Thank you so much for posting Carael’s inspiring words! It’s true, making a profit via blogging, or any other online endeavor, is completely within reach to anyone willing to try. You’re also correct in saying that this is not an overnight success story; this is something you have to work at and learn from before you really start seeing the money coming your way. So many have become impatient and given up early, but if you stick it out for the long run, the chances of success are much better than you’d expect! I’ve taken my business to the internet with Microsoft’s new Office Live Small Business. Have you heard of it? It’s a fabulous tool for any starting entrepreneur to get his/her home business up and running with ease and professionalism. It’s got a highly organized e-mail system that allows you to check the status of sent messages, and create wonderful newsletters to send out to your consumers. It also has a fantastic web design platform where you can create a professional, customized website for your business with absolutely no HTML experience at all!

There’s more information about OLSB at http://smallbusiness.officelive.com

You can also track the hits to your page, and make extra cash using the new AdManager platform. The best part, in my opinion, is that OLSB gives you a free “.com” web address! And on top of it all, Microsoft hosts everything on your site for free! Please, give it a try, and if you or your readers have any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail! I work with Microsoft and would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. My personal e-mail address is k-rosenberg@live.com. Again, thank you so much for posting this insightful blog, I’ll be checking back soon!
