Just a thought that popped into my head while I was reading this post.

kbldshmn said: Just a note, one thing you do have, if you're comfortable enough in sharing through a blog, is your situation where you're taking care of your disabled mother. There are many others out there in situation similar to yours. They can be a natural reader base for you. Tips and advices, even a forum, are great ways to drive blog traffic.

kbldshmn is right about the above. This would be a great way (if you and your mother are comfy talking about it), would be to start a website or blog FIRST about the situation, where you have found help, and all that kbldshmn said.

THEN: start adding affiliate programs to your blog or website little by little.

It would not make money for you quickly, but in the long term it could pay off for you very, very well.

using squidoo, blogger and other social media site to make money online can start you out, but my opinion is that you need a presence on the internet and they only way to do that is create a website or use paid hosting and create a blog.

Squidoo, and other social media sites COULD one day disappear (never, say never) and if you are using this for a major source of income, it will disappear with it.

The people that are making thousands each month did not start recently, they had a lot of trial and error (sometimes years).
