buy the book pay off my mortgageOkay, here’s the deal. I love blogging, I love
blogs and I love personal development. Only trouble is I can only do
it part time at the moment as I have to work to pay the bills and the mortgage. I
had a conversation with my wife and we have agreed that if I can pay off the
mortgage I can give up work and become a professional blogger.

How to go about this? Keep on blogging part time, and do what I am
doing and hope to make it by giving courses on blogging, yep that could work,
but again as I am only part time it is a full time job doing all this.

So I have looked at what I have got to offer readers. I
have an eBook of the blog, the adverts for which you can see at the top and
right hand side of this blog. The eBook is £4.99 and I therefore
need to sell 20,000 to realise my goal, this takes into account affiliate fees
at 30%. I
will also be saving money from the money from my full time job, money I get
from managing www.rodthomasblog.com ,
money from Google AdSense and my wife will be helping a lot toward this goal
as she is also working. I am also looking for more blog consultancy work
at www.blogconsultant.co.uk

However the main push is to sell the eBook and try and sell 20,000 of them. You
can help by buying one of the eBooks, reviewing the book on your blog and spreading
the word about what I am doing.

You can also become an affiliate and get 30% of the book sale, so everyone’s
a winner.

I will post a weekly update. The figures to date are:

Original Target

£75,000 ($142,000)

Savings from work

£4000

Savings from Blog Consultancy

£2000

Google Income

£100

eBook Sales to date (minus affiliate fees)

£29.49

New Target

£68,871 ($130,000)

Steven, I like your idea. I plan to blog about this next week. Make sure you encourage buyers to also post about your ebook and include links to purchase it. Best of success with this!
