Financial Freedom From Home

This blog is going to chronicle my personal quest to earn financial freedom while working entirely from home. I live in Virginia back in the mountains on 50 plus acres in a large white house. For over a century the residents of this home have lived a true Homestead life. They were farmers and woodworkers who earned their entire incomes from a sweaty brow and hard work while never really leaving the land to do it. Recently, thanks in no small part to the current bad economy, I found myself joining the ranks of the unemployed. I tried with a valiant effort to find a new position, but alas there were none to be given. I realized my only hope was to work from home. Alas, I have no woodworking skills and I posses a red thumb (that is exactly opposite the green thumb on the color wheel) so farming was out. What I do have is a decent understanding of the internet and computers. I set out to earn my entire household income from the internet in the comfort of my own home. I possess a tenacious, driven work ethic. This allowed me to survive for close to a year just selling goods on Amazon. More on that in another post. Now the sales are slumping since my goods have a winter drive and fall off sharply in the summer. It is time to reinvest my time and money in another direction. I have chosen a mixture of retail web stores and affiliate marketing. This will, with some tweaking, allow me to earn total financial freedom while working from home. I hope some of you will come along with me on this ride. there may be some missteps, but I promise that I will make it. Would you rather ride the roller coaster with me or fail just from not trying?
