This complaint about Shoemaker being a hypocrite is interesting regardless of your take on it, but this particular quote I vound via Stu really grabbed me: “Let me define the “Make Money Online” niche for you.

This complaint about Shoemaker being a hypocrite is interesting regardless of your take on it, but this particular quote I vound via Stu really grabbed me: “Let me define the “Make Money Online” niche for you. It’s largely a bunch of guys talking about how wealthy they are, leading inexperienced newbies on, pretending like someday they’ll reveal their “big money” secrets, and you’ll be wealthy too. In reality, they just use their blogs as newbie traffic channelers, selling it off to the highest bidder. The newbies take forever to realize that they ARE the “big money” secret the author has.” Really speaks to what Empress was saying the other day about how (most of) the big guys never really say anything of substance.

Think of offline businesses. You can start out like Amazon, just selling books, and wind up like Amazon, selling everything but body parts. Or you can start out selling hand-crafted everything, and then find all you have to do is sell a particular kind of rug that’s all the rage. And then the trends can reverse again, down the road. Being flexible is key to survival.
But getting started is key to having something that needs to survive.

You do know that what you earn online is taxable, right?
It’s different in different countries - here’s a good summation of US tax laws - but people who work for themselves can get into very complicated tax situations. The comments on that linked post also contain some interesting insights - and a couple of very [...]

It’s different in different countries - here’s a good summation of US tax laws - but people who work for themselves can get into very complicated tax situations. The comments on that linked post also contain some interesting insights - and a couple of very good questions.
In addition to all that, I’ve heard that I may need to pay estimated taxes on a quarterly basis. I’m still looking into that.
