare gem for doing so. From the sites that I visited most people would charge for this kind of information (or promote an affiliate product for you to buy.)

To conclude here, researching to find a mentor or resource site to model and learn from took up most of day 2.
