I've learned a very valuable lesson over the last few months.  If you've read my previous blog post, you'll know that I was feeling down and felt that writing was a weak spot for me. Now, here I am a couple of months later making close to $1000 a month writing for other people.  

If you would have suggested that back then that I was going to make money writing for others,I would have said you were crazy. In fact I was thinking of paying others to write for me.  But with tight finances, I realized that I just couldn't swing it.  So I started bidding on freelancer. That first job was the toughest, but I pushed through and am now making some money so that I have eased the desperation somewhat. This has allowed me to focus more on the marketing aspect of making money online and to purchase some tools that make online marketing seem easier.  The biggest benefit? I can now write articles with ease.  What once seemed like a very daunting task has become very easy for me.  

I guess the point of this blog is that if you are desperate for money, as many of us are, although it can be motivating it can also put you in a state of panic. When in this state, you can become easily frustrated and make snap decisions.  This usually results in not doing proper research and just sort of throwing things up to see what sticks. I've read some posts by people indicating that they don't have the money to purchase a domain name.  You can easily earn 5-10 bucks writing a couple of articles, thus giving you the money for that domain.  Find a way to get money coming in now, so that your online marketing can be better thought out without the desperation.
